Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for South Providence, 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. |

Check back with me in about 3 months if you have not heard back from me
Thanks for showing us the product
Larry was knowledgeable and courteous. We will get a new roof with interlock once this one wears out.
First of all. On the day of delivery" 8/15/2015, "I called Jeniffer and she told me the delivery truck was on its way. There was no previous notice of delivery. What if I was not home? Or had something to do of importance. This was not considered. Second of all Michael B. spent to much time in my garage inspecting. My brush to my heavy vacuum, went missing. I noticed it immediately after he left. As far as your workers, some smoke to much and where not efficient enough and worked very slow. They took more breaks than work. No one spoke English except one person who was suppose to be in charge. And while the stripping was being done the leader kept leaving and left for hours and the workers were not prepared properly. After two days of stripping my plants where not protected as promised. I yelled at one worker for carelessness. Every morning I was promised they would start work at 7am. They never ever showed up until 11:30am everyday after; except the last day which was day 5. And instead of 7am as promised it was 7:45am. They milked my whole weekend. They started on a Thursday and ended after noon" on Monday. I never got the paperwork for the dumpster which had no permit to be on the street. It would never had fit in my driveway. Michael B. knew this. This is why they chose to work on the weekend so they would not have to pay for the dumpster permit. I had to go and by traffic cone and caution tap to mark off the dumpster and protect my property from traffic. Also the objects used to brake up snow fall were promised on both sides of the main roof. However when the leader came to me and said they where not ordered he only had enough for one side of the house. And that the material that was ordered and not used or not here", would be deducted from the original price. When the material was delivered it was placed inside my garage I did not get a manifest of what was actually purchased. My gutter hangers were re bought because of the mis-care of dismantling and new hooks had to be purchased. They were just snapped off. That did not please me. I did feed them the last day of work to show my kindness. However part of my gardening tools went missing. The clean up looked ok, but after a day of getting my house back I did a clear inspection and found cigarette butts all over the place and nails. They should have been vacuumed up. This was a ruff 5days for such a small project. There promptness to time and duty showed no respect to me as the owner of said property. There was very little communication because it did not make sense to talk to the workers because no one spoke English. What a nightmare. By day 4 I wanted them gone. But I could not interact because my roof's would not have gotten done or finished. One noticeable thing was when they called and said there tire's had gotten slashed and they would be late. On that same day after the repair, the leader went out to Home Depot, 3 miles away and he got another flat and came back after 6pm. Leaving inexperienced workers just standing around smoking cigarettes, lying down on the roof waiting. My neighbors came over to my home and even called me on the phone wondering why or what was wrong. This was not a good day. This set me a day back. I was not happy. No communication and not happy. What a lazy crew. After they left I sent jeniffer a good report and photo's. When I went to get my gardening tool" and found it was missing, all gloves came off and the real truth came out which is now. I was willing to forget and forgive. But sense you asked for this survey, you are getting the truth and "I WILL STAND BY THIS STATEMENT". LIKE OR NOT. And after I sent Jeniffer that invoice for the items purchased by fax (508-660-6918) and phone call 508-660-6665; all I get is CANADA answering service. And no email from [email protected]. I have left messages with InterLock Inc. for Jeniffer with no response. I get very angry when I get no response from a company that I am spending thousands of US Dollars with and they just fall off the grid", because the billing and workers are not connected. It feels almost like a scam. There are still missing pieces to my gutter hangups. All of the hangups were present when they started but not when they finished. And the snow breakup material for the "Main Roof" are only on one side. Yet I paid for all the materials for the whole completion and got only half. I know I signed off on this project. However you have material at my cost that does not belong to you and no material list of deduction paid for and "not received. I trusted you. And you are asking me for a referral? I don't think so. It's only been 8 days since you left. And it took me eight days to do my final inspection of the truth. I left them on there own to lockup after cleaning up. I had to leave on a important matter. It has not rained yet, so I do not know if there will be any leaks. Its a shame when you have only "one person with total experience and the rest have to wait to be told what to do. That's why it took five days to complete the roof's work. What a shame. And what a nightmare for the owner'; "me. I ate the steak. So I have to pay for it. HOWEVER, I WILL NOT REFER ANYONE TO DINE OR EAT AT YOUR TABLE. The garage and home looks good. We'll just wait for the weather to see how well your material and work hold.If there is a problem", YOU WILL BE CALLED. And if there is no proper response, you will get a call for my State Of Rhode Island Governor's Office to your State Governor's Office and State Legislators and State Representatives as non- cooperative, out of state out of country business.
an agent at my Credit Union indicated that she needed a new roof. I told her about Interlock. I also left information with another friend. Nothing I can think of I love the look of this roof. I love how nothing sticks or "grows" on it ....even the squirrels have a problem running on it!
The salesmanship is an asset to the company
As far as the product goes I can see the advantage of what they have to offer. The person that came out was very knowledgable, professional, and there was no pressure in his sales pitch.
Even though I have only had my new roof for one week, I don't feel it's too soon to tell you how much I love it. It looks so neat and professional. My neighbors are all going crazy over it! It has made a big hit in my neighborhood. The workers who installed the roof were professional, courteous, hard workers, and extremely neat. Sometimes big home improvements can be very stressful. This was stress-free. Also, I have to say last night it rained so hard, but I did not hear a thing. I can't tell you how happy I am I made this investment, Paul Curtis was a pleasure to work with, a true professional. I would definitely recommend your company and Paul to others. In addition, I had the pleasure of speaking with Paul McAllister. Who was also professional and courteous.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in South Providence
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in South Providence, 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 South Providence.
Will a metal roof handle South Providence's freeze-thaw cycles?
Yes—aluminum roofing is engineered for freeze-thaw durability. South Providence experiences about 83 freeze-thaw days annually, where moisture penetrates traditional materials and causes cracking and splitting. Aluminum's non-porous 3105-H24 / 3003-H24 alloy absorbs zero water, so expansion and contraction cycles cause no material degradation. The Alunar 70% PVDF coating (both sides, 30-year warranty) seals the substrate completely. Over 25+ years, freeze-thaw immunity becomes the primary cost advantage over asphalt and wood shakes, which fail predictably in this climate.
Why can't aluminum roofing rust in salt air or wet climates?
Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron—iron is what oxidizes to form rust. Instead, aluminum develops a self-healing oxide layer that instantly re-seals when scratched or punctured. In South Providence's 1198 mm annual rainfall and coastal-influenced environment, this property is critical. Steel roofing requires paint maintenance and eventually fails; aluminum does not. The Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish (applied to both panel sides) adds 30-year fade and chalking protection, but the metal itself is corrosion-proof. This is why Interlock installs from coastal salt-air homes to research stations in Antarctica.
How does a metal roof perform under South Providence's snow load?
Metal roofing handles snow exceptionally well because its weight allows snow to build up safely without structural risk. South Providence averages about 76 cm of snow annually; a metal Slate panel weighs only ~0.41 lb/sq ft—nearly 96% lighter than real slate or concrete tile. Snow insulates the metal surface and slides cleanly during freeze-thaw cycles (about 83 per year), preventing ice-dam dam formation better than asphalt. The four-way interlocking seams and standing-seam profile options shed water and ice efficiently. Optional snow guards are available if you want to retain snow for insulation value.
Can a metal roof survive South Providence wind and nor'easter gusts?
Interlock metal roofing is warranted to resist 120 mph winds (193 km/h) when installed to specification. South Providence's typical gusts reach 118 km/h, so you have a safety margin. The four-way interlocking aluminum panels lock together mechanically—fasteners alone do not hold the roof. Wind tests (UL/ASTM protocol) confirm that the system performs as a unified membrane. This matters during spring nor'easters and autumn hurricanes. Installation over your existing roof (no tear-off) preserves mass and stability. The guardian warranty explicitly covers wind-related panel separation and fastener pullout.
Does Interlock metal roofing get damaged by hail, and will insurance help?
Interlock metal roofing carries a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available. The warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Most metal roofs dent slightly in severe hail; Interlock's thick aluminum and engineered panel geometry minimize denting. Because the roof doesn't perforate, water intrusion doesn't occur, so insurance claims are rare. Many insurers offer discounts for Class 4-rated roofing, sometimes 10–20% on home premiums. South Providence's climate produces occasional severe weather; Class 4 impact resistance provides certainty that your roof will not leak or require repair after a hail event.
Is a metal roof a good value compared to asphalt shingles in Rhode Island?
Metal roofing costs 2–3 times more initially but lasts 3–5 times longer and requires almost no maintenance. A typical asphalt roof lasts 15–20 years in South Providence's climate (1198 mm rain, 76 cm snow, 83 freeze-thaw days annually). Interlock's lifetime limited warranty on material, coupled with the transferable 50-year coverage for the next owner, means you buy one roof. Asphalt requires tear-off and landfill disposal every generation. Financing is available: no payments and no interest until Spring 2027, or 10% off installation. Over 40+ years, metal roofing saves money, eliminates re-roofing labor, and preserves your home's structural integrity.
Does metal roofing leak during heavy rain?
Interlock's four-way interlocking seams shed water mechanically, not adhesively. South Providence receives about 1198 mm of rain per year across all seasons; the overlapping panel design channels water downward without ponding or bypass. Standing-seam and Slate profiles are particularly effective in heavy rain. Installation over your existing roof (no tear-off) adds an extra air gap and drainage layer, doubling leak prevention. The panels are installed to ICC-ES evaluation ESR-1790 standards (reissued 2025) for watertightness. Unlike asphalt (which degrades under UV and rain over 15–20 years), aluminum does not soften, curl, or lose granules. You will not experience leaks from material failure.
Will I need to reinforce my home's structure for a metal roof?
No structural reinforcement is required. Interlock's Mediterranean Tile profile weighs ~0.59 lb/sq ft—about 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile (which can weigh 10–14 lb/sq ft). Even the heaviest Interlock panel is lighter than asphalt shingles. This allows metal roofing to install directly over existing asphalt, wood, or shingles without assessment or engineering. South Providence homes built in any era can support metal roofing. The four-way interlocking design distributes weight evenly across the roof deck. Installation over your existing roof (no tear-off, no decking reinforcement) keeps labor costs low and work duration short—typically 3–5 days for a residential project.
How much maintenance does a metal roof need in Rhode Island?
Interlock metal roofing requires virtually no maintenance. Asphalt requires annual gutter cleaning and regular inspection for missing granules, curling, and water damage—especially in climates with 83 freeze-thaw cycles per year like South Providence. Metal roofing does not split, curl, rot, or lose coverage. Gutters still need seasonal cleaning (standard for any home), but the roof itself never needs recoating, re-sealing, or repair. The Alunar 70% PVDF finish (30-year warranty against chalking and fading per ASTM D4214) stays bonded through 3050 hours of annual sunshine and heavy rain. Annual inspections are optional; the warranty covers material degradation. This eliminates decade-long maintenance cycles that asphalt and wood require.

Is a metal roof a good choice for South Providence’s climate?
Yes. South Providence averages about 76 cm of snow, 1198 mm of rain, roughly 83 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 118 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.
