Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for West Barrington, 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 West Barrington
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in West Barrington, 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 West Barrington.
Does a metal roof hold up to Rhode Island's freeze-thaw cycles?
Yes—aluminum actually thrives in freeze-thaw conditions because it has no water absorption and expands uniformly. West Barrington experiences about 80 freeze-thaw days per year, which would crack wood shingles and degrade asphalt's seal, but aluminum's oxide layer self-heals when scratched, and the metal won't split, rot, or curl as temperatures swing. The four-way interlocking panels accommodate thermal movement without stress concentration, so your roof remains watertight season after season.
Why don't aluminum roofs rust in salt air or humid climates?
Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron—iron oxidizes and flakes away, but aluminum oxidizes into a transparent, self-healing protective layer that bonds to the metal. With Interlock's roofing-grade 3105-H24 aluminum and Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon coating applied to both sides (especially critical in humid coastal regions), you're protected against the damp, 1264 mm annual rainfall West Barrington receives. Your neighbors with steel roofs will see rust stains; yours will look the same at year 20 as year one.
How does a metal roof handle West Barrington's snow load and ice dams?
Metal roofs shed snow faster than asphalt because they're smooth and slippery, reducing ice dam buildup during freeze-thaw cycles—West Barrington gets about 75 cm of snow annually plus 80 freeze-thaw days, creating ideal conditions for ice dams on conventional roofs. Snow guards can be installed on the interlocking panels for controlled release. The four-way interlocking system ensures no seams separate under thermal stress, so water from melting snow finds no entry points even when backed up behind ice.
Is a metal roof secure in West Barrington's wind gusts?
The four-way interlocking aluminum panels are warranted to withstand wind speeds up to 120 mph, well above the typical gusts West Barrington experiences (about 125 km/h or 78 mph during severe weather). The mechanical interlock—not adhesive or fasteners alone—prevents uplift and separation, so even when autumn nor'easters rattle your gutters, the roof panels stay locked together. This design is proven from coastal salt-air homes to Antarctic research stations, far more extreme than Rhode Island conditions.
Can my existing roof frame support a metal roof, or do I need structural work?
No structural reinforcement needed. Interlock's Slate installs at just 0.41 lb/sq ft and the Mediterranean Tile at 0.59 lb/sq ft—about 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile—so most existing wood-frame homes install it directly over the current roof without adding support beams or posts. Asphalt shingles weigh roughly the same, so if your house has carried them for 20 years, it handles aluminum easily. This saves tens of thousands in structural engineering and means faster installation.
Will a metal roof reduce my homeowners insurance or survive hail?
Interlock achieves UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the warranty covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Many insurers offer discounts for Class 4 roofing because claims are rare; check with your agent for quotes. Given West Barrington's typical spring and fall storm patterns, this rating provides genuine peace of mind. Some customers report lower premiums; savings depend on your carrier and local claim history.
Do energy-efficiency metal roofs really reduce cooling costs?
energy-efficient colors with thermal emissivity 0.84 and solar reflectance up to 0.55 (Aged Copper Penny) reflect heat that asphalt absorbs, lowering peak attic temperatures and reducing air-conditioning load. West Barrington gets about 3075 hours of sunshine annually—enough to matter. Cool Roof Rating Council-rated profiles mean measurable summer comfort without changing your thermostat. The payback depends on your A/C usage and local electricity rates, but the lower cooling demand is real, especially in June–August.
How much maintenance does a metal roof actually need?
Almost none compared to asphalt or wood. Aluminum doesn't require sealing, re-coating, or patching; rainfall (1264 mm per year in West Barrington) naturally cleans debris. You'll inspect gutters and flashing as with any roof, and leaves/needles should be cleared, but you won't power-wash, re-tar seams, or replace curled shingles. Wood shakes split in freeze-thaw cycles; asphalt granules wash away; Interlock's Alunar coating has a 30-year warranty against chalking and fading. Low maintenance means lower long-term cost and fewer contractor callbacks.
Are metal roofs actually recyclable, or is that greenwashing?
Aluminum is about 95% recyclable at end of life, breaking the asphalt tear-off-to-landfill cycle most homeowners accept as unavoidable. When you replace your metal roof decades from now, the old panels go to the scrap market for remelting into new products—cans, automotive parts, building materials. Asphalt shingles (your current roof, likely) are mostly petroleum and fiberglass, becoming landfill. If reducing waste and closing material loops matters to you, Interlock ends that waste stream. CALGreen certification also recognizes reduced maintenance as an environmental benefit over the roof's lifespan.
Is there a local installer in West Barrington with real experience?
Interlock Metal Roofing (New England) Inc. has served Bristol County since 1999, so they know Rhode Island's weather, building codes (ICC-ES ESR-1790 compliance), and local contractor networks for fascia, flashing, and underlayment. They're familiar with West Barrington's home styles and can discuss design choices specific to your neighborhood. Right now, they're offering no payments and no interest until Spring 2027 or 10% off installation—financing that makes sense for a roof that lasts as long as your mortgage.
