"Bill Taylor, the President of the company, carefully surveyed the condition of the roof. His detailed, clear estimate addressed all of my concerns. The crew assigned to the project was efficient and courteous. The company is GAF certified, ensuring the warranty will be honored. I highly recommend Four Seasons Roofing."

"Very happy with the quality, timing and price. Good communication as well. The old roof had to be removed from both the main house and detached garage. The house had multiple layers of shingles that needed to come off and the garage also had the original cedar shingles in addition to the many layers of asphalt shingles. It was very messy getting the old roof off but the crew was really good about cleaning up. At the end of the first day the yard was a clean as it was before the work started. The entire job took only two days and the crew was able to start work the same week I signed the contract. Because less plywood was used than was quoted, the final price was even a few bucks less than the contracted price I agreed to. So overall I am very happy. Was a really smooth and easy project compared to past home projects."

"It went well. Installation was timely (and given the COVID19 situation, quite dynamic), professional, clean and for the most part without misadventure. Windows are smooth and attractive, and as far as I can tell, energy efficiency is solid."

"I had the pleasure of working with Jose, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their professionalism, quality of work, and customer service. From the moment I reached out for a quote, their team was responsive and helpful, answering all my questions with patience and expertise. The roofing team arrived on time, prepared, and ready to get the job done. They took great care in protecting my property during the entire process, ensuring there was no mess left behind. The quality of their work exceeded all expectations – my new roof looks amazing, and I feel confident knowing it’s built to last. What stood out most was their commitment to excellence. Not only did they complete the job quickly, but they also went above and beyond to ensure everything was done to the highest standard. The communication throughout the process was top-notch, and they kept me informed every step of the way."

"Joe came to give me an estimate at my house in October. He was very knowledgeable and spent a lot of time educating me on the whole process and roofing in General.. VERY PATIENT and makes you feel very comfortable. He wanted to ensure that I fully understood the process and trusted that I would make an intelligent decision. I chose Rapid Restore and everything went exactly as planned and scheduled. You can tell they care about quality just by watching them install. Thanks a lot guys, me and my wife would definitely recommend!"

"Our experience with Thermosiding was absolutely incredible. Not only are they expert craftsmen, they are also the hardest working,kindest, most patient men you would ever want to work on your house. They arrived every day between 9 and 9:30, and rarely left before 6:30pm. When we were unsure about something, they took all the time we needed to explain what they were doing or show us different options, so we could make a choice. Their number one concern was to make us happy, and they definitely accompished that goal. We chose light gray siding and blue shutters, but what made our house different was our request for red trim around different areas of the house to make it really stand out. Paul, the foreman, walked down the block with me so I could show him a house that had the look I wanted with the trim, and he said "No problem." It was enormous amount of extra work for them, but they never complained. It came out absolutely beautiful, our house looks magnificent. I loved the crew so much I baked them chocolate chip cookies and brownies. The next day, the boss, Peter, knocked on my door at lunch time and said "You cooked yesterday, I cooked today!" In one hand he had a plate of delicious baked eggplant, and in the other a delicious tomato salad with feta cheese and onions. And, an entire loaf of italian bread. Several times during the construction process Peter cooked lunch for the crew, and always had a plate for me. That's just the kind of guys they were. When they were just about finished with the job, my husband walked around to the back of the house and saw Paul working on some screens. He asked, "What are you doing?" Paul replied, "I'm replacing all your screens that have paint on them." That was practically every screen in the house, since the last painter we had was a slob. We certainly never asked Paul to do that, and we were not charged for that. Again, a beautiful act of kindness on Paul's part. I was sorry to see the job end because we will definitely miss the crew. I hope a million people stop by our house and ask who did the work. It will be my pleasure to recommend Thermosiding."

"It didn't go very well. The gentleman came and looked at the roof. He said that he would send us a summary of what he found but we never received it. He just looked at the roof, he never did any work. He was on time. I am less likely to use them again. He didn't really do any work, he just looked at the roof for 10/15 minutes."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Brentwood, NY

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.
