The Interlock® Lifetime Roofing System installer for British Columbia
Manufactured at 9969 River Way, Delta, BC
GuildQuality GuildMaster Award for service excellence
Better Business Bureau rating
Baeumler Approved
Approved contractor profileBuilt for British Columbia
BC is a coastline, a rainforest, a snow belt and a fire zone, sometimes on the same drive. Here is what an Interlock® aluminum roof does about each.
Salt air
There is no iron in aluminum, so there is nothing to rust. It forms its own thin oxide layer, which re-forms if the surface is scratched. That is why it is the metal for oceanfront homes, island cabins and anywhere the wind carries salt.
Wildfire
Under ASTM E108 a fire classification belongs to an assembly, not a panel. On our roofs Class A is achieved with two layers of GAF VersaShield® over 12 mm (15/32-inch) plywood, and the aluminum itself does not ignite. Ask us to quote the assembly if your home backs onto forest or grassland.
Reflectance
Most Alunar® colours are rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC), which publishes each colour's solar reflectance (0.25 to 0.44 when new) and thermal emittance (0.83 to 0.86). Lighter and metallic colours reflect more. The Alunar® finish is warranted for 30 years.
Energy
Lighter colours absorb less summer sun than dark ones. What that saves depends on climate, colour, insulation and attic ventilation, so we don't quote a figure.
Solar
A solar array lasts 25 to 30 years. Put it on an asphalt roof and the panels often have to come off and go back on when the roof wears out underneath them. On an Interlock roof they come off at the end of their own life, not the roof's. Standing Seam takes clamp mounts with no holes drilled; the other profiles use mounting hardware made for metal roofing. At roughly 2 to 3.5 kg per square metre the roof leaves more of the structure's capacity for the array, and your solar installer confirms the framing.
Wind
Interlock panels lock to each other on all four sides, with no exposed fastener for a storm to work at. Wind resistance is warranted to 193 km/h (120 mph) installed to manufacturer specification.
Coastline: Province of British Columbia, Coastal Marine Strategy ↗ gives "more than 26,000 kilometres"; federal mapping gives 25,725 km. Product figures are the manufacturer's: interlockroofing.com ↗
Homes and beyond
The same interlocking aluminum system goes on a family home, a strata complex or a church. We install it across British Columbia on:
Antarctica · U.S. National Science Foundation
Interlock® standing seam roofing and Black Diamond siding on six SPOT modules that travel between McMurdo Station and the South Pole, in −51 °C and winds up to 161 km/h. More than 32,000 completed Interlock® roofs across Canada and the USA, and these at the bottom of the world.

Gibsons metal roofing profiles: slate, cedar shingle, shake, Mediterranean tile, standing seam & solid copper
The look belongs to your home. The performance belongs to the metal. Every profile needs a minimum 3/12 roof slope.
A composed silhouette
The formal character of slate at a fraction of the weight, in aluminum that cannot rust.
Familiar warmth
The look of a West Coast cedar roof, with nothing to rot, split or grow moss in the grain.
Deep shadow lines
Hand-split texture and depth: the usual replacement when a cedar shake roof has had its last re-treatment.
Sculpted, not heavy
The barrel-tile silhouette without the weight of concrete or clay.
Clean lines
Clean vertical lines for a modern home or a cabin, in the same aluminum.
A living metal
Copper weathers over time. Usually a bay, a porch or a turret rather than a whole house.
Where we've worked
We install the Interlock® aluminum roofing system in Lower Gibsons by the harbour, in Upper Gibsons along Highway 101, and up the coast in Roberts Creek. Our own crews bring every panel across from the Interlock plant in Delta, BC, where it is made in Canada.
Completed Interlock® roofs by community, from our job book. Every other part of BC has its own local site: same company, same crews, same warranty.
These are the regions we currently serve. Not sure which one your address falls in? Ask us.

Why aluminum roofing, for Gibsons
Ferry
Gibsons has no road link to the mainland; the BC Ferries run from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale is the way in. We plan each job around it: materials, crew and equipment come over together, so the old roof is not torn off until everything needed to close it in is on site.
Rain
The Gibsons station averaged 1,370.8 mm of precipitation a year in the 1981–2010 climate normals. Aluminum absorbs no water, so there is no cedar to split and no granules for moss to hold. The concealed fasteners stay out of the rain.
Salt air
Homes in Lower Gibsons look over the marina, and Roberts Creek sits along the beaches. Steel roofing depends on its coating near salt water; aluminum contains no iron, so it cannot rust, and it forms its own protective oxide layer.
Forest
The SCRD's 2021 Community Wildfire Protection Plan notes the Roberts Creek plan sets a goal of reducing fire potential in interface areas, and projects about 16% less summer rain by the 2050s. Class A Fire Rated Available, as a complete assembly, on our roofs. Aluminum does not ignite; embers still reach gutters, so keep them clear.
Recycled
And the last tear-off your house is likely to need.

Every Interlock® panel we install is manufactured by Interlock Roofing at 9969 River Way in Delta, the same address as our office.
Interlock Metal Roofing (BC) Ltd. was founded on July 6, 1983 and is headquartered in Delta. Canadian owned and operated for 43 years.
The finished roof is made in BC and installed in BC. It never crosses a border on its way to your home.
Straight answers
The Town of Gibsons, Lower Gibsons and Upper Gibsons, and Roberts Creek in SCRD Electoral Area D. Sechelt and the rest of the Sunshine Coast, up to Powell River, are covered at sunshinecoastroofing.com. Same company, same crews.
Yes. Interlock® Slate, Interlock® Cedar Shingle, Interlock® Shake and Interlock® Mediterranean Tile are interlocking aluminum shingles and panels; we also install Interlock® Standing Seam and solid copper. The minimum roof slope is 3/12. We replace whole roofs and don't install asphalt.
Gibsons averaged 1,370.8 mm of precipitation a year at the Gibsons station (1981–2010 normals), and much of the town faces the water. Aluminum cannot rust because it has no iron in it, and it cannot rot. Under tall firs, gutters still fill with needles, so we tell you what to clear.
The Town of Gibsons Building Permit Guide (March 2025) lists "roof re-shingling and window replacement (no window enlargements)" under work that is exempt, while structural repairs still need a permit. Roberts Creek is under the Sunshine Coast Regional District's building department. We check what applies to your address before booking.
Our metal roof cost page gives price ranges from our BC contracts, profile by profile. Prices vary job to job with the structure of the roof and other conditions, so treat them as a rough guide only. An accurate price needs a roof consultation, on Zoom or in your home.
Best Roof® is a registered trademark of I.E.L. Manufacturing Ltd. and the name of the Interlock® aluminum roof in Canada. "Gibsons' Best Roof®" means that same roof, installed in Gibsons by our BC crews. It is a brand name, not a ranking.
Free, no obligation
A free consultation on Zoom or at your home: we go through profiles and colours with you, measure the roof, and give you a fixed price in writing. No pressure, and an honest date for the install.
