"Greg and his nephew installed new cabinets, beadboard, trim and a chandelier dimmer switch. The price was fair, and their work is precise. They are very professional and courteous. They brought my wife's design vision to life, and we're very pleased with the results. We're looking forward to the next project. Thanks again."

"Went with them based on reviews on Angi and couldn't be happier. Need a roof repair because of some leaking. They responded promptly and gave a very reasonable quote quickly. They were able to get me scheduled quickly and appeared on time and did and excellent job. They were courteous, professional and cleaned up everything after. Would highly recommend and am keeping their business card for future reference."

"We could not be more pleased with the outstanding work done by Van Dusen Exteriors. Every interaction with every employee, from start to finish, was positive and professional. Over the course of two days, their prompt, courteous and hard-working crew tore off two layers of shingles, replaced three skylights including matching interior trim, and installed a beautiful new roof on the house, breezeway and garage. They made sure that the deck and windows were protected during the removal of the old roof, and left both deck and yard in pristine condition when the job was done. They also left us with some delicious baked goods as a thank you for our business :) We got half a dozen estimates from other roofers, and while Van Dusen's price was very reasonable, we also chose them because of their stellar reputation, which they more than lived up to. It was a pleasure to work with a contractor that exemplifies professionalism, honesty, integrity, and customer service. We highly recommend Van Dusen Exteriors."

"We had a great experience with the guys from Dynasty roofing. They contacted us several times before the actual installation day, gave us a competitive estimate for complete restoration of roof with new decking and saved us money! Fabulous job. Professional crew, courteous and a delight to work with. Completed within a day and cleanup was thorough! Would definitely recommend them!"

"My experience with Fourever Cure Services was everything I could have hoped for. I’m a simple guy so I like when things are kept simple. I had a few rotted boards on my deck that needed replacing. They had them swapped out and even hit the deck with a pressure wash for probably the first time in a decade. It needed it! All very timely and efficient, would recommend."

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