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 Richmond

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

How does a metal roof handle Richmond's heavy snow and freeze-thaw cycles?

Interlock aluminum panels shed snow efficiently because their smooth, interlocking design prevents ice dams—the root cause of winter damage in Minnesota. With about 97 cm of snow annually and roughly 78 freeze-thaw days per year, your roof faces constant expansion and contraction. Aluminum's non-corrosive nature means repeated freezing and thawing won't degrade the material; the oxide layer that protects it simply heals itself when stressed. Unlike asphalt shingles, which become brittle in cold, or wood shakes, which split, roofing-grade 3105-H24 aluminum flexes with thermal cycling without loss of structural integrity.

Why won't an Interlock aluminum roof rust like a steel metal roof?

Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron—the element that oxidizes in steel. Instead, aluminum forms a thin, self-healing oxide layer that actually protects the underlying metal. When the surface scratches, this protective layer reforms automatically. Steel roofs, by contrast, require ongoing maintenance and eventually corrode. Interlock panels use roofing-grade 3105-H24 and 3003-H24 aluminum alloy and are coated with Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish on both sides, extending protection even further and warranted for 30 years against fading and chalking—critical in a region receiving about 3,164 annual sunshine hours.

Can Interlock metal roofing withstand Richmond's wind gusts?

Yes. Interlock's four-way interlocking panels create a unified system warranted to resist winds up to 120 mph—far exceeding Le Sueur County's typical gust speeds of about 107 km/h (66 mph). The interlocking mechanism distributes wind load across the entire roof rather than concentrating stress on fasteners, which is why individual panels cannot be lifted or separated by wind pressure. This engineering also means the roof performs consistently whether gusts strike from the north or west, a real advantage in Minnesota's variable storm patterns.

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

No structural reinforcement is necessary. Interlock metal roofing is extraordinarily light—the Mediterranean Tile profile, for instance, weighs about 0.59 lb/sq ft, making it roughly 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile. Even the heavier Shake profile at about 0.58 lb/sq ft creates negligible additional load. This lightweight design allows installation over most existing roofs without adding stress to framing or foundation, saving thousands in structural work. The same durability and 30-year coating warranty apply whether you're installing over an old asphalt roof or bare decking.

What hail protection does Interlock roofing offer, and could it lower my insurance?

Interlock panels carry UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the Guardian Warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. With Richmond's exposure to severe weather, this non-prorated lifetime limited warranty for the original owner provides peace of mind most asphalt roofs cannot match. Many insurers recognize Class 4 impact performance and offer premium discounts for roofs meeting this standard. Because aluminum's impact resistance doesn't degrade over time (unlike asphalt's), your coverage advantage grows year after year.

What does the Interlock warranty actually cover?

The Guardian Warranty is a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for the original owner, covering rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance—conditions that plague asphalt, wood, and traditional tile roofs. It's also one-time transferable to the next owner with a 50-year coverage term from completion date. Because Interlock aluminum cannot rust and has no grain to split, and because the Alunar coating is warranted for 30 years against fading, the warranty reflects the product's actual lifespan. This is the last roof you buy, not a temporary solution.

How much maintenance does a metal roof require in Minnesota?

Interlock aluminum roofing requires far less maintenance than asphalt shingles, wood shakes, or clay tiles. Rainwater (about 641 mm annually) and snowmelt naturally clean the smooth aluminum surface; the Alunar coating resists algae and moss growth that plague shingles in humid climates. No seasonal inspections, no re-sealing, no granule replacement, and no wood treatment are needed. The ICC-ES evaluation report ESR-1790 documents Interlock's CALGreen-verified status for reduced maintenance. A simple rinse after heavy snow or storm debris is all that's typically required, making it ideal for homeowners who want a roof that simply works for decades without attention.

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

Over the roof's 50+ year lifespan, Interlock outperforms asphalt shingles economically. Asphalt requires complete replacement every 15–20 years, generating repeated labor costs and landfill waste. Interlock's lifetime limited warranty and non-prorated coverage mean no major expenses after installation. When you factor in a single replacement cycle plus maintenance, insurance savings from Class 4 hail rating, energy efficiency from energy-efficient colors (up to 0.55 solar reflectance), and the one-time transferable warranty that adds resale value, the total cost of ownership heavily favors aluminum. It's genuinely the last roof you'll install.

How is aluminum roofing better for the environment than asphalt shingles?

Interlock aluminum is approximately 95% recyclable at end-of-life, whereas asphalt shingles are tear-off waste destined for landfills. Manufactured since 1998 in Delta, BC, Interlock panels end the asphalt replacement cycle entirely. Over 50 years, a typical home might otherwise dispose of three asphalt roofs; with Interlock, zero landfill contribution. Roofing-grade 3105-H24 and 3003-H24 aluminum alloy is inherently durable—it doesn't degrade chemically, so recycling yields virgin-quality material. published solar-reflectance listing for select colors also means reduced cooling load year-round, lowering your home's carbon footprint across its lifetime.

Is Interlock metal roofing fire-safe for my home?

Yes. Interlock aluminum is non-combustible and carries Class A fire classification, the highest rating available. Because aluminum contains no organic material and will not burn, flames cannot spread across the roof surface even in extreme wildfires. This performance is verified in the ICC-ES evaluation report ESR-1790 (IBC/IRC, reissued 2025), which governs residential construction in Minnesota. Beyond safety, some homeowners find that Class A fire rating reduces insurance premiums and provides compliance with local fire codes. Aluminum's non-combustibility is inherent to the material—it never degrades and requires no special maintenance to preserve.
