Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Buckman, Oregon
| Spec / Rating | Climate / Risk Factor + What It Solves |
|---|---|
| Wind resistance: 120+ mph (193+ kph) | Extreme wind, hurricanes, storm uplift: full interlocking attachment helps prevent blow-offs, edge lifting, and panel loss in high-gust events. |
| Fire rating: Class A (with proper assembly) | Wildfire, embers, radiant heat, chimney sparks: non-combustible roof assembly provides the highest residential fire protection rating. |
| Hail resistance: UL 2218 Class 4 | Hail and impact debris: highest impact classification; resists cracking, splitting, and surface loss common with asphalt under hail strikes. |
| Snow & ice performance: interlocking, shedding profile | Heavy snow, freeze-thaw, ice dams: smooth aluminum sheds snow efficiently and the interlocking design helps block water intrusion when melt-refreeze cycles occur. (Final snow-load capacity depends on roof structure and local code.) |
| Corrosion resistance: aluminum (won’t rust) | Salt air, coastal humidity, wet climates: aluminum naturally resists rust and corrosion, reducing long-term failure risk in marine or high-moisture environments. |
| Heat / UV durability: baked-on coating system | High heat, intense sun, thermal cycling: coatings resist UV breakdown and temperature-swing fatigue, slowing fading and surface degradation. |
| Moss / algae resistance: smooth coated surface | Wet shade, organic growth: low-porosity metal surface gives moss/algae less to grip, reducing staining and maintenance. |
| Material: heavy-gauge aluminum roof profiles (Slate / Shake / Shingle / Tile / Standing Seam) | All-season structural stability: lightweight, dent-resistant metal system stays stable through large hot-cold swings and severe weather. |
| Expected lifespan: 50+ years | Long-term durability across climates: avoids re-roof cycles typical of shorter-life materials, even in high-stress environments. |
| Warranty: Lifetime-Limited, non-prorated + 50-year transferable | Lifetime protection + resale value: guarantees long-term material confidence and transfers to future owners. |

What our customers are saying:
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.

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. Roof, material, workmanship: 5 stars, Areas for improvement: Testing for lead pre-install, Tarping for Debris catch and Cleanup: Improvement needed, Communication re: Cleanup: Improvement needed, Information re: payment (cash, no credit card, upon completion): Improvement needed
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. He explained the work being done and even replaced a worn board on the garage. This product is definitely worth every penny!

Beautiful roof, replaced 44-year-old concrete tile. Installers showed up when scheduled, were conscientious and knowledgeable. They were hardworking, even in difficult cold weather. Communication was challenging while waiting our turn, but this was addressed. Ten stars for all of you!PositiveResponsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism, ValueServicesRoof installation
Interlock Roofing installed a metal roof on our family home and it looks amazing. It has held up to extremely high rainfall so far. The crew that installed my roof was very professional and polite. I would recommend Interlock Roofing if you are in the market for a new roof.PositiveResponsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism
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! Positive Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism Services Roof installation
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" />
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.
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.
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 Buckman
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Buckman, 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 Buckman.
How does a metal roof handle Buckman's snow and ice buildup?
Metal roofs shed snow and ice more effectively than asphalt because the smooth, hard surface provides less friction for snow to stick. Buckman averages about 48 cm of snow yearly, and freeze-thaw cycles occur roughly 36 days per year—conditions that cause asphalt to deteriorate faster. Interlock's four-way interlocking panels, warranted to 120 mph wind, lock securely even when snow load shifts. The lightweight Shake profile at 0.58 lb/sq ft means no structural reinforcement is needed, and optional snow guards can be installed if local building codes require them.
With 1,468 mm of rain annually in Buckman, will a metal roof leak?
No. Metal roofs are inherently leak-resistant because water runs off the interlocking seams rather than being absorbed. Buckman receives about 1,468 mm of rain per year—well above the national average—making a waterproof, non-absorbent material critical. Interlock panels are installed over a solid deck with underlayment, creating a two-stage barrier. The four-way interlocking design means water cannot penetrate the joints. Proper installation by Interlock Metal Roofing (PNW) Inc., serving this region since 1997, ensures gutters and flashings handle the volume without compromise.
Why is aluminum better than steel for a metal roof in a wet climate?
Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron. The material self-oxidizes, forming a protective oxide layer that actually heals itself when scratched—a property called passivation. This matters in Buckman's wet climate, where moisture and the cycle of roughly 36 freeze-thaw days per year accelerate corrosion of steel. Interlock uses roofing-grade 3105-H24 aluminum alloy to ASTM B209 standards, plus a Alunar 70% PVDF coating applied to both sides and warranted 30 years against chalking. The company's panels have been installed from coastal salt-air homes to Antarctica, proving durability in the harshest moisture conditions.
Do metal roofs blow off in high winds?
No. Interlock panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph when installed to specification. Buckman's typical gusts reach about 116 km/h—nearly 72 mph—which is well below that threshold. The four-way interlocking design locks each panel to its neighbors at all four edges, distributing wind load across the entire roof rather than stressing individual fasteners. This locking system passed UL testing and is documented in ICC-ES evaluation ESR-1790. Over 25 years of operation in the Pacific Northwest's variable wind patterns, the system has proven reliable.
Can my house support a metal roof without reinforcement?
Yes, in most cases. Interlock's Mediterranean Tile profile installs at just 0.59 lb/sq ft—about 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile—and the Slate is similarly featherweight. This means the roof often goes directly over existing asphalt shingles without structural work. By contrast, real slate or tile roofing often requires roof framing upgrades. Buckman's building department may require inspection, but the exceptional lightness of aluminum avoids costly reinforcement in the majority of homes. Interlock Metal Roofing (PNW) Inc. assesses your specific structure during the free estimate.
Will my insurance company give me a discount for a metal roof?
Possibly. Many insurers offer discounts for Class 4 impact-rated roofs because they reduce claim frequency. Interlock achieves UL 2218 Class 4—the highest rating available—and the warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. While Buckman's hail risk is lower than inland regions, the high impact rating removes a liability concern from your insurer's perspective. Contact your agent with the UL 2218 Class 4 documentation to discuss discounts. Combined with the non-prorated lifetime limited warranty and 36 freeze-thaw days per year that stress asphalt shingles, the roof's durability may strengthen your premium case.
Does a metal roof reduce cooling costs in summer?
Yes. energy-efficient Interlock colors reflect solar heat rather than absorbing it the way dark asphalt does. The Aged Copper Penny color, for example, has initial solar reflectance of 0.55 and thermal emissivity of 0.84, meaning it bounces heat away while radiating absorbed warmth to the sky. Buckman averages about 2,957 sunshine hours per year, so this reflective advantage compounds across the seasons. The Cool Roof Rating Council rates these colors, confirming measurable cooling savings. A lighter-colored metal roof can reduce attic temperatures by 20-30 degrees Fahrenheit compared to asphalt, lowering air-conditioning runtime and extending HVAC life.
Is a metal roof cheaper than replacing asphalt shingles multiple times?
Over the roof's life, yes. Asphalt shingles last 15-25 years in Buckman's climate of 1,468 mm rain and 36 freeze-thaw cycles annually; you'll replace them at least twice in 50 years. Each replacement involves tear-off, debris disposal, and labor. Interlock's non-prorated lifetime limited warranty covers the original owner indefinitely and transfers once to the next owner for 50 years total. The initial cost is higher, but spreading it across 50+ years, you avoid three asphalt replacements and the compounding labor and waste-disposal costs. Current financing offers no payments and no interest until Spring 2027, making the upfront difference manageable while you recoup savings immediately.
What does the warranty cover and how long does it last?
Interlock's Guardian Warranty is non-prorated and lifetime limited for the original owner—meaning you never pay a percentage of repair costs, whether the roof is 5 years old or 40 years old. It covers rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance. When you sell your home, the warranty transfers once, giving the new owner 50 years of coverage from the roof's completion date. This transferability adds resale value because buyers inherit protection. By contrast, asphalt warranties are prorated after the first 10 years and rarely transfer. Buckman's 48 cm of snow and 36 freeze-thaw days each year test roofing durability heavily; the non-prorated structure means you're never penalized for weather stress.
Are metal roofs recyclable?
Yes. Interlock panels are approximately 95% recyclable aluminum. At end of life—whether 50+ years from now or in the distant future—the roof goes back into the aluminum supply chain instead of to a landfill. Asphalt shingles, by contrast, accumulate in landfills; Buckman residents generating roughly 48 cm of snow and 1,468 mm of rain annually experience accelerated shingle degradation, meaning more frequent tear-offs and disposal. Choosing aluminum eliminates this cycle: no tear-off waste, no landfill contribution, and material value at recycling. Interlock has been manufactured in Delta, BC since 1998, supporting a regional circular economy while reducing the environmental footprint of roofing replacements across the Pacific Northwest.
Is a metal roof a good choice for Buckman’s climate?
Yes. Buckman 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.
