Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Zillah, Washington
| 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:
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
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.
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!
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.
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:)
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. We have lots of neighbors walking by and saying “wow” and that it doesn’t look like a metal roof. We are so happy to have our “forever” roof and to never have to re-roof again! 😀 Only wish we had done it SOONER!

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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Zillah
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Zillah, 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 Zillah.
Will a metal roof handle Zillah's winter snow and ice buildup?
Metal roofs shed snow and ice effectively due to their smooth, hard surface and excellent thermal properties. Zillah receives about 112 cm of snow annually with roughly 101 freeze-thaw cycles per year—conditions where ice dams commonly damage asphalt roofs. Interlock's aluminum panels, warranted to 120 mph winds, remain secure even when snow loads shift. The non-combustible finish doesn't degrade in freeze-thaw cycling, and snow guards (optional) can be added if you prefer controlled shedding. Your roof's integrity won't suffer from the repeated expansion and contraction that compromises traditional materials.
How does freeze-thaw weathering affect metal roofing in Washington winters?
Freeze-thaw damage occurs when water penetrates material, freezes, expands, and cracks it—but aluminum's oxide layer prevents water absorption entirely. Unlike asphalt shingles (which crack and curl) or wood shakes (which split), Interlock's 3105-H24 aluminum alloy is immune to this cycle. With Zillah averaging 101 freeze-thaw days per year and 112 cm of snow, your roof faces this stress continuously. The Alunar 70% PVDF coating adds extra durability, warranted 30 years against breakdown. Your roof will look and perform identically in year 30 as it did in year one.
Can a metal roof rust? What about salt air or moisture in Yakima County?
Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron—the element that oxidizes and weakens steel roofs. Instead, aluminum forms a thin oxide layer that self-heals when scratched, protecting the metal beneath indefinitely. Interlock's roofing-grade 3105-H24 and 3003-H24 alloys (ASTM B209) are specifically formulated for coastal and high-moisture environments, with the Alunar finish applied to both panel sides for extra protection. Even in Zillah's wet climate—336 mm of annual rainfall plus 112 cm of snow melt—your aluminum roof will never corrode, rust through, or require replacement due to material degradation.
Do I need to reinforce my roof structure to support a metal roof?
No structural reinforcement is needed. Interlock's aluminum panels are extraordinarily light—the Slate installs at just 0.41 lb/sq ft, and even the decorative Tile profile weighs only about 0.59 lb/sq ft, roughly 96% lighter than actual clay or concrete tile. Your existing framing easily supports this weight, and the roof can install directly over most current asphalt or wood shingles without costly structural work. This lightweight advantage, combined with ICC-ES evaluation (ESR-1790), means installation is faster and less expensive than traditional tile. You get architectural beauty without engineering costs.
What hail rating does a metal roof have, and will it lower my insurance?
Interlock metal roofing holds the highest available hail impact rating: UL 2218 Class 4, which covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. This rating reflects real impact resistance that protects your roof in severe weather. Many insurers recognize this top classification and offer premium discounts on metal roofs compared to asphalt shingles, which dent and puncture easily. The Guardian warranty even covers hail damage specifically. While Zillah's annual wind gusts reach about 87 km/h, hail events are less frequent here than in higher-elevation regions—but when they occur, your roof's documented impact strength and warranty give you peace of mind and potential cost savings on premiums.
How much upkeep does an Interlock metal roof require versus asphalt or tile?
Metal roofing requires virtually no maintenance—no algae treatment, no shingle replacement, no wood repair. Unlike asphalt shingles (which degrade visibly within 15–20 years), Interlock aluminum panels resist weathering, UV exposure, and biological growth indefinitely. With Zillah's 336 mm annual rainfall and 3,478 sunshine hours, asphalt roofs require frequent inspections and repairs; metal roofs simply shed water and debris. The Alunar coating is factory-applied and warranted 30 years against chalking and fading, so repainting is never needed. Traditional tile roofs crack and require replacement—metal tile profiles never do. You gain a maintenance-free roof that ends the asphalt replacement cycle.
How much does a metal roof cost versus asphalt over its lifetime?
Over the roof's lifetime, metal roofing is the lowest-cost option—it's your last roof. While the upfront price exceeds asphalt, the lifespan math is decisive: asphalt roofs last 15–25 years and require tear-off and landfill disposal (expensive and wasteful); Interlock's Guardian warranty is lifetime limited, non-prorated for the original owner. If you live in your home 30+ years, asphalt will need replacement; your metal roof will not. The current regional promotion—no payments and no interest until Spring 2027, or 10% off installation—makes this the ideal time to invest. Over a 40-year ownership span, one metal roof costs far less than two or three asphalt roofs, plus avoids multiple contractor visits and roof-off downtime.
Will a metal roof reduce my cooling costs in Zillah's sunny climate?
Metal roofs with reflective coatings measurably reduce cooling costs by bouncing solar heat away rather than absorbing it into your home. Interlock's energy-efficient colors achieve thermal emissivity of 0.84 and solar reflectance up to 0.55, meaning they reflect the heat that dark asphalt absorbs. Zillah enjoys approximately 3,478 sunshine hours annually—abundant solar exposure where reflectance matters. Cool Roof Rating Council certification confirms this performance in third-party testing. The lighter thermal load reduces air-conditioning runtime, especially during summer peak demand. While Zillah's winters are cold, the non-combustible aluminum never compromises insulation, and the energy savings build over decades. energy-efficiency qualification recognizes the measurable reduction in cooling energy.
How long does installation take, and can you install over my existing roof?
Installation timelines vary by roof size, typically 3–7 days for a standard residential home. Interlock Metal Roofing (PNW) Inc., serving this region since 1997, handles local scheduling and has extensive experience with Yakima County conditions. Yes, the lightweight design (Slate at 0.41 lb/sq ft) allows installation directly over most existing asphalt or wood shingles—no tear-off required, which saves labor and eliminates the landfill cost of old roofing. The four-way interlocking aluminum panels lock together securely, meeting ICC-ES ESR-1790 standards for IBC/IRC compliance. Your installer will confirm your existing structure can accommodate the new roof; in almost all Zillah homes, no reinforcement is needed. Installation over existing roof means your home stays protected and clean throughout the project.
What's the actual lifespan of a metal roof, and what does the warranty cover?
The Guardian warranty is lifetime limited, non-prorated for the original owner, covering rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance—the exact failures that end asphalt and wood roofs. Aluminum's inherent durability, proven through 25+ years of manufacturing (since 1998 in Delta, BC) and installation from coastal salt air to Antarctica, demonstrates real longevity. The warranty is one-time transferable to the next owner for 50 years from completion, making your roof a lasting asset. No time limit means your roof is protected for decades of Zillah's rainfall (336 mm annually), freeze-thaw cycles (101 per year), and wind gusts (to 87 km/h). This non-prorated protection stands apart from asphalt warranties, which decline in coverage year by year. You own a roof that lasts your lifetime and beyond.
Is a metal roof a good choice for Zillah’s climate?
Yes. Zillah averages about 112 cm of snow, 336 mm of rain, roughly 101 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 87 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.
