Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Ronkonkoma, 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 Ronkonkoma
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Ronkonkoma, 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 Ronkonkoma.
How does a metal roof handle Ronkonkoma's snow and ice buildup?
Interlock's four-way interlocking aluminum panels shed snow and ice efficiently due to their smooth, hard surface and secure seaming—unlike asphalt shingles that trap moisture. Ronkonkoma receives about 58 cm of snow annually with roughly 54 freeze-thaw cycles per year, creating repeated expansion and contraction that degrades traditional roofing. Aluminum's oxide layer strengthens with each freeze-thaw cycle rather than weakening. Optional snow guards are available if you prefer retained snow for insulation. The panels' exceptional light weight (~0.41 lb/sq ft for Shingle profile) means no structural reinforcement is needed, even under maximum seasonal accumulation.
Will freeze-thaw cycling damage an aluminum metal roof in New York winters?
No—aluminum actually resists freeze-thaw damage better than materials that absorb water. Ronkonkoma experiences about 54 freeze-thaw days annually, which causes asphalt to crack, wood to split, and concrete/clay tile to spall. Aluminum is non-porous; it cannot absorb moisture and therefore cannot freeze internally. The 3105-H24 alloy used in Interlock panels meets ASTM B209 specifications for durability. Coating durability is separately warranted for 30 years against chalking and fading (ASTM D4214), confirming material stability across decades of thermal cycling. The four-way interlocking design keeps water sealed at panel edges, eliminating pathways for freeze damage.
Why can't an aluminum roof rust like steel roofing?
Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron—the element that oxidizes and corrodes. Instead, aluminum's oxide layer (aluminum oxide) forms instantly and self-heals when scratched. Ronkonkoma receives about 1222 mm of annual rainfall and salt-air exposure near coastal regions; these conditions accelerate steel corrosion but do not harm aluminum. Interlock panels use roofing-grade 3105-H24 / 3003-H24 aluminum alloy (ASTM B209) and are finished with Alunar® 70% PVDF fluorocarbon on both sides—extra protection for humid, wet climates. The Guardian Warranty explicitly covers rusting, reflecting confidence in the material's inherent corrosion resistance across Suffolk County's wet seasons.
Can an aluminum metal roof withstand Ronkonkoma's coastal wind gusts?
Yes. Interlock panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph when installed to specification—well beyond typical gusts in this region, which average around 21 km/h (13 mph) with occasional gusts recorded near 142 km/h (88 mph). The four-way interlocking design locks panels together at all edges, creating a unified system that distributes wind load across the entire roof. This integration, combined with the aluminum alloy's strength-to-weight ratio, eliminates the panel flutter and lifting that plague loosely fastened asphalt shingles. Installation by Interlock Roofing of America (serving since 2014) ensures proper fastening to meet ICC-ES ESR-1790 code compliance.
Does a metal roof reduce hail damage and insurance costs?
Interlock panels achieve UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and are warranted against perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. This non-negotiable durability may qualify you for homeowners insurance discounts; contact your carrier with the UL 2218 Class 4 rating. While Ronkonkoma's climate data does not indicate frequent severe hail, the material's proven resilience provides long-term peace of mind. The aluminum alloy retains its structural integrity and impact resistance across the product's lifetime, unlike asphalt shingles that become brittle and more vulnerable to impact as they age. Claim this durability advantage when negotiating insurance terms.
Will an aluminum roof reduce my cooling costs in summer?
energy-efficient Interlock colors with initial solar reflectance up to 0.55 (Aged Copper Penny) and thermal emissivity 0.84 reflect heat that asphalt absorbs, lowering roof surface temperature and cooling load. Ronkonkoma averages about 3127 sunshine hours annually; over months of strong sun exposure, reflective coatings compound savings. Cool Roof Rating Council certification confirms performance. Light-colored profiles reduce attic temperature rise, particularly beneficial for top-floor rooms. The Alunar® PVDF coating maintains reflectivity for 30 years (ASTM D2244), so energy savings persist without degradation. Darker colors (slate, shake) still outperform aged asphalt while delivering aesthetic versatility.
Can I install a metal roof over my existing roof without adding structural support?
Yes, if your existing roof can support asphalt shingles, it can support Interlock aluminum panels—they are remarkably light. The Tile profile, which replicates the weight of concrete or clay tile, installs at approximately 0.59 lb/sq ft and is about 96% lighter than actual clay or concrete tile. Shake is about 0.58 lb/sq ft; Shingle is 0.41 lb/sq ft. This weight advantage eliminates costly structural reinforcement and permits installation directly over existing asphalt, wood shake, or tile roofs. Interlock Roofing of America can assess your current roof's condition during an on-site evaluation and confirm installation options. Reduced structural demand also means lower installation labor costs compared to traditional slate or tile replacement.
How long does it take to install an Interlock metal roof in Ronkonkoma?
Installation timeline depends on roof size, slope, and complexity, but Interlock Roofing of America (serving the region since 2014) uses streamlined processes to minimize disruption. Over-roof installation—installing directly over your existing roof—is faster than tear-off and removes the disposal cost of old shingles. Ronkonkoma's moderate winter climate (about 58 cm snow per year, 1222 mm rain) permits extended installation seasons compared to heavily snow-burdened regions. Four-way interlocking panels interlock during installation, eliminating individual fastening delays and creating weather-tight seals immediately. A detailed site visit and quote from the local installer will confirm your project's specific timeline and any site-access considerations.
How is aluminum roofing more environmentally responsible than asphalt?
Interlock panels are approximately 95% recyclable at end of life, whereas asphalt shingles—weighing far more per square foot—contribute billions of tons to landfills annually. A typical asphalt roof requires tear-off and disposal every 15–20 years; Ronkonkoma's wet climate (1222 mm rain, 54 freeze-thaw cycles yearly) accelerates this replacement cycle. Aluminum's lifetime durability with transferable warranty (50 years for second owner) means fewer replacements over a century. Because aluminum is non-combustible and requires no tar, adhesives, or petroleum-based binders, manufacturing impact is lower per installed year of service. Recycled aluminum content is standard in the roofing industry, creating a circular supply chain. Choosing Interlock breaks the asphalt tear-off-to-landfill cycle while delivering superior performance in wet, freeze-thaw regions.
What does Interlock's lifetime warranty really cover?
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. It is transferable once to the next owner, extending 50 years from completion date. Non-prorated means full coverage applies throughout—you never face reduced coverage as the roof ages. This structure reflects confidence in aluminum's durability across Ronkonkoma's challenging climate: 1222 mm annual rainfall, 54 freeze-thaw cycles, and wind gusts to 142 km/h. The coating itself is separately warranted for 30 years against chalking and fading (ASTM D4214 / D2244 standards). No other roofing material—asphalt, wood, concrete tile—offers comparable non-prorated lifetime coverage for material defects. This is the last roof you will buy.
