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 St. Cloud Heights

The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in St. Cloud Heights, 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 St. Cloud Heights.

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

Metal roofing sheds snow and ice far more effectively than asphalt because the smooth, hard surface prevents bonding. St. Cloud Heights receives about 96 cm of snow annually, and freeze-thaw cycling happens roughly 83 days per year—conditions that accelerate asphalt degradation. Interlock's four-way interlocking aluminum panels are designed to allow snow to slide safely when sun exposure begins melting, and the lightweight design means the structural load is minimal even when snow accumulates. Optional snow guards can be installed at roof edges to control slide timing and protect walkways below.

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

No. Aluminum naturally resists freeze-thaw damage because it has no moisture absorption and expands minimally during temperature swings. The self-healing oxide layer that forms on bare aluminum (and is protected by the Alunar 70% PVDF coating on both panel sides) does not degrade from repeated freezing and thawing. With St. Cloud Heights averaging 83 freeze-thaw days per year and about 120 cm of annual snow, traditional materials like asphalt and wood shake crack and split under this stress, but roofing-grade 3105-H24 aluminum alloy simply flexes and returns to its original shape for decades.

Why don't aluminum metal roofs rust like steel roofs do?

Aluminum metal roofs cannot rust because aluminum contains no iron—it's physically impossible. While steel roofing corrodes in Minnesota's variable humidity and snow melt, Interlock aluminum develops a transparent, self-healing oxide layer that protects the surface even if scratched. The Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish on both sides provides a second barrier, and the 30-year coating warranty against chalking and fading ensures long-term appearance retention. This dual-protection system is why Interlock roofs perform from coastal salt-air homes to Antarctic research stations—corrosion simply cannot occur.

Can an aluminum metal roof withstand Minnesota wind gusts?

Yes, without hesitation. St. Cloud Heights experiences typical wind gusts around 108 km/h, well within the capability of Interlock metal roofing. The system is warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to specification, thanks to the four-way interlocking panel design that locks adjoining panels together and resists uplift. This engineering means your roof stays secure even during the strongest spring and fall storms Minnesota can produce, and the warranty coverage gives you peace of mind that the installation meets or exceeds code requirements for the region.

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

No structural reinforcement is needed. Interlock's aluminum roofing is extraordinarily light—the Mediterranean Tile profile, which replicates heavy clay or concrete tile, weighs about 0.59 lb/sq ft and is approximately 96% lighter than the real thing. This means you can install it over most existing roofs without adding load-bearing stress to walls or foundation. The lightweight advantage becomes clear when comparing options: traditional tile requires expensive structural engineering and sometimes complete framing upgrades, but Interlock delivers the look without the burden, making retrofit installations simpler and more affordable.

What hail protection does an aluminum metal roof offer?

Interlock metal roofing carries a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the Guardian Warranty covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Class 4 rating means it withstands the most severe hail events tested, providing genuine peace of mind during Minnesota's spring and summer storm seasons. Many homeowners find that this proven durability and documented impact resistance qualify them for insurance premium reductions. The warranty's explicit perforation coverage means you're protected against the one failure mode that concerns hail-prone regions, without relying on cosmetic damage coverage or deductible claims.

How long does an Interlock metal roof last, and what does the warranty cover?

Interlock metal roofs routinely outlast 50+ years, backed by the Guardian Warranty: a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for you (the original owner) that covers rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance. The warranty is transferable once, giving the next owner 50 years of coverage from completion—a rare benefit that protects your resale value. Compare this to asphalt roofs lasting 15–25 years with prorated coverage: you're buying your last roof. The combination of corrosion-proof aluminum, the 30-year Alunar coating warranty, and the non-prorated Guardian Warranty means genuine long-term security.

Can an aluminum metal roof reduce cooling costs in Minnesota summers?

Yes. Interlock's energy-efficient colors achieve thermal emissivity of 0.84 and initial solar reflectance up to 0.55 (Aged Copper Penny), meaning they reflect heat rather than absorbing it the way dark asphalt does. With St. Cloud Heights receiving about 3,127 sunshine hours per year, a reflective metal roof noticeably reduces the heat load on your attic and living spaces during summer months, lowering cooling costs. The Cool Roof Rating Council rating confirms this performance independently. For a state that experiences both cold winters and warm summers, the reflective advantage pays for itself over time while maintaining the interior comfort that matters most to homeowners.

How much maintenance does a metal roof really need?

Interlock aluminum roofing requires minimal maintenance—no algae or moss growth, no rotting wood like cedar shake, no cracking like clay tile. Rain and snow naturally clean the surface; the Alunar coating resists dirt and chalk-off for 30 years. With St. Cloud Heights averaging about 683 mm of annual rainfall and about 96 cm of snow, your roof self-cleans during each precipitation event. Unlike asphalt (which needs periodic sealing), wood shake (which needs treatment), or tile (which needs repointing), aluminum simply performs without intervention. CALGreen verification confirms reduced maintenance responsibility, freeing you from ladder work and professional service calls that other materials demand.

Is a metal roof worth the upfront cost versus asphalt shingles?

Over the roof's life, yes. Asphalt costs less initially but lasts 15–25 years and requires costly tear-off and landfill disposal—a cycle that repeats 2–3 times during an aluminum roof's 50+ year lifespan. Interlock metal roofing costs more upfront but eliminates replacement cycles, transfer warranty value, minimal maintenance expense, potential insurance savings (UL 2218 Class 4), and energy savings from reflective coatings. You're buying your last roof. The Guardian Warranty (lifetime, non-prorated for you, 50-year transfer term) protects resale value better than any asphalt option. When you factor in Minnesota's 83 freeze-thaw days annually—which accelerate asphalt failure—the total cost advantage shifts decisively toward aluminum within 30 years.
