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 Token Creek

The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Token Creek, 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 Token Creek.

How does a metal roof handle Token Creek's snow and ice buildup?

Interlock's four-way interlocking aluminum panels shed snow and ice efficiently because the smooth, hard surface provides no grip for accumulation, unlike asphalt shingles. Token Creek averages about 89 cm of snow annually with roughly 84 freeze-thaw cycles per year, creating conditions where ice damming is a real risk. The metal's thermal conductivity helps prevent ice dams at the eave, and optional snow guards (installed during setup) keep heavy sloughs away from walkways. Aluminum's non-corrosive properties also mean freeze-thaw cycling won't degrade the material like it does asphalt or wood.

Why don't aluminum metal roofs rust like steel ones?

Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron—rust requires iron to form. Instead, aluminum develops a thin, invisible oxide layer when exposed to air, and this layer self-heals when scratched. In Token Creek's wet climate with about 781 mm of annual rainfall, that self-healing property is a genuine advantage. Steel roofs require protective coatings that degrade over time; aluminum's corrosion resistance is inherent to the material itself. Interlock uses roofing-grade 3105-H24 and 3003-H24 aluminum alloy per ASTM B209, plus a Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish on both panel sides for added durability in moisture-rich environments.

Will freeze-thaw cycling in Wisconsin damage an aluminum metal roof?

No. Aluminum expands and contracts with temperature swings, but it does so uniformly and predictably—the material doesn't become brittle, split, or lose structural integrity through freeze-thaw cycles. Token Creek experiences roughly 84 freeze-thaw days per year, a genuine challenge for asphalt (which hardens and cracks) and wood (which splits). Aluminum's crystal structure actually strengthens under stress cycling. The Alunar coating warranty covers 30 years against chalking and fading (ASTM D4214 and D2244), meaning the finish itself resists degradation from Wisconsin's temperature swings. This is why Interlock has successfully installed roofs from coastal salt-air homes to an Antarctic research station.

Can my older Token Creek home support a metal tile roof without reinforcement?

Yes—and that's the weight advantage that changes everything. Interlock's Mediterranean Tile profile installs at approximately 0.59 pounds per square foot, making it roughly 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile. Most existing roof structures in Token Creek can handle this additional load without costly reinforcement, which would add thousands to your budget. For context, Interlock's Slate profile weighs just 0.41 lb/sq ft. This light weight also means the metal roof doesn't accelerate structural wear the way a traditional slate or tile roof would, and installation typically completes faster because crews aren't managing the weight challenges that make heavy materials risky on older homes.

How well does an interlocking metal roof resist Wisconsin wind gusts?

Interlock's four-way interlocking aluminum panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph, well above Token Creek's typical gust patterns. Local wind data shows average gusts around 20 km/h with extreme gusts recorded near 104 km/h (roughly 65 mph)—solid wind, but within the roof's rated capacity by a comfortable margin. The interlocking design means each panel is mechanically locked to its neighbors on all four sides, distributing wind load across the entire roof system rather than relying on fasteners alone. This engineering also meets ICC-ES evaluation ESR-1790 (IBC/IRC, reissued 2025), confirming compliance with Wisconsin building code wind requirements for the region.

Does a metal roof reduce hail damage and insurance costs in Token Creek?

Interlock achieves UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the Guardian Warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches, which protects you beyond what most homeowner policies require. While severe hail is not a primary Token Creek climate threat given annual rainfall of about 781 mm spread across the year, the Class 4 rating means your roof handles unexpected severe weather without the punctures, dents, or leaks that damage asphalt or wood. Some insurers offer discounts for impact-rated metal roofing; contact your provider to confirm. The real benefit here is resilience: a metal roof shrugs off the hail events that would require costly asphalt repairs.

Do metal roofs actually reduce cooling costs in Wisconsin?

energy-efficient colors reflect solar heat rather than absorbing it like dark asphalt, lowering cooling costs during Token Creek's approximately 3089 annual sunshine hours. Interlock's Aged Copper Penny finish, for example, has initial solar reflectance up to 0.55 and thermal emissivity of 0.84, metrics rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council. While Token Creek's mean temperature of 9.1°C keeps cooling loads modest compared to southern climates, summer peak temperatures still justify heat reflection—especially as air conditioning runs longer. The metal roof's reflective coating also means less radiant heat entering your attic space, reducing the strain on HVAC equipment year-round and complementing Wisconsin's energy efficiency standards.

What does Interlock's lifetime warranty actually cover?

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—the failure modes that plague asphalt and wood. It's also one-time transferable to the next owner with a 50-year term from completion. Non-prorated means if a panel fails at year 20, you're not charged a depreciation fee; you get a replacement. Given Token Creek's 84 annual freeze-thaw cycles and approximately 89 cm of snow, these specific coverage areas (cracking, curling, impact loss) address real Wisconsin wear patterns. The transferability also adds resale appeal, signaling to buyers that the roof won't be their first major expense.

How much maintenance does an Interlock metal roof need?

Minimal—periodic cleaning and gutter maintenance, that's it. Unlike asphalt shingles (which require granule replacement and algae treatment every few years) or wood shakes (which need staining and splitting repairs), aluminum doesn't degrade from weathering. Token Creek's 781 mm annual rainfall may leave some mineral streaks or pollen accumulation, but a gentle rinse every couple of years keeps it clean. The Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish is warrantied 30 years against chalking and fading, meaning the coat won't dull or thin. You're essentially buying a roof that doesn't fail, doesn't rot, doesn't split—just sits there protecting your home through Wisconsin's 84 freeze-thaw days per year without demanding your attention.

Is an aluminum metal roof actually better for the environment than asphalt?

Yes, structurally and materially. Aluminum is approximately 95% recyclable at end of life, meaning a 50-year or lifetime roof eventually feeds back into the metal supply chain. Asphalt shingles, by contrast, end the tear-off-and-landfill cycle—millions of tons annually. Interlock roofs manufactured since 1998 in Delta, BC use recycled aluminum content and eliminate the disposal problem entirely. Token Creek's building and demolition waste streams benefit when homeowners retire asphalt in favor of a metal roof that won't need replacement. The lighter weight (your Slate profile at 0.41 lb/sq ft) also reduces transportation emissions compared to hauling heavy slate or tile. CALGreen verification confirms the maintenance reduction benefit—less frequent repairs mean fewer contractor trips and lower embodied impact over the roof's life.

Is a metal roof a good choice for Token Creek’s climate?

Yes. Token Creek averages about 89 cm of snow, 781 mm of rain, roughly 84 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 104 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.
