Review: July 20, 2016Completion: June 9, 2016

Hello Greg, I just had to drop you a line to tell you how pleased we are with the Interlock Roofing System that was installed last week. I have to admit that as good as I was hoping it would look, it turned out to be so much better than I had even hoped. We couldn’t be prouder of how our house looks now; the new roof is visually stunning. We can now breathe a huge sigh of relief, knowing that we’ll never again have to go out into the yard and pick up the pieces of asphalt shingles that would blow off of the roof after a storm or a high wind day. To boot, the very day after the roof was completed, we had someone who identified himself only as “your nosy neighbor from 10 miles down the road,” who stopped, knocked on our door and started asking questions about the roof. He was shocked to hear that it was a metal roof. He thought that we had installed a slate roof! He was very interested to hear all the facts about the roof, and suddenly I became Interlock Roofing’s most avid salesman. I brought out your business card so that he could take a picture of it with his cell phone, and he said he’d be contacting you soon. I’ve also been talking about the roof with some of the guys at work who had seen the before and after pictures that I brought in, and I’m sure that you will be hearing from some of them in the future too. Now, as much as I couldn’t be happier with contacting you and doing business with you, I have to tell you that even you will have to take a back seat to the super awesome job of your installers, Jesse and his team. To say we were blown away by these guys would be the understatement of the century. They came in like a whirlwind and started doing their thing and made astounding progress in such a short period of time, it blew us away. Jesse himself is such a great face to have attached to your company. He is professional, knowledgeable, and so personable that we knew in an instant that we were in good hands with him and his team. All of his team members were that way, and honestly, the hardest working group of guys that you will ever witness. We expected it to take anywhere from 5 days to a week to get our whole roof done. These guys had it done in 2 days and a couple of hours, and they left no stone unturned in doing the A-1 job that was promised. They even fixed a couple of cosmetic items on our existing siding to boot! What a great bunch of guys. And let me reiterate one more time,…Interlock, as a company, should feel confident and proud to have Jesse and his team representing them. I’m positive you will never find a better team to install your product than them. Again, thank you for the product and the work that you’ve done. You now have not only a very satisfied customer in us, but you also have a couple of very enthusiastic ambassadors for Interlock Roofing Systems.

Review: June 17, 2017Completion: February 17, 2017

I have made, and continuously still make, numerous recommendations to family & friends to install a Interlock roof. And, I have produced pictures on demand that I stored on my smart phone. If possible, I would be appreciative if I could get the drone footage that Jesse had taken after the finishing of the installation. I believe it would be a great selling point coming from a true customer to help propel the Interlock name. There are just a couple areas on the roof that the installation crew could have touched-on during the installation, but overall the roof looks simply amazing. Quality certainly displays the professionalism the installers had put into their work. Since the installation of our new roof, we have received numerous compliments from many of our neighbors that walk around our subdivision, plus a handful of neighbors in the adjoining subdivisions. Many questions have been asked with many answers given. We are definitely happy with our new Interlock roof. We have NOT once questioned or second guessed our decision to install an Interlock roof. It is one of the best decisions we have ever made for re-investing in our home...Thank you, Interlock!

Review: June 8, 2008Completion: November 30, 2007

I never really thought I could be thrilled about a roof, but I have to tell you; our new Interlock roof is beautiful! It adds true elegance to our home. We know it adds value as well, and the fact that we will never need to re-roof again is a definite advantage. Everyone within our organization, from the initial phone contact to the installation crew, was courteous and pleasant to work with. The install went smoothly and the crew kept the site clean from beginning to end. Everybody we have shown our Interlock roof to has seemed quite impressed also. We would (and in fact have already done so) recommend Interlock Roofing to others.

Review: July 20, 2016Completion: November 13, 2008

Excellent roof! Looks good! The installers were courteous and professional. Put the tarp all around the house and kept the site very clean. I was impressed with their super service. They bent over backward to please us. The A-Team of Roofing! When it rains, it is NOT any louder, and we are in a wind zone, and shingles have not blown off, and we have had the roof since 2008. The snow slides off, too! And the salesman knows his product and explains it well. It will add value to the house. Unlike asphalt, that's like tar and paper, and doesn't hold up. The Interlock Lifetime Roof is super durable!d Greg Weber the salesman, knows his product and explains it well. It will add value to the house. Unlike asphalt, that’s like tar and paper and doesn’t hold up. The Interlock Lifetime Roof is super durable!

Review: May 17, 2017Completion: August 10, 2009

We purchased our roof in 2009 and as you can see from the pictures taken in May of 2017, our roof looks as new as the day we bought it. Here are the things we have noticed most about our Interlock Lifetime Roof over the last 8 years. It keeps our house much cooler in the summer than the asphalt roof we used to have. It really sheds snow, and the snow guards work great. We never need to use a snow rake. We love the durability and the curb appeal. Greg Weber our representative, who we were enthused to learn, is still with the company. When we saw him in 2009 he laid out all the variables in a professional way and our Interlock Roof has lived up to all of our expectations and promises he made. All companies promise results, service, and quality. Interlock delivers.

Review: May 16, 2017Completion: July 31, 2008

The installation was super smooth. Every installer was courteous and professional. We get lots of compliments, and people stop by all the time to admire it. One of the biggest misconceptions about metal roofing is people think it’s loud. Our Interlock roof is very silent. The only way I know if it’s raining is if I look out a window. Also, the snow just slides off. We are also in a wind tunnel area, and we have never lost an Interlock shingle, and we have had the roof for many years. We were so pleased with our Interlock roof that we put the same roof on our lake home in northern Wisconsin. We get a lot more snow up there and the Interlock’s snow-shedding performance capabilities are second to none on that roof, too!

★★★★★
Review: April 10, 2017Completion: March 17, 2015

I love the roof! It looks great, and the squirrels that we’re crawling all over my old asphalt roof slide right off it. The snow slides off, too. I hope to get some $500 referrals. The crew was terrific, hardworking, courteous, polite, and clean.

Review: April 23, 2009Completion: May 5, 2008

Drip, drip, drip. This is not a sound you want to hear at 3:30 am… in bed… coming from your attic… in the dead of winter. A quick peek in the attic confirmed my worst fears, the ice dam on the roof was allowing melted water to seep through the crappy asphalt shingles and into the house. We called a local contractor and had the ice dam removed, but this didn’t fix the underlying problem that our current roof was cheap and damaged. My wife and I moved into a beautiful three-story brick Tudor on Madison’s near west side in the fall of 06′. It was perfect in that it had been beautifully remodeled with gorgeous woodwork, marble, and stunning attention to detail, with the exception of the roof. We had decided that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this was the house we were going to stay in until retirement, so why not invest in a metal roof. After a couple of weeks of research and interviewing, we settled on Interlock. Part of the choice was made on the quality of the product, and part was made on the salesmanship of the rep, Chuck. Work started and except for some problems with the weather, things progressed smoothly. We were especially impressed with the steps the crew took in regard to safety, and our stay-at-home neighbor told us about how exciting the crew was, “you’re definitely getting your money's worth,” was her exact quote. At the end of the job, the crew even emptied all the trash we had pulled out of the attic for us. Now that’s service! After everything is said and done, we’ve been able to cap off our gorgeous house with an equally gorgeous roof.

Review: April 16, 2026Completion: February 20, 2009

I had Interlock put on a beautiful red slate roof 17 years ago.The roof still looks beautiful. 5 years ago, I had them also re-roof my garage with the same type of slate. The roofs look gorgeous and I have no maintenance whatsoever.I get complements all the time. The guy whom I contracted with was named "Tim' but has since died. He was a really nice guy. Back in 2009, the roof was much cheaper. ( I actually paid more for the garage 5 years ago!) I am extremely happy with the roofs. The guys did a wonderful job, replacing rotted boards where necessary. They also told me about very cheap gutters I could buy at Menards instead of those ridiculously - priced "special" gutter systems. I bought them and they placed them on my buildings.This home will go to my daughter one day; I do not want her to have to lift a finger. Note that I had an asphalt roof previously. It lasted only 12 years. The shingles curled up under the sun and cracked. They looked terrible. I can honestly say that these metals roofs by Interlock are very much worth what you pay for them. They will last a lifetime with almost no maintenance. Instead of replacing a roof every 15 years and paying lots for asphalt or fiberglass, their metal roofs last very long and you will never have to re- roof again.

Review: May 16, 2017Completion: September 24, 2014

Dear Interlock Lifetime Roofing Systems: We purchased our Interlock Lifetime Roof in June 2014. We are very happy with the look, durability of the material, and finish. After a snowfall, the heat of the sun will warm the roof and allow the snow to shed from the roof. We have a great sense of security, knowing it can withstand higher winds than conventional asphalt. In fact, our neighbors lost many shingles in the last major wind storm, and our Interlock roof proved to be the high wind resistance product it is with all shingles intact. We love the fact it’s more reliable and has peace of mind knowing it has lots of longevity and will look brand new not only now but down the road. We also received a discount on our homeowner’s insurance. Overall, we were very satisfied with our sales representative Greg Weber, the company, the service, and the product.

Review: May 10, 2017Completion: March 20, 2017

In March 2017 we had an Interlock Lifetime Roof installed. Greg Weber, the salesman, was not pushy. We were very impressed with his salesmanship and the product. He also offered to have the Interlock product put on our wishing well in the front yard. That was something we really appreciated. The clean-up was excellent! Many neighbors and people who " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">walk by the house have noticed the roof and asked a lot of questions. We have gotten lots of compliments!

★★★★★
Review: April 10, 2017Completion: February 23, 2017

The Interlock crew was able to take some extra time to coordinate with another contractor for solar installation. As a result, the final the result looks great and very functional. The materials used are very high quality, and they worked efficiently and cleaned up when finished.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Powers Lake Estates

The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Powers Lake Estates, Wisconsin. 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 Powers Lake Estates.

Will a metal roof handle Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles better than asphalt?

Yes. Aluminum expands and contracts with temperature swings, but unlike asphalt shingles that crack and curl after Powers Lake's roughly 83 freeze-thaw days per year, aluminum has no binder to degrade. The 3105-H24 alloy maintains structural integrity across repeated cycling. Asphalt absorbs moisture, then fractures when that water freezes; aluminum sheds water immediately and its oxide layer self-heals from micro-scratches caused by thermal stress. After 25+ years of exposure to this climate pattern, asphalt typically requires replacement—Interlock's Guardian Warranty covers cracking for the life of the original owner.

Do metal roofs handle heavy snow loads in Wisconsin?

Metal roofs handle snow loads well, though the weight of snow itself isn't the issue—it's what happens after. Powers Lake averages about 120 cm of snow yearly. Metal's smooth, slippery surface sheds meltwater faster than asphalt, reducing ice dam formation that traps water behind gutters and causes interior leaks. The four-way interlocking panels are warranted to resist wind gusts up to 100 km/h, so they won't fail if snow loads shift suddenly. You can add optional snow guards if aesthetics or local codes require it. The key advantage: aluminum won't develop the soft spots and rot seams that make asphalt-shingled roofs vulnerable to ice-dam damage.

Can an aluminum metal roof rust in Wisconsin's wet climate?

Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron. Steel roofing oxidizes in the presence of moisture; aluminum's oxide layer forms instantly and self-heals when scratched. In Kenosha County's moist climate with about 838 mm of annual rainfall, this is a critical difference. Even coastal installations—where salt air corrodes steel aggressively—have performed flawlessly since Interlock began manufacturing in 1998. Interlock's Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish, applied to both sides of the panel and warranted 30 years against chalking, adds a second barrier. Your roof will outlast the building's structure long before corrosion becomes a concern.

Does an aluminum metal roof require structural reinforcement?

No. Interlock's Mediterranean Tile profile installs at roughly 0.59 lb/sq ft—about 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile. Your home's existing framing can support it without modification. Even the Shake profile at 0.58 lb/sq ft imposes minimal load. This light weight becomes especially valuable in Wisconsin, where the combination of about 120 cm of annual snow plus gusts to 100 km/h creates dynamic loads that heavy roofing materials amplify. Aluminum distributes load evenly across the structure; installers can often apply it directly over an existing asphalt roof, eliminating the cost and landfill impact of tear-off. The four-way interlocking panels clamp load forces and transfer them efficiently to the frame.

Will a metal roof blow off in Wisconsin windstorms?

No. Interlock's four-way interlocking aluminum panels are warranted to resist winds up to 120 mph (193 km/h). Powers Lake Estates experiences typical daily-max winds around 19 km/h with gusts to 100 km/h—well below that threshold. The interlocking profile means each panel is mechanically fastened to its neighbors; uplift forces distribute across the entire roof rather than concentrating on fasteners. This system has been tested to UL standards and holds ICC-ES evaluation ESR-1790 for compliance with current building codes. During storms that damage asphalt roofs, metal roofs remain intact—a fact your insurer may recognize with a discount on wind coverage.

Is an aluminum metal roof damaged by hail?

Interlock metal roofing carries a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the Guardian Warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Wisconsin experiences hail events, and when they occur, asphalt shingles fracture and lose granules permanently. Aluminum's alloy (3105-H24 / 3003-H24) dents but doesn't crack; minor dents do not compromise water-shedding or structural performance. Many homeowners report that insurers offer premium reductions for Class 4-rated metal roofing, partially offsetting installation cost. Request a hail impact discount quote when you file your roofing project with your carrier—you may find the economics shift in Interlock's favor immediately.

Is a metal roof fire-resistant?

Yes. Aluminum is non-combustible and Interlock offers Class A fire rating availability. This matters in Kenosha County, where wildfire risk and home insurance costs are influenced by roofing material. Asphalt shingles are petroleum-based and will burn; metal does not. Class A roofing reduces homeowner insurance premiums in many regions and may qualify your home for CALGreen-verified reduced-maintenance status. When you combine non-combustibility with metal's durability through Wisconsin's 83 annual freeze-thaw cycles and about 838 mm of rain, you're choosing a roof that won't require replacement for decades—and fire risk won't be part of that calculation.

Is a metal roof worth the cost over the long run?

Yes. Asphalt requires replacement every 15–20 years; Interlock's Guardian Warranty is lifetime limited for the original owner and one-time transferable, giving the next owner 50 years from completion. Over a 50-year span, you'll replace asphalt three times; metal requires no replacement. Factor in that Wisconsin's approximately 3,084 annual sunshine hours and reflective coatings (initial solar reflectance up to 0.55) reduce cooling costs, and that you can install over an existing roof—eliminating a $2,000–$5,000 tear-off. Insurance discounts for hail and fire resistance add more savings. The upfront cost premium is recovered in avoided replacements, reduced energy, and transferable value that appeals to the next buyer.

What maintenance does a metal roof need in Wisconsin?

Minimal. Aluminum doesn't rot, split, curl, or require resealing like asphalt or wood shakes. With about 838 mm of annual rain and 120 cm of snow, your roof self-cleans through water runoff and melt cycles. Gutters need the same seasonal clearing as with any roof. The Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish is warranted 30 years against chalking and fading, so repainting is optional—not mandatory. Leaves and debris accumulate less on metal's smooth surface than on asphalt's granular texture. Compare this to wood shakes, which demand annual inspection and regular sealing in humid climates, or tile, which requires mortar and flashing repairs. Interlock's non-porous aluminum and interlocking profile design eliminate the maintenance cycle that drains budgets over decades.

Is aluminum roofing better for the environment than asphalt?

Yes. Aluminum is approximately 95% recyclable; when your roof eventually reaches end of life, it enters the scrap metal stream for remanufacturing into new products. Asphalt shingles are not recyclable and contribute billions of pounds to landfills annually. Wisconsin's annual rainfall of about 838 mm and 83 freeze-thaw cycles mean asphalt roofs fail faster here than in drier climates, accelerating that waste cycle. Interlock's lightweight design also allows installation over existing roofs, eliminating tear-off waste entirely in many cases. By choosing aluminum, you break the asphalt replacement treadmill and reduce your home's lifecycle environmental footprint. CALGreen-verified status recognizes this benefit in building certifications and resale appeal.

Is a metal roof a good choice for Powers Lake Estates’s climate?

Yes. Powers Lake Estates averages about 84 cm of snow, 838 mm of rain, roughly 83 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 100 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.
