Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for North Pocasset, Massachusetts
| 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 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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
I just had a brand new Dark Grey Metal Roof by INTERLOCK installed. I found everyone that I dealt with from Jonathan Brown in sales and Jennifer Simons in the office and to the crew that did an excellent job ( they were very hard workers)! I am pleased with the outcome of the roof. It looks wonderful, I would highly recommend interlock to anyone who Is looking for a quality roof and excellent and professional installation.
The work was both of excellent quality and done on time. The worksite was left exceptionally clean. I would recommend Interlock Roofing to anyone looking for a great product and great service.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in North Pocasset
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in North Pocasset, 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 North Pocasset.
Will a metal roof handle Massachusetts freeze-thaw cycles better than asphalt or wood?
Yes. North Pocasset experiences roughly 50 freeze-thaw days per year, which causes asphalt to crack and wood to split. Aluminum's 3105-H24 alloy has no grain structure and won't absorb moisture, so it expands and contracts uniformly without damage. The Alunar 70% PVDF coating—warranted 30 years against cracking—adds another layer of freeze-thaw protection. Wood shakes and shingles rely on sealants that fail faster in repeated cycles; asphalt becomes brittle in cold. Aluminum simply cycles without degradation.
Can an aluminum metal roof rust in a coastal New England climate?
No. Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron—the element that oxidizes in moisture. Instead, aluminum forms a thin oxide layer that self-heals when scratched, making it ideal for salt-air exposure. This is why Interlock panels are installed everywhere from coastal homes to Antarctic research stations. The Alunar coating on both sides of every panel adds corrosion resistance rated for 30 years. Steel roofing, by contrast, rusts unless galvanized, and galvanizing fails faster in salt environments than aluminum's natural protection.
How does a metal roof handle North Pocasset's annual snowfall and ice dams?
Metal roofs shed snow and ice far more effectively than asphalt because their smooth, sloped panels have zero friction. With about 59 cm of snow per year, this prevents dangerous accumulation and the weight stress that cracks wood or asphalt. The four-way interlocking panels resist wind gusts up to 148 km/h, so snow won't penetrate seams during heavy nor'easters. Ice dam risk drops dramatically because metal conducts heat differently than asphalt—it doesn't trap warmth at the eave. Optional snow guards can be added if you want controlled shedding rather than full release.
Will a metal roof stay secure during North Pocasset's coastal storms?
Yes. Interlock's four-way interlocking aluminum panels are warranted to resist sustained winds up to 120 mph, and North Pocasset's typical gusts top out around 148 km/h (92 mph) with rare extremes beyond that. The ICC-ES ESR-1790 evaluation confirms the panels' wind resistance under code. When installed to specification by a certified installer, the mechanical fastening and panel overlap create a unified system that won't uplift or separate. This is why Interlock systems have been tested through decades of Atlantic coastal weather.
Does Interlock metal roofing qualify for hail-damage insurance discounts?
UL 2218 Class 4 is the highest impact rating available, and Interlock aluminum achieves it. This means the panels withstand hailstones up to 1.5 inches—large enough to dent or puncture asphalt or wood—without losing their protective or cosmetic integrity. Many insurers offer discounts (typically 10–20%) for Class 4 roofing, which can offset material cost over time. File your warranty documents and UL rating certificate with your insurer. With about 1176 mm of annual rainfall in North Pocasset and hail a real winter threat in New England, this rating directly reduces your exposure and claims risk.
Is an Interlock metal roof worth the upfront cost over asphalt in the long run?
Yes, when you factor in total cost over the roof's life. Asphalt typically lasts 15–20 years and requires tear-off, disposal, and replacement twice or more in 50 years. Interlock's lifetime non-prorated warranty (transferable for 50 years to the next owner) and proven 25+ year real-world track record mean you buy the roof once. No sealant reapplication, no algae treatment, no impact repair costs like asphalt incurs. Current financing offers no payments and no interest until Spring 2027, or 10% off. The Guardian Warranty covers impact, cracking, and corrosion—categories where asphalt fails repeatedly.
How much maintenance does an aluminum metal roof need compared to asphalt or cedar?
Virtually none. Interlock aluminum won't split, rot, or absorb moisture, eliminating the seasonal sealant reapplication, algae treatment, and wood replacement that asphalt and cedar demand. A rinse with a garden hose removes salt spray and debris—critical in a North Pocasset climate where about 1176 mm of rain and coastal salt air accumulate on roofing. Cedar requires re-staining every 3–5 years; asphalt needs sealant touch-ups and moss removal. The CALGreen verification confirms Interlock's reduced maintenance profile. Over 50 years, this translates to hundreds of dollars saved and no risk of discovering rot during winter inspections.
Can I get a metal roof that looks like slate, shake, or tile instead of standing seam?
Yes. Interlock offers five profiles: Slate, Cedar Shingle, Shake, Standing Seam, and Mediterranean Tile—all four-way interlocking aluminum with the same durability and warranty. Each replicates the aesthetic of its namesake material while delivering aluminum's lightweight (about 96% lighter than clay tile), non-rusting, and 30-year fade-resistant finish. The Slate and Cedar Shingle are popular in New England; the Shake and Tile suit coastal and traditional homes. All profiles install over most existing roofs without structural reinforcement. Choose the look that matches your home's architecture and North Pocasset's character while gaining metal's reliability.
Can a new metal roof install over my existing asphalt shingles, or do I need a tear-off?
In most cases, yes—no tear-off required. Interlock's ultralight weight (Shingle profile at about 0.41 lb/sq ft, Tile at about 0.59 lb/sq ft) installs directly over existing roofs without structural reinforcement, saving labor and landfill cost. Your installer (Interlock Metal Roofing New England Inc., serving the region since 1999) will assess deck condition, flash valleys, and seal penetrations. The entire job typically takes 1–3 days for a residential roof. Leaving asphalt in place is faster and cheaper than tear-off, and the metal panels' smooth underlayment creates an air gap that can improve attic ventilation. Your local installer will outline the timeline and options during the site visit.
Do energy-efficiency metal roof colors really lower cooling costs in summer?
Yes. Interlock's energy-efficient colors have thermal emissivity of 0.84 and solar reflectance up to 0.55 (Aged Copper Penny profile), meaning they reflect rather than absorb the sun's heat the way dark asphalt does. In a climate with about 3165 sunshine hours per year like North Pocasset, this reduces attic temperature by 20–30°F on hot days, lowering air-conditioning load and summer utility bills. The Cool Roof Rating Council certification backs this performance. You'll see the biggest savings if your attic is unconditioned or if cooling is a major cost. Light-colored metal also resists UV fading better, protecting the 30-year coating warranty and your roof's appearance across decades of New England sun exposure.
Is a metal roof a good choice for North Pocasset’s climate?
Yes. North Pocasset averages about 59 cm of snow, 1176 mm of rain, roughly 50 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 148 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.
