"3 Son’s Siding & Gutters LLC did my roof about four months ago.They came and gave me a price that was more than fair…3 Son’s were very professional,work very safely.They stripped two layers, found that they had to get plywood and replace the whole roof, it was a bit more but they did the plywood, re-shingled the roof in the one day.i was very impressed with the way all the workers did what needed to be done. The job was done in a day and a half,all the mess was picked up went around the house with magnets picking up all the nails.All I can say I believe they are very professional, very concerned about how my property was left I think it was cleaner than when they started.Very good crew did a great job couldn’t be any happier. Great crew very professional!!!! Thanks for all your hard work.Al Couture Southwick Mass."

"Our project was the residing of a large two story duplex that has been in our family since 1915 that was carrying siding from 1985. Everyone at Alliance was a pleasure to deal with from Keith, our salesman to Sergie the lead installer on our job."

"Few things are as stressful as looking for someone to do your roof. Your house is a massive investment and the roof is one of the most important structures your house has. When I decided it was time for my roof to be done, I got about half a dozen estimates including family members with businesses. Not only did Britt Easterly of Bee Home Improvement come out the least expensive, but I was immediately put at ease by his personality and professionalism. He had great references, had done the roofs of many people we knew, and put zero pressure on us. He came to our house with roof samples and made the process painless. The decision was pretty easy after our initial meeting. When the day came I worked at home so I could watch the progress. I am an engineer, and very picky, so I watched with a very skeptical eye. I have an average size ranch but it was double shingled. His crew stripped the roof and installed the new roof in one complete day. They were friendly and hard working. They cleaned up as though they were never there. Honestly I think I found about two nails and a couple pieces of old asphalt the size of a coaster. What a difference a new roof makes! It has been about eight months now and there has been absolutely no problems. I have already recommended him to other friends and they are just as pleased. I don't throw my endorsement behind many people, but I certainly feel comfortable recommending Brett to do your roof."

"Gary, was very helpful and pointed me on the right direction after I had discussed my concerns. Had he been able to help me I would have gladly hired him. My system ended up being under warranty and he suggested I contact the manufacture as to not void my warranty."

"I am very happy with the work G+G Overhead Doors did for me. I had a 16'x8' garage door to be installed, but not yet picked out. They helped me through the whole process of narrowing down my decision on a door style/opener style. The door I had picked wasn't in stock in the warehouse which is no big deal, but he worked with me and we got a better door than I originally picked out that was in stock. and ready to be delivered, with a better R-Value. They were very prompt in letting me know of any updates, and they were also very professional. They have followed up since finishing the install to make sure everything is still up to par, which everything is working just as it was the day of installation. Overall, 5 stars I would highly recommend them for a garage door installation."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Ashford, CT

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.
