Customer Review & Feedback Policy

1. Purpose and Scope

This Customer Review & Feedback Policy establishes the standards, controls, and compliance requirements governing the solicitation, collection, moderation, and publication of customer reviews across all Interlock Roofing of America properties and third-party platforms.

This policy applies to:

• All employees, contractors, and representatives of Interlock Roofing of America
• All customer review collection activities (digital, in-person, or automated)
• All platforms including, but not limited to, Google, Facebook, Trustpilot, and company-owned websites

2. Regulatory Alignment Statement

Interlock Roofing of America follows these U.S. rules and platform policies:

• FTC Rule on the Use of Consumer Reviews and Testimonials (16 CFR Part 465, effective October 21, 2024): no fake or AI-written reviews; no payment or reward for a review with a particular rating; officers, employees, and relatives who post must disclose their relationship; no threats against reviewers; no claim to show all reviews when we show some.
• FTC Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255): testimonials reflect the real experience of the customer quoted; results such as energy savings vary and an unusual result is not presented as typical; any material connection, such as a referral reward, is disclosed beside the testimonial.
• Consumer Review Fairness Act (15 U.S.C. § 45b): no contract or form we use restricts or penalizes an honest review, and we take only a non-exclusive licence to feedback you send us.
• Google Maps User Contributed Content Policy and the policies of any other platform whose reviews we display.

Reviews on this website are a selection from public third-party platforms, unedited except for length; the complete set, including negative reviews, is on the platform linked beside each review.

New York has no statute specific to consumer reviews. In New York our review practices are governed by N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law §§ 349 and 350-a — which, as amended by the FAIR Business Practices Act effective 17 February 2026, prohibit unfair, deceptive or abusive practices and advertising that "fails to reveal facts material" to a claim — and by N.Y. Civil Rights Law §§ 50–51, under which a reviewer's name or likeness appears in our advertising only with written consent. This site currently publishes no customer reviews; any review we later publish will state whether it concerns the Interlock® product or a certified contractor's work.
