"Buckeye Roofing did a great job. The workers were great. got the job done in 2 days. Cleaned up everything afterwards and was very polite and friendly. The Owner Brent Collier came out to our house and explained everything he was going to do. We had 5 roofing companies come out to our home but Buckey Roofing was the only one that did not have a mark with the Better Business Bureau. Our roof was old and had a lot of wind damage and Brent took a lot of pictures and worked with our insurance company and they paid for our roof. My neigbors have told me what a great job Buckeye Roofing done on our house. One neighbor asked for their number because he want a new roof next year and would like to got with Buckeye Roofing. All I can say is if you need a new roof talk to Brent Collier with Buckey Roofing. You will not regret it. Bev"

"I had Renew put on a new roof for me and it looks amazing! From start to finish their sale person and project managers were in constant contact ensuring we were satisfied with the product during and after the installation. The product looked amazing and they did an awesome job going around and cleaning up. We have dogs and were worried that nails or sharp objects would be left behind and even with a strong magnet I did not find a single nail. I would highly recommend them for any project. You can shop around but you won’t find more down to earth and honest people to work with."

"We had new windows installed January 2023 and ran into a problem with the window company completing our bay window standing seam metal roof that we requested. After over two months of waiting, I contacted Bill Jackson at Bill Jackson Roofing to see if he could get the roof completed. Bill came out right away and the roof was installed the following week. The installers were very professional and were very concerned that our design needs were met. We are EXTREMELY pleased with our bay window standing seam metal roof and the quality of work performed by Bill Jackson Roofing. I would definitely recommend calling Bill Jackson for your metal roof needs."

"Bottom line: I'm using 40% less gas heating than before the insulation.
A & J gave me the best price. I was impressed with the thorough way in which Jerry put together the estimate.
I also qualified for a rebate from Columbia Gas. Jerry helped guide me with questions concerning the rebate process.
If your roof has wide eaves like I have, Jerry doesn't make holes in your walls that you will have to repair. He blows the insulation into the wall from above. They put a tube all the way down between the wall studs and begin filling and compacting from the bottom. This may not be possible in newer homes that were built with fire breaks in the walls.
Under the windows they did have to drill through the mortar in the brick wall to get a hose in, and the way they patch that up it isn't noticeable at all.
The crew are polite and friendly and hardworking.
I've monitored my energy usage via my programmable thermostat and I'm running the furnace 40% less than before the work that Jerry did.
I'm a happy camper. I can't say anything bad about A & J.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Bath, OH

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.
