"OMG !!!!!! This company is the bomb.❤️❤️❤️ I had 4 different roof companies to come out. Robert was the best. From the first interview til the last he was very professional. There was no rushing He was very patient. Mind you I am a senior and not once did I feel I was being taking advantage of or pressured. He explained the materials they would be using. When I did decide to use him he came back out went over everything again and later that evening called and confirm that his team will be there next morning between 7-8. By 7:30 the team arrives. Omg !!!! I have no complaints the beginning to the end of tearing the roof down they gave pictures. The clean up was amazing. They did not leave until everything was completed. I am so happy with him. Anyone reading this please consider using This company. You will be not sorry. But well please. Everything comes with a warranty U.S Home Remodeling. God Bless You"

"My modeling consultant walked me through every stage of my window installation project. Alex answered all my questions and concerns which put me at ease. Very thankful that a quality assurance manager was on site during the installation to get my feedback and ensure the project was completed properly and promptly. Overall, very good experience with the company. I would definitely recommend them for home remodeling projects."

"Prompt & professional was Dominick (owner), George (foreman) and the entire roofing crew, from the beginning of work to the end. The attention to detail that D & S Roofing provided was an absolute, and worthy, "10" on a scale of 1 to 10. Every question we had throughout the 2-day operation was addressed immediately. All high-quality material was used on the roof (and gutters), including fantastic installation equipment. A comprehensive cleanup was also performed after the first day, as well as after the second day by several crew members. One last note, Kate (in the office) was a pleasure to communicate with from my initial-contact phone call, and throughout the whole process. Thank you (again) D & S Roofing for doing a great job, and putting a big smile back on my face! God bless!!!"

"

Pete Petrochilos and his entire team were extremely professional and the workmanship was superb.  They came when they said they would come and cleaned up after they finished their work each day.  They were polite and dedicated.  Pete was a real gentleman and kept his word on everything that he promised.  If there was a concern, he answered his phone, no matter what the hour and resolved every situation to my complete satisfaction.  His business ethics are of the highest standard and truly unheard of in todays marketplace.  I would recommend him highly to anyone who is looking to have high quality work done without worry or frustration and with the added knowledge that he backs up all his work.  Although his price may have been a bit higher than some, the materials he used, including the insulation, gutters, siding etc. were of the best quality and warranted the very slightly higher cost.  He did a beautiful job!  I have a friend who is extremely knowledgeable and very discerning.   He has already had commented on the flawlessness of Pete's work and now want to use him as well.

Addendum: I had a question a year later about a section of the siding on the upstairs deck.  He drove out to my house in the heat and heavy beach traffic (about an hour) and explained to me why it had been done the way it was done (correctly, I might add).  He wouldn't even take a dime for his trouble.  This is just the kind of service and consideration that can be expected of him.

"Hired last year, roof was fine until snow collected on roof and began to melt and it was then it leaked into the house. I called and they responded which was good, they sent people to the house and hopefully repaired the leak but now I have to fix the water damage(to sheetrock) myself for the second time."

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