Review: May 3, 2006Completion: April 21, 2006

Dear Interlock: I am writing to tell you how delighted I am with my new Interlock roof. The dark red color complements the historic features of this 1870 house, and the material is most appropriate for a house of this vintage. I also want you to know how pleased I am with the job that the installer did. The foreman. Rick Ortiz, and his workers, Wilden Perez, Juan Carlos Cordero, and Ruben Alvarenda, were a pleasure to work with. I didn't realize until I watched them work how complicated my roof is, with all its intersecting dormers, porches, hidden valleys and bay windows. They worked very skillfully and carefully to waterproof all these vulnerable edges, and did an excellent job. They were especially neat, cleaning up each day and overall at the end. Thank you Interlock for a great job!

Review: April 17, 2006Completion: October 27, 2005

I had my roof done by Interlock Roofing and I want to say that it is very good. The snow does not stay on the roof. This winter I look at other homes in my neighborhood and found that my roof was the first to be free of snow! I am happy about that. Many people have asked about roof They like the way it looks, so they stop to see what kind it is. All I can say is "It Works for Me!"

Review: May 12, 2005Completion: December 20, 2005

My husband and I would like to commend you, your organization, and the workers hired to install our new roof. We are not only delighted with how it has enhanced the look of our property, but also how it has helped with our heating costs this winter. Everything you told us at the time of the sale has come true: It certainly has enhanced the look of our property - we get people stopping to look and question almost every day, It was completed on time by workers who were not only fast, but quite meticulous with the work they performed. We will be receiving a $5OO check within two weeks to reward us for keeping an Interlock sign on our property which promoted the sale of another roof to a neighbor. Your continuous contact during and after to ensure our satisfaction. Again, Thanks

Review: November 15, 2024Completion: November 19, 2024

It was a pleasure working with Interlock from beginning to end. The back office was good about setting expectations for job start and duration, delivery of materials (which happened on time) and work to be performed. They were also good about making adjustments to work with trim that needed to be replaced, etc. The crew that did the install and cleanup was very professional and hard working. I am extremely satisfied with the end result and would definitely recommend Interlock! This is actually my second roof, I had one installed on a different property 20 years ago and it has held the test of time with virtually no maintenance.

Review: July 31, 2005Completion: July 29, 2005

I am writing to share how pleased I am with my Interlock Roof. When the original presentation was made, I knew I was getting a premium roof, but I had no idea the finished product would be so beautiful. I was also quite impressed with the installers. They were pleasant, respectful, conscientious, and courteous. As you may recall, my ">roof was one that required the old roof be removed because the original roof was wood shakes which were covered by at least 3 layers of asphalt. Those men gave 110% each and every day of the 14 days it took them to remove the original roof, replace it with plywood, and then install the Interlock roof. Many of those days were very " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">hot and humid, but that didn't seem to have any effect on them. They would work from early in the morning until after 6 or 7 PM, always cleaning the yard before they left for the day. It amazed me that they were so thorough in their cleanup each day that I could have used my yard for entertaining in the evening. I would encourage anyone with questions about whether Interlock delivers what they promise to contact me directly. I would be more than happy to answer questions by phone or in person, if someone wants to schedule a time to come by the house. Interlock stood by their commitment to insure I was satisfied with the work and end product. Choosing Interlock was a decision I'm glad I made. Thanks again!

Review: January 3, 2003Completion: September 30, 2005

I just wanted to take a moment to commend Interlock on a great product and thank you personally for your follow through after installation. I am pleased with the roof overall because it's good looking and works well. I get compliments about the new roof frequently. The description you provided of what to expect from beginning to end and what was delivered was consistent. This is such a simple thing to do but a surprising number of companies simply don't execute on their promises so I was pleased with the end result Interlock provided. The crew that removed my old roof and installed the new one was courteous and professional. They did a good job of cleaning up the job site each day and obviously take pride in their work. The only thing I would say was a drawback is that I had filled out the customer satisfaction survey before the dumpster was removed from my front yard. After the dumpster was removed I discovered two long indentations on my front lawn over a foot deep caused by the weight of the fully loaded dumpster. When I called you about it, you said you would correct it and now it has been corrected. This sort of customer service is what really separates companies that are in it for the long haul. I appreciate your follow up and the fact that you were able to correct the only item where I was not completely satisfied. I recommend Interlock to anyone considering a roof replacement based on the merits of the product alone. I had done a good amount of research in Consumer Reports on the longevity of different roof types as you know so there was no question in my mind that I wanted a metal roof but I didn't know how nice the end result would turn out. Your product combined with outstanding customer service is an unmatched offering. Consider me a reference for other potential customers curious about the experience they had with Interlock

Review: May 7, 2019

Jonathan was Ok. I did not experience any pressure but it was obvious he was following corporate sales procedures. Experienced too many of these. What turned me off was an initial quote that was $7,200 more than final price. But the final quote was only available if I signed that day. That killed the deal. Would not have mattered how much lower he would have gone. I won’t work with a company who will take advantage of consumers who are not skilled negotiators or know better. Also, independent reviews about customer service also turned me off.

Dear Interlock, I have had your roof for 3 years now. My wife and I have noticed that our house is warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. It also has increased the value of my house. Noticed a decease in heating bills too.

Review: August 17, 2015Completion: July 9, 2015

I'm not sure. See my comments under #9. Several people have stopped to inquire about our roof. I explain why we chose to spent $33,000 on a roof, but also share my experiences with the installation. Again, I'm not satisfied that the compensation I received off-sets the aggravation, disruption and damage. I don't even know where to start. It seemed like it should have been a pretty straight forward installation that ended up being a mis-managed mess. Having a competent crew (that speaks English) is absolutely essential when they are working remotely (100 miles from the local office). While we were having problems with our installation, I reached out to the home office in Canada. I left my name, number and concerns. No one ever called me back. I would appreciated it if someone would call me to discuss the issues we had and whether or not anything can be done to improve our experience. Jim Longworth - 860-830-4168

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Behind the Rocks

The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Behind the Rocks, Connecticut. 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 Behind the Rocks.

Will a metal roof handle Connecticut's freeze-thaw cycles?

Yes. Behind the Rocks experiences about 83 freeze-thaw days per year, where aluminum's material properties excel. Aluminum alloy (ASTM B209 3105-H24) has no iron, so it cannot rust even when moisture cycles between liquid and ice. The self-healing oxide layer prevents corrosion that degrades asphalt, wood, and steel. Combined with the four-way interlocking panels and Alunar 70% PVDF coating (warranted 30 years), your roof stays sealed through repeated temperature swings.

How does a metal roof perform under Connecticut snow loads?

Interlock's aluminum panels are engineered for heavy snow. Behind the Rocks averages about 71 cm of snow annually across roughly 3,111 sunshine hours—meaning sun exposure helps shed accumulation naturally. The four-way interlocking system prevents snow infiltration while snow guards (installed to spec) direct slides safely. At 0.41 lb/sq ft for the Slate profile, the roof's lightness means no structural reinforcement, and it installs directly over most existing roofs, saving cost and disruption.

Can a metal roof withstand Connecticut wind gusts?

Yes. Behind the Rocks sees typical gusts around 135 km/h, and Interlock's warranty covers wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to specification. The four-way interlocking panels lock each sheet to its neighbors, distributing wind load evenly across the roof plane. This engineering—verified in ICC-ES ESR-1790—eliminates the panel flutter and lift that compromises asphalt shingles in high-wind conditions.

Does Interlock metal roofing qualify for hail damage insurance coverage?

Interlock achieves UL 2218 Class 4, the highest impact rating available, and the warranty explicitly covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. In Behind the Rocks, where severe weather is a regional concern, this rating often qualifies homeowners for insurance discounts—especially since aluminum's non-combustibility (Class A fire available) and durability reduce claims risk. Ask your agent about premium reductions; they frequently recognize metal roofing as a loss-control improvement.

Why doesn't aluminum rust like steel roofing?

Aluminum contains no iron—the element that oxidizes into rust. Interlock uses roofing-grade 3105-H24 and 3003-H24 aluminum alloy (ASTM B209), which forms a thin, self-healing oxide layer when exposed to air. If scratched during installation or by weather, this layer reforms automatically, blocking corrosion before it starts. With Behind the Rocks receiving about 1,249 mm of rain yearly and Connecticut's damp freeze-thaw cycles, this chemistry matters: your roof never needs rust repair, and the Alunar coating adds a 30-year weathering warranty on top.

Can my home's frame support a metal roof, or do I need structural work?

No structural reinforcement needed. Interlock's Mediterranean Tile profile weighs only 0.59 lb/sq ft—about 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile—and installs over most existing roofs. The Shake profile is 0.58 lb/sq ft, similarly negligible. This lightness eliminates the expensive sistering or foundation work that traditional tile demands. Behind the Rocks contractors can complete installation quickly without temporary bracing, keeping labor costs down and your home's structural integrity undisturbed.

Will a metal roof reduce cooling costs in summer?

energy-efficient Interlock colors reflect heat rather than absorb it, with initial solar reflectance up to 0.55 and thermal emissivity 0.84. Behind the Rocks averages about 3,111 annual sunshine hours, so reflective coatings meaningfully reduce cooling load during warm months. The Cool Roof Rating Council verification confirms measurable performance. Asphalt absorbs and re-radiates this heat into your attic; aluminum deflects it away, lowering air-conditioning demand and extending compressor life.

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

The Guardian is a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for the original owner, covering rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance. It's transferable once: the next owner receives 50 years from completion. Most asphalt and wood roofs need replacement every 15–25 years; Interlock's 1998 manufacturing history and Antarctic research-station installations prove durability across 25+ years in extreme climates. This is the last roof you buy for your home.

Is a metal roof environmentally responsible compared to asphalt?

Interlock aluminum is approximately 95% recyclable at end of life, avoiding the asphalt tear-off-to-landfill cycle that generates tons of waste annually. Aluminum's lightweight design (0.41 lb/sq ft for Slate) also reduces transportation emissions. Behind the Rocks receives about 1,249 mm rain yearly, so a roof that lasts 50+ years without replacement prevents decades of landfill impact from multiple asphalt cycles. The panels are CALGreen-verified for reduced maintenance, meaning fewer chemical treatments and repairs over time.

Who installs Interlock metal roofing in Behind the Rocks?

They understand Behind the Rocks' climate—about 83 freeze-thaw days and 135 km/h gusts annually—and install to ICC-ES ESR-1790 specification. Currently, the company offers no payments and no interest until Spring 2027, or 10% off installation. Contact them for a site inspection and warranty transfer counseling specific to your home.

Is a metal roof a good choice for Behind the Rocks’s climate?

Yes. Behind the Rocks averages about 71 cm of snow, 1249 mm of rain, roughly 83 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 135 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.
