"Everything that Local Roofing Company did on roofing and gutters deserves an Excellent rating! I am so fortunate to have learned about this company and to have had them take care of my roof repairs and replace my gutters. I was so impressed with everything in the process from the start with discussing the work needed to the end with their completion of the work. Everyone was very professional and hard working, from the owner, Sam, to all his employees. I have a great comfort level and complete trust in their workmanship and have great appreciation for the work they did. I will call on Local Roofing Company again and I highly recommend them should anyone have similar needs. I can’t say enough about how happy I am to have learned about this company and I can confidently very highly recommend their services."

"A recent storm took down our gutter. Everlasting Gutters came out quickly for a quote and was able to get it replaced during the holidays which we really appreciated. Price was fair for a gutter repair and service was done on time and very professional. Would highly recommend"

"Our roof looks fantastic after being cleaned by Milliken's Roofing. Two neighbors also had their roofs cleaned, and both were extremely happy. I wanted the cleaning performed by a roofing professional, like Jason Milliken, as he could assess the condition of the roof during the process. Many roof cleaners are not experts, and you can truly ruin your roof unless it is done by someone with a vast amount of experience. Call Milliken's Roofing if you need it cleaned. It will be the best decision that you have made in a long time!"

"We had an excellent experience. The owner, Wade, was prompt and responsive and clearly had a depth of experience in roofing. He was honest about our options, not trying to upsell, and his bid was excellent. Wade even included more for the same amount when an additional feature was added. The roof looks fantastic and we haven't had any problems."

"The roof and gutter replacement and aluminum window wrap were repairs to storm damage. The painting and garage door aluminum wrap were optional services that I decided to go ahead with because of the other related work being performed. The workmanship quality varied depending on what type of work was being done.
Roofing - This was by far the best part of the work performed in terms of quality and workmanship. There really is nothing like a Sparkman roof that I have seen (a lot of roofs were replaced last year due to hail damage). It looks great, the ridge vents improved the overall look of the roofline, and they paid attention to all the fine details such as matching the color of the vents etc. My one qualm is the scheduling. It seems like it took a long time to get the work scheduled, and then they kept moving the date. Then they literally gave me one days notice before they came to do the work.
Gutters - The gutter installation quality was good. Unfortunately they ordered the wrong color. They showed up one night to do the installation without warning, and we were away from the house while the work was being done. When we got home it was dark, so I didnt notice the color difference until the next day. Instead of removing and replacing with the correct color, they offered to paint the gutters and cut me a good deal on painting the soffit and fascia. All in all I was satisfied with this solution but again, not happy with the scheduling aspect (suddenly turning up to do the work without notice).
Aluminum wrap - This was the least satisfying part of the work. The subcontractor who did the work did not do a very good job in my opinion. They did not remove the old wrap from around the windows and opted to install the new wrap over the old wrap. The bending and forming of the wrap, and the sealing were ok but not great. They did a sloppy job of nailing the wrap. The original wrap was installed during a window installation and the nails were well hidden by the window installers. The Sparkman subcontractor made no attempt to hide the nails, so the overall finish doesnt look so great. Additionally, they installed wrap on the garage door with visible nails, and did a poor job of installing the weather strip molding over the wrap. I had to remove the weather strip molding and reinstall it myself to make it look decent. They also didnt seal it, so I had to do that as well.
All in all my results were mixed. I'd have them install a roof any day. However, I would probably not use them for any other type of work on my home in the future.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Arrington, TN

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.
