Just a note to let you know about the pleasant experience we had when your contractor came and installed our new Interlock roof on September 6 and 7. The group of young men who installed the roof seemed very experienced and had the roof installed in a reasonable amount of time. They acted professionally and were courteous. They cleaned up all nails and other debris that fell when they were roofing. It was a good experience for us as homeowners.
As an aside, and not as a criticism, I just want to suggest that the contractor may want to contact the homeowner a few days ahead of the day they would like to install the roof. Mr. Plesnik called us September 5th at 4:30pm to say he would be there the next morning to start the work, It worked out fine for us, but I'm sure it may be a problem for others,
We love the look of our roof and get lots of compliments on it. We can hardly wait until the snow flies, to see the difference that this new roof will make.
Sincerely,
Marlene Pelkey |

Dear Interlock Industries,
I am so satisfied with my new Interlock Roof!. Your regional manager, Mr. Patrick O'Riordan was very polite and informative. He answered all my questions and clearly explained the Interlock Roofing System.
The installer was extremely hard working. And I can't believe how clean he left the job site! I am truly impressed.
Many people have stopped by, as this is a very busy street, and I have expressed my satisfaction with your company to those with whom I have spoken.
I was interested in your roofing system due to our New England winters, snow and ice dams on my roof. I can hardly wait for a snowstorm (well-almost) to see how the roof performs.
Thanks for such a great job! Keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
Gloria Carpentier

For me the change to a metal roof is something I have thought about for some time as I have had nothing but problems with new asphalt put on ten years ago. Ice dams and leaks have been a problem from the beginning of which I thought taking off the gutter would help. Next was to pay to have a three foot, piece of aluminum put in along the length of the roof, result, snow dams above the aluminum strip.
The next thing to try was electric wires, which were somewhat successful, but meant taking down and putting up yearly.
At the age of 54, to be on a ladder dealing with wires and ice dams is okay, but how about 64 or 74. Some new way to roof had to be the answer. In New Hampshire where my brother and I have a summer place, a new cabin was being built and it had the long metal panels which didn't look to bad but planted. The idea that an option was out there. Interlock was the better choice for a metal type roof and looks better to.
The cost of snow seal and new shingles, stripping off two layers, the cost of recycling in twenty years, led me to see that a non asphalt does cost more initially, but how about in the long run? Probably not.
With my new Interlock Roof, time spent on the roof, don't see any need, snow dams, snow slides off. No need for roof rake or wires. Loudness in the rain, not noticeable. Appearance, looks great. With this roofing - problem solved, it's on to other needed repairs.
Thanks Interlock.
Sincerely,
Daniel Raske |

Dear Sir or Madam:
I had an Interlock roof put on my house recently. I am pleased with it. The color of the roof matches my house nicely. Your employees did a good job of cleaning up the debris, especially considering the fact that one half of my existing roof had to be stripped of its existing two layers of asphalt shingles. I would recommend this roof to ethers for these reasons and also for the following reasons:
When I bought my house over 4 years ago it was 10 years old and had an asphalt roof, The home inspector who looked at the house noticed that a few of the shingles were lifting and that there were some gaps in the chimney flashing that he said were consistent with normal wear and tear over the years. When I hired a contractor to make repairs I was surprised to learn from him that many of the asphalt shingles were cracked and that one half of the roof would need to be re-shingled, My mother and I have since heard from several sources that during the 1930s there were problems with bad batches of asphalt roofing shingles being manufactured,
Earlier this year I had a minor roof leak in the half of the roof that was not re-shingled. The contractor who repaired it said that this half of the roof would probably last 3 or 4 more years, I've heard that an asphalt roof could last for 20 years but this was not the case with my house,
I clearly wanted a roof that would last a good long time and wanted an alternative to asphalt shingles. I chose Interlock primarily because it is guaranteed for the life of the house. I also like Interlock for other reasons as well.
The aluminum shingles interlock with each other on all sides. This prevents the shingles from lifting over time a problem that I had with the previous asphalt roof on my house,
I've heard that Interlock roofs are more energy efficient than other roofs. Energy efficiency is important to me and should be to everyone in this day and age and in the future to come.
Finally, another reason that I like Interlock roofing is for safety reasons While installing any roof on a house involves unavoidable safety risks to the roofing installers, because of Interlocks lifetime guarantee no one should have to go up on the roof again once it is installed. During the life of a house this reduces the amount of time that the safety of individuals who work on the roof of the house is at risk. With asphalt roofing on a house that requires replacing ever the years of the house's life there is increased risk of a roofing installer working on the roof of that house getting hurt,
Sincerely,
Michael G. Casey
