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 Gaspee Plateau

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

How does a metal roof handle Gaspee Plateau's 76 cm of annual snow?

Metal roofs shed snow more effectively than asphalt because aluminum's smooth, hard surface resists ice bonding and the four-way interlocking panels create no gaps for water to pool. Gaspee Plateau averages about 83 freeze-thaw cycles per year, making this critical: as snow melts and refreezes, aluminum's oxide layer remains intact and won't delaminate like asphalt shingles do. The lightweight profile (Slate at 0.41 lb/sq ft) means no structural reinforcement is needed, even under repeated seasonal snow loads. Snow guards are available if you want to manage shed timing.

Will freeze-thaw cycles in Rhode Island damage aluminum metal roofing?

No. Aluminum actually thrives in freeze-thaw climates because it has no iron content and cannot rust—the oxide layer that forms when aluminum meets moisture is self-healing and grows stronger with exposure. Gaspee Plateau experiences roughly 83 freeze-thaw days annually with about 1198 mm of rain, conditions that would crack and curl asphalt shingles and rot cedar shake. The Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish is warranted for 30 years against chalking and fading even under this cycling stress. Aluminum panels expand and contract uniformly without warping or splitting.

Can a metal roof withstand Rhode Island's winter wind gusts?

Yes. Gaspee Plateau's typical gusts reach 118 km/h (73 mph), and Interlock's four-way interlocking panels are warranted to resist sustained winds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to specification. The mechanical interlock between panels distributes wind load across the entire roof rather than concentrating stress on fasteners. ICC-ES evaluation report ESR-1790 confirms compliance with IBC/IRC wind design standards. This engineering means your roof won't lift, shift, or separate even during the region's most severe wind events.

How do the interlocking panels handle heavy rain without leaking?

The four-way mechanical interlock between panels creates a continuous weather seal without relying on caulk or sealant, so water is directed downslope and off the roof rather than pooling or penetrating gaps. Gaspee Plateau receives approximately 1198 mm of rain annually; this design handles sustained, heavy rainfall because each panel overlaps its neighbors on all four sides. Combined with a solid deck and underlayment, the system is as quiet and leak-proof as asphalt roofing. The Guardian warranty covers leakage and water intrusion for the life of the roof.

Does hail damage happen to metal roofs, and can I get an insurance discount?

Interlock metal roofing carries a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the Guardian warranty even covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. Most Rhode Island insurers recognize this non-combustible, impact-resistant construction and offer premium reductions comparable to Class 4 asphalt shingles. Contact your carrier with the UL 2218 rating and ICC-ES ESR-1790 documentation; many offer 5–15% discounts for metal roofs. The actual risk of hail damage in Gaspee Plateau is far lower than wind or freeze-thaw wear.

What is the warranty on an Interlock metal roof, and how long does it really last?

The Guardian warranty is a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for the original owner and one-time transferable to the next owner for 50 years from completion. It covers rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance—essentially every failure mode that ends asphalt or wood shake roofs. Manufactured since 1998 in Delta, BC, Interlock panels have proven durability in climates matching Gaspee Plateau's 11.2°C mean temperature and 83 annual freeze-thaw cycles. This is the last roof most homeowners will need to buy.

Can you install a metal roof over my existing asphalt shingles?

Yes. Because Interlock metal roofing is extraordinarily light—the Mediterranean Tile profile weighs only ~0.59 lb/sq ft, about 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile—it installs directly over most existing roofs without structural reinforcement. Interlock Metal Roofing (New England) Inc. has served the region since 1999 and can assess whether your current roof deck will support the installation. In most cases, installation over existing shingles eliminates the $1500–$3000 tear-off and disposal cost, speeds the project, and avoids landfill waste. A site inspection confirms your home's specific situation.

Will a metal roof keep my house cooler and lower my electricity bill?

energy-efficient colors in the Interlock lineup achieve thermal emissivity of 0.84 and initial solar reflectance up to 0.55, meaning they reflect heat that asphalt absorbs. Gaspee Plateau receives about 3050 hours of annual sunshine; over a cooling season, this reflectance reduces the radiant load on your attic and interior. Cool Roof Rating Council verification confirms these ratings. Savings vary by orientation, HVAC efficiency, and local utility rates, but homeowners in similar New England climates report 10–25% cooling reductions in summer. The effect compounds because metal roofs last 50+ years, not 15–20.

Is metal roofing fire-resistant, and does it affect my homeowner's insurance?

Interlock aluminum roofing is non-combustible and carries a Class A fire classification—the highest rating available for roofing materials. ICC-ES evaluation report ESR-1790 (reissued 2025) documents this non-combustibility for code compliance. Many Rhode Island insurers recognize Class A roofing and offer premium reductions because the material will not ignite or contribute to fire spread, even in wildfire-adjacent scenarios. CALGreen verification confirms reduced maintenance and safety. Combined with the UL 2218 impact rating, this makes metal roofing the most resilient choice for long-term insurance stability.

Is aluminum metal roofing actually better for the environment than asphalt shingles?

Yes. Aluminum is approximately 95% recyclable and retains its value indefinitely; at end of life, old panels return to aluminum mills and become new products indefinitely. Asphalt shingles, by contrast, are tear-off waste that ends up in landfills—roughly 11–13 million tons annually in North America. Gaspee Plateau's 1198 mm of annual rain and salt-air exposure mean asphalt roofs last 15–20 years; metal roofs last 50+ years without replacement. Over a century, one metal roof eliminates 3–4 asphalt tear-off cycles, preventing 6–8 tons of shingle waste per home. This compounds across neighborhoods and regions.

Is a metal roof a good choice for Gaspee Plateau’s climate?

Yes. Gaspee Plateau 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.
