An Idaho roof takes spring and summer thunderstorms, wildfire smoke and embers in a dry August, winter snow, and months of freezing nights followed by sunny days. Here is what an Interlock® aluminum roof does about each.
Hail
Hail comes with Treasure Valley thunderstorms: on June 26, 2026 a storm left several inches of small hail on the ground in northwest Meridian. Interlock's Slate, Cedar Shingle, Shake and Mediterranean Tile profiles carry a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating, verified by Intertek for Delta Building Products. Hail can still mark a metal roof; what matters is that the panels stay locked and watertight.
Wildfire
Idaho's Ready, Set, Go! wildfire guide calls the roof the most vulnerable part of a home, because windblown embers land and lodge there. Aluminum does not burn, there are no shake grooves or granules for embers to settle into, and Interlock offers Class A Fire Rated Available, as a complete assembly.
Snow
Installed, Interlock panels weigh about 0.41 to 0.59 lb per square foot depending on profile (ICC-ES ESR-1790), a fraction of concrete tile or natural slate. Smooth aluminum lets snow slide, so we plan snow guards over entries, decks and driveways at the estimate. Ice damming comes from attic heat loss and is a stated exclusion of the material warranty; we look at insulation and ventilation with you.
Freeze–thaw
Southwest Idaho winters swing between freezing nights and sunny afternoons. Water that soaks into wood shakes or works under asphalt tabs freezes and expands. Aluminum absorbs no water and cannot rot, and Interlock panels lock to each other on all four sides with the fasteners concealed under the panel above.
Wind
Storm fronts and canyon winds work at loose tabs, lifted shakes and exposed screw heads. Interlock panels interlock on all four sides and are fastened where the weather can't reach. Wind resistance is warranted to 120 mph when installed to manufacturer specification.
Summer sun
Boise summers are hot, dry and bright. The Alunar® finish uses pigments that reflect much of the sun's near-infrared energy: solar reflectance from 0.25 to 0.55 depending on color and thermal emittance of 0.84. Interlock roofs can cut cooling-energy use by up to 25% compared with conventional dark roofing; actual savings vary. The Alunar® finish is warranted for 30 years.
Our office is in Boise, at 3295 W Elder St. Boise homes range from North End and East End older houses to foothills homes above Hulls Gulch and newer subdivisions in southeast and west Boise.
Homes along the Boise Foothills sit in the wildland-urban interface. Boise's fire code asks for a Class A roof on ignition-resistant construction there, including when a roof is replaced. Interlock offers Class A Fire Rated Available, as a complete assembly.
Boise has historic districts with their own design review. Check with the City of Boise's historic preservation staff before you choose a profile and color; we bring samples and product documents to that conversation.
Boise, Meridian and Nampa require a building permit to re-roof; elsewhere, ask your city. We pull the permit as part of the job and build to the code your city enforces.
West and south of Boise in Ada County: Meridian's subdivisions, Eagle's larger lots and hillside homes, Star along the Boise River and Kuna to the south.
Many Treasure Valley subdivisions have CC&Rs and an architectural committee that approves roof material and color. Get that approval in writing before you sign; we supply the profile, color and spec sheets the committee asks for.
Spring and summer thunderstorms bring hail to the valley. Four Interlock profiles carry a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating, verified by Intertek for Delta Building Products.
Boise, Meridian and Nampa require a building permit to re-roof; elsewhere, ask your city. We pull the permit as part of the job and build to the code your city enforces.
Canyon County: Nampa and Caldwell, older neighborhoods near their downtowns, and acreage homes out in the farmland between them.
Homes on open ground take the full force of storm fronts. Interlock panels lock on four sides with the fasteners concealed; wind resistance is warranted to 120 mph when installed to manufacturer specification.
Long, hot, dry summers bake asphalt shingles. The Alunar® finish reflects much of the sun's near-infrared energy in every color, and it is warranted for 30 years.
Idaho registers contractors through the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL). Look up any roofer before you sign; ours is General Contractor Registration #6181938.
Southwest Idaho comes first. Elsewhere in Idaho, from the mountain towns to the Magic Valley, eastern Idaho and North Idaho, call us and ask: we will tell you plainly whether we can schedule your roof.
Mountain towns carry far heavier design snow loads than the valley. Your building department sets the load for your address; the University of Idaho's ground snow load study is the reference many use.
Much of Idaho's forested country is wildland-urban interface. A roof that does not burn, with no shake grooves for embers to lodge in, is the first line of defense.

Homes and beyond
The same interlocking aluminum system goes on a family home, a townhouse complex or a church. Idaho roofs we quote:
Antarctica · U.S. National Science Foundation
Interlock® standing seam roofing and Black Diamond siding on six SPOT modules that travel between McMurdo Station and the South Pole, in temperatures down to −60 °F and winds up to 100 mph. More than 32,000 completed Interlock® roofs across North America, and these at the bottom of the world.
The Antarctica project ↗The collection
The look belongs to your home. The performance belongs to the metal. Every profile needs a minimum 3/12 roof slope.
A composed silhouette
The formal character of slate at a fraction of the weight, in aluminum that cannot rust.
Familiar warmth
The look of a cedar roof, with nothing to rot, split or take on water in the grain.
Deep shadow lines
Hand-split texture and depth: the usual replacement when a cedar shake roof has had its last re-treatment.
Sculpted, not heavy
The barrel-tile silhouette without the weight of concrete or clay.
Clean lines
Clean vertical lines for a modern home or a cabin, in the same aluminum.
A living metal
Copper weathers over time. Usually a bay, a porch or a turret rather than a whole house.

Boise and the Treasure Valley first; elsewhere in Idaho, ask us.

Why this system, in Idaho
Hail

Interlock's Slate, Cedar Shingle, Shake and Mediterranean Tile profiles carry a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating, verified by Intertek for Delta Building Products, and the panels lock to each other on all four sides with the fasteners concealed.
Wildfire
Idaho's Ready, Set, Go! guide calls the roof the most vulnerable part of a home in a wildfire, because windblown embers lodge there. Aluminum does not burn, and an Interlock roof is Class A Fire Rated Available, as a complete assembly; in Boise's wildland-urban interface areas, the city's fire code asks for a Class A roof on ignition-resistant construction.
Snow and freeze–thaw
A roof in Idaho sees snow, ice and long runs of freezing nights and sunny afternoons. Aluminum absorbs no water, so there is nothing for freeze–thaw to split, and smooth panels shed snow; we plan snow guards wherever a slide would land on an entry, deck or driveway. Ice damming comes from attic heat loss and is a stated exclusion of the material warranty.

The installation is covered by our 10 Year Limited Labor Warranty (Form 5335), the same certificate we issue in Oregon and Washington.
Sometimes. A single layer of asphalt can be roofed over only if an inspection finds it suitable; cedar shingles and shakes, concrete tile and natural slate always come off first. Your city may limit the number of roof layers too, so we check both at the estimate.
