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 Oakland Beach

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

Will a metal roof survive Oakland Beach's freeze-thaw cycles?

Yes—aluminum thrives in freeze-thaw environments because it has no wood fibers to split and no iron to rust. Your area experiences about 80 freeze-thaw days per year, the exact conditions that crack asphalt, curl wood shakes, and cause tile to chip. Aluminum's oxide layer doesn't degrade when wet and frozen; it self-heals if scratched. The Alunar 70% PVDF coating, warranted 30 years against chalking, also resists the salt spray that accelerates freeze-thaw damage in coastal Rhode Island. Combined with the four-way interlocking panels, this design sheds water before it can pool and refreeze underneath.

How does a metal roof handle Oakland Beach's snow load and ice dams?

Metal roofs shed snow faster than asphalt because the smooth interlocked surface doesn't trap moisture—critical when you receive about 75 cm of snow annually. The panels' low weight (Slate at 0.41 lb/sq ft, Shake at 0.58) means no structural reinforcement is required, and snow doesn't compress into ice the way it does on darker asphalt. If you install snow guards to retain snow for insulation value, they mount securely to the four-way interlocking system. The coating's high solar reflectance (up to 0.55 on Aged Copper Penny) reduces the heat absorption that triggers ice dam formation—a real advantage in a climate that sees nearly 3,075 sunshine hours per year.

With 1,264 mm of annual rainfall, is a metal roof watertight in Oakland Beach?

The four-way interlocking aluminum panels are engineered to channel water downward and outward; water cannot pool horizontally between panels. Your region's typical 1,264 mm yearly rainfall tests every roof, but the overlap geometry means water always moves toward the gutters. When installed to the ICC-ES ESR-1790 specification (reissued 2025 for IBC/IRC compliance), Interlock Metal Roofing installs a solid deck and underlayment beneath the panels—the same approach that makes asphalt roofs quiet in rain. The result is the same watertight performance homeowners expect, but with aluminum's immunity to rot and no shingle lift-up after 15 years of wet Rhode Island winters.

Can a metal roof withstand the wind gusts that hit Oakland Beach?

Yes. The system is warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph, and your area's typical gusts reach about 125 km/h (78 mph), well within that envelope. The four-way interlocking design means each panel locks to its neighbors on all four sides—not just nailed along the edges like asphalt shingles. This distributes wind load across the entire roof skin instead of concentrating stress at fastener points. When storms do approach, the UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating (the highest available) also means the panels won't lose impact resistance from wind-driven debris. Installers can anchor panels per ESR-1790 specification to handle Rhode Island's coastal wind exposure without special reinforcement.

Why won't an aluminum roof rust in coastal Rhode Island?

Aluminum roofing cannot rust because it contains no iron—iron is what oxidizes and causes rust staining and structural failure. Steel roofing rusts; aluminum does not. Your coastal location (Kent County, exposed to Atlantic salt spray) is exactly why Interlock applies the Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon finish to BOTH sides of every panel, warranted 30 years against chalking and fading. The roofing-grade 3105-H24 and 3003-H24 aluminum alloy (ASTM B209) forms a protective oxide layer that heals itself when scratched—meaning a dented panel won't develop a rust stain the way a steel roof would. Salt air ages asphalt and wood; it simply passes over aluminum without initiating corrosion.

Does a metal roof reduce insurance premiums or offer hail protection in Rhode Island?

The UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—demonstrates that Interlock panels withstand hail up to 1.5 inches, and the warranty covers perforation from stones of that size. Many insurers offer discounts for Class 4 roofs because they eliminate the most common damage claim in hail-prone regions. While Oakland Beach's climate data doesn't emphasize hail, your 80 annual freeze-thaw cycles mean wind-driven debris is a real hazard—and Class 4 rated panels resist that damage too. Contact your agent with the UL 2218 rating and ICC-ES ESR-1790 code compliance report; many companies recognize this as superior impact resistance and adjust premiums accordingly. Your installer can provide documentation.

Can my Oakland Beach home's structure handle a metal roof, or do I need reinforcement?

No reinforcement is needed. The Interlock Mediterranean Tile profile, for example, weighs only about 0.59 lb/sq ft—roughly 96% lighter than concrete or clay tile—so it installs directly over most existing roof structures without additional bracing. Even the heaviest Interlock profile is a fraction of traditional tile weight. This matters in New England's heavy snow climate (about 75 cm annually) because lighter roofing means your structure handles snow load more safely. You can install Interlock over your existing asphalt roof, saving the cost and environmental impact of tear-off and disposal. Your local installer, Interlock Metal Roofing (New England) Inc., has served the region since 1999 and routinely assesses existing framing during the free consultation.

How much maintenance does a metal roof need compared to asphalt or wood?

Metal roofs require virtually no maintenance. Asphalt shingles need algae treatment, granule replacement inspection, and moss removal—especially in damp New England. Wood shakes split and curl, requiring regular staining or sealing. Interlock aluminum panels shed debris naturally; rainfall (1,264 mm annually) and wind (gusts to 125 km/h) keep them clean. The Alunar coating is CALGreen-verified for reduced maintenance. You'll never pressure-wash, stain, or seal a metal roof. Gutters should be cleared, but that's true for any roof. Over a 50-year lifespan, the labor and chemical cost savings of metal roofing compound significantly—and the warranty transfers to the next owner for 50 years total, making it the last roof investment a homeowner typically makes.

Is a metal roof worth the upfront cost in Oakland Beach?

A metal roof is the last roof you buy, which changes the math over 50+ years. Asphalt shingles cost less initially but fail in 15–20 years in Rhode Island's freeze-thaw climate (80 days per year); metal lasts 50+ years under warranty. Factor in tear-off and landfill fees, replacement labor, energy savings from reflective coatings (up to 0.55 solar reflectance), and zero maintenance, and the cost-per-year drops below asphalt. Plus, the current promotion offers no payments and no interest until Spring 2027, or 10% off installation. Homebuyers also recognize metal roofing's durability and aesthetic value; curb appeal matters when you sell. Calculate the lifetime cost per year, not just the initial invoice—that's where metal roofing wins.

They're factory-certified to install to ICC-ES ESR-1790 specification, ensuring your roof meets IBC/IRC code, handles your local climate, and qualifies for the Guardian Warranty (lifetime limited material, non-prorated for the original owner, one-time transferable to the next owner for 50 years total).

Right now, they're offering no payments and no interest until Spring 2027 or 10% off installation. Contact them for a free consultation and site evaluation.

Is a metal roof a good choice for Oakland Beach’s climate?

Yes. Oakland Beach 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.
