"I HIGHLY advise agaist using AES Property Consultants LLC, they were engaged to provide property management and renovation services in Lorain, Ohio. During the course of the relationship, the company performed activities requiring an Ohio real estate broker's license, including tenant placement, rent collection, and management of rental units, without holding a valid state of ohio real estate brokers license. The company failed to comply with contractual and statutory obligations, including failure to return tenant security deposits, failure to return property keys and access devices, and failure to remit insurance proceeds received for a damage claim. No repairs were completed, and no insurance funds were returned to ownership. Tenant placement practices relied on informal solicitation methods rather than open marketing, resulting in repeated tenant nonpayment issues and financial harm. Due to these issues, the management relationship was terminated. Total lost was in excess of $35k!"

"I was totally satisified with the work done on my roof and gutter. I had a leak on from my roof into my family room. Home Genius Exteriors was called. Project manager, Thomas Barto and crew told me what to expect, the time they would arrive and how long the job would take. They arrived promptly and finished the job as promised. They left the property clean and in order. I am totally satisified with the work done and would not hesitate to call them again for future projects."

"Working with Renew Home Exteriors was easy. Their salesman was knowledgeable about the different window options and was able to walk us through financing the project. When the day of install came the crew was able to replace, seal, and trim the windows including installing a large bay window with a facade to match the character of our house."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Berea, 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.
