Your Home. Your Priorities. Our Expertise. For more than half a century, GF Sprague has been a growing part of Boston’s architectural fabric. We began by restoring slate roofs and hand-forming copper details for some of the area’s most historic sites and city buildings. These weren’t just jobs, they were lessons in precision and pride. Slate and copper demanded true craftsmanship, the kind that can’t be rushed or faked. That craftsmanship is our foundation. As Boston grew we did too, expanding to help homeowners in the surrounding towns. We wanted to bring the same standard of excellence required on those historic projects to everyone. Today, GF Sprague adds on to our traditional roofing specialties with asphalt, rubber, and cedar. -In addition to our copperwork we can also work on chimneys, gutters, windows, and siding, Whether it’s a 100-year-old brownstone or an updated colonial home, we bring the same commitment to detail, durability, and integrity that defined us on day one. What truly sets GF Sprague apart isn’t just our skill, it’s our promise to treat every customer like family. Every roof we install is a promise: to protect a family and carry forward Boston’s tradition of homes built to last. Along with that promise is another, our Best Price Promise. This means you get the best price for your project every time. Many of our clients have trusted us for generations, passing down their loyalty just as we’ve passed down our craft. With GF Sprague, you don’t just get a contractor — you gain a lifelong, local partner in caring for your home’s exterior.

"Very impressed with Sprague, Mark was very knowledgeable and straightforward. Crew was first class closing roofing and Clean Up in four days and cold weather. Justin was terrific, personable and responsive, and was always on site or available. Crew and especially Foreman were excellent. I would recommend GF Sprague for a high quality Job, their technology and customer service."

"We started out dealing with one of the sales reps John Fossetti. Great experience. He told us about the company, about the products, had samples and a huge selection of siding to choose from. He was very open and answered all of our questions. After several consultations with many companies we knew Beantown was for us. We scheduled siding replacement for our entire house as well as new window replacement for all windows - 24 of them and a new slider. They were very professional and their crew was excellent. The windows had all new construction around them and we got ProVia windows that carry a lifetime warranty. They removed all of the old siding, fixed any rotten or damaged areas, wrapped the entire house to waterproof it and hung new siding, trim, gutters and gutter guards. It turned out absolutely beautiful. Our house looks new again! Jim Ewell the project manager was great to work with. He was very supportive, professional and answered all of our questions. Both he and John were a pleasure to work with. Also, their office staff were very helpful as well. Beantown went above and beyond for us and were so reasonably priced. I highly recommend them! I would definitely use them again for any future projects!"

"Home repair gone wrong… Do NOT use Connell for any home repairs! If you do make that mistake, do NOT hand over your final payment until ALL work has been completed to your satisfaction. A large dead tree uprooted and fell on the corner of my house during a rainstorm in December 2023. It caused damage to my siding, roof and chimney. A neighbor came to look at the damage and suggested a company to repair the roof and siding. It was Connell Roofing. I had not used them previously and would NEVER use them again for any work! They told me it would take 4-5 days to complete the work. They brought in a dumpster and began setting up their equipment in June 2024. Things seemed to be good. I was working remotely so could monitor the progress. On day 1, I had a woman contractor ask if she could use my toilet. Then the next day the same thing. Then a man asked to use my toilet. I decided to call the head company and they told me that workers should be going to the bathroom when they leave my house for their lunch break. In the 7 days that they worked on my house, they NEVER left for lunch. They were there at 7:00 am and left around 7:00-30 pm. When I went downstairs to my kitchen, I several times witnessed male workers walking towards the woods on the side and rear of my property looking over their shoulders. Then I saw them at least twice standing in the woods on my property about 25-50 feet from my lawn urinating. I reported that to Connell. You would think that if a company was going to spend 5 days working at your house they would bring a port-o-potty. I can only imagine them defecating in my woods had I not been working from home. Who knows, they may have done that while I was not looking. I prefer NOT to think about it. They played a boom box super loud! Even with my windows closed and A/C on, it was noisy to work in my office. One of my neighbors actually moved out of their house on the 3rd day and did not return until after the work was finished. The workers worked too long a day. I am used to getting things done after work in the evening in my yard like mowing and gardening, but that was all but impossible with the crew working until 7:30 pm each night. To replace my roof, they needed to remove all the old nails. Although they used a tarp to catch them as they were removed, and a magnetic equipment on wheels to gather them each night, I spent the next several months picking up nails all over my yard which must have numbers at least 200! I have a 9 year old daughter who often runs in the grass barefoot. I could only imagine the hospital visit if and bill if she stepped on one and it went through her heel. I have a small mudroom in which I built a beautiful wooden bench that I stained. When the men came in to reside that area (it was previously sided by the former owner), I watched one man feel how smooth the bench surface was. The workers then proceeded to stand on the bench the next 2 days working without a blanket and scuffed the heck out of the surface! I had to sand it several times and recoat it, but the dents and scrapes will remain. All of my gutters and downspouts needed to be replaced. It sounds easy to put 2 pieces of gutter pipes together, but if your workers are not properly trained, and there is a lack of supervision and inspection by Connell, problems will arise. The day the gutters were finished we had a heavy downpour. I went outside to see how the new gutters held up. The one by the garage was gushing water out of its sides for who knows why. When I looked a little closer I could see that the pipes were connected backwards, so the top piece was outside the bottom piece. Had that gutters been inspected, the problem would have been noticed before it rained. Although the workers used a tarp to shield my front door while removing the old siding, they did not protect when they put the new siding up. I had scuffs all over my black door so it needed to be repainted. When Connell sent a painter, he was not a professional. He clearly missed spots with the brush, and you could see that he did not have enough paint on his roller when he rolled the paint on. I called Connell several times then and then months later to get it repainted again. A few days after he painted it, the paint started shipping off. I had not touched it, not had there been a storm, it just was not painted right. 14 months of excuses and my door remains unfinished. I wanted to delay a portion of my final payment at the end of work in June 2024 until my door had been repainted to my satisfaction, but was heavily pressured to pay every penny then, and was guaranteed that the repair would be made to my satisfaction and soon. The workers in the head office talk a good game and are great at making excuses for their workers’ work but are slow/unresponsive to fix problems. Final opinion: DO NOT USE CONNELL FOR ANY REPAIR WORK."

"I had a FANTASTIC experience with LCT! It started with a prompt response from them, setting up an appointment the next day after a tree fell on my house. James came down and explained everything thoroughly and gave me some options. After talking to a few other vendors, I knew I wanted to go with LCT. Their pricing was better than the other quotes and James was great to work with. Before the crew started any work I met the owner, Luis, and knew I had chosen the right company. He was just as great as James, very thorough and let me know what would be happening. In addition to needing the roof replaced we also had some damage to rafters and decking to replace. After the job was complete, Luis did a thorough inspection of the work and made sure I was happy with everything. The crew did an amazing job and I couldn't be happier with the work. The office staff was also great to work with! I got to meet them when I went down to pay the invoice. A 5 star experience from start to finish. Thank you LCT!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Canton, MA

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.
