Review: April 22, 2004Completion: April 22, 2004

This letter is in regard to our recent purchase and installation of an Interlock Roofing System at our home on 7 Shingle Island Lane in North Dartmouth. We experienced a failing asphalt roof after only 14 years! After a bit of research on the internet, we investigated and decided on an Interlock Roofing System. Our salesman Michael Furman was outstanding. He was friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, and very professional and he answered all our questions pertaining to the materials and their installation. He assured us that our concerns on certain roof areas of our Log Home would be addressed and appropriate materials would be used. He was right! We have a beautiful new green Interlock roof that looks amazing with the dark stained logs! Alex and his crew did an outstanding job during the installation and especially paid attention to the details we were initially concerned with. The crew was hard-working, courteous, and always professional. They were very patient in answering ALL our questions about the installation and challenging areas around the Log dormers and multiple skylights. They worked long days showing much tolerance and patience despite all the rain, cold and wind March/early April threw at them! They made sure at each day's end to clean thoroughly and secure the worksite before leaving. Our neighbors have commented on what a great-looking roof it is and the great job the installers did as well. We've even had people drive down our street from the main road upon seeing the roof to comment on its outstanding look. Many of them have been following the progress since its start. We are so pleased with the final results! It is a very attractive, "rich" looking roof and makes our log home look once again like it was just built! We do highly recommend your product and your company to anyone who is considering a new roof. We are looking forward to a future without facing roof replacement again! Thank you for an excellent product and outstanding service from your company.

Review: May 31, 2005Completion: May 31, 2005

I am writing this letter to you and the installation crew that installed my Interlock Roof I have on my home. I would like to let you know how delighted and happy I am with my Interlock Roof. It was a pleasure working with you doing business with a company so professional as Interlock Industries, Inc. Everyone I spoke to was so helpful and very informative answering all the questions I had. My existing roof was only six years old when I noticed a brown spot on my kitchen ceiling, I couldn't believe a roof six years old was leaking needing repair so soon. I then began the process of looking for a solution. I was looking for a roof that would withstand the weather conditions in New England. I heard about the Interlock Roof from my friends. I began to read and learn about your product from my friends that had Interlock Industries, Inc. install their Interlock Roof couldn't say enough to me about how pleased they were with your product and how wonderful the company was to work with. I was pretty much sold on product. Then when you came to my home explained how this roof would be installed, the Lifetime " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">Warranty - I knew this was for me and just what I was looking for. My home looks beautiful and best of all knowing I will not have to roof again makes me very happy with peace of mind. Thanks again especially for the superb service that was given to me. I would highly recommend the Interlock Roofing System to anyone interested in a new roof and never having to roof again.

Review: February 10, 2017Completion: September 30, 2016

We have had significant damage due to water leaks inside our house over the past 5-6 years. The reasons behind these leaks were ice dams and icicles. Our house is facing north. It gets minimum or no direct sun exposure most winter months. Repairs were costly. The problem, however, would recur every winter. Our roof was about 15-year old and it was not in a bad shape. We had a contractor installing a reinforcement felt in the area of interest (cost about four thousand dollars labor and material) but failed to correct the issue. After a thorough research, we were left to choose between electrical panels or a metal roof. We opted for the later, for both, safety and aesthetic reasons. We found Interlock Industries through internet-Google- search. We are pleased with our 2 choices (metal roof and Interlock) for the following reasons, with few remarks: Estimate and contract Done properly, in a pressure-free environment. Larry Ebbs understood and executed his role well. Communication and coordination With the central office were excellent (Jennifer Simons) Execution A highly professional crew. Neat, detail-oriented, highly efficient, and courteous workers. Two caveats: The crew who worked on our house was not fluent in English, and communication, when occasionally needed, had to happen over a cell phone. The start was phenomenally fast; completing the job dragged a bit longer. Cost Expensive upfront. About 3 times the cost of a shingle roof; cost will go down to about 2.5x with discounts and incentives. Financing option is available, but the interest rate is relatively high. A " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">tax credit is available since (Interlock) metal roofs are energy efficient. Head Roofer Paul McAllister is outstanding (as a person and as far as quality of work). In addition to the metal roof, Paul and his crew successfully fixed a chronic leak from a small flat roof in the back of the house. This is a leak that we tried to repair at least twice (different contractors) without success. Results \* Functionality: We have had 2 major snow storms this winter, between 12-15 inches of snow each time, comparable to prior years. We are delighted to announce that we have not had any leaks. " title="Ice dams" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">Ice dams continued to form, mainly in the northern section of the house (where the insulation, we believe, is imperfect), but they are much smaller in size and fewer in number. No further icicles noted (make sure you don’t stand underneath the roof after a snowy day, as the snow slides off the roof like an avalanche). One downside is the noise caused by the rain drops. This noise is here to stay and will bother some people. \* Appearance: The roof look is outstanding. Sharp and perfect geometry. The color contrasts nicely with the paint. Overall If you live in a snowy region, and you are planning on replacing the roof of your home for functional or aesthetic reasons, or for both, I highly recommend metal roofing. I also recommend metal roofing for new constructions in these areas as well. If you decide to go with a metal roof, Interlock Industries (New England) will meet or exceed your expectations.

Review: October 18, 2004Completion: October 5, 2004

Dear Interlock, We are writing to inform you how pleased and satisfied we are with our newly installed roof. It was a big decision to make, and we were nervous at the time, but when our representative Mike Yaniv, explained and demonstrated the installation of the roof, he really made us feel more at ease. Alex, Dimitre and Dennis were the crew that worked on our roof. Not only did they do a very professional job – but they were also very polite, courteous and friendly. The job was completed in three days with very little mess, as Mike had told us at our first meeting. We were very impressed that the roof was done in such a timely fashion. Only half of the roof was finished, and our neighbors had already called to say they really liked the roof. Needless to say, when it was all finished, we received many compliments from our family and friends. We feel we made the right decision to go ahead with Interlock Roof and are glad we won’t have to worry about replacing it ever again. We would recommend this type of roofing and your company to anyone interested in replacing their roof. The roof looks great, and we are very happy!

Review: December 13, 2020Completion: November 11, 2020

From our first meeting with Jonathan, who was professional, authentic and knowledgeable about roofing, we've had a wonderful experience with Interlock Roofing. The installation team was clean, courteous and skilled at their job. The best part is snow slides off the roof and no more leaks in the house. Nothing. it was all great. It was great, easy to set up and we love the look of the roof

Review: August 26, 2017Completion: August 24, 2017

I can only speak from my experience with Interlock, but their communication, follow-up, installation, and quality have exceeded my expectations of any contractor. My roof is absolutely gorgeous and the talk of the neighborhood. The installers have gone about their work quietly, professionally, and respectfully (cleaning up my yard at the end of each day's work). I highly recommend this product and company to anyone looking to replace their roof with something gorgeous and enduring. This is one of the best decisions I've ever made for my home.

Review: June 28, 2014Completion: April 9, 2014

We love our new roof. We get tons of compliments. the slate style really matches the style of our house (built in 1690). Carefree for life. Overall, they did an exceptional job and were organized and professional. There was some slight mis-communication initially and I'm not sure where the link in the chain was broken, but it appeared someone was mis-instructed on which skylight to take out, either that, or he couldn't read the plans, but I'm not sure. In the end they remedied the problem. Sales person was very knowledgeable and friendly, but be prepared for him to overwhelm you with info (not a bad thing). We couldn't be happier with the product quality and look. Highly recommend this. They also offer financing which was helpful for us. see comments above questions 3 & 4 Best roof ever for quality and look

Review: June 7, 2007Completion: June 7, 2007

No more problems with moss and lichens, like I had with the " target="\_blank" rel="noopener">asphalt shingles. I am extremely happy with my new Interlock Roofing System and to think it has a lifetime warranty. There have been several rainstorms that last couple of weeks and to me the metal roof had added no additional noise at all. The flat roof is also a welcomed addition. The material quality is tip-notch throughout. A flat roof will normally wear out first; however, this also comes with a lifetime " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">warranty. I have been impressed with Interlock from my first awareness at the local home show. I also did investigation through the " target="\_blank" rel="noopener">Better Business Bureau. During all interaction with Interlock, employees have been professional and courteous. The sales presentations were very informative. I was also able to visit half dozen houses locally that had had Interlock Roofing Systems installed. The benefits of the Interlock roof over an asphalt roof are numerous. In these days of rising energy costs and the high price of fuel, the expected energy savings are welcome. I will also be able to take advantage of the energy credit on my taxes this year. The fact that the ">roofing material deflects the heat versus absorbing it will make the house cooler during the summer months. Working with the installation team of Finn and Alex was a delight. The attention they gave to making sure things were done right was greatly appreciated. From the moment they arrived in the morning, till they went home at night, they were constantly working. During the installation period, there were several rainstorms. Alex and Finn always made sure they had things buttoned up before the storm started. We were lucky enough to get a couple of good days and they took advantage of them by working between 10 and 11 hours those days. If I saw anything that I did not like, it was quickly addressed or the explanation was given why it had to be done that way. The answer was always acceptable to me. They took the time to help me understand the various installation tasks. The longevity of Finn and Alex’s careers with Interlock are testimony to Interlock as a company, their product knowledge and experience levels, and work quality. I would highly recommend Interlock Industries roofs to others.

Review: April 9, 2006

My wife and I met Mike Furman at the Home Show in Foxboro this past winter. I had asked about the system in other years but got so turned off by the salesperson I never stayed to talk. This year was the first time we’ve seen Mike. We started to talk with him and were readily put at ease. We were so comfortable talking with Mike that we agreed to have him come to our home and really talk business. Mike has a wonderful way of explaining the Interlock system. Not only is he intelligent and professional, but he is also patient. He never talked down to us or over our heads. He was always neatly dressed but not in a stuffy business suit, someone you could relate to. The roofing crew led by Bakha, Alex (a great craftsman!) and the rest were a pleasure to deal with. They were very polite and accommodating. They worked some very hard, long hours to get the job done. They had to work around New England’s typical weather: sun, rain, " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">hail, snow and wind. The weather delayed them a little, but they were soon done with the job. They cleaned up each night before they left, so we never had to worry about getting nails in our car tires. The roof, it’s beautiful! It complements the style and design of our house. My wife said she had never looked at our roof much before, but now she stops in the driveway to admire it. Our biggest concern about it being noisy in the rain was taken care of. Mike was right! You really don’t hear the rain any more than before. About four years ago, a friend of mine, George, from Berkley, MA, had gotten a metal roof. He loved it and always talked well about it. He has been answering my questions about it over the years and invited my wife and me to see it before we bought it. His is the Interlock system too. Since I’ve been talking to George for the past four years about your roofing system, I believe he should be given a “finders fee.” Thank you.

Review: November 28, 2002Completion: November 27, 2002

I wanted to let you know how happy my wife and I are with our new Interlock roof and the quality of the installation work. The installers presented themselves in a very professional manner. They took great pride in their job and worked on our home as if it was their own. At the end of the day, they always cleaned up after themselves and never inconvenienced my family. They truly were a wonderful crew! The roof looks fantastic. It is much sharper and cleaner looking than our old roof. Since it was completed, we have had several hard rainstorms. The roof performed very well. One of our initial concerns was if rain hitting this new roof would be louder than our old. On those stormy nights, our fears were quickly put to rest. There was no difference in sound compared to our old roof. Then, the night before Thanksgiving, we had a snowstorm. Thanksgiving Day was nice and sunny, and our house was the only one with no snow on the roof. The Interlock roof is, by far, the best home improvement project I have undertaken; it is wonderful knowing I will never have to worry about my roof again. Thanks for the great product and service.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Dennis

The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Dennis, Massachusetts. 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 Dennis.

Will a metal roof hold up to Dennis's freeze-thaw cycles?

Yes—aluminum is immune to the damage that freeze-thaw cycles inflict on asphalt and wood. Dennis experiences about 44 freeze-thaw days per year, which causes asphalt shingles to crack and wood shakes to split as moisture enters, freezes, and expands. Aluminum's 3105-H24 alloy doesn't absorb water, so it expands and contracts uniformly without degradation. The Alunar 70% PVDF coating adds another layer of protection, warranted for 30 years against weathering. Your roof will look and perform the same in year 20 as it does in year one.

How does a metal roof handle the snow loads and ice dams we get in Dennis?

Metal roofs shed snow efficiently because panels are smooth and slightly sloped, reducing ice dam formation compared to asphalt's rougher texture. Dennis averages about 62 cm of snow annually; metal's low coefficient of friction lets accumulated snow slide before ice bonds to the surface. You can install optional snow guards to control descent if desired. The four-way interlocking panel system (ESR-1790 rated) handles typical snow loads without structural stress, and the lightweight design—0.41 to 0.59 lb per sq ft depending on profile—means existing framing never needs reinforcement, unlike slate or clay tile roofs.

Can a metal roof survive the coastal wind gusts Dennis gets?

Coastal Dennis experiences wind gusts up to 160 km/h; Interlock's four-way interlocking aluminum panels are warranted to resist winds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when properly installed. The interlocking design distributes wind load across the entire roof surface rather than concentrating stress on fasteners. With 25+ years of installations from coastal salt-air homes to an Antarctic research station, this product has proven itself in extreme wind zones. Your roof will stay intact and watertight where asphalt shingles curl, lift, or tear.

Does a metal roof rust in a rainy climate like Dennis?

No—aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron, the element that corrodes in oxygen. Instead, aluminum develops a thin oxide layer that actually protects the metal beneath. If scratched, that layer self-heals in days. This matters in Dennis because we average 1157 mm of annual rainfall; water that would trigger rust in steel or iron roofing simply runs off aluminum. Pair this with the Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish (applied to both sides of every panel), and you have double-layer corrosion defense warranted for 30 years. Even in salt-spray environments, aluminum outlasts steel by decades.

How does the four-way interlocking system keep out Dennis's 1157 mm of annual rainfall?

Four-way interlocking means each panel locks to its neighbors on all four edges—top, bottom, left, and right. Water cascades down the profile and sheds outward; there are no seams or fastener penetrations for water to exploit. Installation includes solid deck underlayment (standard in New England), which adds a second defense layer. Dennis's typical rainfall of 1157 mm per year and frequent winter melts require confident drainage; the interlocking geometry ensures water moves toward gutters, not into your attic. This design eliminates the leak points where asphalt shingles separate or nails back out.

Do I need to reinforce my house frame for a metal roof?

No reinforcement needed. Interlock's aluminum profiles weigh 0.41 to 0.59 lb per sq ft; the Mediterranean Tile profile, despite its aesthetic weight, is about 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile. Dennis homeowners often consider a tile look precisely because asphalt has failed, yet traditional tile would demand structural upgrades costing thousands. Metal tile replicates that appearance while installing directly over most existing roofs. Your current framing, whether it's rated for asphalt or older wood shingles, will carry the metal roof safely—a rare advantage of aluminum.

Will hail damage a metal roof, and can I get insurance discounts?

Interlock achieves UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the warranty specifically covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Class 4 rating often qualifies homeowners for insurance discounts or premium reductions; contact your agent with the UL 2218 certification. Asphalt shingles typically achieve Class 1 or 2 at best, meaning hail leaves dents and permanent damage. While Dennis's climate data doesn't flag frequent hail, the durability is there when severe weather hits. The four-way interlocking system also distributes impact force, reducing the likelihood of panel separation.

What warranty does Interlock offer, and how does it protect me as the first owner?

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. Non-prorated means full coverage year one through life; you don't pay a percentage of repair costs after five or ten years like asphalt warranties. The warranty is also one-time transferable, giving the next owner 50 years of coverage from completion date. This structure reflects the real-world lifespan: aluminum doesn't degrade like asphalt (which lasts 15–25 years) or wood shakes (which split after 30 years). You're buying the last roof you'll install.

Will a metal roof lower my cooling costs in summer?

energy-efficient colors reflect rather than absorb solar heat, with thermal emissivity of 0.84 and initial solar reflectance up to 0.55 depending on color. Aged Copper Penny achieves the highest reflectance, bouncing heat that asphalt absorbs and retains. Dennis receives about 3081 sunshine hours annually; summer sun heating your attic is a real cost. Cool Roof Rating Council certification confirms measurable heat reduction. In contrast, dark asphalt can reach 160°F or more on a sunny day, warming the attic and forcing air conditioning to work harder. A reflective metal roof stays cooler and cuts cooling loads, offsetting part of its upfront cost over decades.

How much maintenance does a metal roof require compared to asphalt or wood?

Virtually none. Asphalt shingles require annual inspections, moss or algae removal, and frequent repairs starting around year 10. Wood shakes demand staining every 5–7 years and individual shake replacement as they split. Aluminum panels shed water, don't absorb moisture, and self-heal oxide damage. Dennis's 1157 mm annual rainfall and 44 freeze-thaw days create the exact conditions where asphalt and wood deteriorate fastest; metal simply sheds both water and temperature stress. The CALGreen verification confirms reduced maintenance. Occasional gutter cleaning and inspection of snow guards are your only real tasks—a fraction of the labor asphalt or wood demands.

Is a metal roof a good choice for Dennis’s climate?

Yes. Dennis averages about 62 cm of snow, 1157 mm of rain, roughly 44 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 160 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.
