As we listened to the news yesterday evening, a report came on pointing out that roof rakes (used to rake snow off house roofs) are sold out, and stores can't keep up with demand.  We had to smile - won't be needing one of those any more!  After twenty years with an asphalt roof, raking and shoveling snow off, chopping the ice built-up along the eaves and worrying about falling - problem solved.  For the first year since we built in 1990, we haven't had to go on the roof.  What a pleasure it is to stand back and watch snow sliding off the roof, leaving bare shingles behind.  Thank you Maritime Permanent Roofing!

We had our Interlock Roofing System installed by Maritime Permanent Roofing in May 2010, and we're sorry we didn't do it years before.  Every step of the process was handled very professionally, from the initial visit and estimate by representative Keshna Spalding, to the installers who were so good at what they do (including explaining each step of the process, answering all our questions, and cleaning up each evening before leaving), to the calls from the project co-ordinater before, during, and after the installation, to the follow-up calls from Keshna after the project was done.  We have nothing but good things to say about each step.

We have had so many positive comments on the appearance of our roof, and even people stopping to ask about it.  As an added bonus, we found the upstairs area stayed cooler this past summer.  Under certain wind conditions our old asphalt roof would leak in the rain - again, we don't have to worry about that any more.  Yes, we could have replaced our roof with another asphalt roof for less money, but we would still be up there removing snow and chopping ice.  If someone fell and perhaps ended in a wheelchair, how do you figure cost on that?  Feel free to give our names / phone number to anyone with questions on this roofing system.  We are very satisfied customers.

Sincerely,
