Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Mill Park, 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 cannot begin to tell you how thoroughly satisfied we are, with not only our beautiful new slate roof, but every employee we had interaction with from start to finish.Mike and Damon were our first introduction to this company. They were polite, professional, informative and thorough in their presentation.Next we had several (over the phone) encounters with May. She worked diligently and professionally in getting our job scheduled between the time frame we needed.Now come the installers, Peter and Victor. These brothers are hard working, VERY knowledgeable, professional men with the highest of integrity. They started the job late (after coming from another job some distance away) the first evening, worked until dark. They returned the next morning, early, and put in 12 hours of work. (Again until just before dark)Came back and did an amazing job cleaning up everything!This is a quality product and a quality installation from a quality company we would recommend at any time.Thank you Interlock Industries, Inc. You have given these satisfied customers piece of mind in knowing we have a beautiful, lifetime roof.PositiveResponsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism, ValueServicesRoof installation
So I needed to get a new roof on my 1925 farm house and I wanted to get something that would last the rest of my lifetime; a metal roof was the right call. After looking online at different companies and getting a couple quotes, I decided to go with interlock. Damon showed us how the roof is installed and the interlocking shingles sold us. We had crazy wildfires here in Oregon 2020 that messed up a lot of schedules but the company was very responsive and accommodating. Victor was the lead of the installers and they were timely, friendly, professional in appearance and a pleasure to have onsite. They were very respectful of our property and cleaned up all the debris that comes with roofing. I would highly recommend them to anyone that wants a metal roof to last. Thank you Interlock, your team did a great job. Positive Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism Services Roof installation
We had already decided on a metal roof when we came across Interlock. It was one of those things where we were looking for a product with a quality standard that could match up to what we wanted. I’ll say this, Interlock works a bit differently from most of the roofing people we talked to. You’re going to talk to a sales person at your home visit, but don’t let that put you off. They’re knowledgeable and if you haven’t done your research, there will be some great information in the whole thing that’s really worth soaking up. Anyway, we were satisfied with the quality of the product in hand and decided to go ahead and go with Interlock. The install was delayed by a week due to some shipping issues, but that was really the beginning and end of the troubles. The Interlock folks let me know what was going on and when they’d have it sorted. All fine by me. It’s a lifetime roof, I’m not too upset if it takes an extra week to put it on. As I understand it, mine was a bit of a one-off problem anyway. The roofers were professional, quick, and thorough. Great people who worked quickly, cleanly, and the cleanup at the end of the day was nigh on amazing. Apparently the shipping issues on my initial order led to the final install of a very few pieces being delayed a few days, but before I knew it they were back out and finishing the job. Along they way they kept me updated on anything I needed to know. The finished product is the real question, I guess. And man, let me tell you. We’re more than happy with how it looks on the house. It’s especially crazy knowing that something that looks that good is going to last. You see standing-seam metal roofs all over and even with these you sort of wonder how “metal” the Interlock system is going to look. It looks great. Seriously, even right in the driveway it’s hard to tell it’s not either a slate or colored shingle roof. It’s really beautiful and it’s going to be there without the need for constant maintenance for a long, long time. That really makes the cost worth it. If you’re thinking about a metal roof, give Interlock a serious thought. The sticker price might make you jump a little in some areas than others, but now that it’s on the house I am happy we decided to go that way. It’s beautiful, it’s going to last a good long time, and there’s a certain confidence I get from knowing I’ll be dealing with the people who make it if there’s a problem.
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!!

To Interlock Roofing: We just had our house installed with a new metal roof from Interlock Roofing, and I was thoroughly pleased with the entire experience. That is a tall order in this day and age if you have had any dealings with contractors. The entire staff was excellent, from the first contact with Mike and Ross, who were very patient with my wife and me as we tried to pick out a color and type of roof from so many different choices. I appreciated their gentleness and show of concern for the decision. These two are a great team and have a lot of experience to bring to us. The installers were excellent as well, and we asked questions of them and they took the time to answer all of our concerns with kindness and showed they were very experienced in installing roofs. The interesting thing was ALL of the debris around the house that accumulates with a new roof, tiny pieces, large pieces, all were taken care of in the cleanup at the end and the area was spotless! I even looked for any piece left behind, but there was none! The end result is a beautiful roof that my wife and I are both impressed with, making our house look so nice – like brand new! We are amazed. Thank you all for a wonderful experience, and we look forward to a roof that will last 50 plus years, which by the way is longer than I plan on being around! Thanks too, for being such a great group of people to work with, providing a very pleasant experience.
Our home was recently the lucky recipient of a new aluminum shingle roof by Interlock. We are sure that if our house could, it would be singing! So, my husband I and will gladly speak for it. We cannot say enough good things about the quality of our new roof material and installation. From the first visit with the sales team (thank you Mike and Ross) we were impressed with the professional and trustworthy service of Interlock representatives. The whole job took place right on schedule with lots of communication all along the way. The installation crew (thank you Peter!) was hard working, intent on making sure every detail was done to perfection, considerate of our landscaping and a pleasure to have on our property. The finished product: WOW! We love it! This new Interlock roof not only makes our farmhouse and garage look fabulous, in addition, we are so happy to know we will never scrape moss again, not to mention that we will probably never even replace our roof again! The color and style of the shingles are so pretty and we know our home is protected from the elements like never before. We won’t hesitate to recommend Interlock Roofing whenever we have an opportunity. This company has developed a product that really measures up to everything it advertises. Thank you, everyone at Interlock. We loved doing business with you!
We were so impressed with Interlock Roofing. The entire process was great from sales, to installation to clean up. They made the process easy even when we had a few curveballs for them. They worked with us wonderfully the entire time and our roof looks amazing. The installation team was so nice and respectful. Our roof is beautiful.
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 saw the add on TV and knew a bit about Interlock Roofing and of course The “Never roof again”…. Slogan.Finally, we decided to contact them and make an appointment. I recommend to do your work and check your roof, have ANY kind of questions or doubts that are particular to your case and be ready for your appointment.Damon, our sales guy, was great and answer ALL, and by that meaning ALL questions that we have, for example:How long it takes?How invasive construction will be?What about our skylights?What about vents?What will happen to gutters?How many people will be in my Home?Debris?Warranty of the product?Warranty and insurance?What if I sell my home, warranty?When will work start?…… WELL, and probably 20 more questions.I already helped you tons with this examples of question.Again, Damon was great and on point and also very HAPPY to be challenged by a well involved client (Us).Finally, WE WENT FOR IT !!!!!! and ………WE LOVE IT !!!!! LOVE IT ! LOVE IT!My deeply THANKS TO :MARK / TIM / VICTOR AND of course the wonderful PETER; these guys were our installers and we communicated well and they were FAST AND IMPECCABLE.Now, let’s consider the times that we are living in….There was some waiting, there were jobs ahead of ours, and everything depends on nature too, so considering All of that….. WE LOVE THE ROOF! The look! The fact that we WON’T reroof again.We hope this helps you on your decision to go with Interlock. Positive: Quality, Professionalism, Value Services: Roof installation
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.
Please consider this my letter of testimony regarding the installation of my beautiful Musket Grey Slate roof! From the beginning of this “roof project”, all of my conversations with Meg and Claudette were friendly and my questions were answered by these pleasant and knowledgeable ladies. Since I had already seen a presentation with a neighbor, Mike Rasmussen was able to save us both some time as I was very ready to get my leaky roof replaced! He thoroughly explained how the aluminum fits together and assured me the trained installers really did know what they were doing! Rolland called to let me know when he would be delivering the materials. He was right on time – even with snow and icy roads to contend with! He very neatly placed boxed materials next to the garage and then covered everything with a tarp to keep it dry. I was concerned with his and the installers’ safety during those unusual winter weather conditions but both Rolland and Peter seemed to take it in stride. Peter was very efficient and explained how things worked and answered my questions that I didn’t know I had until I watched how fast yet carefully he worked. Mike was right – Peter was quick and there was very little wasted material when he had completed everything! As it turned out, Peter was the only installer and he wasted NO TIME removing the chimney, getting my skylight replaced and the roof was done in only two days!! It was unusually COLD in Oregon those days; January 7th and 8th. He worked well into the dark evening hours on both nights, which I thought was above and beyond the call of duty. He carefully cleaned up after himself before he left. As you see, I am very impressed with my new roof. At one point, I was concerned that the aluminum may be “noisy”, however, with the amount of hard rain we have had, there is no more noise than there was with my old shingle roof. Again, I am impressed. My son is thrilled that he will never have to get up and toss laundry soap around on the roof to kill the moss! Just today, a gentleman stopped to chat about my roof as he’d noticed the sign in my yard. I happened to be outside for a few minutes and was happy to share my very pleasant experience with him. Neighbors have stopped to look at the sign and check out the roof on their walks. Enclosed are pictures of my “roof project”. Strangers would not know there ever was a chimney on the house. Peter was very careful removing the bricks which I appreciated since the new Leaf Guard system was recently installed. I thank you all for your help with updating my house. Please feel free to call me at 503-xxx-xxxx if you would like further comments.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Mill Park
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Mill Park, 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 Mill Park.
Does a metal roof handle heavy snow and ice buildup in Mill Park winters?
Yes — aluminum's smooth, hard surface sheds snow and ice far better than asphalt, which traps moisture and promotes ice dams. Mill Park averages about 48 cm of snow annually and about 36 freeze-thaw days, conditions that accelerate asphalt wear. Interlock's four-way interlocking panels (ESR-1790 rated) create a unified surface that won't buckle or separate under thermal cycling, and optional snow guards let you control discharge safely without risking structural damage from accumulated loads.
Can an aluminum metal roof rust in Oregon's wet climate?
Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron — the chemistry is simply different from steel. What forms instead is an aluminum oxide layer that self-heals when scratched, so even exposure to Mill Park's 1,468 mm of annual rainfall won't trigger corrosion. The Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish (warranted 30 years against chalking) bonds to both sides of every panel, adding a sacrificial barrier that keeps the underlying metal pristine for decades.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover hail damage to a metal roof?
Metal roofs often qualify for insurance discounts because of their superior impact resistance. Interlock panels carry a UL 2218 Class 4 rating — the highest available — and the warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Contact your agent with the UL 2218 and ESR-1790 documentation; many insurers recognize this performance and lower your premium, offsetting installation cost faster than you'd expect in a climate where hail risk is real.
Will a metal roof stay secure during Oregon wind storms?
Mill Park experiences typical gusts around 116 km/h; Interlock panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to specification. The four-way interlocking design locks adjacent panels together at all edges, distributing wind load across the entire roof plane rather than relying on fasteners alone. This geometry, combined with proper fastening into the deck and underlayment, means no billowing, no panel separation, and no premature failures during the region's windiest seasons.
How does metal roofing handle Mill Park's heavy annual rainfall?
Solid standing-seam and shake profiles channel water downslope; the interlocking seams create multiple shingle-like barriers that defeat water backing up. With 1,468 mm of annual rainfall, Mill Park demands roofs that drain fast and shed water positively — asphalt absorbs and holds moisture, accelerating decay. Aluminum's hard surface and mechanical interlocks (ESR-1790 rated for IBC/IRC compliance) ensure water moves off your roof, not into it, protecting the deck and attic for decades.
Do I need to reinforce my roof frame for a metal roof?
No — aluminum's lightness is a structural advantage. The Mediterranean Tile profile installs at about 0.59 lb/sq ft, roughly 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile, so most existing roof structures require zero reinforcement. Mill Park's 48 cm average annual snowfall adds loading, but the aluminum assembly still weighs a fraction of slate or tile, meaning you avoid the engineering costs and construction delays that heavy materials demand. This also simplifies installation and reduces labor time.
How much maintenance does an aluminum metal roof need?
Essentially none compared to asphalt or wood. Asphalt requires roof repairs or replacement every 15–20 years; wood (cedar shake, shakes) splits, curls, and rots, demanding constant maintenance and chemical treatment. Aluminum doesn't rot, split, or curl — it just needs occasional guttering debris clearance, the same as any roof. The 30-year Alunar finish warranty (ASTM D4214/D2244 measured) means no re-coating, no re-painting, and no surprise failures tied to Mill Park's 2,957 annual sunshine hours of UV exposure.
Is a metal roof worth the upfront cost over asphalt in the long run?
The math is clear: asphalt lasts 15–20 years before replacement; Interlock carries a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for the original owner, transferable to the next owner for 50 years from completion. Factor in asphalt tear-off/landfill costs, maintenance repairs during those 15–20 years, rising labor rates, and the Guardian Warranty's coverage against rusting, rotting, splitting, and curling, and metal becomes the last roof you buy. Current regional promotion: no payments and no interest until Spring 2027 or 10% off installation.
Does a metal roof improve fire safety for my home?
Aluminum is non-combustible — it cannot burn. Interlock offers Class A fire classification (the highest category under NFPA standards), meaning embers and flying brands cannot ignite the roof. Mill Park's dry season and occasional wind gusts (up to 116 km/h) can carry fire risk during summer months. An aluminum roof eliminates one pathway for wildfire loss, and the ICC-ES evaluation (ESR-1790, reissued 2025) confirms non-combustibility under both IBC and IRC testing protocols, protecting your home and potentially qualifying you for insurance advantages.
Is there a local installer in Mill Park who specializes in metal roofing?
Yes — Interlock Metal Roofing (PNW) Inc. has served the region since 1997 and understands the specific demands of Multnomah County's wet climate, wind patterns, and freeze-thaw cycles (about 36 per year). The company installs over existing roofs, minimizing disruption and disposal costs, and stands behind every installation with access to the Guardian Warranty and ESR-1790 compliance documentation. Local service means faster responses, familiarity with building permits, and accountability — not a national call center.
Is a metal roof a good choice for Mill Park’s climate?
Yes. Mill Park 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.
