Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for South Eliot, Maine
| Spec / Rating | Climate / Risk Factor + What It Solves |
|---|---|
| Wind resistance: 120+ mph (193+ kph) | Extreme wind, hurricanes, storm uplift: full interlocking attachment helps prevent blow-offs, edge lifting, and panel loss in high-gust events. |
| Fire rating: Class A (with proper assembly) | Wildfire, embers, radiant heat, chimney sparks: non-combustible roof assembly provides the highest residential fire protection rating. |
| Hail resistance: UL 2218 Class 4 | Hail and impact debris: highest impact classification; resists cracking, splitting, and surface loss common with asphalt under hail strikes. |
| Snow & ice performance: interlocking, shedding profile | Heavy snow, freeze-thaw, ice dams: smooth aluminum sheds snow efficiently and the interlocking design helps block water intrusion when melt-refreeze cycles occur. (Final snow-load capacity depends on roof structure and local code.) |
| Corrosion resistance: aluminum (won’t rust) | Salt air, coastal humidity, wet climates: aluminum naturally resists rust and corrosion, reducing long-term failure risk in marine or high-moisture environments. |
| Heat / UV durability: baked-on coating system | High heat, intense sun, thermal cycling: coatings resist UV breakdown and temperature-swing fatigue, slowing fading and surface degradation. |
| Moss / algae resistance: smooth coated surface | Wet shade, organic growth: low-porosity metal surface gives moss/algae less to grip, reducing staining and maintenance. |
| Material: heavy-gauge aluminum roof profiles (Slate / Shake / Shingle / Tile / Standing Seam) | All-season structural stability: lightweight, dent-resistant metal system stays stable through large hot-cold swings and severe weather. |
| Expected lifespan: 50+ years | Long-term durability across climates: avoids re-roof cycles typical of shorter-life materials, even in high-stress environments. |
| Warranty: Lifetime-Limited, non-prorated + 50-year transferable | Lifetime protection + resale value: guarantees long-term material confidence and transfers to future owners. |

What our customers are saying:
Our neighbors had problems with ice dams but our roof did not with the Interlock Metal Roofing System. The installation crews were very professional and courteous.
This is to inform you of our satisfaction with the new Interlock roof on our home and to express an even greater satisfaction in the relationship with your staff during the entire process. Wayne Grant was very informative and courteous with his presentation and in filling out all the necessary paperwork to get started. Fred and his crew of installers were very professional and kept me totally informed on all aspects of the installation. The site was kept very clean as they worked and was totally cleaned each day before they left. Fred showed considerable concern in our satisfaction in all areas. Thank you for all your help
It appears that interlock does not want to be in the standing seam business. Price way too high.
The salesman was very pushy and after almost 2 hours I had to tell him I didn't mean to be rude, but I needed to get ready for bed.
We are completely satisfied with the overall project and it was a great experience.
Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value To Potential Interlock Customer: We intentionally waited almost two years to write a review (roof replaced in August 2019). Replacing a roof (whether asphalt or Interlock) is an expensive project, and we felt it was important to have the perspective of someone who has experience with the Interlock roof for 2 years. Our house is an old colonial built in about 1890. It is almost 3200 square feet with an attic that could be converted to a third floor. We also have an L-shaped wrap-around porch at the front of the house. I am very familiar with the effort it takes to replace a roof, as I have helped re-roof five different houses, including my own. I did this with the help of several friends, putting a layer of asphalt shingles on my house about 20 years ago. However, after 20 years, I had shingles beginning to fail and lost a couple during wind storms. I had a couple of asphalt shingle contractors look at the house for an estimate. One never provided a quote. The second refused the work because my house is 34 feet at the peak, and he felt it was too tall for him to work on. Michael Baldarassi came to our house in June 2019. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable about the construction of old houses and correctly identified that the gable ends would need repair as it was common to not fully extend roof boards to the gable end. He explained the product extremely well, and we were happy to choose the black, " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">slate-looking tiles for our roof. The work team started in the second week of August on a bright sunny, " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">hot week. My roof needed to be stripped to the boards, and I was amazed at how quickly they dealt with the very hot asphalt shingles. It is an extremely hard-working team, and it was to the point that I wanted to tell them to take breaks. Sheets of plywood were carried up to the roof, gable ends were repaired, and several spots needed repair prior to installing the Interlock shingles. They did an excellent installation, along with cleanup and the weather-supported completion in 5 days. We immediately started receiving compliments from townspeople who thought we were having a slate roof put on. The roof definitely adds appeal to our house. Our experience with the Interlock roof has been outstanding. I no longer worry during the strong winds of winter. Having the snow slide off the roof has been a big benefit. Our first snowstorm in December 2019 was 20 inches. It was predicted to be followed by rain four days later. For the past 20 years, I have had to go out onto the wrap-around porch roof to shovel it off so that the 20 inches of snow with rain on it wouldn’t overload the porch. Not with Interlock. The snow had slid off during the snowstorm and before the rain, so no more shovelling the roof. I love not having to stand on a snowy roof shovelling anymore. Having the snow slide off has other benefits. It removed tons of weight from the snow on the roof. That snow weight does nothing good for a house. I used to have minor changes in door fitting, etc., during the winter, but that has stopped because the snow weight on the roof is gone. Additionally, no snow on the roof means no icicles. As one side of my house faces the sun all day, there are winters where if it is 10F and sunny for several days, massive icicles form that weigh hundreds of pounds. These become dangerous when they unexpectedly drop. Icicles do not happen when there is no snow on the roof. Our Interlock roof has been a fantastic choice, and it has added to the value of our house. One day when we sell our house, I have no doubt that our Interlock roof will help to attract a buyer, and the price of the roof will likely be recouped in part or all. What is a big question a potential homebuyer has? - how old is the roof? Being able to answer with a 50-year " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">warranty that can be transferred to one buyer will bring a lot of weight to the sale. The warranty gives us peace of mind that the roof will never worry us again. Thank you again, Interlock. Service: Roof installation
Keeping tarp right by the house to collect falling metal pieces and nails. I wouldn't want my dogs to step on the metal pieces. We understood that the supervisor would come to check on the project throughout the whole process. Perhaps we misunderstood, but my daughter was the only one who saw him after the project was completed. I am glad you sent me this survey so I can feel that someone in the company is interested in my feelings about the results. This new roof cost a lot of money and I want to feel absolutely positive that it is perfect and that if I have concerns they are addressed in a timely manner.
The job site was generally cleaned at the end of the day. But far too much stuff was tossed off the roof into our planters with little regard. The area could and should have been scoured for a better final clean up. The roof itself is absolutely beautiful and I am very pleased with it.
I was courteous and prompt in keeping Michael updated. The additonal cold call from interlock shortly after keeping Michael updated was the final decision to no further consider this company.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in South Eliot
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in South Eliot, Maine. 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 South Eliot.
Will a metal roof handle Maine's freeze-thaw cycles?
Yes—aluminum actually thrives in freeze-thaw climates. South Eliot experiences roughly 93 freeze-thaw days per year, and aluminum's oxide layer self-heals when stressed by thermal cycling, meaning it won't crack, split, or curl like asphalt or wood. The material has no iron content, so it cannot rust even when water enters micro-gaps. That's why Interlock's 3105-H24 aluminum alloy has been installed successfully from coastal salt-air homes to an Antarctic research station since 1998. You're looking at a roof that gets stronger with age in your climate.
How does metal roofing handle heavy snow in Maine?
South Eliot averages about 116 cm of snow annually, and metal roofing sheds it efficiently—especially the Slate and Cedar Shingle profiles. The four-way interlocking panels lock snow in place and prevent dangerous slides while allowing meltwater to drain freely. The lightweight aluminum (the Mediterranean Tile profile weighs about 96% less than concrete or clay tile) means your framing never bears the structural penalty of a heavy snow load. Add optional snow guards to retain snow for aesthetics or insulation, but the material itself won't sag, buckle, or collect ice dams the way asphalt does under repeated thaw cycles.
With about 1000 mm of rain a year in South Eliot, how watertight is this roof?
The four-way interlocking panels create overlapping channels that shed water in layers—rain doesn't sit on the surface. South Eliot's annual rainfall of roughly 1025 mm is managed by design: water cascades from one panel to the next and into your gutters, with no exposed fasteners to leak. Installation over solid decking with underlayment (often placed over your existing roof) adds a backup moisture barrier. ICC-ES evaluation ESR-1790 certifies the system for IBC/IRC compliance, so you're meeting current building code for water management in your region.
Can metal roofing stand up to Maine coastal wind gusts?
Absolutely. South Eliot's typical wind gusts reach about 104 km/h, and Interlock's panels are warranted to resist sustained winds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to specification. The four-way interlocking design locks each panel into its neighbors on all four sides—there's no single fastener holding the roof together. High-wind areas from Nova Scotia to coastal Connecticut have used this system for over 25 years. Your roof won't lift, flutter, or separate in the gusts you'll actually see.
Does hail damage metal roofing, and will my insurance company care?
No, and yes—in a good way. Interlock panels carry a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating (the highest available) and the warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. The aluminum's hardness resists denting, and if a stone does strike, it won't crack or split like slate or asphalt. Many insurers recognize this durability and offer discounts on metal roofs. After a hail event, you won't face the asphalt shingle ritual of filing claims, waiting for an adjuster, and replacing sections. That's real peace of mind in any climate that sees thunderstorms.
Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron—rust is iron oxide, a chemical reaction aluminum doesn't undergo. Instead, aluminum develops a thin oxide layer that actually protects the material underneath and self-heals when scratched. The Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon coating (applied to both sides of every panel) adds another 30-year warranty against chalking and fading, giving you extra protection in salt air if you're anywhere near the coast. Interlock has shipped roofs to coastal salt-air homes since 1998 with no rust failures. You're not fighting chemistry—you're using it.
Can I trust aluminum not to rust, especially in a Maine climate?
What's the real lifespan of a metal roof, and what does the warranty cover?
The Guardian Warranty is lifetime limited and non-prorated for the original owner, covering rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance—basically everything that fails on other roofs. It's also one-time transferable: the next owner gets 50 years of coverage from completion, adding value to your home at resale. With no rust mechanism, no wood to rot, and aluminum that withstands 93 freeze-thaw cycles per year in your region, you're looking at a roof that outlasts the mortgage. This is the last roof you'll install.
Will I need to reinforce my roof framing for a metal roof?
No reinforcement needed. The Interlock Shake profile installs at about 0.58 lb/sq ft, and the Mediterranean Tile (which visually replicates heavy clay or concrete tile) weighs only about 0.59 lb/sq ft—roughly 96% lighter than the real thing. This means your existing framing, built to carry asphalt shingles, easily supports a metal roof without upgrades. You can often install directly over your current roof, saving the cost and landfill impact of a tear-off. Lighter weight also means easier installation, fewer labor hours, and less structural risk during storms or earthquakes.
How much maintenance does a metal roof really need?
Virtually none. There's no moss to scrape, no shingles to replace, no wood to seal, no gutters clogged with granules. Interlock's aluminum doesn't split, curl, or rot, and the Alunar fluorocarbon coating is CALGreen-verified for reduced maintenance. Twice a decade, a quick rinse removes coastal salt spray or pollen, but that's optional. Asphalt roofs in your climate face constant freeze-thaw stress and need regular inspections, shingle replacement, and repairs—all costly and labor-intensive. A metal roof is installed and then you forget about it. That's worth real money over 50 years.
Will a metal roof help with heating and cooling costs?
Yes, especially in summer. South Eliot gets about 3057 hours of sunshine per year, and Interlock's energy-efficient colors reflect heat that asphalt absorbs and converts to indoor warmth. The Aged Copper Penny finish, for example, has an initial solar reflectance up to 0.55 and thermal emissivity of 0.84 (Cool Roof Rating Council rated), meaning it bounces sunlight rather than trapping it. In your climate, with nearly 1025 mm of annual rainfall and about 116 cm of snow limiting peak sun exposure, energy savings are real but modest—the bigger win is durability. Still, every bit of reflection in summer reduces air conditioning load, and reflective coatings last 30 years under warranty.
Is a metal roof a good choice for South Eliot’s climate?
Yes. South Eliot averages about 116 cm of snow, 1025 mm of rain, roughly 93 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.
