"Matt assured me that his team could resolve the leak in my roof, and while they arrived promptly, they completed the job in under an hour and charged me $2,500 to essentially replace a few shingles. Reluctantly, I paid, hoping to get through the season without further issues. Unfortunately, the leak persisted. Despite multiple visits from the crew, they only performed minimal work, often blaming debris or other factors to avoid addressing the underlying problem. Fast forward two years, and the roof is still leaking significantly. Matt's behavior has been nothing short of deceitful. I recently spoke with his service representative, Billie, whose favorite word is apparently "unfortunately". They refuse to stand by the shoddy and exorbitantly priced work. Overall, my experience has been nothing but frustrating and disappointing, and I would strongly advise against choosing Phase 4 for roofing needs. I also captured photos of their subpar work, including poorly installed shingles behind the broken siding. The best word to describe this situation is "fraudulent." Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere."

"I had Reliance replace a flat roof on my garage in 2023 and I was so pleased with the work they did, that I had them return in 2024 to replace the pitched roof on my house. James and his team were prompt, courteous and left my property very tidy. The wind storms of February 2025 have been no match for my new rooves and I feel very confident and secure. What made me select Reliance was James's presentation which was comprehensive and concise. He was very approachable for any questions I had, and his explanations were very clear and not overly complicated. I felt he knows every aspect of his family business and knew he could handle any issues that might arise. Though any home project is inherently stressful, James put me at ease and I strongly recommend him and his team for your roofing job!"

"We recently had our home siding replaced by J.W. Tull, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. Their price was very competitive, and the quality of their work was outstanding. Joel, our project consultant, was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the design and product selection process. He helped us choose a combination of CertainTeed siding with beautiful accents in shakers, board and batten, and stonework — and the end result exceeded our expectations. Joe, our project manager, was meticulous and detail-oriented. He kept us informed throughout the entire project and was always easy to reach with any questions. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out — especially the stonework, which looks absolutely stunning. The craftsmanship and attention to detail really show. We highly recommend J.W. Tull to anyone considering new siding!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Cheltenham, PA

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.
