Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Herricks, New York
| 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:
I am very disgusted with what happen in terms of what the salesperson told me I was going to get. My neighbor has the same roof and said that he had a good job Interlock was over sold and under delivered in terms of what they promised. I think they could have improved on customer service, follow up, letting the customer know when the start dates change, and the installers should be more prideful in their work. I called back several times about when they were going to start the work. I was told by the contractor that my problems would be forward to the office but no one in the office knew about my problems. I know foresee that I will have issues down the road because it was not put on properly. I think they should do it right the first time and do exactly what they say they will do. Some of my concerns and issues are based on what I have gone through. I don't want anyone else to go through this. I feel that there might be some customers who don't speak up and will just let things slide by and that isn't right. The owner doesn't know what the people are costing his company by the lack of workmanship and quality of work and customer service. When people get this kind of service they will never use that company again. I told Jennifer that they gave me a Mercedes roof but had installers for Ikea install it. My neighbor feels bad for recommending them to me.I work at home and I am most of the time. The last day they completed the job no one told me that it was going to be the last day. I was two hours away when I got the call that it was the last day and they were done and I needed to sign paperwork. He wanted me to walk around the property to look at the work but by the time I got home the sun had already set and I couldn't see anything. I refused to sign off on the work.
I wasted 4 months of my time thinking i will have a beautiful metal roof just to learn that interlock will not be able to do it after all
Interlock Roofing could have improved their communication.
I would love to do it, but I can't justify spending that much money. I love the product, but I'd have to win some money to afford it. I like the sales pitch, and the salesman, but it cost too much. They have a unique product, and the design is good.
We are writing to thank your company for the wonderful new roof installation that we have. It is refreshing in today's business world to be able to have a company say and do exactly what is expected of them. Your sales representative, Robert Allen, was very knowledgeable and informative about the product and the installation of it. He was not an aggressive salesman, which we appreciated. The installers were the BEST! Dmitry, Leonid and Danny were the hardest working men we have ever had work on anything that we have ever had done at our house. They worked every moment that they were here, and the most severe conditions. The job was finished in a timely manor. We definitely will recommend your company to our friends.
I’m not sure who to best direct this letter of appreciation to but I’m assuming it will be shared with Interlock officials. As briefly mentioned in an email to you we are thrilled with everything. From our initial deliberations in choosing Interlock to the completion of the project we have been impressed. We have completed many remodeling projects in our home. Replacing a roof certainly would be considered major. To know that we will not need to worry about replacing it is very comforting, not to mention the impressive appearance and worth it has added to our home and neighborhood. We would be remiss if we didn’t mention the extraordinary work and work habits of Nazar. Committed, exacting, attention to detail, particular are words that immediately come to mind. His knowledge and work ethic are off the scale – long work days, mindful of what needs doing next (particularly with vagaries of spring weather) are noteworthy. He’s a gem you can absolutely depend on. We await our first major nasty weather event to put this all to test – one that we were very confident about. Thank you once again. It is reassuring to know we will benefit so nicely from the superior workmanship and quality of the roofing products.
My wife and I wanted you to know that we are very pleased with the new Interlock shingle roof recently installed on our twenty year old home. The color matches the rest of our home and the shingles look tremendous. While we knew we needed a new roof and we we looked at a number of different options and contractors, we believed that selecting your company was without a doubt a winner in every respect. We became aware of your product through the website of the ">Metal Roofing Alliance that led us to your company's own web page. Subsequently, we met with Mr. Robert Allen, Regional Marketing Coordinator of New York's Best Roof, Inc., who fully addressed all of our questions and was readily available throughout the process. Installation was also handled in a very professional manner, and we could not ask for better assistance from either Mr. Allen or the installation crew of New York's Best Roof, Inc. We look forward to many happy years under the security of our new aluminum shingle roof, and would gladly recommend your product and the team from New York's Best Roof, Inc. to anyone. We are also very pleased with the energy savings, maintenance free characteristics and environmentally friendly aspects of our new ">aluminum roof.
To: Interlock / New York's Best Roof My husband and I wanted to write to you to let you know how pleased we are with our entire experience working with Interlock. We now have a beautiful new roof and the process was totally professional and first rate. We first learned about Interlock from information received in the mail. However Mr. Robert Allen, our sales coordinator, gave a very thorough, knowledgeable presentation of the roofing product, answering our questions, showing samples and leaving us with written materials we could look over at our leisure. Mr. Allen was always a phone call away to answer our questions, returning our calls if not the same day certainly with a 24-hour period. Once we decided to purchase an Interlock roof, the time frame spelled out in the contract was adhered to. Financing was available and Mr. Patrick Doyle worked very diligently to get us the best rate of interest available to us. Whatever concerns we had were addressed and the paperwork was simple and straightforward. The installment crew was professional, courteous and hardworking. Our roof was done in 2 1/2 days and clean-up was always done at the end of each day. The crew always spoke with my husband in a polite, unobtrusive manner and did whatever it took to make the installation as easy as possible. Now not only do we have a great looking roof with a 50-year " title="warranty" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">warranty, we also bought a great product. The roofing itself creates minimal waste and is recyclable. It reflects the sun in the summer so our air conditioning works more efficiently. In the winter we no longer have to snow rake the roof, the snow melts off automatically. Our house now seems quieter, even our 14 year old son remarked he didn't know it was raining until the rain hit the windows. Our new roof gives our house a more finished look and according to our tax expert, ">metal roofs are tax-deductible! My husband and I can not only say enough positive things about interlock. We would highly recommend their product and company to anyone considering a new roof. Drive by and see the finished product!

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Herricks
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Herricks, New York. 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 Herricks.
Will a metal roof handle Herricks' freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or warping?
Yes—aluminum's crystalline structure and lack of porosity mean it expands and contracts predictably without fracturing, even through Herricks' typical 66 freeze-thaw days per year. Unlike wood shakes or concrete tiles, which absorb water and crack when it freezes, roofing-grade 3105-H24 aluminum simply flexes. The Alunar 70% PVDF coating (both sides) seals the surface, preventing water ingress at the bond line where most freeze damage begins. Your roof won't develop the spalling, splitting, or curling that plague traditional materials in this climate.
How does an Interlock metal roof perform under Herricks' winter snow load?
Herricks receives about 63 centimeters of snow annually, and metal roofs shed snow faster than asphalt because their smooth, interlocking surface provides no purchase for ice dams to form. The four-way interlocking seams prevent water from backing up under panels during thaw cycles. If you need additional control, snow guards can be installed in the Cedar Shingle or Shake profiles. Because the Shingle profile weighs only 0.41 lb/sq ft—roughly one-sixtieth the weight of slate—your structure bears minimal load stress even when snow accumulates, and no reinforcement is required.
Can a metal roof handle Herricks' 1,251 mm of annual rainfall without leaks?
The four-way interlocking design creates overlapping seams that shed water downward and outward in multiple directions, making leaks virtually impossible if installed to spec. Herricks' roughly 1,251 mm rainfall is handled by gravity and the panel geometry alone—no underlayment absorbs water or relies on adhesive over time. The Alunar coating protects the aluminum oxide layer, and because aluminum never rusts (it contains no iron), corrosion cannot compromise seam integrity. When installed by Interlock Roofing of America, which has served this region since 2014, fasteners and overlaps are precisely positioned to handle storm surges and persistent wet weather.
How well does an Interlock metal roof withstand Herricks' coastal wind gusts?
Herricks experiences wind gusts up to 135 km/h—well within the design limits of a properly installed Interlock roof, which carries a 120 mph (193 km/h) wind warranty when fastened per ICC-ES ESR-1790 specifications. The four-way interlocking panels lock together mechanically; wind cannot lift individual shingles as it does asphalt or shake. Each panel is fastened at multiple points, and the interlocking geometry means any upward force is distributed across adjacent panels. This redundancy is why coastal salt-air homes from Maine to British Columbia use Interlock—gusts alone cannot separate or deform the system.
Why should I choose aluminum instead of steel if I want a metal roof that won't rust?
Aluminum contains no iron, so it cannot rust chemically—this is a fundamental material property, not a coating benefit. Steel roofs rely entirely on paint or galvanizing to block oxygen and moisture from iron; when that coating scratches or ages, rust forms underneath and spreads. Aluminum develops a self-healing oxide layer; when scratched, the layer reforms within hours or days. Herricks' 1,251 mm annual rainfall and coastal proximity increase corrosion risk for steel, but aluminum thrives in salt air and wet climates. The Alunar 70% PVDF finish (both sides) adds 30-year chalking and fading protection, but the aluminum substrate itself is inherently corrosion-proof.
Can an energy-efficiency metal roof actually reduce cooling costs in a New York climate?
Yes—Herricks enjoys about 3,115 hours of annual sunshine, and energy-efficient Interlock colors achieve initial solar reflectance up to 0.55 (Aged Copper Penny) and thermal emissivity of 0.84. These values mean the roof bounces infrared heat away rather than absorbing it like asphalt does. You won't see savings on heating (which dominates your winter costs), but summer cooling loads drop measurably, especially in June through August. Cool Roof Rating Council certification confirms the reflectance persists over time. The real value is year-round: asphalt absorbs heat and transfers it into your attic; a reflective metal roof keeps that energy outside.
Does an Interlock metal roof require expensive structural reinforcement?
No. The Tile profile weighs approximately 0.59 lb/sq ft—about 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile—so your home's framing bears negligible additional load. Most existing wood-frame houses can support Interlock without any structural modification, and in many cases the roof can install directly over existing asphalt shingles (consult your installer). This weight advantage means no hidden costs for engineering or beam reinforcement, and demolition of the old roof is optional. The Shake profile (0.58 lb/sq ft) and Shingle profile (0.41 lb/sq ft) offer the same structural freedom. Interlock Roofing of America can assess your specific structure during a free estimate.
What maintenance does an Interlock metal roof actually need in Herricks?
Virtually none beyond annual gutter cleaning and inspection after severe weather. Aluminum doesn't split, curl, or rot like wood; it won't crack from Herricks' 66 annual freeze-thaw cycles; moss doesn't colonize smooth, sloped metal in a temperate maritime climate. Asphalt requires shingle replacement, wood demands sealing, tile needs mortar repair—Interlock avoids all three failure modes. The Alunar 70% PVDF finish is CALGreen-verified for reduced maintenance, meaning no paint-on coatings, no sealant reapplication, no seasonal repairs. Your primary task is keeping debris out of gutters and checking fasteners after high winds (135 km/h gusts).
What exactly does the Guardian warranty cover, and how long does it last?
The Guardian provides a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty to the original owner, covering rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance. It's one-time transferable, giving the next owner 50 years from installation completion—a powerful selling point if you ever move. Non-prorated means claims are evaluated at full replacement cost, not depreciated year-by-year. Because aluminum cannot rust (no iron in the alloy), the warranty effectively guarantees the roof against material failure. The Alunar coating itself carries 30 years against chalking and fading (ASTM D4214/D2244 measured). This structure reflects confidence: Interlock has manufactured panels since 1998 in Delta, BC, and installed them from coastal salt-air homes to an Antarctic research station.
Is an Interlock metal roof better for the environment than asphalt shingles?
Yes. Aluminum is approximately 95% recyclable, and Interlock panels can be recycled indefinitely without degradation. Asphalt shingles are tear-off waste destined for landfills—Herricks generates millions of pounds annually. Because Interlock roofs last 50+ years versus asphalt's 15–20, you install one metal roof instead of three asphalt roofs in the same timeframe. This means three fewer tear-offs, three fewer landfill loads, and a permanent break from the replacement-and-discard cycle. At end-of-life, your aluminum roof enters the scrap stream and becomes new cans, windows, or panels. The lifecycle carbon footprint is dramatically lower than three successive asphalt replacements, making metal roofing a genuine environmental commitment.
Is a metal roof a good choice for Herricks’s climate?
Yes. Herricks averages about 63 cm of snow, 1251 mm of rain, roughly 66 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.
