Review: March 10, 2022Completion: February 21, 2022

this companies customer service is awful. they never return calls and the lack of communication is unbelievable. when I inquired about the company, I no sooner hit the send button on my computer when someone called to set up an appointment. after I gave them a down payment , and then after one month passed , I inquired to find out if they had any idea when the project would start .now the urgency to return my inquiry was no longer a priority no one would return my call. after i made about 4 calls with no response I had to call the salesman who then called someone and finally i was told that the material hasn't been ordered yet due to the pandemic...fine I can accept that just call and tell me....... more to follow COMMUNICATION AND PROFESSIONAL COURTESY OF RETURNING CALLS HIRE YOUR OWN WORKERS AND NOT INDEPENDANT CONTRACTORS don't schedule installs dec jan and feb in New England i originally learned of this company through my neighbor. she had a roof put on 15 years ago that looks as good today as it did 15 years ago i wanted a metal roof because i'll probably leave my house to my daughters and i figured that was one less headache they would have to worry about because of the life time warranty . well what i have gone through for the last 5 or 6 months has certainly put a dent into that thought. there were so many little things that happened which cast doubt in my mind as to whether or not i made a big mistake going with this company. the biggest and most irritating was not returning my calls. i started thinking.... i can't get this company to return a call just to find out if they have a start up date yet.....what's going to happen if i have any trouble with this roof in the future after it's installed. so my confidence started to decline a little. then as time went on and we got deeper into the winter, i started to wonder how are they going to install a roof during a new england winter i asked should we wait until warmer weather? the front office said there was no problem...metal roofs are not like asphalt and can be installed during the winter. well when the material finally came in and the workers started the job ,the contractor told me they can't work when the temperature is below a certain temperature. completely opposite from what the front office told me.....more doubt starting to build...prior to the start, someone from the main office called me told me the dumpster would arrive the next day at 2 :00 in the afternoon the dumpster arrived the next day at7:30 in the morning ...only missed it by 7 hours.. more doubt growing. the same person also told me they would not deliver the materials until AFTER the blizzard which was expected on a monday. my wife and i went to the store that friday. when we returned home ,guess what was in our yard, you got it ..all the material was delivered once again the complete opposite from what i was told. so this went on and on. another thing , i was told by the salesman that the vents at the peak of my house should be blocked so they don't interfer with the air flow. well the contractor didn't seem too enthusiastic about doing it then said whatever you want.to do. .what ever i want your the professional ,if they needed to be blocked then block them. if they don't then don't block them .they didn't block them. once again the complete opposite from what the salesman said . another little thing . i asked the salesman if they could remove my gutters during the install..they weren't very good and i wanted to try doing without them .he said no problem but when the job started the contractor said it wasn't in the contract , but they will remove them for me anyway .there were also roofing cables which they did remove and rolled up f'or me. but i guess i was supposed to say gutters and downspouts because the 10foot downspouts and drain pipe are still attached to my house. that's no problem but they also broke a frame to one of the windows of my bay window which cost me 175 dollars to replace ...haven't herd anything from the company about paying for it..nor have i heard anything yet about the 500 dollars my neighbor should be getting for a referral fee. well after all these episodes, the straw that broke the camel's back occurred after i paid for the entire job.i paid the crew lead the entire amount as called for by the contract. he signed and dated the check. nothing was said to me about any additional moneys owed.i was PAID IN FULL .the very next day, the salesman who i have not heard from for over five months expressing any type of concern for all the delays i've indured calls me and says i owe over 2000 for additional shingles that had to be removed and rotted wood that had to be replaced. i explained above about all this BS. ALL this ignoring me and not saying one word to me about anything at all for the last 5 months finally peaked with this phone call and caused me to explode. all my questions, all my doubts, all my sleepless nights worrying about whether or not i made a good decision were now answered. did i make a good decision...unfortunately the answer is NO. i am really disappointed to have to write this review. all that i have looked forward to enjoying this roof has really had a damper put on it. to give credit where credit is due..the roof looks great all kinds of people have come by and told me how good it looks. even though the roof looks good, every time it rains ,snows, wind driven snow and rain my heart will be in my mouth hoping and preying that the roof doesn't leak because if it does , i have no faith at all that this company will stand behind its lifetime warranty...very very disappointed steve montanaro

Review: August 15, 2018Completion: June 8, 2018

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.

Received call that dumpster would be delivered but not construction materials and product was put in second driveway and I preferred in the first driveway. Installers were very professional and hard workers. Only comment about installers was command of the English language was very limited and no one else from the office communicated throughout the 5 day installation.

Review: September 14, 2015Completion: August 24, 2015

I didn't like the way they installed the roof, it's not laid out right. I feel like they did a shoty job on a couple of things. I would like them to come back out and fix the things that I'm not happy with. I don't like the way they placed one roof cap on at all. One sticks up and they used clear caulking on that and I don't like the way that looks.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Apponaug

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

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

Yes—aluminum's structure actually improves under freeze-thaw stress, unlike asphalt or wood. Apponaug experiences about 80 freeze-thaw days per year, where moisture trapped in traditional roofing expands and contracts, causing splits and curling. Interlock's roofing-grade 3105-H24 aluminum alloy (ASTM B209) has no pores that absorb water, so it won't degrade from repeated freezing. The four-way interlocking panels shed water immediately and move as a unified system, preventing the micro-cracking that ages conventional materials within a decade.

How does a metal roof handle Apponaug's snow and ice buildup?

Metal roofing sheds snow faster than asphalt because its smooth surface and thermal properties reduce adhesion. With about 75 cm of snow annually and gusts reaching 125 km/h, shedding is a genuine advantage—snow doesn't compress and trap moisture against the deck. You can add discrete snow guards to any Interlock profile to control avalanche timing on steeper pitches or near walkways. The four-way interlocking system prevents water infiltration even when snow or ice dams form temporarily, a critical detail in a climate where melt cycles are frequent.

Why choose aluminum over steel roofing in a wet Rhode Island climate?

Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron—the element that oxidizes and weakens steel roofing. Instead, aluminum forms a microscopic oxide layer that repairs itself whenever scratched or exposed. This matters enormously in Rhode Island's humid coastal-influenced climate, where road salt and airborne moisture accelerate rust on ferrous metals. Interlock has installed roofs in salt-air environments and an Antarctic research station, and the 30-year Alunar® 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish (applied to both panel sides) adds another layer of corrosion defense. You'll never refinish, patch rust spots, or replace corroded fasteners.

Can an Apponaug roof survive the 125 km/h wind gusts we get here?

Yes. Interlock metal roofing is warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to specification—well above Apponaug's typical gust maximums of about 125 km/h. The four-way interlocking aluminum panels lock together along all edges, creating a unified diaphragm that distributes wind load across the entire roof rather than stressing individual fasteners. This engineering is validated in ICC-ES evaluation report ESR-1790 (2025 reissue). Storm-force winds that would lift or tear conventional shingles simply deflect off a properly installed metal roof.

With 1264 mm of rain yearly, what stops water leaks in a metal roof?

The interlocking panel design is the first defense: four-way mechanical locks at every seam create a labyrinth that water cannot navigate. Apponaug receives about 1264 mm of rain annually—roughly twice what asphalt roofing was designed to shed—and metal panels' smooth surface and steep drainage angles push water off in seconds. Paired with a solid deck and underlayment (installed per ICC-ES ESR-1790 specs), leaks are virtually eliminated. The warranty even covers perforation from hail up to 1.5 inches and covers all water intrusion from material failure, giving you absolute confidence in high-rainfall seasons.

Does a UL 2218 Class 4 hail rating lower insurance costs in Rhode Island?

Possibly—many insurers offer discounts for Impact Class 4-rated roofs because they reduce claim frequency. Interlock carries the highest available hail rating (UL 2218 Class 4), meaning it withstands steel balls up to 2 inches dropped from 20 feet, and the warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Contact your agent with the UL 2218 Class 4 specification; some Rhode Island policies reward impact resistance with 5–15% premium reductions. Combined with the non-prorated, lifetime limited material warranty, your financial risk from weather damage drops dramatically.

Can my house support a metal roof without costly structural work?

Almost certainly—Interlock roofing is extraordinarily light. The Slate and Cedar Shingle profiles install at about 0.41 lb/sq ft, and even the Mediterranean Tile (which looks like clay or concrete) weighs only about 0.59 lb/sq ft—approximately 96% lighter than traditional tile. This means zero structural reinforcement on most homes. You can install over an existing asphalt roof (saving tear-off labor and landfill tonnage), and older homes with modest framing easily support the load. A structural engineer is rarely needed, keeping installation costs competitive.

Will a metal roof reduce cooling costs in Apponaug's sunny summers?

Yes, especially in energy-efficient colors. Interlock's coatings achieve thermal emissivity of 0.84 and solar reflectance up to 0.55 (Aged Copper Penny), meaning they bounce away the heat that asphalt absorbs and re-radiates into the house. Apponaug receives about 3075 sunshine hours annually—substantial enough that reflective coatings noticeably lower attic and upper-floor temperatures. The Cool Roof Rating Council rating confirms measurable energy savings. Combined with metal's conductivity, reflected heat means your air conditioning doesn't run as hard, lowering summer utility bills while keeping interior spaces more comfortable.

How much maintenance does a metal roof actually need?

Virtually none after installation. Unlike asphalt (which requires periodic seal-coating and loses granules in rain and freeze-thaw cycles), wood shakes (which split, curl, and require fungicide treatment), or tile (which needs regrouting and can crack), metal is inert. The Alunar® 70% PVDF finish is warranted 30 years against chalking and fading (ASTM D4214 / D2244 measured), so the coating outlasts most homeowner tenures. You'll never scrape moss, re-seal, or replace rotted sections. Occasional gutter cleaning and debris removal are standard; the roof itself requires nothing. This transforms ownership from constant small repairs to genuine peace of mind.

Is a metal roof really the last roof I'll buy, or just marketing?

It's the last roof you'll buy—and the math is real. A typical asphalt roof lasts 15–20 years in Apponaug's high-moisture, freeze-thaw climate (80 annual cycles accelerate deterioration), costing $8,000–$15,000 to replace, plus labor and landfill fees. Interlock's lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty (transferable to the next owner for 50 years post-install) covers rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and impact resistance. With proper installation and basic maintenance, the roof won't fail in your lifetime or the next owner's first two decades. One installation versus two or three asphalt replacements makes metal the lower lifetime cost.

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

Yes. Apponaug averages about 75 cm of snow, 1264 mm of rain, roughly 80 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 125 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.
