Portland, OR — The official roofing contractor for the Interlock Lifetime Metal Roofing System in Portland, Oregon. Our interlocking metal shingle roofs are backed by a Lifetime Limited Warranty. Choose from Slate, Cedar Shingles, Shake, Tile, and Standing Seam panels.
I’ve had this roof for about 18 months now. I am very happy with it and was quite pleased with the pre-sale discussion and the actual installation. I never thought a roof was something that you would get compliments on, but I certainly get them. I figured why get a roof that would last me for 5 to 10 years when I can get one that will last virtually my lifetime? Very happy all around.
Sincerely,

This Garden Home-Whitford homeowner had an epiphany that most people overlook: You can either buy three or four roofs in your lifetime, or you can make a single, wise investment.
Garden Home-Whitford sits in that sweet spot between Portland, Tigard, and Beaverton—officially unincorporated Washington County, but with all the perks of urban living wrapped in rural charm. The Fanno Creek Trail winds through the neighborhood, connecting residents to miles of protected green space.
It’s the kind of place where houses sit on generous lots, some with half an acre or more, where the streets feel rural but you can walk to cafes and restaurants—the perfect blend of urban convenience and forest-like tranquility.
In this neighborhood of discerning homeowners, one roof stands out as a symbol of taste and quality.
The Deep Charcoal Interlock Slate isn’t just a color—it’s a symbol of architectural confidence. While neighbors replace their roofs every 15-20 years (that’s three or four times in a lifetime), this homeowner chose permanence.
Here in the Pacific Northwest, roofs endure a range of harsh conditions, including rain, high winds, snow, salt air, ice, and dramatic temperature swings. These conditions create constant battles against moss, granular loss, fading, creaking, lifting, rust, and lost shingles.
Portland gets 36 inches of rain annually, with constant moisture exposure that can lead to mold, mildew, and leaks if roofing materials aren’t up to the challenge.
Traditional materials struggle. Metal roofing excels.
“The installation crews were very nice, hard working, friendly, polite.”
You can’t fake professionalism in a customer review. When installation crews show up on time, work with precision, and treat your property with respect, it shows in every interlocked panel.
Oregon building codes require metal roofing systems to meet stringent wind load requirements and adhere to proper flashing standards. But code compliance is just the starting point. The real test comes when Pacific Northwest storms arrive.
The 4-way interlocking design not only meets but also exceeds building standards. Each panel locks with the ones above, below, left, and right, creating a continuous barrier that sheds rain like water off a duck’s back.
Interlock Metal Roofing Systems are engineered explicitly for Oregon’s harshest seasons—built to withstand hurricane-force winds, Class IV hail, and freeze-thaw cycles that cause ice dams and roof damage.
In Portland’s wet climate, metal roofing is naturally resistant to mildew, rot, and algae—the three most significant threats to roofing longevity in our region. While other materials absorb moisture and deteriorate, aluminum shingles shed water and remain beautiful for decades.
The science is simple: Water can’t penetrate what it can’t grip.
Here’s what most people don’t calculate:
Every year, approximately 11 million tons of asphalt shingles are disposed of in landfills. That’s the weight of roughly 2,200 Boeing 747s—every year.
Interlock systems are made from up to 95% recycled aluminum and are fully recyclable at the end of life. When your grandchildren inherit this roof (and they will), it can be completely recycled into new products.
The Alunar “Cool Roof” coating system reflects heat, reducing cooling costs by up to 25%. In Portland’s increasingly warm summers, that translates to measurable utility savings.
In Garden Home-Whitford, where architectural variety ranges from early 1900s character homes to contemporary designs, standing out requires intentionality. The Deep Charcoal Interlock Slate provides that distinctive elegance without overwhelming the home’s existing character.
It complements the natural beauty of the area—the mature trees, the Fanno Creek corridor, the rolling terrain that makes this neighborhood special.
When installed with proper underlayment, Interlock Metal Roofing Systems achieve a Class A fire rating—the highest standard for residential roofing in North America.
In a region where wildfire risk is increasing, this isn’t just about insurance discounts. It’s about protecting what matters most. While combustible materials can accelerate fire spread, metal roofing helps slow ignition and provides crucial time for fire response.
The installation quality reflects the contractor’s expertise in Pacific Northwest conditions. Interlock Metal Roofing is recognized as the best metal roofing contractor in Oregon for 2024 & 2025 by Rip City Review.
This recognition isn’t purchased—it’s earned through consistent excellence in installation, customer service, and long-term performance.
Most homeowners spend their entire lives managing roofing problems, researching contractors, getting estimates, dealing with storm damage, and planning for replacements.
This Garden Home-Whitford homeowner chose a different path.
They invested in permanence. In beauty that lasts. In engineering, that works with Pacific Northwest weather instead of fighting it.
The result: The most beautiful roof in the neighborhood. And the last roof they’ll ever need.
The science is proven. The warranty is unmatched. The results speak for themselves.
In Garden Home-Whitford and throughout the Portland metro area, homeowners are discovering what this customer already knows: the right roof isn’t just protection—it’s transformation.

Metal roofing systems like Interlock can last 50+ years in Portland’s wet climate, significantly outlasting traditional asphalt shingles that typically need replacement every 15-20 years. The aluminum construction naturally resists moisture, mold, and algae that commonly damage other roofing materials in Oregon’s 36-inch annual rainfall environment.
Absolutely. Interlock Metal Roofing Systems are specifically engineered for Pacific Northwest weather extremes, including freeze-thaw cycles, ice dams, and snow loads. The interlocking design and material strength exceed Oregon building code requirements for wind and weather resistance.
Metal roofing systems like Interlock Slate offer classic elegance that complements both traditional and contemporary architecture. The Deep Charcoal color provides sophisticated curb appeal while the slate profile mimics natural materials. Many Portland neighborhoods appreciate the premium aesthetic that enhances rather than dominates home design.
Yes, Portland requires building permits for roof replacement projects. Interlock Metal Roofing handles all permitting requirements and ensure compliance with local building codes, including proper flashing, wind resistance standards, and structural requirements specific to Oregon.
Metal roofing naturally resists moss, mildew, and algae growth that plague other roofing materials in Portland’s damp climate. Unlike organic materials that moss can grip and damage, smooth metal surfaces shed water quickly and don’t provide the conditions moss needs to establish and spread.
Interlock systems come with a genuine lifetime-limited, 50-year transferable warranty against manufacturing and material defects—which includes issues like rust, cracking, curling, hail up to 1½″, burning, and wind infiltration up to 120 mph when installed per guidelines.
Thanks to the 4-way interlocking panel design, individual panels can be swapped out as needed without compromising the rest of the roof.
In climates like Portland—where storms often damage traditional asphalt roofs—properly installed metal roofs such as Interlock are routinely far more resilient to heavy rain, wind, and ice.”
The Alunar “Cool Roof” Coating System can help reduce cooling costs by up to 25% during Portland’s warmer months. The reflective properties help regulate attic temperatures, reducing strain on HVAC systems. Combined with the insulative benefits and air sealing properties, many homeowners see measurable utility savings year-round while enjoying more consistent indoor comfort.
In the heart of Portland’s Portsmouth neighborhood, just across from the verdant expanse of Portsmouth Park, a classic 1928 bungalow has embraced a modern transformation. This residence, situated near the University of Portland, now boasts a Deep Charcoal Interlock Slate Metal Roofing System—a choice that marries timeless aesthetics with cutting-edge durability.
Peter, the homeowner, is delighted to share his experience:
Portland, affectionately known as the “City of Roses,” is celebrated for its lush gardens, vibrant arts scene, and commitment to sustainability. The Portsmouth neighborhood, with its tree-lined streets and proximity to educational institutions, embodies the city’s unique charm and community spirit.
The Interlock Metal Roofing System installed on this home is more than just a roof; it’s a testament to quality and foresight. Crafted from heavy-gauge aluminum, it resists corrosion from Portland’s frequent rains and the occasional coastal salt spray. Its 4-way interlocking design offers unparalleled protection against high winds, a feature particularly beneficial in the Pacific Northwest’s varied climate. Additionally, the full-length nail strip ensures a secure installation, providing peace of mind for decades.
Choosing Interlock means making a sound investment in a roof that complements Portland’s unique character while offering the durability and efficiency modern homeowners seek. This decision aligns with the city’s ethos of blending tradition with innovation, ensuring that this Portsmouth bungalow remains a cherished part of the community for generations.

Interlock was great. The roof is beautiful and the crew was great to work with. Everyone we met with was kind, skilled and knowledgeable. Mike and Damon even helped us work with insurance some due to a tree falling on our house. Interlock made the overwhelming task of getting a full new roof a little less overwhelming, and we appreciate them so much for that.

At the recommendation of a neighbor, we chose Interlock Roofing and we couldn’t be happier. We’ve been homeowners for 40+ years and fortunately have never had to worry about a roof, as our houses were new, and we moved somewhat frequently. Then two years ago we bought a second home on the Oregon Coast and knew we would have to replace the roof within a few years. Until finding out about Interlock, I fretted about having it replaced.
So, after having our second home’s roof replaced, I asked Damon to inspect our main, 16-year old house in Portland. He thought it had anywhere from 2 to 5 years life in it, but we opted to have it replaced for three reasons. First, why wait for a leak, second, because the warranty is going to outlive me and finally…it will never be cheaper. The roof is absolutely beautiful and is the envy of the neighborhood.
Dealing with Interlock has been such a pleasure on ALL fronts. The communication throughout the process was flawless. They did everything and more that was promised. Very few products and services have ever impressed me more.
Sincerely,

We are very pleased with our new Interlock roof. While our house is nearly 100 years old, the new roof fits perfectly with the style and enhances the look of our home. We began receiving compliments from our neighbors almost immediately.
Michael Laduke and his crew were professional and courteous, keeping the surrounding yard clean of debris and closing the gates each day to prevent our dog from escaping. Although the crew was slightly delayed due to an unfortunate encounter with a deer on the road, the work was completed just before the Thanksgiving holiday, adding the health and wellbeing of the crew and the beauty and protection of a new roof to our list of things to be thankful for.
We greatly appreciate Mr. Laduke’s commitment to detail and his personal assurance that the project was completed before the holiday weekend. We would most certainly recommend Interlock Roofing Systems to anyone considering roof replacement.
Sincerely,
Pat and Sally McCurdy

Dear Sirs:
Our old roof was torn off quickly and efficiently in February by the two installers assigned to install the Interlock Roof. The weather did not cooperate with us much but the installers worked with skill when weather permitted. The yard was cleaned of all debris better than any other workers we have ever employed in the past. The roof is beautiful. We are very happy that this is the last roof we will have. In the past year, we have observed at least two houses in our area that, apparently, have very astute owners who have installed an Interlock Roof. We happily recommend Interlock lifetime Roofing Systems.
Sincerely,
Tina and William L.

I really like the roof I have on my house. It really stands out as a nice roof in my modest neighborhood. I went with Interlock because the company uses the thickest gauge aluminum, has one of the best roof warranties, easy to maintain, is lead-free for future rainwater collection, and offered standing seam for my solar array installation.
An added benefit is that the roof qualifies for some energy efficiency tax rebate. Interlock sales and HQ people worked with me when I went back and forth on getting a tubular skylight. When I did decide to get my own SolaTube, they charged me a fair price for installation.
The work crew guys were pleasant. They brought extra material to my house. When I saw something I didn’t like, they replaced it without hesitation. I asked, and they said that they only do Interlock installations. One of they guys started eating a weed that was growing in my yard which I had been trying to identify for months. He told me the name and it was in one of my favored plant species, sorrel! What serendipity! To top it off, when I notified them that the natural gas guy inspected my venting and said to change it, the repairman came down and fixed it for me. No charge no hassles! I sure hope that my next 50 years with Interlock are as smooth as the first!

We thank you for providing such a quality product and installation which we look to receive years of permanent protection from the elements. The installation process went very well with a very professional and courteous crew of installers. Having dealt with a number of home improvements, including a kitchen and bathroom remodel, we appreciate the level of service the crew provided, especially providing very good communication with us.
If you need further follow up, please feel free to contact us. Already we have had a number of people in the neighborhood stop when we are in the yard to inquire about the roof. We are in a high-pedestrian traffic area, given the proximity of the business district, schools, transit, and other services. Based on our first impressions, we have told them we are pleased with how well the installation went and foresee the benefit of this roof for us.
Hopefully, our reference will guide people to inquire directly with your company.
Sincerely,
Patrick
