Review: February 19, 2020Completion: February 19, 2020

It's been about 6 weeks since our new roof was completed, and we are thrilled with the result. The whole process from start to finish was seamless and very efficient. As a salesperson myself, I was impressed with the 'no pressure' approach to selling us the roof and the information that was provided to us to make an informed decision on the type of roof for our home. We chose the black slate and it looks very smart and has transformed the look of our home considerably. Since the roof was installed, we have had the usual mixed bag of Washington weather - heavy rain, hail, strong winds, and frost. Our roof has been put to the test and passed with flying colors. Frank observed the installation process and was impressed with the seamless flashing, custom-made on site, and state of the art vent coverings. Our roof looks beautiful and stands out from the others in our neighborhood. We were particularly impressed with the workmanship of Victor and Mark Lomakin, the two men who installed the roof. They were punctual, fast, courteous, respectful, efficient and very professional. Our neighbors also commented on how well they worked. When the roof was complete, they cleared away all debris and even removed the unwanted satellite dish from our roof. It couldn't have gone better. We received all the financial documentation in a timely manner and all of the employees we have dealt with have been very knowledgeable and helpful. Our only criticism is that it would be nice to have an online payment facility for overpayments. Currently the only way to do that is to mail a payment to Canada but we don't have checks so we would have to purchase money orders and mail them as we intend to make over-payments along the way. We would happily recommend Interlock to anyone looking for a new roof. Kind regards Jennifer and Frank Herboldsheimer Ocean Shores, WA

Review: July 23, 2015Completion: July 8, 2015

Of the five name brand roofing contractors I screened for this project I chose Interlock and I am very pleased with the roof. Coordination and communication was critical especially since Interlock was to perform the installation immediately following another contractor performing a siding replacement. Communication with the interlock team was great and they remained flexible. Interlock was able to adjust their installation timeline as issues popped up with the siding project. Interlock promptly scheduled and dispatched materials and crew as soon as the siding contractor cleared out. I was a bit concerned about introducing a ">metal roof to the neighborhood, but could not be happier with the end result. In an effort to help tie everything together I had the siding contractor match the fascia wrap and gutters to the interlock ">roof black slate finish. The installation team was courteous, professional, and they notified me of any issues they ran across with the structure during the tear-off phase. Clean-up performed by the installation team was better than that performed by other contractors that had worked at the site. Great attention to detail and they took extra measures to protect sensitive areas around the house. I am currently working with their finance department as I Refinance the house and they are by far the friendliest finance team I have ever worked with. Great communication and customer care standards! The roof looks amazing and definitely grabs the attention of people driving by. The most amusing reaction so far was while I was watering the plants in the front yard a vehicle drove by, stopped abruptly, turned around, and pulled up into the driveway. A salesman in corporate attire for another roofing company stepped out of the vehicle and started asking questions about the roof. I was very familiar with the brand he represented because their product is rated among the best asphalt roofing products in the country. I thought that was quite amusing because here I am giving him contact information for a competitor . He was interested in something similar for his home so we talked for a bit about the Interlock Roof and he was very impressed. Reminded me of those old Coke versus Pepsi commercials.

Review: July 27, 2007Completion: July 25, 2007

Thanks for a very positive roofing experience! Our new roof is so beautiful we’re thinking of charging a fee to all the gawking neighbors that stop by to admire it!!! This was fun, positive experience from start to finish. Our sales rep spent three hours at our home going over every possible detail with us. He was knowledgeable, friendly and answered all our questions. As you can see by the pictures we have a pretty basic roof. There was no tear off to do; still, our three installers were 80% done on the very first day! Everything was done and cleaned up to our satisfaction by the end of day two. Our installers were friendly, courteous and hard working. I watched them for a few minutes as they all worked like a finely tuned machine installing our roof in perfect rhythm. For us, Interlock meant that the third time was the charm. We’d tried to do business with two other companies. The first took a large amount of money as a down payment and gave absolutely no customer service for two months. We got our money back and started over. The second company gave an inaccurate bid. Needless to say, we entered into this contract with some trepidation. interlock is a fabulous company and we’d recommend them to anyone in the market for a new roof!

Review: July 22, 2007Completion: March 13, 1999

We are writing this letter to show our appreciation for the wonderful job that was done on our roof. From the date your company representative met with us in our home to the date of completion, words cannot express how completely satisfied we are with your company. We definitely wanted a quality roof and were very impressed by the representation that was given to us. The product you provide was enough for us to make our decision, however it was a huge plus not to have to deal with a pushy salesman and to have such polite, friendly and hard working men providing the service. It was a pleasure to have them around our home. The quality, craftsmanship and lifetime warranty of this ">roof far outweighs the increased costs over other roof systems. However, other roof systems don't come with lifetime warranties and many only last for 8 to 10 years. We may have paid a little more initially, but how wonderful it is to know we will never have to re-roof our home again. And in addition to all of the above, it looks so beautiful and has added so much style to our home. I never dreamed a roof could make such a difference. Again, Thank you so much and be sure to know we will highly recommend your company to all of our family and friends.

Review: July 19, 2025Completion: June 18, 2025

I am very pleased with the entire experience with Interlock Roofing. Ross did a fantastic job of showing me all of the options available, and explaining how Interlock is different from other roofing. This was not a hard sales pitch. I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable a metal roof was. I had five other estimates for a traditional composite roof, and the price difference for a forever roof was negligible considering all the benefits. Next, the installation. These guys were amazing! Only two guys doing the demo and reroof, but very hard workers and did a fantastic job. It seems rare these days to find skilled tradesmen that take pride in their work, and these guys exceeded my expectations. I also took advantage of Interlock’s financing. Drew was very helpful and accommodating. The whole process was taken care of through Interlock, making it super convenient and great communication throughout. I will highly recommend:)

Review: April 2, 2024Completion: March 12, 2024

I installed a new metal interlock roof on my home in Anacortes. A big part of the cost was removing the existing concrete tiles from my roof which are a challenge. From the beginning working with sales, Paul and Ross was a pleasure...very responsive and professional. The installion crew and project managers, Tony and Patrick were terrific to work with. There were a few complications due to the existing roof but the Interlock team worked with me to resolve those issues. The crew were punctual and the installation proceeded on schedule. The cleanup was immaculate. My main goal was NOT to see any further leaking in my lifetime and hopefully that will be achieved. The roof looks great. If you are in the market for a metal roof, I would certainly recommend Interlock.

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Thank you Interlock for our beautiful new roof! Installation was great from start to finish.

Review: December 10, 2020Completion: December 31, 2020

Just a few days ago my husband and I were excited to see our new Interlock aluminum roof completed in the gorgeous eye popping finish of copper penny shake topping our newly purchased log home in Bellingham WA. We are so thankful for the signage that the company uses when completing new roofs because when we were first looking at our home and considering a purchase we happened to drive by a house just down the road that had the same " title="copper" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">copper finish aluminum Interlock roof that we eventually decided on. Seeing this roof installed on another house was the impetus that we needed to call the company and begin our inquiry well before we even purchased our home. We did our homework and considered other roofing materials and companies, but Interlock stood out in our minds as our top choice. The Interlock salesmen, Ross and Paul also went out of their way to come and look at the home and the roofing and bring samples to put on the roof for us to see during our inspection period. They also met with us immediately after closing on a Sunday as we wanted to lock in on a date for installation as soon as we could. We have a very large square footage of roofing, as well as a roof line that is very prominent on the house and we wanted to do something to enhance the stately character for what is definitely a very magical house and property. We have only now owned our house for less than two months, and already have our beautiful new roof completely installed. As we closed on our house in mid-October and we live in the Pacific NW near the Canadian border, this is already a feat. The team of roofers who were sent by Interlock to do our installation were some of the hardest working, most focused, and skilled labor crew we have had the pleasure of coming across. They completed the job in 2.5 weeks, working weekdays and Saturdays, arriving at 7:30 AM and working until 6 PM into the darkness with headlamps on. They worked in rain, cold, and very windy conditions, removing 90,000 lbs. of clay " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">tile roofing and replacing it with the Interlock 100 year warrantied high quality roofing. The team was extremely respectful, also replacing a skylight that we added to the job mid-way and reinforcing roofing around other skylights that appeared to be leaking. All members of the Interlock company that we have spoken with or had contact with otherwise have been friendly and personable, respectful, and quickly and effectively addressed any questions or issues that we have brought to their attention. We feel safe and secure under our beautiful and functional Interlock roof that is quiet when it rains and lets the water run off in rivulets into the eaves. We thank everyone at Interlock and hope to have a long and successful relationship with Interlock and our new roof.

Review: February 11, 2019Completion: January 13, 2019

We are very pleased with our new roof installed by Interlock Metal Roofing. The house looks beautiful, more than I imagined. You Paul Wright, as our salesman, are appreciated for all the information about the product and the no pressure approach you do. The installers were wonderful. They were great to work with—cleaned the area around the house each night. Our house was three days from start to finish …amazing to watch. We couldn’t be happier with the service and the product.

Review: April 10, 2018Completion: July 18, 2017

To Whom It May Concern: It is our pleasure to highly recommend Ross and Interlock Roofing for your next roofing project. Our roof was installed in August of 2017 it’s amazing the performance it provides to our home. The temperature indoors during the summer is cooler allowing energy savings, our Shake profile stands out with lasting beauty and durability. The installation crew is as great as the product they are polite and professional and went above our expectations they answered all our questions with no concerns. Our investment to have Interlock roof on our home gives us Peace of mind knowing for years to come we will never have to worry about our roof again. We would not hesitate to recommend Interlock Roofs and their awesome products to anyone looking for a new roof.

Review: August 1, 2006Completion: July 18, 2006

We just wanted to let you know how thoroughly-pleased we are with our new Interlock Roof. It is absolutely beautiful and we have had a lot of people stopping as they walk or drive by to admire how nice it looks. Everything progressed on the job exactly as you had shared with us when we signed the contract. There were no surprises. From the beginning when we got the call to set up a start date, to the final clean up and retrieval of the waste bin everything was handled so professionally. Viktor and Alex were a dream to work with-so-pleasant and each day everything was left so tidy that it would have been hard for guests to tell that we were in the middle of a re-roofing job. We will highly recommend your product and doing business with such a professional and obviously well run company.

Review: October 26, 1999Completion: October 6, 2018

What a substantial difference the Interlock aluminum roof has made to the appearance of my hundred year old house. The haunted house look changed instantly into desirable real estate. The people who sold me the house have said they wish they had asked more for it now! My previous roofer, who I have used for many years on five different roofs with excellent results; drove by and said he knew it was a good job. He also wanted to recommend Interlock roofing to another customer who wanted something better than composition roofing. The service was great, the sheet metal engineers were industrious, exacting workers, and there have been no problems with anything. It looks so solid and neat; I cannot describe it exactly, but I will never be happy with composition roofing again. The leaves slide right off so it is always clean, and shows off the gables and fancy lines of the house so well... I love it!

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Humptulips

The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Humptulips, Washington. 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 Humptulips.

Does a metal roof handle Humptulips' heavy snow and ice buildup?

Yes — aluminum's smooth, interlocking design sheds snow and ice far more effectively than asphalt. Humptulips averages about 60 cm of snow annually with roughly 38 freeze-thaw days per year, creating conditions where ice dams form on traditional roofs. The four-way interlocking panels and low surface friction prevent ice from bonding to the roof. Snow guards are available if you want to manage snow slide onto walkways, but the metal surface itself resists the freeze-thaw cycle that splits asphalt and wood shingles. Unlike shingles that degrade from repeated thaw-refreeze, Interlock's aluminum won't crack, curl, or rot through those seasonal swings.

Why won't an aluminum roof rust like steel or corrugated metal?

Aluminum is fundamentally different from steel: it contains no iron, so rust—which requires iron oxide—cannot form. Interlock uses roofing-grade 3105-H24 aluminum alloy (ASTM B209) with a protective Alunar® PVDF coating applied to both sides. When the coating is scratched, aluminum's oxide layer self-heals, sealing the exposed metal. Humptulips' 2305 mm of annual rainfall and salt-air proximity near the coast make this dual protection critical. The 30-year coating warranty against chalking and fading (ASTM D4214) ensures the finish stays intact; the lifetime material warranty covers the underlying aluminum if corrosion somehow occurs—which it won't. Steel metal roofs require ongoing vigilance; aluminum simply doesn't corrode.

Will a metal roof stay secure in Humptulips' wind and coastal gusts?

Interlock's four-way interlocking panels are engineered to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to specification. Humptulips experiences typical daily winds around 15 km/h with gusts reaching 106 km/h—well within that rated envelope. The interlocking design means each panel locks to its neighbors on all four sides, distributing wind load across the entire roof structure rather than relying on fasteners alone. This is why the product carries a 120 mph wind warranty despite the region's exposure. Traditional asphalt shingles, by contrast, are fastened individually and often lift or tear when gusts spike. The aluminum won't loosen, lift, or separate under the coastal and seasonal gust patterns you experience.

Is a metal roof actually protected against hail, and does it lower insurance costs?

Interlock holds the UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—which means it withstands impacts from 1.5-inch hailstones without loss of performance. The warranty explicitly covers perforation from hail of this size. While Humptulips isn't a severe hail zone compared to inland regions, Class 4 rating gives you the strongest product available and often qualifies you for insurance discounts or credits. Your insurer may reduce your premium because the roof is non-combustible aluminum, Class A fire-rated, and demonstrably impact-resistant. Contact your agent with the ESR-1790 evaluation report and UL 2218 Class 4 rating to ask about credits. Metal roofing's proven durability increasingly earns premium reductions that asphalt cannot match.

What is the actual warranty on an Interlock metal roof, and does it transfer?

Interlock offers a lifetime limited material warranty for the original owner—non-prorated, meaning it doesn't diminish over time. It covers rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance for as long as you own the home. When you sell, the warranty becomes one-time transferable: the next owner gets 50 years of coverage from the roof's completion date. That's a tangible selling advantage. Most asphalt roofs last 15-20 years before needing replacement; the Interlock warranty essentially promises you'll never buy another roof. Over 40+ years in Humptulips' 2305 mm annual rainfall and 38 freeze-thaw cycles, that distinction—lifetime coverage versus a 20-year asphalt replacement cycle—translates to real savings and peace of mind.

How does the cost of a metal roof compare over a lifetime in Humptulips?

Metal roofing costs more upfront than asphalt, but asphalt requires replacement every 15-20 years. Over a 40-50 year span in Humptulips' wet climate (2305 mm rain annually, 38 freeze-thaw days), you'll replace asphalt 2-3 times; Interlock's lifetime warranty means one installation. Factor in labor, hauling old shingles to landfill, and rising material costs across two or three cycles, and the total cost of ownership heavily favors metal. Plus, the current promotion offers no payments and no interest until Spring 2027, or 10% off installation. The Alunar® 30-year coating warranty and Guardian lifetime material warranty eliminate the financial surprise of premature failure that frequently hits asphalt owners in high-rainfall zones.

In a place that gets 2305 mm of rain yearly, how does a metal roof stay leak-free?

The four-way interlocking design is the key: each panel locks to its neighbors on all sides, creating a continuous, channeled system that directs water downslope without gaps. Humptulips' heavy rainfall—about 2305 mm annually—demands flawless water shedding, and the interlocking geometry handles that by design, not by luck. Water cannot pool between panels or find seams. Installation includes a solid deck and underlayment that matches asphalt-quiet performance, providing redundancy: even if water somehow penetrated the metal surface (which the oxide layer prevents), the underlayment catches it. The ICC-ES ESR-1790 evaluation certifies the system for residential water tightness. Countless installations from coastal salt-air homes to rainy Pacific regions prove the interlocking panels move water reliably, even in climates far wetter than Humptulips.

Can my house's frame handle a metal roof, or will I need expensive reinforcement?

No structural reinforcement needed. The Mediterranean Tile profile, for example, installs at approximately 0.59 lb/sq ft—about 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile. The Slate and Shake profiles are similarly featherweight (0.41–0.58 lb/sq ft). Most existing framing can support this with ease, and you can often install Interlock over an existing asphalt roof without removal, saving time and disposal costs. By contrast, authentic slate or clay tile requires substantial structural upgrades because of their mass. Humptulips' frequent moisture and wind (gusts to 106 km/h) are handled by the interlocking mechanical strength, not added weight. The aluminum's light weight means no hidden structural costs, no contractor surprises mid-project, and the option to overlay rather than tear off.

How much maintenance does a metal roof need compared to asphalt or wood?

Interlock requires minimal maintenance—occasional gentle rinsing to remove debris and salt spray. Asphalt shingles need frequent inspections in Humptulips' 2305 mm annual rainfall and 38 freeze-thaw days; moss and algae grow aggressively in damp climates and degrade asphalt. Wood shakes split and rot from the same moisture and freeze-thaw cycle. Aluminum's non-porous surface resists moss, algae, and rot entirely. The Alunar® PVDF finish is CALGreen-verified for reduced maintenance, meaning you're not power-washing, resealing, or replacing damaged shingles every few years. The coating warranty lasts 30 years against chalking and fading, so color remains stable without refinishing. Over the roof's life, the time and cost savings—no moss treatments, no shingle replacements, no sealant reapplication—add up significantly compared to any other roofing type.

Can a metal roof look like slate, cedar shake, or tile instead of 'typical metal'?

Yes—Interlock offers five distinct profiles: Slate, Cedar Shingle, Shake, Standing Seam, and Mediterranean Tile, each manufactured with authentic texture and dimension. The cedar-look and slate profiles appeal to homeowners wanting traditional aesthetics without asphalt's short lifespan; the Mediterranean Tile brings upscale character while weighing about 96% less than actual tile. Standing Seam suits modern or industrial designs. All five profiles are formed from the same durable aluminum alloy (3105-H24, ASTM B209) and carry identical wind (120 mph), hail (UL 2218 Class 4), and lifetime warranty protection. Humptulips homeowners who want their roof to match architectural character—whether farmhouse, contemporary, or coastal—can choose the style without sacrificing performance. The profiles are produced in multiple energy-efficiency colors, so you also control thermal reflectance.

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

Yes. Humptulips averages about 60 cm of snow, 2305 mm of rain, roughly 38 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 106 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.
