The answer

There is no harm in building on the roof of your father's house, whether he gifted you the roof or you paid him compensation for it. It is not forbidden for the father to benefit from a house built with an interest-based loan, because the prohibition of the loan pertains to his own responsibility, not to the specific item for which it was used. He must hasten to repent.
