"Tom was very eager to help and to make the job the best he could for the amount of money I had to work with. Overall they do a pretty good job. Scheduling delays occurred with both roof and gutter crews due to a busy storm season. While understandable, the delays could have been communicated better and cleanup a little more thorough once the job was completed. I think a ‘B’ is a pretty fair rating, the work didn’t blow my mind but was satisfactory and should last for years to come."

"After a quick and painless estimate and a 2 week wait for the insurance check, O'Franco Roofing was on the job bright and early. They worked dawn to dusk for three days. By the end of the third day all the debris was cleaned up and the roof has never looked better. I highly recommend O'Franco Roofing for all your roofing and gutter needs. I will be a return customer from now on."

"Quick, smooth, easy. Heath is a trustworthy man and runs a tight ship. He even saved me money on top of being the best value when I was quoting for the job! Living in Oklahoma we have lots of severe weather, so the roof had taken a beating. Now it looks great! Thanks Trifecta!"

"

He was able to replace the vent on the roof which has stopped the bird from entering.  He took pictures as he was doing the work and e-mailed them to me.

He sealed the roof and 2 separate occasions while only charging for 1 of them and it has stopped the water issue.

"Very professional, friendly, and prompt service.  They took time to explain what had caused the damages to the roof and what needed to be done to prevent the damages from re-occurring.  Also, they explained the benefits of a full roof replacement vs just repairing the damaged area.

"From start to finish, Jim and his crew (Allen and Ronnie) were fantastic to work with.  Very punctual, finished ahead of schedule and had a keen eye for detail and quality.  They were always open to suggestions by us, always willing to make a recommendation on material type or how to detail a condition and extremely fair on settling up on a material cost plus contract.  He provided a proof of insurance.  Jobsite was sparkling clean when they completed the work.

"They did a fabulous job. They completely removed and disposed of the old roof. Repaired decking and replaced with new roof. The crew did a great job. They cleaned up everything and were able to finish in one day. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone with roofing needs."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Avoca, AR

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.
