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 Plainview

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

How does a metal roof handle Plainview's snow and ice buildup?

Interlock's smooth, interlocking aluminum panels shed snow and ice more efficiently than asphalt shingles, reducing ice dam formation that causes leaks. Plainview receives about 63 cm of snow annually across 66 freeze-thaw days, creating repeated expansion-contraction cycles that crack and curl asphalt—but aluminum's non-porous surface and oxide layer resist that damage. The four-way interlock prevents snow from working under panels, and the lightweight design (the Shingle at 0.41 lb/sq ft) means no structural strain from accumulation. Snow guards are available if you want to manage runoff on specific areas.

Why do roofing materials fail faster in areas with freeze-thaw cycling?

Water penetration followed by freezing forces material apart—asphalt becomes brittle and cracks, wood shakes split and rot, and steel corrodes when water reaches the substrate. Plainview experiences roughly 66 freeze-thaw days per year, accelerating this damage. Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron; its oxide layer self-heals when scratched, and it won't absorb water or split like wood. The Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish (both sides, 30-year warranty) seals the surface further. This combination makes freeze-thaw cycles a non-issue for your roof's structural integrity.

Can an aluminum roof rust?

No. Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron; rust is the oxidation of iron. Roofing-grade 3105-H24 and 3003-H24 aluminum alloy (ASTM B209) forms a transparent oxide layer that actually protects the metal and self-heals when scratched. The Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish adds a second protective barrier applied to both sides of every panel. This dual-protection design makes Interlock metal roofing ideal for salt-air environments and freeze-thaw climates like Plainview, where moisture and temperature swings push other materials to fail. The Guardian Warranty explicitly covers rusting—because it will not happen.

Will a metal roof withstand Plainview's wind gusts?

Yes. Interlock roofs are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph when installed to specification, and Plainview's typical gusts reach about 135 km/h (84 mph). The four-way interlocking aluminum panels create a unified system that locks each panel to its neighbors, distributing load and preventing uplift during severe gusts. The ICC-ES evaluation report ESR-1790 confirms performance under the IBC/IRC building codes, which account for regional wind loads. Over Plainview's long-term weather patterns, this interlocking design outperforms nailed-down asphalt shingles, which can peel and fail under sustained or gust stress.

Does a metal roof stand up to hail, and can it lower my insurance costs?

Interlock achieves the highest hail-impact rating available: UL 2218 Class 4. The warranty covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches, a threshold that destroys asphalt and wood. Plainview's climate brings intense weather systems, and Class 4 rating qualifies many homeowners for insurance discounts or credits—ask your agent about savings on your premium. Because aluminum is non-combustible and resistant to impact, hail, wind, and fire, some insurers reduce rates accordingly. The light weight (0.41–0.59 lb/sq ft depending on profile) also eliminates structural risk, which further improves underwriting.

Is aluminum roofing light enough to install over my existing roof?

Yes, in most cases. The Slate profile installs at 0.41 lb/sq ft, and the Tile profile at 0.59 lb/sq ft—roughly 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile. This extraordinary lightness means no structural reinforcement is required, and Interlock installs directly over most existing asphalt roofing without adding load. Plainview homes built in recent decades can support this weight without modification. The installer will confirm your existing structure can handle it during the site visit, but the aluminum's minimal mass is one of its biggest advantages: you avoid the cost and disruption of tearing off the old roof, and your home's framing stays stress-free.

How does a metal roof shed Plainview's heavy rainfall without leaking?

The four-way interlocking panels create overlapping channels that shed water downslope; each panel locks tight to the next, preventing water from working sideways into the seams. Plainview receives about 1251 mm of rain per year, and the panel geometry is designed to handle continuous heavy rainfall without pooling. Installed over a solid deck with underlayment (standard practice), the system functions like asphalt—water that somehow breaches the surface runs to the gutters. The interlocking mechanism and the aluminum's non-porous nature mean water cannot be absorbed or trapped. Proper installation and gutter maintenance ensure leak-free performance in any weather Plainview delivers.

Can a metal roof help reduce cooling costs in summer?

energy-efficient Interlock colors reflect heat rather than absorbing it the way dark asphalt does. Solar reflectance reaches up to 0.55 (Aged Copper Penny) and thermal emissivity 0.84, moving heat away from your home. Plainview averages about 3115 sunshine hours per year; over a summer season, this reflectivity compounds into measurable cooling savings. The Cool Roof Rating Council has verified these values. You won't feel dramatic AC reduction in every month, but cumulative energy savings over years offset part of the roof's cost. Aluminum's thermal properties work alongside insulation; they're especially valuable on south- and west-facing slopes where the sun loads longest.

How does a metal roof compare to asphalt shingles over 30 years?

Asphalt shingles cost less upfront but require replacement every 15–20 years, plus ongoing maintenance (cleaning, moss removal, flashing repairs). Interlock's higher initial cost is offset by a single installation that lasts your lifetime under The Guardian's non-prorated material warranty and requires minimal maintenance—no seasonal cleaning or patching. Over 30 years, you'll replace asphalt one or two times, paying for removal/disposal, labor, and new materials multiple times. Aluminum never rots, splits, curls, or loses impact resistance. Plainview's 66 freeze-thaw days and 1251 mm annual rain accelerate asphalt failure, shortening its life. One metal roof purchase eliminates the cycle; the next owner gets 50 years of coverage, adding resale appeal.

Do you have a local installer serving Plainview?

Yes. Interlock Roofing of America has served Nassau County since 2014 and is familiar with Plainview's climate, building codes (ICC-ES ESR-1790 compliance for IBC/IRC), and typical installation conditions. Local installation means faster scheduling, easier site visits during the planning phase, and reliable follow-up service. The team understands how to handle Plainview's snow load, freeze-thaw cycling, wind gusts, and coastal moisture patterns. They'll assess your existing roof, confirm the aluminum panels will install safely, manage the project timeline, and warrant their labor. Choosing a local installer with 10+ years of regional roofing experience gives you confidence in both the product and the craftsmanship.

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

Yes. Plainview 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.
