Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Port Washington, 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 Port Washington
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Port Washington, 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 Port Washington.
Will a metal roof handle Port Washington's freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or failing?
Yes—aluminum expands and contracts with temperature changes but does not crack, split, or become brittle like asphalt or wood. Port Washington experiences about 66 freeze-thaw days per year, cycling between wet and below-freezing conditions that degrade organic roofing materials. Interlock's 3105-H24 aluminum alloy is engineered for exactly this: the metal flexes without permanent deformation, and the Alunar 70% PVDF coating (warranted 30 years) prevents moisture penetration that causes ice-dam damage in traditional roofs. Your roof stays intact through decades of seasonal stress.
How does an Interlock roof perform under Port Washington's average 63 cm of annual snow?
The aluminum panels shed snow efficiently because they are slick and lightweight—the Shake profile weighs just 0.58 lb/sq ft, so accumulated snow does not sag the roof or create structural load concerns. Snow guards can be installed if you prefer to retain snow for insulation or aesthetics. The real advantage over asphalt: ice dams form when roof heat escapes and melts snow at the edge. A properly ventilated metal roof with high solar reflectance (up to 0.55 for energy-efficiency colors) reflects more winter sun than asphalt absorbs, reducing ice-dam formation—a critical issue in Port Washington's 66 annual freeze-thaw days.
Can an Interlock metal roof withstand Port Washington's coastal wind gusts?
Yes. The four-way interlocking aluminum panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph, well above the typical 18 km/h mean winds and occasional gusts to 135 km/h recorded in Nassau County. Each panel locks to its neighbors on all four sides—top, bottom, and both edges—distributing wind load across the entire roof rather than relying on fasteners alone. This mechanical interlock is why Interlock Roofing of America has installed thousands of roofs from coastal salt-air environments to extreme-weather locations. Your roof will not lift or peel in a nor'easter.
Does aluminum rust like steel roofing, especially near the Atlantic coast?
No. Aluminum does not rust because it contains no iron; iron oxidizes in moisture and salt air, but aluminum forms a transparent oxide layer that protects the metal beneath and self-heals when scratched. Port Washington's proximity to salt water makes this critical—steel corrodes rapidly here, but aluminum thrives. Interlock adds extra durability by coating both sides of every panel with Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish, warranted 30 years against chalking and fading. Even in harsh coastal climates, Interlock panels (manufactured since 1998 in Delta, BC, a coastal city) maintain their appearance and integrity indefinitely.
Do I need to reinforce my home's structure for a metal roof?
No structural reinforcement is required. Interlock's Mediterranean Tile profile, which replaces heavy clay or concrete tile, weighs only 0.59 lb/sq ft—approximately 96% lighter than traditional tile. This means you can install a metal roof over most existing asphalt or lightweight roofing without expensive framing upgrades. For homeowners in Port Washington considering a tile aesthetic, this weight difference is transformative: you get the architectural look without the engineering cost, and the roof installs faster because your home's structure doesn't have to be modified.
Will my homeowner's insurance recognize a metal roof's hail resistance?
Interlock panels carry a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the Guardian Warranty covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Many insurers recognize this durability and offer discounts on homeowner policies for Class 4 roofing. Nassau County does experience hail during spring and summer storms; a Class 4 metal roof reduces your risk of major damage and potential claims. When shopping insurers, share the UL 2218 Class 4 certification and the warranty details—this documentation often qualifies you for lower premiums than asphalt shingles, which offer no comparable impact protection.
Can an Interlock roof actually reduce my cooling costs in summer?
energy-efficient colors with initial solar reflectance up to 0.55 reflect more summer heat than asphalt absorbs, lowering attic temperatures and reducing air-conditioning load. Port Washington receives about 3115 hours of sunshine annually, so reflective coatings provide tangible cooling benefit from May through September. Thermal emissivity of 0.84 also radiates absorbed heat away at night. Over a 25-year roof life, the combination of reduced cooling costs and minimal maintenance savings (no granule replacement, algae cleaning, or annual inspections) often recovers your material premium—making the roof a net financial gain, not an expense.
How much maintenance does a metal roof need compared to asphalt shingles?
Virtually none. Asphalt shingles require granule replacement, moss and algae removal, annual inspections for curling or damage, and debris clearing—especially in Port Washington, where 1251 mm of annual rainfall and freeze-thaw cycling accelerate deterioration. An Interlock aluminum roof sheds debris naturally, does not support moss growth (aluminum is inhospitable to biological colonization), and requires only occasional visual inspection. The Alunar 70% PVDF coating is CALGreen-verified for reduced maintenance. Over 40 years, you might clean gutters; you'll never replace granules, seal leaks, or repair ice-dam damage.
What makes the Guardian Warranty different from other metal roof warranties?
The Guardian is a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for the original owner—covering rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance—and it's one-time transferable, giving the next owner 50 years from roof completion. Most asphalt warranties are prorated (you pay for repairs after year 10) and worthless after one owner. When you eventually sell, the transferred 50-year term adds tangible resale value. Combined with the 30-year coating warranty (ASTM D4214 / D2244 measured), a homeowner in Port Washington is protected against the specific wear modes that plague this climate: freeze-thaw, heavy rainfall, salt air, and ice-dam related damage.
Is aluminum roofing actually better for the environment than asphalt shingles?
Interlock panels are approximately 95% recyclable; when they eventually need replacement (unlikely in your lifetime), they return to the aluminum supply chain. Asphalt shingles, by contrast, are torn off every 15–25 years and buried in landfills—millions of tons annually across North America. Port Washington's waste management challenges are eased when homeowners choose a roof that eliminates the tear-off-to-landfill cycle. Aluminum recycling requires far less energy than virgin production, so each recycled Interlock panel reduces embodied carbon. Over the roof's 50+ year lifespan, the environmental advantage compounds significantly compared to 2–3 asphalt replacements.
Is a metal roof a good choice for Port Washington’s climate?
Yes. Port Washington 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.
