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" />

Review: May 30, 2018 Completion: November 25, 2017

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.

I love my new roof. It looks great and I know the house is in better shape without the heavy deteriorating asphalt shingles. My house is the only one on the block with no snow on the roof, and I can't wait to hear it in the rain

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 Merrifield

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

How does a metal roof handle Minnesota's heavy snow and ice buildup?

Interlock's four-way interlocking aluminum panels shed snow and ice reliably even under Merrifield's average 106 cm of annual snowfall. The smooth, slippery surface naturally encourages snow to slide rather than accumulate, reducing ice dam risk—a real concern in regions experiencing 74 freeze-thaw cycles per year like yours. Optional snow guards let you control slide timing if needed. The lightweight design (Shingle profile at just 0.41 lb/sq ft) means zero structural stress from snow loads, unlike slate or concrete tile.

Will a metal roof crack or deteriorate from freeze-thaw cycling?

No—aluminum physically cannot crack or split under freeze-thaw stress. With about 74 freeze-thaw days annually in Merrifield, this matters. Aluminum's oxide layer actually self-heals when scratched, so repeated temperature swings (your mean sits at 6.4°C) don't degrade it like they do wood shakes, asphalt, or concrete tile. The Alunar PVDF coating, warranted 30 years against chalking and fading per ASTM D4214, maintains its integrity through endless seasonal cycles.

Can aluminum roofing rust or corrode in Minnesota's wet climate?

Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron—the element that oxidizes and corrodes. Your roof experiences about 645 mm of annual rainfall plus snowmelt, creating exactly the damp conditions where steel roofs fail. Interlock uses 3105-H24 and 3003-H24 aluminum alloy (ASTM B209), the same marine-grade material installed on coastal homes exposed to salt air. The Alunar 70% PVDF coating is applied to both sides of every panel, providing extra protection where moisture matters most.

How well does interlocking metal roofing handle Minnesota wind and gusts?

Interlock's four-way interlocking panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph, well above Merrifield's typical gusts of 106 km/h (about 66 mph). The mechanical interlock—not adhesive—means each panel locks to its neighbors, distributing wind load across the entire roof plane instead of stressing individual fasteners. This design excels in regions with frequent wind variation, protecting your home through decades of the kind of seasonal gust patterns common across Wright County.

Does metal roofing hold up to hail, and could it lower my insurance?

Interlock achieves UL 2218 Class 4—the highest impact rating available—and the Guardian Warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. That resilience, combined with non-combustible aluminum (Class A fire rating available), often qualifies for insurance discounts many homeowners don't realize they can claim. With Merrifield's exposure to severe weather across the growing season, having documented impact protection and a lifetime non-prorated warranty gives insurers confidence your roof won't file claims.

Is metal roofing worth the upfront cost compared to asphalt shingles?

Metal roofing is your last roof purchase. Asphalt requires replacement every 15–20 years; you'll tear off and landfill it multiple times over a homeowner's tenure. Interlock's lifetime limited Guardian Warranty—non-prorated for the original owner and transferable for 50 years to the next owner—eliminates that cycle. Across 50 years and multiple asphalt cycles, the math favors aluminum. Factor in no maintenance, no rust risk despite 645 mm annual rainfall, and potential insurance savings, and the per-year cost drops dramatically.

Do I need to reinforce my roof frame for metal roofing?

No structural reinforcement needed. Interlock's Mediterranean Tile profile weighs about 0.59 lb/sq ft—roughly 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile—so it installs safely over most existing roof structures without upgrades. This matters in older homes or those with modest framing. You can even install Interlock over your existing asphalt roof, saving the cost and mess of tear-off. The aluminum alloy (3105-H24 / 3003-H24) provides strength without the deadweight that demands expensive structural modifications.

Who installs Interlock Metal Roofing in Merrifield?

Interlock Metal Roofing has served the Merrifield and Wright County region since 2001, bringing over two decades of local expertise to residential and commercial projects. As the direct manufacturer-installer, we ensure every panel meets ICC-ES ESR-1790 code compliance and our Guardian Warranty standards from the moment installation begins. You work with the company that engineered the product, not a third-party contractor, giving you direct accountability and the peace of mind that comes from local knowledge and continuity.

Can a metal roof actually reduce cooling costs?

Yes—Interlock's energy-efficient colors are Cool Roof Rating Council rated with thermal emissivity up to 0.84 and solar reflectance up to 0.55 (Aged Copper Penny), meaning they reflect heat that asphalt absorbs and radiates into your home. With about 3,125 annual sunshine hours across Merrifield, that reflectance matters season to season. Lighter profiles and reflective finishes reduce heat transfer through the roof deck, lowering air-conditioning demand on hot days and cutting summer utility costs without sacrificing the aesthetic of cedar, slate, or tile.

Is metal roofing actually better for the environment?

Aluminum is approximately 95% recyclable at end of life, whereas asphalt shingles end up in landfills by the millions of tons annually. Over a typical homeowner's 50+ years in a house, you'll dispose of two to three complete asphalt roofs—generating waste that never decomposes. Interlock's single aluminum roof serves your lifetime and the next owner's 50-year warranty period, breaking that tear-off-and-dump cycle entirely. CALGreen verification and recyclability align with homes built to modern environmental standards.
