Review: November 28, 2022Completion: November 23, 2022

Interlock Metal Roofing is an amazing company to do business with. My salesperson John was professional and knowledgeable. It is a big investment, but absolutely worth it. The installation crew was on time, hardworking and conscientious. I highly recommend this company to anyone who wants a roof to last 100 years!

Review: January 27, 2020

My wife recently purchased our home, and we were aware that the roof was getting close to end of life. We researched a few different options and came across Interlock Metal Roof. After meeting with John from InterLock, it became clear to us that a metal roof was the best option for our needs. We plan to live in our home for 30+ years, and while a metal roof is more expensive than a traditional roof, it will be more than worth it over that period of time. We will never have to replace our roof again! It was also great to know that the roof could be installed over the existing shingles, reducing both the mess of the project and the waste created by the old shingles. Jesse and his crew did a great job installing the new roof, and we could not be happier with both the look and the quality of the aluminum shingles. We would recommend InterLock to anyone considering replacing their roof.

Review: August 13, 2020

The investment we made in a new aluminum slate style shingle roof was much more than we wanted to spend, but when we analyzed the pros and cons, including the cost, it came out ahead. We wanted to upgrade our 100-year-old Chicago bungalow and, in particular, rejuvenate the attic and basement spaces. We also want to install a solar panel array on the roof while the current incentives with the IRS, the state and the utility net metering system are still in effect. We wanted to reduce the massive composite shingle tonnage that is covering the incredible sea of roofs across the land. This is undoubtedly a rather large carbon footprint and the short lifespan of many roofs (10-15 years) are causing us to fill and foul unsustainable dumpsites. The weight of our aluminum roof is less than 850 lbs., compared to 3-4 tons of architectural composite shingles. The Interlock roof is a lifetime roof warrantied for 50 years. When/if it is ever replaced, it will be completely recycle-able. Much of the heat captured by composite shingle roofs is reflected by the aluminum. Previously, our attic could reach temperatures near 130°F. We have seen a significant reduction in afternoon attic temps, 10-20 degrees. The installers, Jesse, Sal and Ben were very professional, safe and kind to us. They took the extra time to do it right and solve problems rather than take an easier route. They maintained social distancing and wore masks when necessary. They screwed down OSB sheathing on the existing 100-year-old deck boards which are stamped Sterling Lumber and Supply Co. "The Yards with the Stock". This company was located two blocks from our house in the early 1900s. Interlock continues a tradition from Sterling Lumber to build to last a lifetime. The original 1919 roof rafters were 2"x4"x16' and held up under numerous Chicago blizzards and storms. Prior to the project, we augmented the rafters with 2"x6"x16' #1 southern yellow pine. Hopefully, the roof will bear another century of Chicago climate change. The Interlock Industries' workers installed 95 snow guards to breakup snow slides off the roof. The roof is very attractive and my neighbors have complemented the looks of it. The siding on the dormers were also replaced with the aluminum shingles. We had a choice of several shingle " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">colors and chose one called gunflint. The shingles have a " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">slate-like surface that is embossed on the aluminum to give it a textured appearance and perhaps breakup wind and water flows. The Interlock installers removed and sheathed over the chimney and vent caps and added a ridge vent. They installed soffit vents which apparently were never a feature of the house. They removed the gutters and reinstalled them in order to fit the drip edge flashing and lock down the shingles. Everything is fastened with screws powered by cordless screw guns. They did not use air compressors. They had safety lanyards attached to the ridge and foot boards around the perimeter of the roof throughout the installation. We are very satisfied with the look of our new roof and ready to install solar panels which won't have to be removed to re-roof because the roof will probably last longer than the solar panels. We are not young anymore and the long-term value of this project will most likely benefit others and the neighborhood more than us, but for the time being, we are happy customers.

Review: May 21, 2012Completion: November 24, 2003

I wanted to write and thank you for all your efforts in working with us to put an Interlock roof on our home. It was a big decision, and all during the process, I felt like you really had our interests at heart. You never tired of answering my questions and your follow-up, whenever I needed to speak with you, was first-rate. I think we had three Interlock crews involved in our project. First came the tear-off guys, who, in our case, had to remove a cedar shake roof before any other improvements could take place. Second, came the install crew, led by “Nacho”, who is absolutely terrific to work with. Ours was a relatively complicated job, with lots of angles, overhangs, gables and pitch to deal with. Nacho made it happen. Finally, the cleanup crew. When Interlock left the job site, my expectations were exceeded. No landscaping was damaged, and the debris was all cleared away. Now, we have a stunning red hidden tile aluminum Interlock roof to look at and enjoy. Perhaps most enjoyable is knowing there will never need to be another roof put on this house. Already, after just a few weeks, we have received numerous compliments from neighbors and friends and see a lot of people slowing in their cars to get a better look. Bob, thanks to you and all the Interlock staff again for your assistance in making this experience a positive one.

Review: September 4, 2020Completion: August 7, 2020

I very pleased with the product and pleased with the install. They did a good job. They did a better job than what I was expecting. The put the original flashing on, and I requested they put the flashing on that came with the roof, and they did. It looks much better. It was nice of them to change it for me. I was very pleased. It is what I wanted and I was lucky I found them.

Review: June 30, 2017Completion: May 13, 2017

Telling the real lead time as to when the job could get started. The job got pushed back from December 2016 to May 2017. It was fine with us as we really did not want anyone working on our roof in the winter. The workers and project manager were very professional.

I am extremely satisfied with the product. They did a fine job. I can not come up with anything they need to change. I am very satisfied, and the neighbors say they have roof envy.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Greektown

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

Will metal roofing hold up through Greektown's freeze-thaw cycles?

Yes — aluminum actually thrives in freeze-thaw conditions. The material has no moisture absorption and expands/contracts minimally, so the roughly 69 freeze-thaw days Greektown experiences annually won't crack, curl, or split the panel. Unlike asphalt shingles, which become brittle in cold, or wood shakes, which split when water refreezes inside the grain, Interlock aluminum panels maintain their integrity season after season. The 3105-H24 alloy and PVDF coating are specifically rated for this stress cycle under ESR-1790 testing protocols.

How does metal roofing handle Greektown's annual snowfall and ice buildup?

Metal roofing sheds snow cleanly because of its smooth, hard surface — critical in a region that receives about 73 cm of snow yearly. The four-way interlocking panel system creates no exposed fasteners where ice can grip, and the low friction of the aluminum surface prevents dangerous ice dams from forming. The sloped profiles like Slate and Shake are engineered to channel meltwater off quickly. Snow guards can be installed if you want to retain snow for insulation or prevent slide-off onto walkways, giving you control asphalt cannot offer.

Is metal roofing safe in Greektown's wind gusts up to 95 km/h?

Metal roofing is safer than asphalt in high winds. Greektown's typical gusts reach 95 km/h, and Interlock's four-way interlocking panels are warranted to 120 mph (193 km/h) wind resistance when installed to spec. The mechanical interlock between panels, combined with proper fastening, creates a unified system that won't lift or blow off the way asphalt shingles do in sustained gusts. This design makes insurance claims less likely and gives you genuine peace of mind during the spring and fall windier periods.

Does Greektown's older housing stock need structural reinforcement for metal tile roofing?

No structural reinforcement is required. Interlock's Mediterranean Tile profile weighs only about 0.59 lb/sq ft — roughly 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile — so it installs directly over most existing roofs without adding dangerous load. Older homes in Greektown built for wood shakes or asphalt shingles can accept metal tile without engineering work or cost. The lightness also reduces stress on rafters during the 73 cm of snow Greektown receives annually, making it safer than upgrading to actual tile.

With 1024 mm of rain yearly in Greektown, will a metal roof leak?

Leaking requires water to enter the structure, and Interlock's four-way interlocking panels are designed to channel water away before it reaches seams. Each panel overlaps its neighbors on all four sides, creating a shingle-like shed pattern that funnels rainfall down and off the roof. Proper installation with solid decking and underlayment — standard practice by Interlock's local installer since 2001 — ensures water moves from panel surface to gutter system without pooling. The interlocking geometry, not coatings, provides the primary water barrier, making performance reliable in Greektown's consistent annual rainfall.

Does Interlock metal roofing qualify for hail damage coverage discounts in Illinois?

Possibly. Interlock achieves UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating — the highest available — and the warranty covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Some Illinois insurers offer reduced premiums for roofs with Class 4 ratings because claims are dramatically less likely. Contact your agent with the UL 2218 Class 4 specification and ICC-ES report number ESR-1790 to inquire about discounts. Even without a premium reduction, the durability means you won't face the repeated hail claims that drive up asphalt roof insurance costs over time.

Is a metal roof worth the upfront cost compared to asphalt in Greektown?

Yes, calculated across the roof's life. Asphalt shingles typically need replacement every 15–20 years; in Greektown's 69 annual freeze-thaw days and roughly 25 km/h mean winds with 95 km/h gusts, degradation accelerates. Interlock carries a lifetime limited non-prorated warranty for the original owner and one-time 50-year transfer to the next owner — meaning one purchase lasts the life of your home. Factoring in zero tear-off labor, disposal costs, and reinstallation, the total cost of ownership over 50 years strongly favors metal. The Guardian Warranty also covers splitting, cracking, and curling — failures asphalt owners pay to repair repeatedly.

What does Interlock's lifetime warranty actually cover in Greektown?

The Guardian Warranty covers rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance — the major failure modes in harsh climates like Greektown's. It is non-prorated for the original owner (no depreciation schedule), and one-time transferable to the next owner for 50 years from completion. This means a roof installed today transfers with the house and remains covered through mid-century. The Alunar 70% PVDF coating is separately warranted 30 years against chalking and fading (ASTM D4214/D2244), protecting the panel's color through roughly 92,000 sunshine hours of Greektown's typical 3094 annual hours. Transferability adds measurable resale value.

How much upkeep does a metal roof need compared to asphalt or wood in Greektown?

Metal requires virtually none. Asphalt shingles need inspections after wind gusts and hail, plus moss/algae treatment in humid regions. Wood shakes demand regular sealing, fungicide application, and individual replacement. Interlock aluminum is CALGreen-verified for reduced maintenance — no coating, sealing, or treatment needed ever. Rainfall of 1024 mm annually naturally washes the roof; gutters occasionally need leaves removed. The interlocking panel system is designed not to trap debris. Most homeowners simply inspect the roof after severe weather to confirm nothing fell on it. This simplicity is worth thousands of labor dollars over a 50-year lifespan.

Is metal roofing more environmentally responsible than asphalt?

Substantially. Aluminum is approximately 95% recyclable — end-of-life Interlock panels can be melted down indefinitely. Asphalt shingles, by contrast, constitute landfill waste that accumulates for decades. A typical roof tear-off generates 5–10 tons of landfill material; Interlock's lightweight design (the Slate at 0.41 lb/sq ft) often installs over existing roofs, eliminating tear-off waste altogether. Since 1998, manufacturing in Delta, BC has used the same recycled aluminum feedstock available regionally. Choosing metal breaks the asphalt replacement cycle every 15–20 years and redirects end-of-life material back into the aluminum supply chain.

Is a metal roof a good choice for Greektown’s climate?

Yes. Greektown averages about 73 cm of snow, 1024 mm of rain, roughly 69 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 95 km/h. Interlock® aluminum roofing is wind-rated to 193+ km/h (120 mph), UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated and Class A fire-rated, and its four-way interlocking panels shed snow and resist ice dams and freeze–thaw cracking — all backed by a lifetime limited, transferable warranty.
