The certified Interlock® roofing installer for Alberta
Manufactured at 9969 River Way, Delta, BC
GuildQuality GuildMaster Award for service excellence
Better Business Bureau rating
Baeumler Approved
Approved contractor profileBuilt for Mountain View County weather
Didsbury sits in Mountain View County, about halfway between Calgary and Red Deer, with the foothills rising to the west. Summer storms here bring hail and, on July 1, 2023, an EF4 tornado. Winters are long. Here is what an Interlock® aluminum roof does about each, and where its limits are.
Tornado
On July 1, 2023 a tornado formed southwest of Didsbury and tracked 15.3 km east to north of Carstairs. The Northern Tornadoes Project rated it EF4, with winds estimated at 275 km/h, and it destroyed several houses and farm buildings. No roof covering is built for that. What we can say is narrower: Interlock panels lock on four sides with concealed fasteners, and wind resistance is warranted to 193 km/h (120 mph) installed to manufacturer specification.
Hail
Insurance Bureau of Canada puts hail damage in Alberta at about $6 billion over the five years to 2025. Interlock's Slate, Shake, Cedar Shingle and Mediterranean Tile aluminum panels carry a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating, listed by Intertek under Delta Building Products. Large enough hail can still dent metal, and the material warranty excludes hail larger than 38 mm (1.5 in).
Older homes
Didsbury became a town in 1906, and many houses in and around it have had more than one roof. Cedar must come off before an Interlock roof goes on; one layer of asphalt may stay only if the inspection finds it suitable. The panels weigh roughly 2 to 3.5 kg per square metre, so an older frame is not asked to carry tile-like weight.

Foothills
Along the Cowboy Trail the land turns to foothills, with more trees around homes. FireSmart Alberta recommends Class A roofing and advises against wood shakes. Our roofs can be built as Class A Fire Rated Available, as a complete assembly, with two layers of GAF VersaShield® over 12 mm (15/32-inch) plywood. Aluminum does not burn; still, no roof is fireproof.

Snow
Snow lets go of aluminum more easily than of shingles, so snow guards are planned over doors, decks and walkways. Ice dams start when attic heat melts snow that refreezes at the eaves; the material warranty excludes ice damming, so we go over insulation and ventilation with you instead of promising the roof will stop them.
Permits
The Town of Didsbury says IJD Inspections Ltd. handles all Safety Codes Permits for the Town. Carstairs and Cremona are separate municipalities, and Water Valley is in Mountain View County. Whether a re-roof needs a permit depends on the work, so we confirm it for your address before we start.

See this roof 1 photo · Black SlateDidsbury 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 cedar roof, with nothing to rot, split or take on water 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
Didsbury roofing from Interlock Metal Roofing (Alberta) Ltd., the certified Interlock® installer for Alberta. Our Didsbury-area list is short and real: roofs in Didsbury itself, a few in Carstairs to the south, and some west along the Cowboy Trail in Cremona and Water Valley. The panels are made in Canada at the Interlock plant in Delta, BC, and our own crews install them from our office in Calgary. The consultation is on Zoom or at your home.

Why Didsbury homeowners choose aluminum
Installer
Interlock Metal Roofing (Alberta) Ltd. installs every roof itself. The company that inspects and prices your Didsbury roof is the one that installs it and takes the call if anything needs attention later.
Slate
Almost every Didsbury roof in our job book is the Slate profile. Cedar Shingle and Shake are there for a wood look, Mediterranean Tile and Standing Seam for something different, all in nine colours and all needing a slope of at least 3/12.
Outbuildings
On a Mountain View County property the house, garage and shop can all take the same profile and colour. Each building is measured and priced on its own, so you can do them in the same year or spread them out.
Warranties
Interlock Roofing's Guardian Lifetime Limited Material Warranty covers the aluminum and finish while the original purchaser owns the home; it transfers once and excludes workmanship. Our own 10 Year Limited Labour Warranty sits on top, for the installation.
Quote
We look at the roof, the decking where we can see it and the attic, then write one fixed price. Repairs the inspection turns up are in that price, not on a later invoice.
Canadian
Interlock Roofing makes the panels in Delta, BC. We are an Alberta company, Canadian owned and operated, installing them since 1999.
Recycled
And the last tear-off your house is likely to need.
The metallurgy, coatings and test reports are the manufacturer's to explain: interlockroofing.com ↗
Every Interlock® panel we install is manufactured in Canada by Interlock Roofing at its plant at 9969 River Way in Delta, BC.
Interlock Metal Roofing (Alberta) Ltd. was founded in 1999 and is based in Calgary, with one office serving Calgary, Edmonton and the rest of Alberta. Canadian owned and operated for 27 years.
The roof is made in Canada and installed in Alberta by our own company. It never crosses a border on its way to your home.
Upcoming shows
Lift a panel, feel the weight, see every colour in daylight and ask the people who install it. Come find us at a show near you.
We do. Interlock Metal Roofing (Alberta) Ltd., the certified Interlock® roofing contractor for Alberta since 1999, installs every Didsbury roof with its own crews from its office in Calgary. There is no office in Didsbury; consultations are on Zoom or at your home. We are BBB Accredited with an A+ rating, Baeumler Approved, and a 2026 GuildQuality GuildMaster Award winner.
It depends on the work. The Town of Didsbury says IJD Inspections Ltd. handles all Safety Codes Permits for the Town, and that a building permit may be needed where upgrades are required to meet the Alberta Building Code. Carstairs and Cremona have their own offices, and Water Valley is in Mountain View County. We confirm what your roof needs before we start.
No roof covering is designed for an EF4 tornado; the Northern Tornadoes Project estimated its winds at 275 km/h. Our roofs are warranted for wind to 193 km/h (120 mph) installed to manufacturer specification, which covers the strong gusts and summer storms Didsbury sees far more often. For hail, Interlock's Slate, Shake, Cedar Shingle and Mediterranean Tile aluminum panels carry a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating, listed by Intertek under Delta Building Products, but no roof is immune: the material warranty excludes hail larger than 38 mm (1.5 in), and storm damage is a matter for your home insurance.
Didsbury, Carstairs, Cremona and Water Valley. Calgary and the rest of Southern and Central Alberta are on calgarymetalroofing.com, which is the same company, office, crews and warranties.
No. Slate is what most Didsbury homeowners have chosen, but every Interlock® profile is available here: Slate, Cedar Shingle, Shake, Mediterranean Tile and Standing Seam, in nine colours. We bring samples to the consultation.
Our cost page shows real contract prices from Interlock® roofs signed in the Calgary and Southern Alberta market in 2025 and 2026. They are a rough guide only: prices vary from job to job with structural and other conditions, and an in-home roof consultation is required for an accurate price. The consultation and the written quote are free.
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.
