Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Allston, Massachusetts
| 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:
We met with the National Sales Manager for Interlock, and he told us that if we were to have a roof installed by Interlock that: a) A “Project manager” would be on site every day, for the entire day, to oversee our job and make sure that the work was performed at a high level of care and quality. the salesman assured us that the manager would not simply show up in the morning and then leave for the day. b) Interlock employees were all factory trained by Interlock, and only work for Interlock, and that they would not be working multiple jobs when working on our job. We hired Interlock solely based on the salesman's assurances that the quality of installation was important and they had the best installers. Prior to his assurances about the installation, we had been planning on hiring a different company, with a very similar product. The first day they arrived for the installation the workers came in a truck with another company logo, “Gutter Guys”. We called the office and told them our concern; we were told that the roofers only worked for Interlock, and we did not expect to see the workers show up in a different company van. We were told that they only worked for Interlock regardless of the vehicle they showed up in. Furthermore the “Project manager" was absent for most of the first three days of the job. He dropped off workers and supplies early in the morning and would return to pick up the workers at the end of the day. There were several occasions where we had concerns about the installation including safety and Mr. Rivera was not here and not answering his phone for hours a day. The Regional Manager came to our house to see the issues we were having. When we mentioned that we wished we had hired the other company with a similar product, he informed us that our project manager also works for that company, contradicting the notion that Interlock employees only work for Interlock. Another instance happened on the third day of installation. The workers showed up and started loading their supplies into a van. When asked if they were leaving, they said “yes” and informed my wife that they were working somewhere else that day. They said they did not know when they would return. My wife called the office immediately; the office manager believed that the project manager was working at our house and was surprised to find out that the workers had come to pick up all their supplies and left. She did eventually track him down and two workers showed up around noon. As a result of the lack of oversight caused by the absence of a project manager, there were numerous and multiple issues with the work. Some mistakes were only caught because we noticed them and asked for them to be fixed, such as: 1. A PVC roof installed in multiple pieces small pieces, and heat-sealed in the rain 2. Ice and water shield installed with small, leftover scraps with tears in them 3. Aluminum gutter flashing that was ripped off of over half of the house and left that way. 1. Holes left in the chimney that needed to be filled 2. excessive use of caulk to fill large holes and to “glue” wood siding in place 3. damage to mahogany deck, sliding door screen, window trim 4. damage to gutters 5. fewer snowguards installed than what was discussed/promised Some mistakes still have not been satisfactorily fixed. These include: 1. Several shingles dented and scratched in the process of trying to fix all the other issues 1. Damaged wood siding, and wood siding that was replaced but poorly installed and badly painted. 1. A dented box vent. 2. Debris deposited in dry well because it was pushed into downspouts. 3. Severely dented flashing 4. Two skylights were not properly closed. The board that the plywood is nailed to in the middle is not secured and only wedged between the drywall. There were also safety concerns: 1. Items were constantly being thrown off the roof haphazardly all over with no concern for anyone who might be below; in one case Items were thrown off the roof just as our children were walking out the door. 1. No doorways were blocked off to let people know if debris would be thrown from above. 1. A full sheet of plywood, carried up a ladder, was dropped, hitting our window. 2. A worker standing on A-frame ladder on the lower level of the sloped roof. This occurred the day after the regional manager told us he would talk to our project manager about safety. 1. No portable restroom available, and workers asked to use our bathroom for the first three days of installation, until we mentioned this issue to the office. No portable restroom was ever made available. the salesman claimed that the job would be overseen throughout the day, each day, by a project manager, and that the job would be done by factory-trained workers exclusive to Interlock. This assurance was the reason we hired Interlock over another company that sells a similar product. His assurances turned out to be completely untrue. As a result of this misrepresentation, we ended up paying $34K for a roof that we are not happy with. I would strongly advise against hiring Interlock.
We're thrilled with our new roof! Chris L. explained the product expertly. The material arrived on time and install went smoothly. Highly recommend!
Choosing a metal roof was an easy decision after working with Christopher Lacky choosing Interlock was definitely the best choicewe made. Chris, Paul and Nazar made a challenging home upgrade into such a delight. The professionalism and knowledge was by far top notch. The winter months seem warmer and summer cooler. One issue is the noise during rain storms but I have grown to like it
The representative Daniel Pelkey was very professional and really informative. He certainly was very qualified and answered all my questions and concerns.
We had a new metal roof installed by Interlock. The entire experience was amazing. From financing to installation it was a one stop process. Very happy with the work and how professional everyone was.
It could be cheaper and use different technology.
Hurry up!
We had an Interlock roof installed 18 months ago and love it. It is quiet, looks great, easy to remove snow (low pitch) and no granules from roof on patio.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Allston
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Allston, Massachusetts. 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 Allston.
Will a metal roof handle Massachusetts freeze-thaw cycles better than asphalt?
Yes. Allston experiences about 76 freeze-thaw days per year, which breaks down asphalt and causes cracking and curling. Aluminum expands and contracts uniformly, and its oxide layer self-heals when scratched—no water penetration, no degradation. The 3105-H24 alloy used in Interlock panels is engineered to maintain flexibility through repeated temperature swings. With the Alunar 70% PVDF coating warranted 30 years against cracking, your roof stays intact where asphalt fails.
How does metal roofing perform with Allston's snow and ice buildup?
Allston averages about 84 cm of snow annually. Metal's smooth, interlocking surface sheds snow and ice more effectively than asphalt's rough texture, reducing ice dam risk. The four-way interlock panels resist wind gusts up to 130 km/h that often dislodge snow from less secure systems. Optional snow guards can be added if you want controlled shedding. The light weight—Interlock Slate installs at 0.41 lb/sq ft—means no structural reinforcement needed, even over existing roofs, so you're ready for winter without expensive foundation work.
Can metal roofing handle Allston's 1,065 mm of annual rainfall without leaking?
Metal roofing is inherently leak-resistant at that rainfall volume. Water runs off the interlocking panel geometry by design. The four-way interlock creates overlaps that direct water downward and outward, shedding roughly 1,065 mm annually without pooling. Proper installation—sealing fasteners and valleys to spec per ESR-1790—makes leaks extremely rare. When installed over a solid deck with underlayment, the system behaves like asphalt in wet weather but lasts far longer because aluminum cannot rust or rot, even after decades of Allston's coastal moisture.
Are metal roofs secure in New England windstorms with gusts over 130 km/h?
Yes. Interlock's four-way interlocking aluminum panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to spec. Allston's typical gusts reach about 130 km/h, well within that protection range. The mechanical interlock—not fasteners alone—distributes wind load across the entire roof plane. Installation to ICC-ES ESR-1790 standards ensures proper fastening and overlap so wind cannot lift or separate panels. This redundancy is why metal roofs outperform asphalt and shingles in spring nor'easters and coastal storms.
Do metal roofs reduce hail damage and insurance costs?
Interlock panels hold a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. While Allston's hail risk is moderate, Class 4 rating often qualifies homeowners for insurance discounts because the roof resists impact damage that destroys asphalt and wood shingles. Ask your insurer about premium reductions; many carriers offer 10–20% savings on metal roofs with this certification. Over a 50-year lifespan, those discounts compound significantly.
Can my house support a metal roof, or do I need structural upgrades?
No structural upgrades are needed. Interlock's extraordinary lightness eliminates that cost entirely. The Slate profile installs at just 0.41 lb/sq ft; the Mediterranean Tile, despite its traditional appearance, weighs about 96% less than real concrete or clay tile. Your framing supports asphalt without strain, so it handles metal roofing easily—even installed directly over your existing roof. This saves thousands in labor and reinforcement. ICC-ES ESR-1790 confirms installation feasibility on most residential structures.
What warranty comes with Interlock metal roofing, and how long does it really last?
The Guardian warranty is a lifetime limited, NON-prorated material warranty for you as the original owner, covering rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance. The next owner receives a one-time transferable term of 50 years from completion. No other roofing material—asphalt, wood, or tile—offers that security. Combined with the Alunar 70% PVDF finish warranted 30 years against chalking and fading, and aluminum's inherent immunity to rust and rot, you're buying a last roof. Allston's 76 freeze-thaw cycles and coastal moisture accelerate asphalt failure; aluminum ignores both.
Will a metal roof keep my house cooler and lower summer electricity bills?
energy-efficient Interlock colors with 0.84 thermal emissivity and up to 0.55 initial solar reflectance (like Aged Copper Penny) reflect heat that asphalt absorbs, reducing cooling load. Allston receives about 3,109 sunshine hours annually. A reflective metal roof bounces a significant portion of that solar gain away, lowering air-conditioner runtime. The Cool Roof Rating Council certification confirms measurable performance. Savings depend on your AC use and local electricity rates, but cooler roof surfaces cut attic temperature by 20–30°F, extending HVAC life and lowering summer utility costs.
Is metal roofing more environmentally friendly than asphalt shingles?
Yes. Interlock aluminum is approximately 95% recyclable at end of life. Asphalt shingles end up in landfills by the ton and cannot be recovered. Allston's 1,065 mm annual rainfall and 84 cm snow accelerate asphalt degradation, forcing replacement every 15–25 years. Each tear-off sends thousands of pounds of waste to landfill. A metal roof lasts 50+ years, requiring no replacement during your ownership and the next owner's, eliminating that cycle. When it eventually reaches end-of-life, the aluminum is melted down and reused indefinitely. This is the only roofing choice that breaks the asphalt landfill loop.
Is there a local Interlock installer serving Allston?
Yes. Interlock Metal Roofing (New England) Inc. has served this region since 1999—over 25 years of installation experience in Suffolk County and Allston's challenging coastal climate. They understand your local weather: 76 freeze-thaw days, 130 km/h gusts, and salt air.

Currently, the regional promotion offers no payments and no interest until Spring 2027, or 10% off installation. Contact them for a site evaluation and timeline.
Is a metal roof a good choice for Allston’s climate?
Yes. Allston averages about 84 cm of snow, 1065 mm of rain, roughly 76 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 130 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.
