Roofing in Portsmouth, Rhode Island

Portsmouth occupies the north end of Aquidneck Island, with Narragansett Bay on both sides — an exposure profile closer to open coast than mainland suburb, and among the strongest peak gusts in our climate records.

What a Portsmouth roof lives through in a typical year (10-year averages):

snow per year: 30 in
rain per year: 50 in
peak wind gusts: 78 mph
freeze–thaw days per year: 80

The Interlock® system is warranted for wind to 120 mph, installed to manufacturer specification, and its panels lock on all four sides with the fasteners concealed, so there are no exposed screw heads or gaskets for freeze–thaw to work loose.

What Portsmouth homeowners say

Jared and Bethany G. · Portsmouth, RI · 2024

★★★★★

“This is roof number 2 , number 3 is scheduled”

David R. · Portsmouth, RI · 2021

★★★★★

“The work crew made a good effort to clean up at completion, but I have found, and occasionally find more nails in the perimeter. This is significant since the drive way goes around the house and is close to the house and roof edge. I would recommend a follow up sweep of the area with a magnetic sweeper.”

Jeffrey and Jane R. · Portsmouth, RI · 2016

“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.”

Roofing in Portsmouth: what to plan for

Why New England roofs keep getting replaced

Freeze-thaw, nor'easter wind and summer heat work on asphalt shingles every year: granules loosen, edges curl and tabs lift. An Interlock roof has no granules to lose and no tabs to lift, and its panels lock to each other on all four sides.

The look of slate or cedar, without the weight

Interlock's Slate, Cedar Shingle and Shake profiles keep the look on a Colonial, a Cape, a Victorian or a farmhouse at roughly 0.4 to 0.7 lb per square foot, a fraction of natural slate. In a historic district, check your local commission's rules first; we bring samples and product documents to that conversation.

Built for heavy snow and coastal storms

Smooth aluminum lets heavy, wet snow slide rather than sit, and we plan snow guards over entries, walkways, decks and the driveway at the quote. The panels lock on four sides with concealed fasteners; wind resistance is warranted to 120 mph installed to manufacturer specification.

One installer, since 1999

We plan, price and install every roof ourselves. The manufacturer's Guardian Lifetime Limited Material Warranty comes with it, our 10 Year Limited Labor Warranty covers the installation, and our service team is here in New England.

Will a metal roof handle Portsmouth snow and ice?

Portsmouth averages about 30 inches of snow and 80 freeze–thaw days a year (10-year averages). Aluminum absorbs no water, so freeze–thaw has nothing to split, and the panels lock on all four sides with the fasteners concealed. Ice dams start with heat escaping into the attic and with ventilation, not with the roof covering, and no roof prevents them on its own; we look at your attic ventilation and insulation at the estimate.
