Review: August 15, 2022Completion: June 30, 2022

We had a gorgeous Red Shingle Interlock roof installed and it had completely changed the look of our house! This roof was a long time coming…we placed the order in September 2021 and knew there was a 6mo wait but we were determined to wait it out and it was so worth it!The crew worked so fast and efficiently and really did a fantastic job. They were also super clean and made a great effort to leave no mess behind and even took care not to crush my plants.This is an expensive roof, make no bones about it, but the quality and durability as well as the beautiful look all are worth it.My house has had so many complements since it was done and compared to my neighbor next door who had a roof put on a couple months ago with traditional shingles, it is clear my roof is the favorite of the block!!

Interlock roofing is a fantastic company and the representative, Damon, was incredible. Always there to answer questions in a quick timely manner. I couldn’t be happier. This Aluminum roof will never need to be replaced and it makes my simple home look like a million dollar home. It’s stunning. I chose black slate and it is so beautiful. Such peace of mind too. I would highly recommend this company and its employees. The installation crew were professional and careful and accommodating. Thank You Damon and Interlock Roofing.

Review: May 5, 2021Completion: April 14, 2021

We had decided that we were ready to invest in a metal roof in our "forever home" for, among other reasons, its durability, eco-friendlly recyclable materials and light weight for seismic concerns. Damon was punctual and professional and an excellent salesperson. We had a very positive experience with May regarding scheduling; she was able to accommodate our timeframe and the crew showed up earlier than anticipated. The workmen were professional and very fast, and completed the tear-off and roof installation in 2.5 days. We were very impressed. The new roof is extremely attractive, and provided the whole house with the equivalent of a much needed "facelift!" We are delighted with our new roof and enjoy it every time we step away from the house to admire it. More thorough clean up, using magnetic tools to discover razors, nails and staples from tearoff. Better, more complete tarping to catch debris, not only on the slant side of the roof, but also the gable sides that are not slanted. They were not tarped, and that is where most of the debris and nails were found. An assessment for lead paint BEFORE working, which was promised, but not done. A smaller Interlock sign, in less garish (ie not fluorescent) colors, to display that would be acceptable for Washington County and the laws of other areas. I am not sure if the cardboard, water bottles and metal was separated and recycled off site, because it was all tossed into the same dumpster, but I would hope that since Interlock prides itself on eco-friendly recyclable materials, that it would follow through with recycling paper and metal as well.

Review: November 26, 2018Completion: November 26, 2018

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 well-being 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.

Interlock Roofing installed an excellent metal roof on our house. It looks amazing and will last for years! The installer, Victor, was very professional and did a great job.

Review: July 15, 2021Completion: October 19, 2020

It has now been nearly six months since our Interlock roof installation, and we couldn't be happier with it. We debated getting a metal roof due to the greater upfront costs relative to a standard composite roof, but we're not planning on going anywhere anytime soon, so the peace-of-mind of a lifetime roof -- knowing we won't have to do this again, and that the company stands behind the product the way they do -- makes it worthwhile. The installation crew was professional, and their customer service has been responsive when needed. Neighbors have commented too on how good our roof looks! Recommended!

Review: September 15, 2020

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. ">" alt="Interlock Aluminum Shake Roof - Portland, Oregon USA" width="1500" height="1124" />

Review: October 16, 2015Completion: September 29, 2015

We are thrilled with the quality and look of the roof! The installers are true craftsmen of their trade and were so polite and courteous. Nothing negative to say. The sales rep that came to our home was sure a top notch sales rep for your company. Mike Rasmussen was very impressive with his knowledge and ability to make you understand. We had four estimates prior to Interlock roofing and had pretty much made a decision prior to Mike coming to our home. I was going to cancel the appoitment with Mike but felt it would be rude to do so on the same day so we kept the appoitment. So glad we did !!! Mike did an amazing job at showing all the advantages of Interlock roofing compared to ordinary roofing. Best decision we could have made for our home and ourselves! Now comes the only part we were not pleased with and feel you could greatly improve. We were promised a start date of absolutely no later then Sept. 14th. No materials had been delivered or no communication from Interlock had occured and it was Sept. 12th. I made a phone call and was informed the roofing material had not been delivered yet and the new start date would be Sept. 21st. Why we had not been kept in the loop on that I am not sure. The morning of the 21st I receive a phone call from Roland Stark saying an employee called in sick and they would be starting the next day on Tuesday the 22nd. Tuesday the 22nd I receive a phone call from Roland Stark that the employee called in sick again and they will begin the next day Wed. the 23rd. I questioned why you could not begin the tear off without him and was told he was the lead guy. During the sales process we were informed that all of your installers have been with you for many years. I believe Mike said at least 14 years. But I could be wrong on that. Maybe he said 13 years. I was confused why tear off could not begin with that kind of experience. Roland said at the latest they would start Friday and his crew promised they would work Sat. and Sunday both to complete the job. We were promised job completion Sunday the 27th at the latest. Sat. the 26th is the actual day the men showed up to begin on the roof. The men showed up prompt and begun work immediately. Very professional and hard working. I was impressed. As they wrapped up for the evening to leave I said, " See you tomorrow." They looked a little confused and replied, " We will be back on Monday as we have worked all week and are going home to see our wives and kids." Completely understandable except Roland told us they had been home sick all week. Official finish date was Sept. 30th. Roland needs to be more honest and upfront about the scheduling. It was very frustrating and was the only negative thing about the whole experience. We had Leaf Filter gutters and also Lifetime Exteriors(new siding) both scheduled to begin work the day following the roof project. Each time Roland promised a new date these two businesses had to be contacted and they would re-schedule their crews. Very frustrating for both us and them.You requested where Interlock could have improved, therefore I gave you an honest answer. But I am keeping that between your company and us. The negative scheduling part that is. When asked how we like our new roof we respond with," Best decision we ever made for our home. We love it and could not be happier!!!! If we had it to do over again we would certainly choose Interlock Roofing." Have NO REGRETS. LOVE the roof.

Review: April 20, 2026Completion: June 20, 2019

We’ve had our roof for about 7 years and have been very pleased with it. Recently, I scheduled gutter cleaning which was complicated by a run of wet weather which makes the roof very slippery. The gutter contractor asked if we had ever considered installing safety anchors. I didn’t know there was such a thing. I called Interlock and Ivan came by to take a look. He quickly determined appropriate locations for the anchors that the gutter cleaners could clip their safety harnesses to and showed me an example of the anchor itself. He also offered to paint them black to make them more inconspicuous on our dark roof. He returned about a week later for the install and afterwards showed us pictures of the anchors from the roof and pointed them out from the ground. Overall very professional, prompt, excellent service.

Review: May 8, 2025Completion: April 17, 2025

We love our roof! Interlock was wonderful to work with. Very knowledgable and helpful throughout the whole process. The team that installed were amazing and did amazing work. They cleaned up everything in a timely manner. One feedback I would have is giving more updates on when the project was slated to be started, originally was schedule during our vacation and we didn't know til a few days before we left. Overall we are very please and cant wait to never change our roof again!

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Brooklyn

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

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

Metal roofs shed snow and ice more reliably than asphalt because the smooth, hard surface resists adhesion—especially important when Brooklyn averages about 48 cm of snow and experiences roughly 36 freeze-thaw cycles annually. Interlock's four-way interlocking panels and slope-dependent design channel meltwater safely into gutters without ice dam formation. The aluminum's thermal conductivity actually helps: heat from your home gently warms the underside, promoting natural shedding. Optional snow guards preserve gutters and walkways if you prefer controlled release. Unlike asphalt, which becomes brittle in freeze-thaw stress, aluminum flexes without cracking, so repeated seasonal cycling won't degrade your roof.

Will a metal roof rust in the Pacific Northwest's wet climate?

Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron—the element that oxidizes and corrodes. Instead, aluminum instantly develops a protective oxide layer that self-heals when scratched, so it resists degradation even in wet environments like Brooklyn's 1468 mm of annual rainfall. Interlock uses roofing-grade 3105-H24 and 3003-H24 aluminum alloy (ASTM B209) with Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon coating applied to both sides, warranted 30 years against chalking and fading. Steel roofs, by contrast, require paint maintenance and will eventually rust through. Your Interlock roof simply won't corrode, no matter how many rainy winters it endures.

Can a metal roof withstand Brooklyn's wind gusts?

Yes—Interlock roofs are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph, well above Brooklyn's typical gusts (recorded around 116 km/h, or about 72 mph). The four-way interlocking panel design locks each piece to its neighbors, distributing wind load across the entire roof rather than stressing individual fasteners. This means you're not relying on nails alone; the panels themselves form a unified, wind-resistant structure. ICC-ES evaluation report ESR-1790 confirms compliance with current building codes (IBC/IRC, reissued 2025). When storms roll through the Pacific Northwest, your roof won't lift or flutter—it'll stay put.

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

No structural reinforcement is needed. Interlock's aluminum panels are extraordinarily light: the Slate profile installs at roughly 0.41 lb/sq ft, and even the Mediterranean Tile—designed to replicate heavy clay or concrete—weighs only about 0.59 lb/sq ft, making it approximately 96% lighter than traditional tile. Most homes in Brooklyn can support this weight without any framing upgrades, and Interlock typically installs directly over your existing roof, eliminating tear-off labor and cost. If you were considering traditional slate or tile, you'd face thousands in structural work; aluminum delivers the same authentic appearance without that burden. Your home's frame remains unchanged.

What's the hail rating, and could my insurance premiums drop?

Interlock achieves UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the Guardian Warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. This superior resilience has prompted some insurers to offer discounts on premiums for metal roofs, particularly in regions prone to hail damage. While Brooklyn averages modest hail risk, the Class 4 rating protects against severe weather anywhere. When you file a claim, having documented Class 4 certification can streamline approval and demonstrate your roof's durability to underwriters. Contact your insurer about potential savings; many recognize metal roofing as a loss-prevention asset.

How much upkeep does an Interlock roof really need?

Interlock requires virtually no maintenance—no annual inspections, no patching, no recoating. Unlike asphalt shingles, which degrade predictably and must be replaced every 15–20 years, or wood shakes, which split and rot, aluminum simply weathers. The Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish resists fading and chalking for 30 years (ASTM D4214 measured), so your roof's color stays true through Brooklyn's ~2957 annual sunshine hours. Occasional gutter cleaning is all you'll do. No algae grows on aluminum, no moss takes hold, no granules wash away. The lifetime limited warranty covers cracking, curling, and splitting—conditions that plague other materials in freeze-thaw cycles like Brooklyn's ~36 per year.

Will heavy rain penetrate a metal roof in Brooklyn's wet climate?

No. Interlock's four-way interlocking panels overlap mechanically; water cannot flow uphill through the locks. With Brooklyn receiving about 1468 mm of rain annually, reliable drainage is non-negotiable, and the panel geometry is engineered so that rain runs downslope directly into gutters. Metal doesn't absorb moisture (unlike asphalt or wood), so even after sustained rainfall, your roof remains dry inside. Installation includes underlayment over solid decking, creating a watertight secondary barrier. The ICC-ES evaluation report ESR-1790 confirms leak protection under heavy rainfall. Thousands of Interlock roofs have performed flawlessly in coastal British Columbia's similarly wet climate since 1998—proof that metal roofing thrives in perpetually damp conditions.

How long does installation take, and can it go over my old roof?

Installation typically completes in 2–5 days, depending on roof size and complexity. Yes, Interlock installs directly over most existing asphalt roofs without tear-off—saving weeks of labor and eliminating disposal costs. The aluminum's light weight (~0.41–0.59 lb/sq ft) means your home's structure can easily support the overlay. Your local installer, Interlock Metal Roofing (PNW) Inc., has served the region since 1997 and understands Brooklyn's climate and building requirements. The process: inspect substrate, install underlayment, measure and snap chalk lines, lock panels together, trim flashing, seal. Unlike asphalt replacement, there's no dumpster, no days of hammering, no complete roof removal. In just days, you'll have a metal roof that will likely outlast your home.

Do reflective metal roofs really cut cooling costs in the PNW?

Yes, in summer months. Interlock's energy-efficient colors reflect rather than absorb solar heat; the Aged Copper Penny finish achieves initial solar reflectance up to 0.55 with thermal emissivity of 0.84, Cool Roof Rating Council rated. While Brooklyn's ~2957 annual sunshine hours and cool mean temperature (11.5°C) mean summer cooling demands are modest compared to hotter regions, every degree you keep out of your attic reduces air-conditioning strain and lowers energy bills. Reflective coatings also extend the life of roof-mounted equipment like HVAC units by preventing heat soak. In shoulder seasons and brief warm spells, a reflective metal roof materially outperforms dark asphalt. Long-term, the energy savings compound—another reason Interlock roofs deliver lifetime value.

Can I get a metal roof that looks like slate, shake, or tile?

Absolutely. Interlock offers five authentic profiles: Slate, Cedar Shingle, Shake, Standing Seam, and Mediterranean Tile. Each replicates traditional materials' texture and shadow lines, so your home retains its architectural character while gaining metal's durability. Slate profile suits contemporary and historic homes; Cedar Shingle and Shake evoke Pacific Northwest charm; Mediterranean Tile brings Old World elegance; Standing Seam offers a modern, clean-lined aesthetic. All are fabricated from the same roofing-grade aluminum with the same Alunar finish and lifetime warranty. Choose the profile that matches your home's style, knowing you've eliminated the vulnerabilities those traditional materials bring: slate cracks in freeze-thaw (Brooklyn averages ~36 annually), cedar rots in perpetual moisture (1468 mm rain/year), tile fractures under hail (UL 2218 Class 4 protection). Beauty and bulletproof durability—together.

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

Yes. Brooklyn averages about 48 cm of snow, 1468 mm of rain, roughly 36 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 116 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.
