"Gamaliel is very professional and does quality work. I was very pleased and satisfied with his work, hands down. I have girded him for a second project to refinish and paint my porch poles. Not only did he do an excellent job, he replaced one of the poles that was off centered by the builder! I would highly recommend Gamaliel for ALL of your home improvement needs."

"Very happy with the results. The crew and the crew boss ran magnets over the yard to pick up nails. I've mowed the yard twice and the mower has not gotten a single roofing nail. Roof looks great."

"I am very pleased that I used Southern Leisure Builders. They were very patient with my questions and always followed with very timely and professional answers. The entire staff/workers are very dedicated in doing a very professional job. I am extremely pleased in their work ethics and the seriousness in the way they worked and treated me. It is difficult in this atmosphere to find and hire good honest people to work. In saying that I would most definitely recommend Southern Leisure for any type of work needed for your home. They are reliable and most importantly honest and their work speaks for itself."

"Gary, was very helpful and pointed me on the right direction after I had discussed my concerns. Had he been able to help me I would have gladly hired him. My system ended up being under warranty and he suggested I contact the manufacture as to not void my warranty."

"

They were awesome.

I shopped windows like crazy. They have their own special window that is very nice and energy efficient.

They scheduled the roof first. Two days later they did my siding and windows.

Excellent cleanup.

They were not the lowest price, but were close. About $1000 higher than the lowest bid.

I highly recommend them to anyone need exterior work done.

"Mr. Farmer and his team did a FANTASTIC job! They had my roof on in a day and had the siding completed in under 3 days. Above and Beyond used high quality products for both the roof and the siding. He put on seamless gutters as well as making sure everything was clean when his crew left. He also kept me up to date and informed of his progress with text messages and photos when everything was completed. I have already recommended his company to my family, friends, and co-workers if they ever need work done on their homes. These guys were professional, polite, and completed the job on time and on budget. I needed the exterior of my home completed in 2 weeks and Above and Beyond made that happen well before my new tenants moved in. The house looks better then when I lived in it thanks to the great quality work of Above and Beyond Construction!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Cherry Point, NC

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.
