"Although I thought the roof was a little high I am confident of the quality and I had gutter supplies which Mr Bullock had his work install for me "Free" I'm hoping I won't need them again but if I'll call him first

"Better than I expected! Jim responded to my request for a quote and arrived at my home the next day. He provided me with a detailed inspection and showed me pictures of the problems with my existing roof. He explained all my options thoroughly and was able to start within two weeks time. He secured the necessary permit from the county and his team of installers was top notch. The installation was pain free and only took 2.5 days! He even replaced a piece of plywood that had water damage."

"Rep. checked entire system. He found several wires not connected properly and fixed this. He also made recommendations regarding the attachment of the panels to the rood that would provide more stability and leakproofing. The representative appeared to know what he was doing - much better than others, including the representative who was engaged by the roofer (who replaced our rood due to hail damage) to disconnect/connect the panels."

"Great company! Professional owner! Hardworking Crew! Excellent job! I contacted the company on Tuesday 2/15 and the owner was professional and ready to assist. I explained what I needed and he listened, offered suggestions, and gave me a great price. I signed my contract the following day. Bright and early this morning the crew arrived and got right to work. It took them approximately 6 hours and they did a lovely job. I recommend Floyd's roofing of the Carolinas to anyone and everyone that needs roofing installation or repairs and I look forward to doing business with them in the future."

"I checked Angie's List before calling to have my gutters cleaned, but when I received Tom's estimate I decided to just replace everything; not only was the price better than what the original gutters cost me but the problems uncovered and quality of work made it well worth while. The existing gutters were only 3 years old, but were too small and improperly hung; hence there was vegetation growing in them. I had 6" gutters with Shurflo installed. There also was a 2 foot long section of soffit through which water leaked during a recent rain. The estimate for the wood work ($100) included replacing that piece of soffit plus any damage to supporting beams or trusses underneath it. Anthony and Chad were the initial crew and later that afternoon were supplemented by Richard and Jason as the problems began to surface. In removing the old gutters and rehanging the new, for example, it was discovered that the roof line of the added rear porch was 2" higher than the house itself, which means the original gutters installed had not allowed for the flow of water in the correct direction, so they never were empty. Also, as so often happens, the removal of the one piece of rotted soffit revealed wood damage extending almost 12 feet. Anthony, Chad, Richard, and Jason were able to install all the guttering except for the front of the house (where the soffit was to be replaced) before they left. Today Anthony and Jason returned with all the needed materials, including lumber and even the screening for the soffit (open attic), and completed the job. The cost for the extra 10 plus feet was only $250. Everything has been caulked and the wood surfaces are all primed, ready for me to paint. I already have spoken to them about having some reinforcement for sagging, 8-foot wooden gates early this winter and likely next spring will have them replace multiple fence posts as none of the original ones were set in concrete. These guys are really professional, showing the customer what they are doing, answering questions, polite, knowledgeable and both times their clean-up has been spotless!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Aynor, SC

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.
