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 Arnold Mills

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

Does a metal roof handle Rhode Island snow loads and ice dams?

Yes. Arnold Mills receives about 76 cm of snow annually, and metal roofing sheds snow and ice far more effectively than asphalt because its smooth, hard surface prevents ice damming. The four-way interlocking aluminum panels are warranted to 120 mph wind speeds, which protects them during the heavy gusts (up to 118 km/h) that often accompany nor'easters and winter storms. Snow guards can be added if you want to control snow shedding. Unlike asphalt, which softens and deteriorates under freeze-thaw cycling, aluminum maintains its structural integrity through all 83 annual freeze-thaw days typical here—the metal expands and contracts uniformly without cracking or splitting.

How does aluminum roofing survive Rhode Island's constant freeze-thaw cycle?

Arnold Mills experiences roughly 83 freeze-thaw days per year, the harshest test for roofing materials. Aluminum alloy (3105-H24 and 3003-H24 to ASTM B209) is inherently resistant to freeze-thaw damage because it doesn't absorb water, doesn't crack under expansion stress, and doesn't degrade like asphalt or wood. The Alunar 70% PVDF coating, warranted 30 years against chalking and fading (ASTM D4214/D2244), seals both sides of each panel, preventing moisture penetration even in this region's 1,198 mm annual rainfall. The Guardian warranty explicitly covers cracking and splitting—conditions that plague traditional materials here—for the original owner's lifetime.

Will a metal roof leak in Arnold Mills' heavy rain and snow?

No. The four-way interlocking aluminum panels create a weather-tight seal that handles Arnold Mills' 1,198 mm of annual rainfall with zero leak risk when installed to spec. The panels overlap on all four sides, shedding water faster than it can pool. Unlike asphalt shingles, which degrade and cup under repeated wet-freeze cycles (Arnold Mills averages 83 freeze-thaw days yearly), aluminum's non-porous surface and self-healing oxide layer remain impermeable indefinitely. The metal can install directly over your existing roof, so there's no vulnerable underlayment exposure during installation. When combined with a solid deck and proper underlayment, the system is acoustically quiet in rain—asphalt-silent, not noisy.

Does aluminum roofing rust in Rhode Island winters?

Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron. The 3105-H24 and 3003-H24 alloys (ASTM B209) form a thin, transparent oxide layer when exposed to air; if scratched, this layer automatically reforms, healing itself invisibly. Coastal salt air and road salt—both present in Kent County winters—are the conditions that corrode steel roofing. Interlock has installed this system in coastal salt-air homes across North America and even at an Antarctic research station, where corrosion threats are extreme. The Alunar 70% PVDF coating, applied to both sides of every panel and warranted 30 years, provides an extra corrosion barrier. You'll never repaint, treat, or worry about rust stains on your siding.

Can hail damage a metal roof in Arnold Mills?

Extremely unlikely. Interlock metal roofing holds a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the Guardian warranty covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Class 4 rating means the aluminum withstands the impact equivalent of a 2-inch steel ball dropped from 20 feet. Many homeowners find that this robustness qualifies them for insurance discounts on comprehensive coverage. Arnold Mills averages 3,050 sunshine hours yearly and experiences typical gusts around 19 km/h, so severe hail is not a chronic local concern, but when it does occur, your roof is protected—unlike asphalt, which splits and punctures easily.

Is metal roofing safe in Arnold Mills' nor'easter winds?

Yes. The four-way interlocking aluminum panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to spec. Arnold Mills sees typical wind gusts around 118 km/h, and nor'easters occasionally exceed that, but Interlock's lock system distributes wind load across all four edges of each panel, preventing uplift. The ICC-ES evaluation report (ESR-1790, reissued 2025) confirms the installation meets current International Building Code and International Residential Code standards. Unlike asphalt shingles, which lift and tear in high winds, interlocked aluminum panels stay secured even during the intense gusts that accompany winter storms. This durability also protects your home's interior from weather infiltration.

Can my Arnold Mills home's roof structure support metal roofing?

Almost certainly yes, without reinforcement. The Interlock Slate profile weighs just 0.41 lb/sq ft; the Shake is 0.58 lb/sq ft; the Mediterranean Tile is about 0.59 lb/sq ft—roughly 96% lighter than genuine concrete or clay tile. Because aluminum is so light, the system installs directly over most existing roofs, eliminating the structural strain and the cost of reinforcement that genuine tile demands. Interlock has installed thousands of homes with standard framing. The four-way interlocking panels distribute weight evenly and resist the gusts (up to 118 km/h typical in Arnold Mills) without deflection. A structural engineer can confirm your specific situation, but lightweight aluminum roofing rarely requires upgrades.

Is metal roofing worth the cost over the life of my roof?

Yes. A metal roof is the last roof you buy. Asphalt shingles in Arnold Mills' freeze-thaw cycle (83 days annually) typically last 15–20 years before curling, cracking, and needing replacement; metal roofing is warranted for the original owner's lifetime, with a 50-year transferable term for the next owner. Over 40+ years, you'll replace asphalt 2–3 times; Interlock requires no tear-offs or landfill costs. The Guardian warranty is non-prorated for material, covering rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, and curling—the exact failures asphalt experiences. Current financing offers include no payments and no interest until Spring 2027, or 10% off installation, turning the upfront cost into a long-term investment rather than a liability.

What warranty comes with Interlock metal roofing?

The Guardian Warranty offers lifetime limited, non-prorated material coverage for the original owner, protecting against rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance. It's transferable once to the next owner, who receives 50 years of coverage from the date of completion—a substantial advantage at resale in Arnold Mills' competitive market. Additionally, the Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon coating is warranted 30 years against chalking and fading (ASTM D4214/D2244 standards), meaning color and finish remain stable through 30+ freeze-thaw cycles. Interlock has manufactured this system since 1998 in Delta, BC, and installed it across climates far harsher than Rhode Island's, proving the warranty reflects real-world longevity, not marketing.

Is metal roofing better for the environment than asphalt shingles?

Significantly. Interlock aluminum roofing is approximately 95% recyclable at end-of-life, and aluminum's scrap value means it often finds a second life rather than entering a landfill. Asphalt shingles, by contrast, generate millions of tons of landfill waste annually; each roof replacement in Arnold Mills sends tons to disposal. Because metal roofing lasts the original owner's lifetime and transfers another 50 years to the next owner, it eliminates the tear-off cycle entirely. The material is also CALGreen-verified for reduced maintenance (no algae treatments, no moss removal needed). Aluminum is infinitely recyclable without degradation of properties, so choosing metal roofing now means your roof contributes to a circular economy rather than perpetuating the asphalt-to-landfill pattern.

Is a metal roof a good choice for Arnold Mills’s climate?

Yes. Arnold Mills averages about 76 cm of snow, 1198 mm of rain, roughly 83 freeze–thaw days a year, with peak wind gusts near 118 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.
