Review: June 10, 2016Completion: March 1, 2016

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.

Review: December 13, 2014

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.

Review: December 26, 2009

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.

Review: April 20, 2009

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.

Review: September 28, 2008

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.

Review: July 21, 2008

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 Hillcrest

The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Hillcrest, 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 Hillcrest.

Will a metal roof hold up to New York's freeze-thaw cycles?

Yes—aluminum actually improves with freeze-thaw cycling because it has no water-absorbing material to crack or delaminate. Hillcrest experiences about 69 freeze-thaw days per year, plus roughly 58 cm of snow, which means your roof endures constant expansion and contraction. Aluminum's non-porous structure and four-way interlocking design prevent ice dam damage and water penetration. The Alunar coating, warranted 30 years against cracking, stays flexible through those temperature swings, so you avoid the splitting and curling that plague wood and asphalt shingles after a few winters.

How does metal roofing handle heavy snow loads in Hillcrest?

Interlock's aluminum panels are extraordinarily light—the Shake profile weighs just 0.58 lb/sq ft—so snow accumulation isn't a structural concern even when you get the typical 58 cm of annual snowfall. The smooth, interlocked design actually sheds snow more efficiently than asphalt, reducing the weight bearing down on your home. Four-way interlocking prevents water from seeping between panels as snow melts. If ice dams do form during those freeze-thaw cycles, the metal surface won't absorb moisture or degrade, and optional snow guards keep slides manageable without compromising the roof's integrity.

Can a metal roof withstand Hillcrest's wind gusts?

Yes. Hillcrest experiences typical daily winds around 21 km/h with gusts reaching 113 km/h, and Interlock's four-way interlocking aluminum panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to specification. The interlocking design means each panel is mechanically fastened to the next—wind cannot lift a single panel without breaking the entire system. The lightweight construction (0.41–0.59 lb/sq ft depending on profile) actually reduces wind uplift forces on your home's structure. Compare this to asphalt shingles, where individual tabs can peel or blow off during strong gusts, leaving your roof vulnerable.

Will my roof leak during Hillcrest's heavy rainfall?

No. Hillcrest averages about 1,230 mm of rain annually, and Interlock's four-way interlocking panels are engineered so water cannot penetrate the seams. Each panel overlaps the next in all four directions, and water naturally flows downslope without pooling or wicking sideways. The panels install over solid deck and underlayment (just like asphalt), so you get the same proven leak protection but with a metal substrate that never degrades. If water does somehow reach the underlayment, aluminum won't absorb it or rot—asphalt-saturated felt degrades over time and eventually fails. The Guardian warranty covers perforation (hail-induced holes), so your leak protection is comprehensive.

Does a metal roof qualify for hail damage insurance breaks in Hillcrest?

Interlock's aluminum panels achieve UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—which often triggers insurance discounts. The warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Talk to your insurer about your specific policy, but many carriers recognize Class 4 metal roofing as a premium risk reduction feature. Over Hillcrest's climate, Class 4 impact resistance means small hail events leave no lasting damage, and major hail is covered under warranty rather than your deductible. Asphalt shingles typically get a Class 1 or 2 rating at best, so the insurance advantage of aluminum is often immediate.

Will an aluminum roof reduce my cooling costs?

Interlock's energy-efficient colors reflect more solar heat than asphalt shingles absorb, thanks to thermal emissivity of 0.84 and initial solar reflectance up to 0.55. Hillcrest gets about 3,134 sunshine hours per year, so every sunny day your roof is bouncing heat away rather than trapping it. The Cool Roof Rating Council rating confirms measurable energy savings in cooling-dominated seasons. In summer, this reduces your air conditioning load; in winter, you still benefit from the metal's low thermal mass, which won't hold heat at night. Energy savings compound over the roof's lifetime—another reason aluminum outlasts asphalt economically.

What's the real lifespan of an Interlock metal roof, and is the warranty meaningful?

The Guardian warranty is a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for the original owner, covering rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance—not pro-rated, so full coverage never dims. It's transferable once to the next owner, who gets 50 years from completion. In practice, Interlock panels have performed for 25+ years in harsh environments since 1998 manufacturing began. Hillcrest's climate (about 69 freeze-thaw cycles annually, moderate rainfall) is gentler than coastal salt-air or alpine regions where these panels also perform. That's your roof: one purchase for your lifetime, then protection for the next owner. Asphalt shingles need replacement every 15–20 years, turning into a recurring cost.

How long does an Interlock roof installation take, and do I need a new deck?

Installation timeline depends on roof size, but most Hillcrest homes complete in 3–7 days with a professional crew. Interlock Roofing of America has served the region since 2014, so they understand local conditions and permitting. A major advantage: because aluminum panels are so light (Tile profile is about 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile), installation happens over your existing roof in most cases—no costly structural reinforcement needed. You avoid the expense and mess of a full tear-off, and your home stays protected during the work. The installer will assess your current deck; if it's solid and not rotted, installation proceeds straightforward. Asphalt replacement always requires tear-off and landfill dumping.

How much maintenance does an aluminum metal roof really need?

Virtually none. Aluminum doesn't rot, split, curl, or require re-sealing like asphalt, wood, or tile. Hillcrest's 1,230 mm annual rainfall and solid deck mean water drains away; the Alunar coating (30-year warranty against chalking and fading per ASTM D4214/D2244) keeps the finish pristine without refinishing. Most owners simply clear leaves from gutters twice yearly—same as any roof. No moss treatment, no tar re-application, no shingle replacement. CALGreen verification confirms the reduced maintenance profile. Over the roof's lifetime, you save thousands in labor and materials. Compare to wood shakes, which need professional cleaning and re-staining every few years, or tile, which requires leak-prone mortar upkeep.

Is an Interlock metal roof worth the upfront cost versus asphalt in Hillcrest?

Yes, because it's the last roof you buy. Asphalt costs less initially but needs replacement every 15–20 years; over 60 years, that's three to four tear-offs at $15,000–$25,000 each, plus landfill disposal and re-roofing labor. Interlock's Guardian lifetime warranty and proven 25+ year track record (installed globally since 1998) mean one installation covers your ownership and transfers 50 years of coverage to the next owner, adding resale value. Energy savings from energy-efficiency reflectance compound yearly in Hillcrest's 3,134 sunshine hours annually. Insurance discounts on Class 4 hail rating often recover part of the upfront premium. No maintenance costs. The total cost of ownership heavily favors aluminum over the decades—you're not comparing roofs, you're comparing one purchase to three or four.

Is a metal roof a good choice for Hillcrest’s climate?

Yes. Hillcrest averages about 58 cm of snow, 1230 mm of rain, roughly 69 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 113 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.
