"If you need a new roof, look no further. OMR Construction is the place. The owner Ozzy was fantastic to work with, he was patient and answered all of our questions. We had a intermittent leak in our attic for a long time which was caused years before by a shoddy installation. Ozzy reassured us that, like the logo on his truck says, "The problems stop here". Well they did. Leaks are gone, the roof looks great, and no more stress, or running up to the attic to check for wet spots. I have to also state that Ozzy's crew are amazing. They stripped just shy of 7 TONS! of old multiple layers of roofing from the 3 structures on my property, installed the new roof, did an incredible cooper flashing job on my chimney and had every thing cleaned up in 2 days. WOW! Highly recommended."

"He came out and cleaned the gutters out. He was suppose to check out the roof. It was in the 90s and he said it was too hot and there was a risk of the shingles breaking off if he went up there, which I know to be true. But he never came back to check it. As for cleaning the gutters, he did a good job. As for as checking the roof, he didn't do anything."

"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."

"This was the first roof my husband and I have had to buy and as a result we were a bit apprehensive about who to choose. Dutt Roofing came highly recommended from a good friend so we contacted them for an estimate. From the very start, Jeff was incredibly responsive and answered any questions promptly. The price was great and we were able to schedule the installation quickly. Throughout the process, Jeff and his team communicated with us on a daily basis and any problems/concerns that came up were addressed immediately. We never felt rushed or that our questions were 'stupid' or unimportant. His team was very professional and FAST - they stayed on schedule and had the roof finished in record time. We absolutely love our new roof and gutters and HIGHLY recommend Jeff and his team for any roofing/gutter needs you might have!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Bangor, PA

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.
