"Installer showed up on time. Did an outstanding job not only of installing a new Gutter Guard system but of cleaning up after all work was complete. He was both courtesy & professional. Would highly recommend this company for any and all roofing work."

"The work was done in an outstanding manner--everything was cleaned thoroughly and everything put back in place when the work was complete. The roof and gutters were also done and minor repairs done to the gutters and covers to ensure they were in good shape. I have used this company before and will always give them any business I have that they can do. Their prices are fair and their work is first class."

"Jay and Kyle were outstanding! They arrived on time and provided a variety of options for the job. We had an old lamp post that was not grounded out front that produced a healthy shock if you touched it. The previous owners installed it improperly and it would have required a "thumper" to discover exactly where it connected to the house. Jay and Kyle offered a more affordable option--to simply cut off the wire and wrap it so we could remove the eyesore. Even though it was the end of the day, they went above and beyond to provide top-notch, friendly service. They even dug the lamp post out of the ground for me! 
Excellent service. I can't recommend them enough!!!

"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."

"Jesus and his crew far exceeded our expectations. They finished our roof within 1 1/2 days! They arrived punctual each morning and worked tirelessly. When they were finished they cleaned up so well you couldn't even tell work had been performed! I was worried about nails being left on the ground but Jesus's crew assured me they will clean and do the best they can to get all of them. Our new roof looks amazing! We went with a darker color(we have red brick home with black shutters and a red front door and an paved driveway) so we felt the darker shingle would look best and once they were done it looks wonderful! We were so pleased with their work and we highly recommend Jesus and his crew! We have even reached out to Jesus to give us an estimate on replacing our gutters! I would definitely hire Jesus again!"

"Ferguson Home Improvements did a fantastic job.  All the work that needed to get done, was finished beyond my expectations.  The workers were very friendly.  The job took a little longer that expected, but Ferguson Home Improvements were not at fault, the weather played a major factor with the deck stain and door installation.  At the time the work was getting done, we received a lot of rain and storms.  All in all, I would highly recommend Ferguson Home Improvements.

"So Beautiful! I am finally once again so proud of my 2nd home! I almost passed over this company just based on the name alone. But I am so glad that I hired them. Allen is a true old-school craftsman and he does just about everything. Due to life circumstances, the exterior of my 2nd home was neglected for too many years. It is deep in the woods in WV and other contractors wouldn’t come that far. There was layers of grime, mold, mildew, peeling paint, broken gutters, leaks and rotted wood everywhere. Before Hillbilly Home Improvement came, I hated to go to my 2nd home because it was so dilapidated that I hated to see it. But then Hillbilly Home Improvement came along and made it beautiful again! There were a few surprises along the way, but Allen made them all work out beautifully. I highly recommend Hillbilly Home Improvement. They tackled my really tough job. And now I have a beautiful new roof and a beautiful new exterior. And I love the look of my home! Thank you, Allen and crew for giving me back the joy of seeing my little house in the woods!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Bentonville, VA

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.
