"David Keefe Roofing was very responsive. I called after business hours and they picked the phone right up and let me know that they would be out the next day to provide me an estimate. They came out next day and was able to provide me a reasonable quote for the job. The next day they were at the house making the repairs. I highly recommend using this company for your roofing needs. They are knowledgeable, responsive, and hard working."

"They did a very good job with the roof and the addition that came off the house and covered the deck. The only reason I gave them a B rating for quality instead of an A has to do with the finishing touches on the addition. All around the house the soffit fascia is covered in white sheet metal. When they finished the addition, which follows the roof line of the back of the house. They left it with bare, untreated wood. They don't use treated lumber because it reacts with the metal roofing and some corrosion may result. That's fine, but they should have at least covered it so that it tied in with the rest of the roof line. As we did our final inspection, I asked about the wood being treated and he explained why they don't use it. I said " so I guess I'll have to cover it?" He said that I would. I was leaving town on business in a couple days and had a lot going on, so I guess I just didn't think to put my foot down and insist they do it. Here in Mobile, Alabama we are the wettest city in the nation. We get more annual rainfall than Seattle, and it's humid. Wood rot happens.I went and bought some Thompson's Water Seal, and some sheet metal and took care of it myself. I have some pictures, but I don't see how to post them on this review page. The workers were very polite and cleaned up very well each day.

"Inspector/repairman arrived to locate water/rain leak in my roof. Found leak to be a result of loose flashing on my chimney. Referred me an associate of theirs that does this type of work. New repairman arrived promptly and did an excellent job at a very reasonable price. Have had no further leaks since repair."

"The work was excellent. My home was damaged from hurricane Michael a category 5 hurricane. The shingles from a roof had been removed from high winds and water damage got into my home. First of all the shingles on my roof or replaced within a day and a half. That crew wasn't very enjoyable they sang and kept each other happy with her work. They answered any and all questions I had during the installation. The company also provided one of the best painters I have ever met. He could paint using a large brush approximately 6 inches wide do the cutting in without any tape. It was very enjoyable to watch if you can imagine that. The company also located a window supplier that was a national loan company. My insurance company paid 100% of the window replacement because of the reputation of the window company. I highly recommended the company to other coworkers and they were also very pleased. I had them also go assist my father who's 84 years. Who owns many properties that were also damaged by hurricane Michael. The company replaced shingles 2 two though properties in replaced metal roofing to his primary home. they also did some interior work on his primary home due to a tree going through his master bedroom. They replace sheetrock and painted also. Once again you can't go wrong with his company."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Argyle, FL

A typical heat cable uses 5 watts per foot, regardless of the outside temperature. So, if your cable is 100 feet long, it uses 500 watts per hour. Expect to pay an additional $40 to $200 or more per month on your electricity bill. Be sure to turn manual cables off in the summer when you don't need them.

To install heat tape on your roof, place it along the lower edge in a precise zig-zag pattern to maximize coverage and heat distribution. Professional installers secure the tape with specialized clips that attach firmly to your shingles. This method ensures even heat distribution to effectively melt ice and snow while maintaining your roof's integrity during severe winter conditions.

Choosing between heated gutters and roof heating cables usually comes down to budget, appearance, and performance. Heated gutters cost less to install and blend seamlessly with your home’s exterior, making them a discreet, lower-cost option for preventing ice dams. Roof heating cables deliver more customizable and powerful heat along roof edges to handle heavy snow and ice, but they require more material and labor, increasing your upfront investment. Evaluate your roof design, winter weather demands, and energy budget to select the system that works best for your property.

Roof heating cables prevent ice dams by melting snow and stopping ice buildup at the roof edge. Ice damming occurs when melting snow refreezes on a cold roof—often right above the gutter line—and blocks water from draining, which can force moisture under shingles into your home. Heating cables maintain a warm channel that clears ice dams as soon as they form and protects your roof from water damage and structural issues.

Roof heating cables last between two and ten years before replacement is needed, wearing out faster than your roof itself. Their lifespan depends on climate severity, cable type, and exposure to physical damage. Consistent inspections and preventative maintenance—such as clearing debris, tightening clips, and checking electrical connections—can extend their service life and ensure reliable snow and ice protection each winter.

To safely remove snow from your roof, start with a specially designed roof rake, standing firmly on the ground and pulling snow downhill rather than climbing onto the roof. You can also apply calcium chloride ice melt to break up stubborn ice or gently use a secured rope from a safe vantage point. 

Keep in mind that large snow slabs can weigh hundreds of pounds and pose a serious fall risk. If conditions are hazardous or you lack the right equipment, hire a professional to protect your safety and your roof’s integrity.
