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 Pocasset

The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in 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 Pocasset.

How does a metal roof handle the snow and ice that Pocasset gets every winter?

Aluminum metal roofing sheds snow and ice effectively because its smooth, hard surface prevents accumulation and reduces ice dam formation compared to asphalt. Pocasset averages about 59 cm of snow annually with roughly 50 freeze-thaw cycles per year—conditions that crack and curl asphalt shingles but leave aluminum unchanged. The four-way interlocking panels lock together to prevent water infiltration even as snow melts and refreezes. Optional snow guards can be installed if you want to retain snow for insulation or prevent runoff onto lower roofs.

Will a metal roof crack or warp from Pocasset's freeze-thaw cycles?

No. Aluminum has no wood fiber or asphalt binder to crack under freeze-thaw stress. With 50 annual freeze-thaw days typical for your area, asphalt shingles deteriorate noticeably; aluminum remains dimensionally stable. The 3105-H24 / 3003-H24 aluminum alloy (ASTM B209) resists fatigue from repeated temperature swings. Its oxide layer also self-heals when scratched during snow removal or installation, preventing corrosion initiation. This durability is why Interlock panels have been installed from coastal salt-air homes to Antarctic research stations since 1998.

Can an aluminum metal roof rust near the ocean or in salty air?

Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron—rust requires iron oxidation. In coastal or salt-air environments, aluminum develops a thin, self-healing oxide layer that protects the metal beneath. Interlock applies Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish to both sides of every panel, adding a 30-year warranted coating against chalking and fading (measured to ASTM D4214/D2244 standards). This dual protection is why Interlock roofs perform reliably on salt-spray-exposed homes. Pocasset's ~1176 mm annual rainfall and coastal winds up to 148 km/h gust intensity mean superior corrosion resistance matters—aluminum delivers it.

Will a metal roof blow off in Pocasset's nor'easters and coastal storms?

The four-way interlocking aluminum panels lock together and are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to specification. Pocasset's typical wind gusts reach about 148 km/h, well within this rating. The interlocking design—not fasteners alone—creates structural continuity that distributes wind load across the roof plane. Each panel seats into its neighbors, preventing uplift even in extreme gusts. This engineering is verified in ICC-ES evaluation report ESR-1790 (reissued 2025 for IBC/IRC code compliance). The result: your roof stays put through nor'easters that would loosen or lift conventional shingles.

Can hail damage an aluminum metal roof, and will my homeowner's insurance cover it?

Interlock metal roofing carries a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the Guardian Warranty specifically covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Class 4 impact performance exceeds what most insurers require to deny hail claims. Many homeowners in hail-prone regions qualify for insurance premium discounts when they install Class 4-rated roofs. While Pocasset's weather data does not flag hail as a primary climate driver, the Class 4 rating provides insurance security and resale value if you ever move to a hail belt. Contact your insurer with Interlock's UL 2218 certification to explore available discounts.

Does a metal roof really reduce cooling costs in summer?

Yes, when installed in energy-efficient colors with high solar reflectance. Interlock's Aged Copper Penny and other cool-roof options achieve initial solar reflectance up to 0.55 and thermal emissivity of 0.84, rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council. These reflective coatings bounce summer heat away rather than absorbing it like asphalt, reducing cooling demand. Pocasset receives about 3165 sunshine hours per year, so reflective performance accumulates across many sunny days. energy-efficiency certification confirms measurable energy savings. Paired with the 30-year Alunar coating warranty, your reflectance performance is protected long-term, whereas asphalt fades in 5–7 years and loses reflective benefit.

Do I need to reinforce my roof structure to install metal roofing?

No structural reinforcement is needed because aluminum metal roofing is extraordinarily light. The Interlock Mediterranean Tile profile, for example, weighs about 0.59 lb/sq ft—roughly 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile. This allows installation directly over most existing roofs without additional framing, reducing labor cost and complexity. Your home's existing structure already supports traditional roofing loads far greater than aluminum. The lightweight design also means faster installation and lower contractor costs. Whether you choose the heavier Shake profile (~0.58 lb/sq ft) or lighter Shingle (~0.41 lb/sq ft), all Interlock panels require no structural upgrades.

How much maintenance does a metal roof require?

Aluminum metal roofing requires minimal maintenance compared to asphalt, wood shake, or tile. You won't replace rotting shingles, split shakes, or cracked tiles—aluminum does none of these. Occasional debris removal and gutter cleaning keep water flowing freely, a task you'd perform anyway. The 30-year Alunar coating resists chalking and fading measured to ASTM standards, meaning no recoating is needed to maintain appearance. Pocasset's ~1176 mm annual rainfall cleans the roof surface naturally. The Guardian Warranty covers cracking, curling, splitting, and loss of impact resistance for the original owner's lifetime—no maintenance surprises. Asphalt requires inspection every 3–5 years and replacement every 15–20 years; aluminum eliminates this cycle.

Is a metal roof really the last roof I'll ever need to buy?

For most homeowners, yes. Asphalt shingles last 15–20 years and require complete replacement, creating landfill waste and labor costs every two decades. Interlock's lifetime limited Guardian Warranty (non-prorated for the original owner, transferable 50 years to the next owner) is designed for permanence. Over a 40-year period, you'd replace asphalt twice at significant cost; aluminum remains overhead once installed. When you factor in avoided tear-off labor, disposal fees, and the 10% current regional promotion or deferred-payment option through Spring 2027, the upfront cost gap narrows. Pocasset's 50 annual freeze-thaw cycles and 148 km/h wind gusts accelerate asphalt degradation; aluminum's durability pays off faster in your climate.

How long does installation take, and can you install a metal roof over my existing shingles?

Installation typically takes 3–7 days depending on roof size and complexity. Yes, Interlock aluminum panels install directly over existing asphalt shingles in most cases, eliminating expensive tear-off labor and landfill disposal. The lightweight design (0.41–0.59 lb/sq ft depending on profile) means existing roof framing handles the load without reinforcement. Interlock Metal Roofing (New England) Inc. has served the region since 1999 and understands local installation codes (ICC-ES ESR-1790 verified for IBC/IRC). The installer will inspect your roof, secure a permit, ensure proper drainage and ventilation, and flash all penetrations. Quick installation minimizes disruption, and the current regional promotion offers deferred payments and no interest until Spring 2027.

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

Yes. 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.
