"I recently had my shingle roof replaced by Royal Roofing & Siding, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The team was professional, courteous, and completed the project on schedule. They took the time to explain the different shingle options and made sure everything was installed properly. The new roof looks fantastic and has completely improved the appearance of my home. The crew cleaned up thoroughly after the job, and the entire experience was stress-free. If you’re looking for a trustworthy roofing company for a shingle roof replacement, I highly recommend Royal Roofing & Siding."

"John replaced a roof and installed a hatch on my Bed Stuy brownstone. John was communicative and professional through the whole process. His team is fast and do excellent work. After a year, the hatch needed a small patch. John sent his team out on new years eve, patched the roof in under an hour and didn't charge me a penny. John runs his family business the way everyone should. I highly recommend JJ's roofing."

"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."

"as I was contacting companies to fix my roof leak, I contacted Tri-Boro Roofing.  Carmine called me back the same day I left a message, and we had a prolonged conversation about it.  More of a Q & A, Carmine drilled down in my problem and identified a couple of likely issues that should be identified.  He also told me that one of them (replacing the scupper box (which he explained to me what it was)) would need a scaffold hanging off the back of the building.  And, he didn't have a license for one, so he said he wasn't the best choice for the job.  So he recommended someone else!  (Fort Cica).  A guy willing to take that time, and be that honest - I'm impressed.

"At first it didn't seem to go that well. I had paid a great price for the package, but when the guys came to the house and saw the small opening they would have to climb through to get to my less-than-inviting crawl space, they seemed reluctant to fulfill the deal. They left and I thought I would have to call for a refund. Instead, a truly lovely woman who answered my call at Home Service listened to me with no defensiveness, and seemed genuinely concerned about my experience. She had the owner -- Nick -- come to my house and do the service himself. Nick was polite, friendly, and professional. He didn't balk at the crawl space -- he climbed right in and within 30 minutes the job was done! He gave me his honest opinion about other issues with my chimney but did not try to push any additional services on me. I was really impressed, and if I have other projects that fall within the scope of what Home Service does I will definitely call them. You can tell that Nick cares about his reputation, and that makes all the difference."

"I was very pleased with the company and specifically with Bob, the owner.  He was very professional from the estimate he sent me to the final payment.  The skylights came after the roof was finished but the openings were sealed the correct way.  Even though it rained before the skylights were installed there wasn't a problem.  Plus the original cost of the skylights were reduced because Bob was able to get a better price and even had them delivered quicker.
I would recommend Vandelay to my neighbors and anyone else in need of a new roof.

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