Great system, and a great team. Victor, Daniel, and Patrick were very professional and thorough during the installation. The roof looks and performs great.

Metal Roofing in Wasco County, Oregon
Wasco County is Oregon's other climate: The Dalles sees a fraction of Portland's rain but nearly 50 freeze-thaw cycles a year, high-desert sun that cooks asphalt, and the east-Gorge wind that funnels past Rowena and Mosier. Aluminum is built for all three — the Alunar coating is warranted 30 years against UV, the metal doesn't care about freeze-thaw, and the interlocked panels lock on all four sides, with wind resistance warranted to 120 mph installed to manufacturer specification. CRRC-rated colors reflect summer heat, too.

Our job book records 14 completed Interlock® roofs in the Wasco County towns listed on this page, the first in 1999, the most in The Dalles, Mosier and Antelope. We serve the county from our Portland office.
THE NUMBERS THIS ROOF HAS TO SURVIVE
Ten-year averages for Wasco County: about 18 inches of rain and 22 inches of snow a year, a mean temperature near 54°F, gusts recorded to 52 mph, and roughly 48 freeze-thaw days. The last two decide how long a roof covering lasts here, and they are the two figures almost nobody quotes a homeowner.
RAINFALL — 18 INCHES, AND WHY THIS IS NOT THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY
Wasco County sits in the Cascade rain shadow and takes about 18 inches of rain a year against Tillamook's 81 on the coast. The moss problem that defines roofing west of the mountains is largely not your problem. Anyone selling you a roof here on a moss argument is reading from the valley script.
WHAT REPLACES IT — THERMAL CYCLING, 48 FREEZE-THAW DAYS
Freezing on its own does not damage a roof. Freezing and thawing does, and Wasco County crosses that line roughly 48 times a year. Every cycle drives water into a seam, expands it, and reopens it slightly wider. Interlock carries no sealant beads doing the waterproofing and no exposed gaskets to age, so there is nothing for that cycle to work on. On the dry side that cycle is paired with hard summer sun, so a covering is expanding and contracting through a wider annual range than anything in Portland sees. Interlock panels are engineered to move — the interlock accommodates expansion rather than fighting it, and no part of the waterproofing depends on a sealant that hardens with UV.
SNOWFALL — 22 INCHES, AND WHAT THE COVERING WEIGHS
Snow load is a structural question answered by your framing, not your roof covering. The Interlock covering adds about 0.7 lb per square foot — less than a second layer of asphalt would.

Crew was amazing, we had one main house roof and two porch roofs that needed to be done fast and before the rain and they handled it well! Our metal roof got finished in two days and they came back out again to clean up on the third day and wrap up everything. We highly recommend them and their service as everything turned out great! Edit: I forgot to mention, we worked with a few different people but I believe it was Patrick and his crew whom helped us
