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 Glen Cary

The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Glen Cary, 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 Glen Cary.

How does a metal roof handle Minnesota's snow load and ice dams?

Interlock's four-way interlocking aluminum panels shed snow and ice safely without the ice-dam buildup that traps water under asphalt shingles. Glen Cary receives about 92 cm of snow annually, and metal's smooth surface naturally slides snow off before it accumulates into a dam. The panels are warranted to 120 mph wind speeds, so the weight of wet snow won't stress them—and at just 0.41 lb/sq ft for the Shingle profile, they're light enough to install over your existing roof without structural reinforcement. Your gutters and drainage handle the melt predictably instead of fighting ice backup.

Will freeze-thaw cycles in Glen Cary damage an aluminum metal roof?

No. Aluminum's oxide layer actually heals itself when exposed to freeze-thaw stress, so it won't crack, split, or curl the way asphalt and wood do through Minnesota's 83 annual freeze-thaw days. The material contains no iron, so rust cannot start—the enemy of durability in cold climates. Interlock's roofing-grade 3105-H24 / 3003-H24 aluminum alloy (ASTM B209) and Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish (both sides) are rated for 30 years against chalking and fading in climates far harsher than Glen Cary's 7.8°C mean temperature. You're buying a roof that survives the thaw cycle, not one that deteriorates through it.

Why should I choose aluminum roofing instead of steel to avoid rust?

Steel rusts because it contains iron; aluminum doesn't contain iron at all, so rusting is physically impossible. When aluminum's surface is scratched—by hail, branches, or foot traffic—the oxide layer self-heals, sealing the bare metal from moisture. Over Glen Cary's 778 mm of annual rainfall and freeze-thaw cycling, steel will eventually pit and fail; aluminum just keeps shielding itself. That's why Interlock's Guardian Warranty covers rusting for the lifetime of your ownership and transfers 50 years to the next owner. In a climate where moisture and cold temperature swings are constant, aluminum's chemistry simply outperforms ferrous metals.

Will a metal roof help me with hail damage claims or insurance costs?

Interlock meets UL 2218 Class 4—the highest hail impact rating available—and the warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Class 4 means the roof has been impact-tested to retain its structural integrity and water-shedding performance after the strike. Insurance companies recognize this resilience; many homeowners see premium reductions or faster claims processing because metal roofs don't require replacement after a hail event the way asphalt does. Glen Cary's typical wind gusts reach 100 km/h, and hail often comes with severe storms—a roof that doesn't get punctured or lose functionality saves you thousands in repairs and hassle.

Can an aluminum metal roof survive Glen Cary's wind and gusts?

Yes, the four-way interlocking design locks each panel to its neighbors in all directions, and Interlock warrants the system to resist sustained winds up to 120 mph when installed to spec. Glen Cary's typical gusts reach 100 km/h (62 mph), well within that threshold. The interlocking profile means no individual panel will lift or flap; the entire roof acts as one integrated structure. That engineered redundancy is why metal roofs routinely survive storms that strip asphalt shingles. Your roof stays intact during the worst spring and fall windstorms the region throws at it, protecting not just the covering but the decking and home interior underneath.

Do I need to reinforce my home's structure for a metal roof?

The Interlock Mediterranean Tile profile is about 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile, weighing only 0.59 lb/sq ft—so light that it installs directly over most existing asphalt roofs without any structural reinforcement or costly framing upgrades. Traditional slate or tile roofing requires expensive rework of trusses and joists; aluminum Interlock doesn't. Glen Cary homeowners can achieve the visual depth and architectural character of genuine tile without hiring structural engineers or contractors to reinforce the house. That savings in labor and materials often pays for the upgrade to metal in the first place, and you avoid the weight penalty altogether.

How much maintenance does a metal roof really need?

Far less than asphalt, wood, or tile. Interlock is CALGreen-verified for reduced maintenance; the smooth aluminum surface sheds debris, doesn't retain moisture, won't split or curl, and doesn't attract moss or algae the way porous materials do. Over Glen Cary's ~3,113 annual sunshine hours and 92 cm of snow, you're not scrubbing, sealing, or replacing individual shingles every few years. The Alunar finish doesn't chalk or fade noticeably (warranted 30 years against both), so you don't need protective coatings. A couple of gutter cleanings a year and the occasional hose-down of debris is all most homeowners do. It's the roof that stops demanding your time.

What does the warranty actually cover and for how long?

The Guardian Warranty is a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for you as the original owner—covering rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance. It's transferable once, giving the next owner 50 years from completion, which is rare in the roofing world and signals genuine confidence in durability. Unlike prorated warranties that shrink your coverage each year, this one stands full-strength for your entire ownership. When you sell, that remaining 50-year term transfers to the buyer, increasing your home's appeal. You're not just buying a roof; you're buying a decades-long guarantee that your investment is protected.

Is a metal roof worth the higher cost compared to asphalt shingles?

Upfront, metal costs more than asphalt, but the math flips when you measure the full roof lifecycle. Asphalt typically lasts 15–20 years and requires tear-off, disposal, and complete replacement; Interlock lasts your lifetime (literally, under warranty) and your next owner's 50 years. Over 40–50 years, you pay for asphalt 2–3 times; you pay for Interlock once. Factor in no maintenance costs, no reroofing labor, no snow-dam water damage repairs, and the energy savings from energy-efficient colors (up to 0.55 solar reflectance), and Interlock becomes the cheaper roof in year 25. It's the roof you never buy again—the last roof you install.

Will a metal roof actually lower my cooling costs in Minnesota?

energy-efficient Interlock colors reflect heat that asphalt absorbs, lowering your air-conditioning load on hot days. The Aged Copper Penny finish has an initial solar reflectance up to 0.55 and thermal emissivity of 0.84, as rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council. Glen Cary averages 7.8°C year-round, so cooling savings are modest compared to southern climates, but they compound over years. More importantly, reflective metal doesn't trap heat in your attic the way dark asphalt does, reducing summer heat buildup that stresses shingles and shortens their life. You won't see a shocking difference on your AC bill, but you'll notice your home stays cooler longer on the 100+ days Glen Cary has annual sunshine, and your asphalt-thin cooling costs aren't working against a heat-absorbing black roof.
