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.

Review: January 10, 2024Completion: December 20, 2023

They don't deal honestly with their customers, and you have to watch them the whole time. You contract them for one thing, and they subcontract for something else. You need to check with the sub's contract and compare it to what you contracted them for because they try to skim. They could have improved with a more thorough assessment prior to the contract, adherence to the contract as it was written, and not trying to cheat us by contracting the sub to do something different from what I paid for. If I had not had asked for the sub's contract, I would not have known. That is what they were counting on.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Potowomut

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

Does metal roofing handle heavy snow and ice the way asphalt does in Rhode Island winters?

Metal roofing sheds snow and ice more effectively than asphalt because its smooth, interlocking surface reduces friction and prevents buildup. Potowomut receives about 75 cm of snow annually, plus roughly 80 freeze-thaw cycles each year—conditions that crack and degrade asphalt fast. Interlock's aluminum panels are warranted to 120 mph wind gusts, so they anchor snow loads safely during the winter-to-spring thaw when ice dams commonly form on traditional roofs. The lightweight design also eliminates structural stress from accumulated snow.

How does aluminum roofing survive Potowomut's freeze-thaw cycles?

Aluminum's crystal structure doesn't weaken or crack under repeated freezing and thawing because it has no iron and cannot rust. Around 80 freeze-thaw days per year in this region stress asphalt shingles—causing splits and separation—but Interlock's 3105-H24 aluminum alloy is unaffected by temperature swings. Its Alunar coating (30-year warranty against chalking and fading per ASTM D4214) also remains flexible across the full range from winter lows to summer highs, preventing the brittleness that degrades traditional roofing.

Why does aluminum never rust like steel roofing, and why does that matter here?

Aluminum contains no iron; rust is impossible. Instead, aluminum develops an invisible oxide layer that self-heals when scratched—a property called passivation. With about 1264 mm of annual rainfall, Potowomut homes face constant moisture exposure that attacks steel and corrodes asphalt granules. Interlock uses roofing-grade 3105-H24 aluminum with Alunar fluorocarbon finish applied to both panel sides, giving you the same protection in wet coastal-air climates as research stations in Antarctica. Steel roofing requires ongoing maintenance; aluminum does not.

Can metal roofing really withstand Rhode Island coastal gusts and nor'easters?

Yes. Interlock's four-way interlocking panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph when installed to specification. Potowomut experiences typical gusts around 125 km/h (78 mph), but winter storms and seasonal transitions push peak gusts well into your roof's design margin. The interlocking system distributes uplift forces across the entire roof, unlike shingles that fail at edges and overlaps. Even under extreme conditions, this design keeps panels locked in place while asphalt shingles peel and tear.

How long does metal roofing last, and what does the warranty really cover?

Interlock offers a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty to the original owner—covering rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, curling, and loss of impact resistance. The warranty is one-time transferable, so the next owner receives 50 years of coverage from completion. This outlasts asphalt (15-25 years), wood shake (20 years), and concrete tile (30-50 years) because aluminum neither decays nor oxidizes. In Potowomut's 80 annual freeze-thaw cycles and 1264 mm rainfall, traditional materials fail long before your roof does.

Is metal roofing worth the upfront cost compared to asphalt shingles?

Over a 50-year horizon, metal roofing is genuinely cheaper. Asphalt requires replacement every 15-25 years; in Potowomut's moisture-heavy climate with 75 cm annual snow and 80 freeze-thaw days, you'll replace it sooner. Each replacement costs money and labor; metal installs once. You'll also avoid the asphalt tear-off cycle—95% of Interlock's aluminum is recyclable, whereas old asphalt fills landfills. The current regional promotion (no payments and no interest until Spring 2027 or 10% off installation) makes this the right time financially. One roof for the life of your home beats three.

Does a metal roof really cut cooling costs in summer?

energy-efficient Interlock colors with thermal emissivity of 0.84 and initial solar reflectance up to 0.55 (Aged Copper Penny) reflect rather than absorb heat that dark asphalt absorbs. Potowomut receives about 3075 sunshine hours annually—plenty of opportunity for asphalt to heat your attic and drive air-conditioning costs up. Cool Roof Rating Council certification confirms measurable reflectance. On summer days when asphalt surfaces reach 70°C or higher, reflective metal stays cooler, reducing the temperature gradient that forces your HVAC system to work harder.

How long does installation take, and can it go over my existing roof?

Interlock installs quickly—most residential projects finish in one to three days. Because the panels weigh only 0.41 lb/sq ft (Shingle profile) to 0.59 lb/sq ft (Tile), you can install over most existing asphalt, wood, or even light tile without structural reinforcement. This eliminates the messy tear-off, reduces labor, and speeds occupancy. Interlock Metal Roofing (New England) Inc. has served this region since 1999 and understands Potowomut's building codes and local weather. They coordinate with permitting and handle the installation end-to-end so you stay dry and worry-free.

Is metal roofing fire-safe, and does it meet local building codes?

Yes. Interlock aluminum is non-combustible and achieves Class A fire classification, the highest rating. The ICC-ES evaluation report ESR-1790 (reissued 2025) confirms compliance with IBC/IRC standards, so your roof meets all Rhode Island building codes. Aluminum cannot ignite or spread flame—a serious advantage in regions prone to wildfires or where fire-resistant construction is required for insurance discounts. Because the roof also carries CALGreen verification for reduced maintenance, you're meeting modern sustainability and safety standards simultaneously.

Can I get a metal roof that actually looks like slate, shake, or tile?

Interlock offers five visually distinct profiles—Slate, Cedar Shingle, Shake, Standing Seam, and Mediterranean Tile—so you choose the aesthetic that suits your home without compromising durability. Each profile uses the same durable 3105-H24 aluminum with dual-sided Alunar coating (30-year warranty), four-way interlocking panels, and UL 2218 Class 4 hail resistance. The difference is texture and dimension: Cedar Shingle and Shake mimic wood grain, Slate replicates stone, Mediterranean Tile echoes clay or concrete. Potowomut's diverse architecture means you can match your home's character while upgrading to a roof that outlasts traditional materials by decades.

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

Yes. Potowomut 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.
