Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Inwood, 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. |

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 Inwood
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Inwood, 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 Inwood.
Will a metal roof handle Inwood's freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or splitting?
Yes—aluminum has no wood fiber or mineral matrix to expand and contract, so it resists the 58 annual freeze-thaw days in Nassau County without cracking, splitting, or curling. The 3105-H24 aluminum alloy retains its integrity across temperature swings from below freezing to summer heat. The Alunar coating (warranted 30 years against chalking) is a fluorocarbon finish designed to flex rather than embrittle in repeated cold-warm cycles. Wood shingles and concrete tile are vulnerable to this exact seasonal stress; aluminum simply cycles without fatigue, making it ideal for your climate.
How does an Interlock metal roof perform under Inwood's annual snowfall?
The smooth, low-friction metal surface sheds snow and ice efficiently, preventing the ice-dam buildup that plagues asphalt roofs in areas receiving about 55 cm of snow per year. Metal's thermal conductivity allows solar heat (Inwood receives roughly 3193 hours of sunshine annually) to warm the panel underside, reducing adhesion. Four-way interlocking seams eliminate the gaps where water infiltrates during freeze-thaw melt cycles. Snow guards are optional and easily installed if you want controlled runoff, but the roof's intrinsic design prevents the pooling and dam formation that damage gutters and soffits.
Does heavy rainfall leak through an Interlock metal roof?
No. The four-way interlocking aluminum panels create a drainage pathway that sheds water faster than asphalt, which absorbs up to 1214 mm of annual rain in Nassau County. Each seam overlaps in four directions, forcing water to travel down and out rather than inward. Installation over a solid deck and underlayment (the same moisture barrier used on asphalt roofs) means water that somehow penetrates the panel layer encounters a secondary barrier. The system is proven at an Antarctic research station and in coastal salt-air environments—if it works there, Inwood's rainfall presents no challenge.
Is an Interlock metal roof strong enough for Inwood's winter gusts?
Yes. The warranty covers winds up to 120 mph, and Nassau County's typical gusts reach about 136 km/h (roughly 85 mph). Four-way interlocking means each panel is locked on all sides to its neighbors, not merely nailed or screwed; this mechanical integration prevents uplift or separation during high-wind events. The ESR-1790 evaluation confirms code compliance with the 2025 IBC/IRC wind load requirements. Asphalt shingles, which rely on nailing alone, can separate at much lower wind speeds. Your coastal-influenced climate makes this mechanical advantage meaningful—the roof resists the forces that peel and expose underlayment on conventional roofs.
Will an Interlock roof reduce my homeowner's insurance costs after hail damage?
Possibly. The UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating is the highest available and covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Many insurers recognize this rating and offer discounts because metal roofs rarely file hail claims. You'll need to contact your agent with the UL 2218 Class 4 specification and ESR-1790 documentation. Inwood experiences occasional severe weather; asphalt roofs exposed to hail often require replacement or visible damage repair, triggering claims. A Class 4 metal roof's durability means you absorb impacts that would dent asphalt or shatter shingles, protecting your claim history and potentially your premium.
Can an Interlock aluminum roof rust in a coastal climate like Inwood?
No. Interlock panels are roofing-grade 3105-H24 / 3003-H24 aluminum alloy—aluminum contains no iron and therefore cannot rust. When exposed, aluminum forms a thin oxide layer that self-heals if scratched, continuously protecting the underlying metal. The Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish is applied to both sides of every panel, providing extra protection in humid, salt-influenced air near the New York coast. This dual-sided coating is unusual and meaningful: water or salt spray reaching the underside encounters the same corrosion barrier as the top. Steel roofing, by contrast, rusts from both sides once the paint layer fails. Your location's moisture and proximity to Atlantic influences make aluminum's passive corrosion immunity a concrete advantage over steel.
Will I need to reinforce my house structure for an Interlock metal roof?
No. The Slate profile installs at 0.41 lb/sq ft and the Mediterranean Tile (which replicates heavy clay or concrete tile aesthetics) installs at 0.59 lb/sq ft—about 96% lighter than genuine tile. Most homes' framing can support this weight without modification, and the roof often installs directly over existing asphalt shingles. A structural engineer may confirm compatibility for older homes, but the economics are clear: asphalt + structural reinforcement can exceed metal alone. You avoid the cost and disruption of sistering rafters or adding posts. This is particularly valuable in Nassau County, where many homes date to mid-20th century and were designed for conventional roof loads.
How much maintenance does an Interlock metal roof require compared to asphalt or wood?
Virtually none. Aluminum does not rot, split, or curl—common maintenance burdens of wood shingles and asphalt shingles in freeze-thaw climates like yours (58 freeze-thaw days per year). No reshingling, no algae treatments, no sealant reapplication. Occasional debris clearing (leaves, pollen) keeps gutters flowing, a task any roof requires. Asphalt roofs shed granules into gutters and downspouts, requiring regular cleaning. Wood shingles in Inwood's humidity invite moss and require chemical treatment or manual removal. The Alunar coating is warranted 30 years against chalking and fading, meaning even the finish resists the weathering that forces repainting of other materials. Over a 50-year ownership, the maintenance savings compound significantly.
Can an Interlock roof reduce cooling costs in summer?
Yes. energy-efficient colors have a solar reflectance up to 0.55 and thermal emissivity of 0.84, meaning they reflect more of the sun's heat back to the sky rather than absorbing it into your home—critical during Inwood's roughly 3193 annual sunshine hours. Asphalt absorbs this heat, raising attic temperatures and forcing air conditioning to work harder. Metal conducts heat but reflects it first; the difference in summer cooling load is measurable. Cool Roof Rating Council certification confirms this performance. The effect is modest in temperate climates but meaningful when compounded across decades. Combined with the roof's longevity, the energy benefit supports the overall cost-value case, especially as utility rates rise.
Is an Interlock metal roof really worth the upfront cost in Inwood?
Yes, over the roof's full life. Asphalt roofs cost less upfront but require replacement every 15–25 years; in Inwood's freeze-thaw and moisture environment, you'll typically replace asphalt twice over 50 years. Interlock carries a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for the original owner and is transferable with a 50-year term to the next owner—meaning one installation covers your ownership and adds resale value. The cost difference narrows when you factor replacement labor, disposal of old shingles, and the risk of water damage between replacements. Metal's maintenance-free profile (no sealant reapplication, no algae treatment) saves thousands over decades. For homeowners planning to stay long-term or build equity, metal is the last roof you buy.
