Review: August 20, 2024 Completion: August 13, 2024

From the start to finish, we loved their work and communication. There were no nails, metal bits, or excessive noise. They listened to all questions and addressed our concerns. They were careful to make no promise of a start date that they could not fulfill. The rain this year made it hard to predict! I would do a commercial for them free to endorse their work and product!

Review: June 2, 2023 Completion: May 15, 2023

Hi Peter, we wanted to convey to you how much we love our new Interlock roof! Several of our neighbors and friends have said they do, too! We love the look of it, and are so impressed with how beautifully finished it is integrated into the flashing materials. The Interlock scheduling staff was great to work with, and we are so happy with Jessie and his Interlock installation team. They are true craftsmen, and part artists! We loved how they treated our home with respect, and were always willing to address any questions we had. We watched as they worked on items until they had them just right; when we asked about some areas of concern multiple members of the installation team converged on the item and came down to explain and even illustrate with photographs how it was addressed. Again, we couldn't be happier and are enjoying our Interlock roof!

Review: September 15, 2020 Completion: June 21, 2019

To: Peter Brylinke My Interlock Shake style system was installed in June of 2019. We have now had it for an entire year and experienced the roof through all season, climate and weather conditions. Not only do we value the new look of our roof but the performance of the new roof has been exceptional. In the winter we have seen the snow pile up on it only to slide off as soon as the sun warms it enough. We have noticed a difference in the summers also with a cooler house. The roof has met all of our expectations and we are extremely happy with our decision to install this roof. Last summer when the workers were working on the roof, we were so pleased with the time and effort the workmen put into making sure all aspects of our roof were taken care of. They were courteous, hard working, respectful and considerate of our needs as homeowners. Carlos was instrumental in making sure that we were happy with every aspect of the work that was being done. In closing, we are very impressed with our roof and have recommended this same system to many people we know and many people who just " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">walk by and ask about it. We feel that we have made a great decision in putting this system on our home. ">" alt="Minneapolis MN 55409 Interlock Roof" width="2560" height="1920" />

Dear Peter, Thank you for your help with the installation and warranty transfer of our interlock roof. We have since sold our house and had good feedback about our roof from potential buyers. Neighbors loved our new roof and we had people drive by and actually snap pictures of it! You were right that the new roof would help sell our home! Thanks for all your help!

Review: November 4, 2016 Completion: September 30, 2015

Dear Peter, I had Interlock Roofing install my black slate roof in the fall one year ago, and I couldn’t be happier! My roof still looks like new, and really stands out in my neighborhood. My old asphalt shingle roof was leaking. I had to shovel it every time it snowed because of " title="ice dams" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">ice dams in my older 1950’s house. I have had no issues at all with my new Interlock roof. It was so nice only to have to shovel my driveway this winter and not worry about snow on the roof. It all just slid off in only a few days after each snowfall. Also, the team that you had out to install my roof was exceptional. I was very impressed with the quality of the team that installed my roof. They were all very polite and worked well together as a team. They worked very hard, and got the job done, and completed in less than three days. I’ve never had to have anyone come back to fix or touch anything up. Thank you for the great job the Interlock team did to replace my roof. I would recommend Interlock to anyone needing a new roof without hesitation!

Review: May 6, 2016 Completion: November 21, 2013

Dear Peter, We remain delighted with our new Interlock roof. It’s now been through 2 Minnesota winters, a hailstorm, and several rain deluges and is still the top-notch performer that you said it would be. Thank you for your and Interlock’s integrity throughout the sale, installation, and service of our roofing project. We remain convinced that Interlock is indeed “the Midwest’s Best Roof”.

Review: May 6, 2016 Completion: April 15, 2014

Dear Peter, I Wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my new Interlock roof. It looks terrific, and I am anticipating that I will never have to roof rake my roof again now that your product has been installed. My house is small, a 3-bedroom rambler, but the visual impact the Interlock roof has added makes it look like a castle! All of the contact I have had with your personnel, from yourself to the lead foreman on the job and the men doing the install was pleasant and professional. The cleanup after the job was done was great and it only took 1-1/2 days for a complete tear-off to complete the installation. Please use this letter as a personal recommendation for your company and your product.

Review: April 27, 2016 Completion: June 20, 2015

Dear Peter, Installing the Interlock roof on our home has completely transformed and improved our home’s appearance. The installation of the roof along with the greatly improved flashings have made a great difference. Because of that, our stucco was able to match our home so we look like new. An improvement I didn’t expect was the change in temperature of our second floor. Usually unbearable " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">hot on a 90-degree day. It’s now 10-15 degree cooler and livable. We also received a sizeable discount on our homeowners’ insurance because of the roof’s resistance to fire. We’re sure that having to “Never roof again” will help us sell our house should that be necessary. Thank you from two satisfied customers.

Review: January 28, 2016 Completion: December 28, 2015

My Interlock ">Shake Style Roof in Aged Copper color was installed between December 21st and December 31st. Snow has covered most of the house and garage since it was installed, so I haven’t been able to enjoy the new look yet, but during the installation and before the snow it was obvious it I going to look great. I am glad I had them put Interlock ">Shakes on my 8ft x 16ft hip-roofed storage shed as well. There are a lot of huge oak trees close to my house and they had caused the heavy cedar hand-split shakes to deteriorate from moss growing on them. I knew I needed a roof that would not have this problem in the future. I am a retired mechanical engineer and had built the house and garage myself. I studied the specs on steel, stone coated steel and several aluminum style shakes, before finally settling on the Interlock product. I believe it will prove to be a good choice. I was very impressed with the quality and design of all the types of flashings, ridge vent, and fasteners that were expertly installed. I truly expect this roof to last and look great for generations. I was also very impressed with the crew who did the work under Juan and Carlos’ direction. They worked tirelessly in some difficult weather conditions and short daylight hours. A number of minor changes were made on the fly with gutters, snow guards and roof penetrations and they were all executed precisely. They were very careful in making sure the roofs were protected overnight, on weekends and during the Christmas holiday. They did a great job of cleaning up the difficult mess made removing the decayed shakes. I guess I won’t know for sure if there are any problems until we get some heavy rains in the spring and summer, but as of now, I would be happy to show the roof and talk to any prospective clients that are considering the Interlock product.

Review: May 21, 2012 Completion: June 30, 2007

Dear Interlock Roofing, We are writing to share with you our experience with you, your employees, and the new roof. We built a brand new home and moved in January 1997. Within a few years, we were experiencing shingles that were curling and being removed by the wind. By the summer of 2007, it was imperative that we re-roof our home. Fortunately, we saw an ad in the local paper for your product. Below are just a few of the benefits we appreciate with the aluminum interlocking roofing shingles: The service and attention to our roofing project by Scott Bohnen from signing the contract to follow-up after the installation. The fact that the workforce followed safety procedures by wearing safety gear (we have a steep roof). Daily attention to our project until it was completed, about one week in total. Aesthetically pleasing roof, with numerous comments by friends and neighbors and those just passing by. EXCELLENT CURB APPEAL! The roof is quieter during rain storms than with regular asphalt shingles. We often have to verify that it is raining by visually looking or going outside. The roof reflects light so that we have experienced reduced air conditioning costs in the summer. In the winter, the heating bill is reduced as well and that may be in part to the aluminum shingle along with the polypropylene lining between the old and new shingles. No matter the reason, our heating and cooling bills are reduced. The fact that the roof is aluminum and it can be recycled at the end of its life expectancy. The 50-year, one time transferable, warranty. We could go on and on but we are very pleased with our roof and thankful that we will never have to re-roof again. Thank you.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Genoa Township

The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Genoa Township, Minnesota. Whether you are building a new home or replacing an existing roof, understanding how roofing materials perform in local weather conditions is essential. From wind and storm protection to fire resistance, hail impact, snow loads, and coastal moisture exposure, Interlock’s Lifetime Aluminum Roofing System is engineered to provide long-term durability, energy efficiency, and peace of mind in Genoa Township.

Does metal roofing handle Minnesota snow loads and ice dams?

Yes—Interlock's four-way interlocking aluminum panels are engineered to shed snow and resist ice buildup without failing. Genoa Township receives about 85 cm of snow annually, and the lightweight design (Slate installs at just 0.41 lb/sq ft) means no structural reinforcement is needed, yet the panels warrant 120 mph wind resistance even when loaded. The smooth, sloped profiles promote drainage and prevent ponding, and optional snow guards are available if you want to manage drifting. Unlike asphalt, which becomes brittle in repeated thaw cycles, aluminum's oxide coating remains flexible across your region's 83 annual freeze-thaw days, protecting the underlying alloy from degradation.

Will my metal roof crack or fail from Genoa Township's freeze-thaw cycles?

Aluminum roofing won't crack or degrade from freeze-thaw stress the way asphalt, wood, or traditional tile can. Your area experiences about 83 freeze-thaw days per year—a genuine test—yet roofing-grade 3105-H24 aluminum alloy expands and contracts uniformly without developing the micro-fractures that compromise brittle materials. The Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish is bonded to both sides of every panel, creating a barrier that heals its own oxide layer if scratched during snow removal or service. The Guardian warranty covers cracking, splitting, and curling for the original owner's lifetime, giving you certainty through every seasonal cycle.

Can a metal roof rust in a snowy, wet climate?

Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron. Unlike steel roofing, which oxidizes into rust that weakens the material and stains your siding, your Interlock roof undergoes controlled oxidation that creates a self-healing protective layer on the alloy surface. This is why Interlock panels have been installed successfully from coastal salt-air environments to Antarctic research stations since 1998. In Genoa Township, with about 819 mm of annual rainfall and seasonal moisture cycling, the two-sided Alunar 70% PVDF coating (warranted 30 years against chalking and fading) adds a durable shield. Even if snow removal or a branch scratch the surface, the aluminum's oxide naturally re-forms, stopping corrosion at the source.

Do I need to reinforce my house for a metal roof?

No structural reinforcement is necessary. The Mediterranean Tile profile, which visually mimics heavy clay or concrete tile, weighs only about 0.59 lb/sq ft—roughly 96% lighter than the real thing. Because Interlock uses roofing-grade aluminum alloy (ASTM B209), even a full-coverage Shake profile (0.58 lb/sq ft) imposes a fraction of the load that traditional materials demand. This matters in Genoa Township, where heavy snow accumulation (about 85 cm annually) and sustained wind gusts up to 104 km/h create real structural stress. A metal roof actually reduces that stress, and installs directly over most existing asphalt without tearoff—saving labor, time, and landfill impact while maintaining your home's integrity.

Will a metal roof blow off in Minnesota windstorms?

No. Interlock panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to specification, and they achieve this through four-way mechanical interlocking—not adhesive alone. Genoa Township's typical wind gusts reach about 104 km/h, well within safe limits. The ICC-ES evaluation report ESR-1790 (reissued 2025 for IBC/IRC compliance) documents this rating, and the four interlocking edges mean each panel is mechanically held by its neighbors, creating a unified envelope that distributes wind load across the entire roof system. The Guardian warranty explicitly covers wind-driven damage, so you're protected during spring storms and the occasional stronger gust that can stress asphalt or wood shingles.

What happens if hail damages my metal roof?

Interlock's aluminum panels carry a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Class 4 rating means the roof has been tested to withstand repeated impacts without loss of impact resistance, so a single hailstorm won't compromise your roof's durability. Many insurance companies recognize this durability and may offer discounts on premiums because claims are rare. The two-sided Alunar 70% PVDF coating protects against cosmetic pitting and maintains the finish appearance over the 30-year coating warranty period. In Genoa Township, where hail risk exists but is not extreme, this impact resilience provides peace of mind and genuine savings compared to materials that dent easily or require costly repairs after storms.

Will a metal roof keep my house cooler in summer?

Yes. Select energy-efficient Interlock colors reflect rather than absorb heat, lowering cooling costs in warm months. The thermal emissivity rating is 0.84, and certain colors (like Aged Copper Penny) reach initial solar reflectance up to 0.55—meaning they bounce back more of the sun's energy than asphalt shingles, which absorb it and transfer heat into your attic and living space. Genoa Township receives about 2,972 sunshine hours per year, making this reflectivity meaningful even in a northern climate. The Cool Roof Rating Council verification confirms this effect. When paired with proper ventilation, reflective metal roofing reduces the burden on your air conditioning system during summer peaks, offsetting the lower heating demands of a metal roof in winter. Over a 50-year lifespan, this efficiency compounds into significant utility savings.

How much maintenance does a metal roof really need?

Substantially less than asphalt, wood, or tile. Interlock aluminum roofing requires no seasonal treatment, does not degrade from UV exposure, and won't split, curl, rot, or crack—eliminating the repairs that consume homeowner time and money. A simple annual inspection and occasional debris clearing (leaves, pine needles) are sufficient. Because the panels are smooth and non-porous, they shed water, ice, and dirt without accumulating the moss, algae, or mineral staining that plague traditional materials in wet climates like Genoa Township (819 mm rainfall annually). The Alunar fluorocarbon finish is CALGreen-verified for reduced maintenance. Your time is better spent elsewhere, and your roof quietly does its job through 83 freeze-thaw cycles, 85 cm of snow, and years of wind and rain without demanding attention.

What's the real lifespan of an Interlock metal roof?

The Guardian warranty guarantees a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for the original owner—covering rust, rot, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance. This is not a pro-rated deal that shrinks year by year; it is a full-value guarantee for your ownership. The warranty transfers once to the next owner for 50 years from completion, strengthening your home's resale appeal. Aluminum doesn't degrade like asphalt (which hardens and cracks in freeze-thaw cycles), wood (which splits and rots), or concrete tile (which spalls and breaks). Many Interlock installations from the 1990s remain in service without major replacement, and the material's track record spans coastal salt-air homes to Antarctic research stations since 1998. In Genoa Township's seasonal climate, you're looking at a permanent roof solution—the last one you'll ever buy.

Is a metal roof worth the upfront cost compared to asphalt?

Yes—over the roof's full lifespan. Asphalt typically lasts 15–25 years and requires tear-off, landfill disposal, and reinstallation multiple times in 50 years. Each cycle costs labor, material, and environmental impact. Interlock installs over most existing roofs, eliminating tear-off costs on your first installation. The lifetime non-prorated warranty and proven durability mean you won't replace it—you'll maintain it. The Alunar 30-year coating warranty and aluminum's inherent corrosion-free properties virtually guarantee performance through Genoa Township's 83 annual freeze-thaw days, 85 cm snow, and 819 mm rainfall. When you calculate material + labor + disposal + replacement cycles over 50 years, a permanent metal roof typically costs less than multiple asphalt roofs, plus it's 95% recyclable at end-of-life, avoiding landfill fees and future tear-off hassles.
