Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Rockland, 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:
Nazar came to look at the concerns I had about my roof. He listened thoughtfully, evaluated the issues explained everything and promptly restored the ridge to my liking. He is the ‘master’ of these roofs!
I had a leak in my bathroom. The man that came was very nice and professional. Very informative thanks
Friendly efficient great service
Great roof, insurance loves it because it’s fireproof. Looks like brand new after 10 years.
Critical: Professionalism, Responsiveness My husband and I purchased a home with an existing Interlock roof from his parents this past year. The roof has been fine, we have no issues. However, we are looking to add an addition to our home and because interlock requires their staff to perform all work on the roof because of the " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">warranty we contacted them regarding this. My husband has attempted to reach Interlock for the past 1-2 months with out any call back from anyone. He just keeps getting the front desk secretary that answers the phone and takes the message. He has even requested to speak with the supervisor of the Sharon branch, but again with no call back. I have never experienced such a terrible customer service experience from a company. I do not recommend pursuing a metal roof with Interlock for the fear that if you had a problem with your roof, you may not get in touch with anyone to repair it. If you do proceed with Interlock, prepare yourself to have to call them multiple times per day every day. Update: I received a call back from Interlock today after receiving my google review. Thankfully, they have begun to work on my outstanding issue. Service: Roof installation
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.
I first found out about Interlock metal roofs when I visited one of our customer's homes and noticed the gorgeous roof...I asked her who installed it for her and she told me it was a metal roof by Interlock. The roof on my house was in very bad shape and I was shopping for a new roof and I put Interlock at the top of my list. Upon doing some research, I realized that an Interlock roof was going to cost me quite a bit more than a conventional shingled roof and I was bummed that it may be out of my budget, so I got several quotes on conventional shingles before I finally decided to contact Interlock and get an accurate quote. From the first contact with the Interlock sales rep, Jeff Smith, I could tell that Interlock was a company that operated at a far higher level than any other home improvement companies I have come in contact with...Jeff was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and prepared! He conducted himself in a professional manner and took the time to ask lots of questions about my goals for the house and roof, he took accurate measurements so he could provide me with an accurate quote and while he was preparing his quote (on the spot), he had me watch an informational video on his iPad that outlined all of the benefits of an Interlock roof (Lifetime Warranty, hail resistant, wind resistant, Energy efficient, snow slides off, etc., etc.). By the end of the video, I was 100% convinced that the product is amazing and I knew it was the roof I wanted...but, I was still nervous that it would be waaayyy out of my budget. I told Jeff of my concerns and he presented me with the quote....which, as I suspected, was almost 2.5 times more than a conventional shingle roof. Once I got over my initial sticker shock, I thought about all the value that I would be getting...Lifetime Warranty, hail resistant, wind resistant, Energy efficient, snow slides off, etc., etc. and the decision became much easier...then, to make it even easier, Interlock offered me great financing which fit my budget perfectly! How could I say no? The roof was installed about 2 months ago and it looks AWESOME!! I am very happy with the decision to spend the extra money for a high quality product and I've already recommended Interlock to multiple people...including my brother who is an architect for high-end homes and he was so impressed with the quality that he's been recommending Interlock roofs to his clients!
It has been a year since I had my Interlock roof installed and I have meant to write this letter. I am glad I waited because I discovered additional advantages to the roof system by Interlock. I initially was impressed by the planning. Mr. Baldassari explained the roof, brought samples, how it would be installed on my house and interface with existing gutters. He also provided local addresses of Interlock roofs that I could view which was very helpful. During the planning process, he recommended changes I may not have thought of but would eliminate future costs and problems. In my case, he recommended the replacement of several failing skylights which I would purchase but be installed at no charge. The job went smoothly. The crew showed up early and stayed late, answered all my questions, leaving a clean, organized job site at the end of each day. The attention to detail was impressive. The house was a complex roof with several skylights, vents, and a masonry chimney. There was also a large barn and outbuilding, Demetri, one of the crew, reinstalled a large weathervane on the barn assuring me if he installed it, it would never come off. I was happy with the roof install. Since the installation, I have found additional benefits. Because my roof had not failed completely the Interlock roof was able to be installed over the existing roof eliminating the cost of strip off and keeping all the asphalt shingles out of the landfill. I also reduced my insurance risk; one of the considerations was the high wind rating. I live in a hurricane high wind zone for insurance coverage. The deductible was about equal to a new asphalt roof if I put a new conventional roof on replacement cost is not covered, and they prorate it and give you even less as the roof ages, so you basically have no roof insurance. I feel I do not have that problem now with the Interlock roof due to the high wind rating and " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">warranty. I have just retired, and this gives me a great peace of mind, a lifetime durable roof. I also lowered my insurance cost as now all buildings have a class “A” fire rating on the roof. The roof qualified for federal energy credits and meets “Energy Star” ratings, so I saved money on taxes. My energy costs are lower; the roof reflects summer heat keeping the attic cooler reducing air conditioning costs. My attic is vented to outside and uninsulated, so there is no advantage to heating. This roof also eliminates " title="ice dams" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">ice dams due to its design, and while many homes had ice dams and water damage to the interior of the house last winter, I had no formation of ice dams and no damage at all, an unexpected bonus. I do not notice any noise from rain or weather an initial concern I had. I live on a busy street and have people stop to compliment on the roof (aged " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">copper) and get information which I am happy to give. I have a more beautiful home, peace of mind, and will never have to re-roof.
Dear Interlock: It has been a couple of months since the installation of my Interlock roof was completed, and two neighborhood endorsements have been forthcoming in that period. First, neighbors have commented about how good it looks, and second, they have commented on the daily cleanup done by the installation crew. I heartily endorse my neighbors’ comments. The cleanup factor really became evident shortly after when a conventional shingle roof was installed a few houses away by a local contractor. Materials were staged in front of the house rather than out of sight in the rear, and the place looked like a mess until the job was completed. As you are aware, the design of my house coupled with the prior construction of an addition across the length of the rear presented unusual challenges. While aluminum shingles could be used on the front, the slope of the back required an installation of Interlock’s membrane roof product. Further complicating the matter was a double roof in the rear with no ventilation of the void between the two roofs. Although you built a ventilation solution into the contract price, hidden construction issues once the work commenced on the rear necessitated redesigning the proposed ventilation solution. This could easily have been an opportunity for Interlock to take advantage of the situation, but the pricing of the change was handled by you and your office staff in a very fair manner. The extensive carpentry that became necessary did, I suspect, add the better part of a day to the job, yet the additional cost was nominal for the effort involved. As important as the pricing was to me, it was just as important and most gratifying to see the carpentry skills employed by the installation crew as they implemented the changes. The one concern my wife had in going with a metal roof was noise during a rainstorm, and some severe weather has shown that noise is not a problem. Also, as everyone is aware, July broke heat records, yet my home’s interior has been more comfortable thanks to the reflectivity of the roof. In conclusion, I am very pleased with the outcome.
The Interlock Roofing System installed on our home has changed the entire look of the building. It has made the house stand out from the other homes on the street. I am happy to say that the new roof has met or surpassed all that we had hoped for. Not only has it improved the look of the house, but, as you mentioned, it has lowered the temperature of the second floor during the " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">hot summer months. The snow catchers placed on the front porch look as decorative as well as functional. It is comforting to know as I approach retirement age, that I will never have the expense of replacing the roof again, nor will I have to worry about leaks in the future. I would also like to comment on the work team that did the installation. I have never had a contractor come in and work as hard as they did. They basically worked from dawn to dusk. I was amazed that they were able to complete the job in about two and a half days, especially considering that they had to redo all the sheathing on our roof. I thank you and your workers for a job well done.
I am writing to let you know how very pleased my husband and I are with our new Interlock roof. We can't believe how very classy our house looks now. It has gone from just another house on the street to "Wow!, look at that house". We can't tell you how many people have stopped on the side of the road to check out our new roof. We have received many complements. We were amazed at how quickly the installation was from start to finish. The yard was cleaned up each and every day at the end of the work day. You wouldn't even of known that we were in the middle of having our roof done. We couldn't be happier that we have decided to invest in the Interlock Roofing. It is something that will last us a lifetime and one less thing that we will have to worry about later on. We will and have recommended Interlock roofing to anyone in need of a replacement or a new roof.
We just had the completion of our new roof. We are happy at how professional the job looks, and how the Interlock material gives the house a different look. It's a very good looking rich roof, we love the way the aluminum pieces interlock each other and make the house look so different than the other roofs. Many of the neighbors have stopped to look at the roof all are impressed how good and nice it looks. The workers were professional, hard workers and fast, and they cleaned up every night. We are very happy and pleased with the decision we made. Finally we do not have to worry about the roof any more.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Rockland
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Rockland, 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 Rockland.
Will a metal roof hold up to Rhode Island's freeze-thaw cycles?
Yes—aluminum's non-porous structure is ideal for freeze-thaw exposure. Rockland experiences about 80 freeze-thaw days per year, a condition that cracks asphalt and splits wood shingles by trapping moisture. Aluminum contains no iron and cannot rust; its oxide layer self-heals when scratched, making it immune to the corrosion cycle that weakens steel. The 3105-H24 aluminum alloy and dual-sided Alunar 70% PVDF coating (warranted 30 years against degradation per ASTM D4214) are engineered for this exact climate stress, from coastal salt air to inland temperature swings.
How does an aluminum metal roof handle heavy snow loads in Rockland?
Interlock's four-way interlocking panels shed snow efficiently while staying secure in your region's winters. Rockland receives about 75 cm of snow annually, plus roughly 1264 mm of rain—totals that demand superior water shedding and panel adhesion. The Shake profile weighs just 0.58 lb/sq ft and the Slate only 0.41 lb/sq ft, so accumulated snow doesn't stress your structure the way slate or concrete tile would. Panels are warranted to resist wind gusts up to 120 mph, anchoring snow in place during the region's typical 18 km/h winds with gusts near 125 km/h. Optional snow guards are available for steeper pitches where you want controlled release.
Why is aluminum better than steel for a roof in a coastal climate?
Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron—the element that oxidizes into rust. Steel rusts when iron reacts with moisture and oxygen, a particular risk in Newport County's salt-air environment and freeze-thaw stress (80 days annually). Interlock panels are made from roofing-grade 3105-H24 / 3003-H24 aluminum alloy (ASTM B209) with a Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish applied to both sides, providing dual-layer corrosion defense. The oxide layer that forms on aluminum self-heals when scratched, meaning minor damage doesn't initiate the rust cycle that ends steel roofs. This material has been installed on Antarctic research stations and coastal salt-air homes since 1998.
Can a metal roof withstand Rockland's winter wind gusts?
Interlock panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph, well above the gusts Rockland typically experiences. Your region records average daily-maximum winds around 18 km/h with gusts approaching 125 km/h (about 78 mph)—within the warranty limit. Four-way interlocking anchors each panel to its neighbors, distributing wind load across the roof system rather than concentrating stress on fasteners. This design is verified under ICC-ES evaluation report ESR-1790 (IBC/IRC, reissued 2025) for residential and commercial framing. Winter storms that might lift standard asphalt shingles cannot dislodge interlocked aluminum panels when installed to specification.
Does a metal roof leak more than asphalt in heavy rain?
Continuous rainfall and coastal moisture demand a watertight roof, and Interlock's four-way interlocking system addresses both. Rockland averages 1264 mm of rain annually—more than most U.S. regions—requiring positive drainage. Overlapping panels and interlocked seams eliminate the gaps where water enters; the system is verified under ICC-ES ESR-1790 for weather-tightness. When installed over a solid deck with underlayment, the roof is as leak-resistant as asphalt but outlasts it by decades. The material itself is non-porous aluminum; unlike asphalt, which absorbs moisture and weakens, aluminum sheds water without degradation. Many homeowners add gutter systems to maximize performance in heavy rain climates.
Will my house need structural reinforcement for a metal roof?
No structural reinforcement is required for most homes. Interlock's Mediterranean Tile profile weighs just 0.59 lb/sq ft—approximately 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile—making it installable over most existing roof decks without upgrading framing. Even the heavier Shake profile at 0.58 lb/sq ft is negligible compared to traditional tile or slate, which can weigh 700+ pounds per square. This light weight also means faster installation and lower labor costs. The panels meet ICC-ES ESR-1790 compliance for residential and commercial structures, eliminating the costly reinforcement that slate, concrete tile, or asphalt-over-plywood systems often require.
Is a metal roof worth the upfront cost over a 50-year lifespan?
When you calculate the total cost of ownership, metal becomes the last roof you buy. Asphalt roofs last 15-25 years and require replacement with landfill disposal and reinstallation costs; Interlock roofs last 50+ years under The Guardian lifetime limited warranty for the original owner, transferable for 50 years to the next owner. Over five decades, that's two to three asphalt replacements versus one metal roof. Material cost is higher initially, but labor (installation once), no tear-off cycles, negligible maintenance, and energy savings (energy-efficient colors with up to 0.55 solar reflectance reduce cooling) compound the savings. Current financing offers no payments and no interest until Spring 2027 or 10% off installation—accelerating your breakeven point.
Will my homeowner's insurance recognize a metal roof's hail resistance?
Interlock roofs carry UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—which many insurers recognize for premium discounts. The warranty covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches, a threshold that exceeds most regional hail events. Rockland's climate involves freeze-thaw stress (80 days annually) rather than frequent hail, but the Class 4 rating provides blanket protection. Contact your insurer with the UL 2218 certification and ICC-ES ESR-1790 documentation; some carriers offer 5-15% discounts for non-combustible, impact-resistant roofing. The aluminum panels are guaranteed not to split, crack, or lose impact resistance under The Guardian warranty, giving you and your insurer confidence in long-term performance.
Can a metal roof reduce cooling costs in Rhode Island's climate?
energy-efficient Interlock colors reflect heat rather than absorbing it, lowering cooling demand even in a temperate climate. Aged Copper Penny achieves initial solar reflectance up to 0.55 with thermal emissivity of 0.84, meaning it bounces sunlight that asphalt absorbs as heat. Rockland receives about 3075 sunshine hours annually—enough that reflective coatings measurably reduce attic temperature and air-conditioning runtime. The Cool Roof Rating Council rating confirms this performance. Over a 50-year roof life, incremental cooling savings compound significantly. Combined with the material's 30-year coating warranty (ASTM D4214 / D2244), the reflective finish remains stable through your region's weather extremes, sustaining energy benefits decade after decade.
