Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Buttonwoods, Rhode Island
| 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:
this companies customer service is awful. they never return calls and the lack of communication is unbelievable. when I inquired about the company, I no sooner hit the send button on my computer when someone called to set up an appointment. after I gave them a down payment , and then after one month passed , I inquired to find out if they had any idea when the project would start .now the urgency to return my inquiry was no longer a priority no one would return my call. after i made about 4 calls with no response I had to call the salesman who then called someone and finally i was told that the material hasn't been ordered yet due to the pandemic...fine I can accept that just call and tell me....... more to follow COMMUNICATION AND PROFESSIONAL COURTESY OF RETURNING CALLS HIRE YOUR OWN WORKERS AND NOT INDEPENDANT CONTRACTORS don't schedule installs dec jan and feb in New England i originally learned of this company through my neighbor. she had a roof put on 15 years ago that looks as good today as it did 15 years ago i wanted a metal roof because i'll probably leave my house to my daughters and i figured that was one less headache they would have to worry about because of the life time warranty . well what i have gone through for the last 5 or 6 months has certainly put a dent into that thought. there were so many little things that happened which cast doubt in my mind as to whether or not i made a big mistake going with this company. the biggest and most irritating was not returning my calls. i started thinking.... i can't get this company to return a call just to find out if they have a start up date yet.....what's going to happen if i have any trouble with this roof in the future after it's installed. so my confidence started to decline a little. then as time went on and we got deeper into the winter, i started to wonder how are they going to install a roof during a new england winter i asked should we wait until warmer weather? the front office said there was no problem...metal roofs are not like asphalt and can be installed during the winter. well when the material finally came in and the workers started the job ,the contractor told me they can't work when the temperature is below a certain temperature. completely opposite from what the front office told me.....more doubt starting to build...prior to the start, someone from the main office called me told me the dumpster would arrive the next day at 2 :00 in the afternoon the dumpster arrived the next day at7:30 in the morning ...only missed it by 7 hours.. more doubt growing. the same person also told me they would not deliver the materials until AFTER the blizzard which was expected on a monday. my wife and i went to the store that friday. when we returned home ,guess what was in our yard, you got it ..all the material was delivered once again the complete opposite from what i was told. so this went on and on. another thing , i was told by the salesman that the vents at the peak of my house should be blocked so they don't interfer with the air flow. well the contractor didn't seem too enthusiastic about doing it then said whatever you want.to do. .what ever i want your the professional ,if they needed to be blocked then block them. if they don't then don't block them .they didn't block them. once again the complete opposite from what the salesman said . another little thing . i asked the salesman if they could remove my gutters during the install..they weren't very good and i wanted to try doing without them .he said no problem but when the job started the contractor said it wasn't in the contract , but they will remove them for me anyway .there were also roofing cables which they did remove and rolled up f'or me. but i guess i was supposed to say gutters and downspouts because the 10foot downspouts and drain pipe are still attached to my house. that's no problem but they also broke a frame to one of the windows of my bay window which cost me 175 dollars to replace ...haven't herd anything from the company about paying for it..nor have i heard anything yet about the 500 dollars my neighbor should be getting for a referral fee. well after all these episodes, the straw that broke the camel's back occurred after i paid for the entire job.i paid the crew lead the entire amount as called for by the contract. he signed and dated the check. nothing was said to me about any additional moneys owed.i was PAID IN FULL .the very next day, the salesman who i have not heard from for over five months expressing any type of concern for all the delays i've indured calls me and says i owe over 2000 for additional shingles that had to be removed and rotted wood that had to be replaced. i explained above about all this BS. ALL this ignoring me and not saying one word to me about anything at all for the last 5 months finally peaked with this phone call and caused me to explode. all my questions, all my doubts, all my sleepless nights worrying about whether or not i made a good decision were now answered. did i make a good decision...unfortunately the answer is NO. i am really disappointed to have to write this review. all that i have looked forward to enjoying this roof has really had a damper put on it. to give credit where credit is due..the roof looks great all kinds of people have come by and told me how good it looks. even though the roof looks good, every time it rains ,snows, wind driven snow and rain my heart will be in my mouth hoping and preying that the roof doesn't leak because if it does , i have no faith at all that this company will stand behind its lifetime warranty...very very disappointed steve montanaro
Well, I stand corrected. First I want to apologize for the tone of my last email. I was anticipating a high pressure sales pitch, and dealing with some health issues at present, I was in no mood to deal with being pressured to buy something. Frankly, I was pleasantly surprised with Michael. Although he presented a good argument of why and how Interlock was a good roof product, at no time did my wife or I feel pressured into buying your product. Also, as I've been burned a couple of times in the past, I made it a personal rule that I NEVER sign a contract on first meeting. As you can see, apparently I broke my own rule in this case, as my wife and I had already researched other roof products and it appeared that Interlock was a reputable company with many favorable reviews. Also, much of our opinion was based in no small measure in the way Michael Baldassari presented himself, the company, and the product. Having said this, we look forward with anticipation to showing off our new roof and are hopeful that others in our neighborhood will appreciated the beauty and benefits of an Interlock all metal roof as well.
When I first called, they told me some pricing on the regular shingles. Then, it turned out to be almost fives times more.
Received call that dumpster would be delivered but not construction materials and product was put in second driveway and I preferred in the first driveway. Installers were very professional and hard workers. Only comment about installers was command of the English language was very limited and no one else from the office communicated throughout the 5 day installation.
I didn't like the way they installed the roof, it's not laid out right. I feel like they did a shoty job on a couple of things. I would like them to come back out and fix the things that I'm not happy with. I don't like the way they placed one roof cap on at all. One sticks up and they used clear caulking on that and I don't like the way that looks.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Buttonwoods
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Buttonwoods, Rhode Island. 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 Buttonwoods.
Will a metal roof hold up to Rhode Island's freeze-thaw cycles?
Yes—aluminum actually thrives in freeze-thaw conditions because it has no iron and cannot rust or absorb moisture. Buttonwoods experiences about 80 freeze-thaw days per year, which would crack asphalt shingles and cause wood to split. The Alunar PVDF coating (warranted 30 years) protects both sides of each panel, and the four-way interlocking seams shed water so efficiently that ice can't migrate into gaps. Your roof won't expand, contract, or degrade from repeated freezing.
Why don't Interlock metal roofs rust like some steel roofs do?
Interlock uses 3105-H24 and 3003-H24 aluminum alloy, which contains no iron—the element that rusts. When aluminum oxidizes, it forms an invisible, self-healing oxide layer that actually protects the metal underneath. Even if a panel is scratched, that layer regenerates automatically. Steel roofs, by contrast, need protective coatings to prevent rust, and those coatings can fail. Given Buttonwoods' average annual rainfall of about 1264 mm, this passive protection is a genuine advantage over time.
How does a metal roof handle heavy snow loads in Buttonwoods?
Metal roofing sheds snow more effectively than asphalt because its smooth, interlocked surface offers less friction and ice dams form less readily. Buttonwoods receives roughly 75 cm of snow annually, but the Interlock Slate, Cedar Shingle, Shake, and Mediterranean Tile profiles are engineered with standing seams and panel geometry that promote drainage. Snow guards are available if you prefer controlled shedding. Because the aluminum panels weigh only 0.41 to 0.59 pounds per square foot—about 96% lighter than traditional tile—your home's structure carries a fraction of the load compared to heavy slate or clay.
Can a metal roof withstand Buttonwoods' coastal wind gusts?
Absolutely. The four-way interlocking aluminum panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph when installed to specification. Buttonwoods experiences typical daily-maximum winds of about 18 km/h with gusts reaching 125 km/h, which falls within the roof's rated tolerance. The interlocking design means no fastener depends on a single point of failure; instead, each panel is locked to its neighbors, distributing wind load across the entire roof assembly. This redundancy is why Interlock achieves a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available.
Will a metal roof lower my homeowners insurance or help with hail damage?
Interlock metal roofs carry a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating, the highest hail-resistance classification available. The warranty covers even perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Because metal roofing is so impact-resistant, many insurers offer discounts on homeowners' policies—sometimes 10 to 20 percent. Ask your agent about a quote once your new roof is installed. Given Buttonwoods' climate and the roof's durability, this discount often recouples installation cost savings within a few years.
Is a metal roof really cheaper over its lifetime than asphalt shingles?
Yes. A typical asphalt roof lasts 15–25 years and requires replacement two or three times over a 50–75 year span. Interlock's Guardian Warranty is lifetime limited, non-prorated for the original owner, and transferable for 50 years to the next owner. You won't replace it. Add in lower maintenance, no algae or fungal growth, potential insurance discounts, and resale appeal, and the per-year cost becomes significantly lower. Our current promotion—no payments and no interest until Spring 2027, or 10% off installation—makes the transition even more accessible.
How much maintenance does an Interlock metal roof actually need?
Far less than asphalt, wood, or tile. No moss, algae, or fungal growth takes hold on aluminum. Gutters may collect leaves (like any roof), but the smooth, interlocked surface sheds debris and requires no resealing, repainting, or coating reapplication. Buttonwoods receives about 1264 mm of rain annually, which keeps the Alunar finish clean naturally. The roof is verified under CALGreen standards for reduced maintenance. Inspections every few years are wise, but active maintenance is minimal—no algaecide treatments, no shingle replacement, no wood staining.
Can an Interlock metal roof install over my existing roof?
Yes. Because the aluminum panels weigh only 0.41 to 0.59 lb/sq ft, installation typically occurs directly over your existing asphalt shingles—no tear-off, no structural reinforcement needed. The lightweight construction works over most residential framing. Interlock Metal Roofing (New England) Inc. has served this region since 1999 and handles the installation, underlayment, and flashing to ICC-ES ESR-1790 specification. The process is faster and less costly than traditional tear-off-and-replace, and your home avoids weeks of disruption and landfill waste.
Can a metal roof really reduce cooling costs in summer?
energy-efficient Interlock colors reflect heat rather than absorb it, with initial solar reflectance up to 0.55 and thermal emissivity of 0.84—meaning less heat enters your attic in warm months. Buttonwoods receives about 3075 sunshine hours annually, so reflectance matters. Cool Roof Rating Council tested these colors independently. On hot days, a reflective metal roof can lower attic temperature by 20–30 degrees Fahrenheit compared to dark asphalt, reducing cooling-system runtime. In Buttonwoods' moderate climate, the benefit is steady year-round, extending to fall and spring comfort.
What does Interlock's lifetime warranty actually 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's transferable once to the next owner for 50 years from completion, which enhances resale value and buyer confidence. Because aluminum cannot rust and the Alunar fluorocarbon finish is warranted 30 years against chalking and fading (measured to ASTM D4214 and D2244 standards), claims under this warranty are rare. It's insurance that gives you peace of mind across decades—and proves Interlock stands behind its product.
Is a metal roof a good choice for Buttonwoods’s climate?
Yes. Buttonwoods averages about 75 cm of snow, 1264 mm of rain, roughly 80 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 125 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.
