"On Top Roofing is Top of the Line Roofer. Professional delivery with solid quality! Company was hired to correct the issues caused by a prior roofer whose incompetence has cost me additional thousands in repair. On Top Roofing installed a ridge vent that the prior roofer only placed on the roof, re-flashed the chimney where prior roofer failed to install to match new rook lines, re-surface flat rook where prior roofer ignored. In addition, On Top Roofing was used on apartment buildings to help close up the roof and eliminate a bat problem. On the Top Roofing is the only roofing company to use. It takes a while to get on their schedule, but they show when they say the will and do the job they say they will do. Only hire On the Top!! You will not regret."

"We had American Hime Fitters put in a couple doors and windows. We called about a month ago, they were very prompt and professional showing up on time. Our materials as well as the install happened quicker than we expected right before Christmas. If you are looking to get projects done this is the Go to Company. Jay and Shawn were a great pleasure to work with and they made our dreams and expectations happen."

"We just had our roof replaced by Global Roofing. It was amazing to work with Andrea and Freddy. We couldn’t have been happier with the whole experience! We got several quotes for our roofing job, changed our mind about the material along the way (went from metal to asphalt), and Andrea and Freddy were great throughout the process. Global Roofing had the best recommendations (one of the reasons we chose them), and after working with them we know why! Communication was amazing, if there were any delays due to ordering supplies like the skylights we were immediately informed, and the final scheduling for the project was also easy. I was at work all day while they were actually doing the roof, and other than the new beautiful roof on my house I was not able to tell that any contractors were at my house all!!! They covered the house in tarps while taking the old shingles off, and the entire surrounding area of my house was spotless when they left! And the Final product looks great! A truly great company, and I am looking forward to hire them for future projects!"

"I own some rental property that I don't live in and I contacted Rich to come out because the roof on a small addition was leaking. He came out pretty quickly, I did not have to be present which is always nice because it's difficult for me to get out there during the week. The day after Rich came out I had the quote for the roof replacement in my email. The cost was on the lower side of three quotes I had for the job. I contacted Rich to tell him I liked the proposal and to schedule the job, they came out a week and a half later and replaced the roof. It looks good and no longer leaks! One of the reason's I was so impressed with this company is that when I received the proposal to repair the roof it noted that some of the plywood was rotted and may need to be replaced,it gave a price to have all the roof decking done. When the crew was at the property they did find that several of the plywood sheets needed to be replaced. The crew took the time to photograph the rotted wood so that I knew and could see they were damage and they weren't trying to inflate the price. That kind of attention to detail is why I recommend this company and will use them again."

"The owner Dennis returned my request for quote submitted via Angie's list in less than 24 hours. The next day he arrived promptly at our agreed upon time. The estimate was a very good value being winter here in New England. I accepted the offer. I was given two possible dates for the work to be done. He and his crew arrived the very next since there was a snow storm in the forecast. I watched as they repaired the damaged plywood and put on the new roof. They worked carefully and did a great job in my opinion."

"We hired Rick two years ago and were very happy so we naturally called him again. This time we needed the outside of the house stained.   Rick wasn?t familiar with redwood so he researched to find the best products and how to apply them. The house is beautiful.
Then we asked Rick to fix the significant damage caused by ice dams last winter. Most of the ceilings needed to be repaired and painted. One bedroom only needed minor repair. Two other bedrooms and the kitchen needed repainting. We also asked Rick to make some repairs, for example, removing unneeded telephone jacks and fixing a missing piece of molding. Our kitchen has features that are hard to paint: two arches and a skylight in the ceiling and a railing with spindles. Everything was done perfectly.
Rick does fantastic work.   He cared about our home as if it were his own. On his own he touched up the rooms he did two years ago.  He paid super attention to detail and made sure that everything was done to his standards and ours.  He spent the time needed to make sure things were done right.  He also made sure things were kept clean along the way and at the end.   Rick even gave us advice when we asked for it and came up with some great ideas that we applied and were very happy with.  The cost was exactly what he told us it would be and the work was done when he said it would be done.
Rick is a very good painter, totally reliable and trustworthy (we gave him a key and we went on vacation). We very highly recommend Rick and. in fact,  will have him do more work for us in the future.

"Howard construction dis a great job replacing my roof. I initially called them after a big storm to replace some shingles. They came out the day after the storm (Saturday) to do the repair. I was so impressed with Howard that I had him quote me a replacement for the roof. He was quick to provide the quote and was able to get the job done quickly. The roof looks great. I would recommend Howard Construction to anyone."

"Not only could they paint it, but they painted it well! Even before the painting, I walked outside and looked at my newly washed vinyl siding and vinyl deck and exclaimed "wow!" They did an excellent job of all parts. They even took a piece of the railing to the paint store so that they would match the color. I had checked with another company which had an A report card here on Angie's List but Hector's was much better by price and made me feel better. I should note for anyone who wants to get both of these done that the cost of the painting/staining is higher than the cost of the power washing. But even though painting isn't there primary job, the results look like it was. they pressure wash by actually using a chemical to melt off the mold/algae/whatever it is, then use water to rinse it away. They were professional, friendly, trustworthy, everything you look for in someone doing a big job. Excellent all-around."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Cherry Valley, 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.
