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 Prairie Valley

The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Prairie Valley, 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 Prairie Valley.

How does a metal roof handle the snow loads we get in Prairie Valley?

Interlock metal roofing sheds snow effectively because aluminum's smooth surface and four-way interlocking panels don't trap moisture the way asphalt does. Prairie Valley averages about 88 cm of snow annually with roughly 79 freeze-thaw days per year, which means your roof cycles constantly between wet and frozen conditions. The ultralight construction—the Slate profile weighs just 0.41 lb/sq ft—eliminates the structural reinforcement asphalt homeowners sometimes need, while the interlocking design resists ice dam formation by promoting drainage. Unlike slate or concrete tile, you're not adding 10+ tons of dead weight to your framing while dealing with our seasonal swings.

Will aluminum hold up to freeze-thaw cycling?

Yes. Aluminum's oxide layer doesn't crack, split, or absorb water—the three failure modes of asphalt and wood in freeze-thaw climates. With about 79 freeze-thaw days per year in Prairie Valley and roughly 822 mm of annual rainfall, your roof faces constant expansion and contraction. Aluminum 3105-H24 alloy simply doesn't degrade under this stress because there's no iron in it to corrode and no porous surface to trap freeze-expanding ice. The Alunar 70% PVDF coating on both sides keeps the substrate sealed. You'll see asphalt roofs failing in our cold-wet winters; aluminum roofs installed 25 years ago still perform like new.

Can a metal roof actually stand up to our Wisconsin wind gusts?

Absolutely. Interlock panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to specification, and our local gusts top out around 96 km/h. The four-way interlocking system is the key: each panel locks on all sides—top, bottom, left, right—so wind pressure can't lift or separate them. Your roof moves as one integrated unit rather than individual shingles that catch wind like sails. That's why these roofs have held in hurricanes, nor'easters, and mountain winds for over 25 years. In Prairie Valley's typical wind climate, you're looking at a roof that'll outperform asphalt by decades.

Does metal roofing really resist hail, and could I save on insurance?

Interlock carries a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Class 4 is the hardest standard to achieve and the one insurers recognize for potential premium discounts. Because aluminum is non-combustible and rated Class A for fire, and because it requires minimal maintenance, some carriers offer lower rates. That said, always confirm with your own insurer before purchase. In Wisconsin's climate, with about 3,128 sunshine hours annually, hail events are possible but not frequent; a Class 4-rated roof gives you peace of mind that one storm won't wipe out a 50-year investment.

Why does the weight of the roofing material matter for my home?

Lighter materials mean your framing carries less permanent load, sometimes eliminating the need for costly structural reinforcement. Interlock's Mediterranean Tile profile weighs about 0.59 lb/sq ft—roughly 96% lighter than real concrete or clay tile—so it installs directly over most existing roofs without engineering work. Asphalt shingles run about 2–3 lb/sq ft; traditional slate runs 10–15 lb/sq ft. In Prairie Valley, where you get about 88 cm of snow annually, that base weight matters: a lighter roof means less total load during heavy snow events, and less stress on old joists and walls. You get the aesthetic of premium materials without the structural cost or risk.

How much maintenance will a metal roof actually need?

Metal roofing requires dramatically less maintenance than asphalt or wood. You won't be replacing missing or curled shingles every 5–10 years, and you won't face rot, splitting, or moss growth the way wooden shakes do. Interlock is CALGreen-verified for reduced maintenance. With about 822 mm of annual rain and typical Prairie Valley winds, occasional light debris clearing is all most homeowners do. The Alunar coating's 30-year fade warranty means color stays true without painting. Compare that to asphalt roofs that fail around year 15–20 in our freeze-thaw climate, or wooden roofs that need stripping and recoating every 10 years. You'll spend less time and money maintaining a metal roof over its life.

What does Interlock's warranty actually cover, and for how long?

The Guardian Warranty is a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for the original owner, covering rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance. That's remarkable because those are exactly the failure modes that plague asphalt and wood in Wisconsin's 79 freeze-thaw days per year. The warranty transfers once to the next owner for 50 years from completion, adding serious resale appeal. Non-prorated means there's no depreciation schedule—a legitimate defect is covered the same way in year 1 and year 40. Few roofing products back their claims this way. Combined with the 30-year Alunar coating warranty, you're looking at protection that matches or exceeds the roof's expected lifespan.

Will a metal roof help lower my cooling costs in summer?

Yes, if you choose an energy-efficient color. Interlock offers energy-efficiency-verified profiles with thermal emissivity up to 0.84 and solar reflectance up to 0.55 (in Aged Copper Penny, for example), rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council. These coatings reflect heat that asphalt absorbs. On Prairie Valley's roughly 3,128 sunshine hours per year, that difference compounds. You won't feel summer cooling savings the way coastal climates do, but in Wisconsin's warm months, a reflective metal roof measurably reduces attic temperature and HVAC runtime. Even modest cooling savings across a 50-year roof life justify the product choice, and you get the co-benefits: Class A fire rating, non-combustibility, and a roof that handles our freeze-thaw cycles without degrading.

Can a metal roof install go over my existing shingles, and how long does it take?

Yes, in most cases. The lightweight aluminum—as light as 0.41 lb/sq ft for the Slate profile—installs directly over most existing roofs without tear-off or structural work, saving labor and landfill waste. Installation typically takes 1–3 days depending on roof size and complexity. Removing old asphalt before installing traditional slate or tile adds weeks and thousands in disposal; metal avoids that. Interlock has been installed since 1998 from coastal salt-air homes to Antarctic research stations, so crews know how to handle variable substrates. Your local Interlock installer, serving the region since 2001, can assess your roof in person and confirm whether over-installation is feasible. Most Prairie Valley homes can proceed without costly decking work.

Is metal roofing actually better for the environment than asphalt?

Yes. Aluminum roofing is about 95% recyclable at end of life, and the lightness means no structural waste from reinforcement work. More important: it eliminates the asphalt tear-off-to-landfill cycle that burns through resources every 15–20 years. A typical Wisconsin home sheds 10+ tons of asphalt waste per tear-off; multiply that across thousands of roofs in Prairie Valley over 50 years, and metal roofing's environmental case is clear. You install once, typically over your existing roof, and the material outlasts 2–3 cycles of asphalt replacement. Aluminum's non-combustible, Class A rating also means no volatile off-gassing in landfills. It's a one-roof-for-life choice that sidesteps decades of disposal impact.

Is a metal roof a good choice for Prairie Valley’s climate?

Yes. Prairie Valley averages about 88 cm of snow, 822 mm of rain, roughly 79 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 96 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.
