What Chester Basin homeowners say
“We recently had our roof replaced. From the initial contact with Interlock/Maritime Metal Roofing through sales representative John through to the roof replacement work with Brendan and the rest of the roofing team; everyone was professional, helpful and responded to us in a very timely manner. The finished product looks excellent and the work site was left clean and tidy. This is a great company to work with.”
“Try to be more accurate on start times Dealing with Maritime Permanent Roofing has been a good experience from start to finish .”
“They did not clean the eaves properly. I had to do it myself and it was a pain.”
“I was quoted a three nailing system per shingle. I only received one. The crew lead member reported that to his lead member. That was a little bit upsetting.”
“We found small pieces of aluminum (sharp) on the ground. Small grandchildren needed to wear shoes. Roof looks great!”
Roofing in Chester Basin: what to plan for
Salt air: aluminum cannot rust
From Halifax Harbour and the South Shore to Yarmouth, the Fundy shore and Cape Breton, much of Nova Scotia lives with salt spray, fog and wind-driven rain, and salt is what wears out steel roofing once its coating is breached. Aluminum forms a thin, tough oxide layer that seals the metal against further corrosion and re-forms if scratched, so an Interlock® roof has no steel core to rust, on the shore or inland.
Atlantic storms, post-tropical storms and wind
Nova Scotia is exposed to Atlantic storms and the remnants of hurricanes, and wind works at shingle tabs and exposed fasteners. Interlock panels lock to each other on all four sides with the fasteners concealed, and wind resistance is warranted to 193 km/h (120 mph) installed to manufacturer specification. No roof is storm-proof: hurricane-force wind damage is a matter for your home insurance, and it is excluded from our labour warranty.
Wet snow, freeze-thaw and ice dams
Nova Scotia winters swing above and below freezing, often with rain on snow. Interlock panels weigh roughly 2 to 3.5 kg per square metre, a fraction of concrete tile, have nothing to crack or soak up water, and let snow slide rather than sit, so we plan snow guards over entries, walkways, decks and the driveway at the quote. Ice dams start with heat escaping into the attic, so we look at insulation and ventilation with you as well.
Century homes, suburbs and cottages
Older homes in Halifax and Dartmouth, newer houses in Bedford, Fall River and Hammonds Plains, century homes in Lunenburg, Wolfville and Annapolis Royal, and cottages on the shore all take the same system. Interlock's Slate, Cedar Shingle and Shake profiles give the look of slate or wood at roughly 2 to 3.5 kg per square metre, a fraction of concrete tile or natural slate. Every profile needs a minimum 3/12 roof slope, and we confirm yours at the consultation.
Condominium complexes
In a Nova Scotia condominium the board of directors of the condominium corporation usually decides on the roof, often with a reserve fund study in hand. We give boards one profile and colour across every building, the product documents they ask for, and both warranties in writing.
Our own crews, from our office in Dartmouth
We install every roof ourselves, from our office in Burnside, Dartmouth, and consultations are on Zoom or at your home anywhere in the province. The manufacturer's Guardian Lifetime Limited Material Warranty and our 10 Year Limited Labour Warranty come with the roof, and after the install, service comes from the same company.
