"I couldn't have been more pleased with Charm City Roofing. Home repairs, especially roof repairs were something I dreaded to think about. My experience with Charm City Roofing changed all of that. Starting with my point of contact Mac who did a WONDERFUL job explaining the process and providing a comprehensive step by step of how the installation of my replacement roof would be completed. My home currently has solar panels which needed to be removed before the installation of the new roof could begin, due to the slow response from the solar company this took over 4 months! Dispite this headache, while waiting for the removal the Charm City Roofing Team checked in with me periodically, maintained my tentative install date and continually assured me they would get the job done. The roof was completed as promised and I couldn't be more happy, the installers showed up on time! roof was completed in one business day! (Again as promised) Yard was cleaned up Completely of every material."

"I would definitely contact William Mackay Roofing again! I was told by a different contractor who fixed some gutters, that I needed to have someone who knew how to fix flat roofs inspect my flat porch roof. After asking around, several people highly recommended contacting William Mackay. Brittany quickly scheduled for a technician to come out -- and the same day Mr. Mackay inspected my roof and emailed me the proposal. He answered all my questions (as did Brittany!) The work was scheduled quickly - and the installers/technicians completed the work in one day. Everything was cleaned up (old roof pieces, etc) afterwards. I was a bit wary about having anything done to my home with COVID-19 -- but everyone really seemed aware of social distancing. I was very happy with how streamlined this went, and how pleasant it was to work with William Mackay Roofing."

"Work was done in two phases. 
First the Roof:
   Work started on Dec. 9th and was competed on Dec. 11th
   Materials were delivered just as scheduled on Dec. 7th and stacked on the roof.  Before putting down the new shingles the old roof had to be removed.  This consisted of scrapping off two layers of shingles and tar paper to get down to bare wood.  Bad sections of wood were replaced.  I was impressed with the carpentry skills of the gentleman who replaced the plywood. The new roof consisted of installing ice & water shield, synthetic underlayment, new drip edge starter strip on roof perimeter, new pipe boots, flashing and putting in a ridge vent besides new shingles.  Also included was construction of  a small cricket adjacent to the chimney to help keep water from leaking in around the chimney and closing off one gable vent.  Originally included in the contact was reinstallation of  a new antenna and mount (supplied by me), but I started having concerns about the wiring and grounding being connected according to standards since nobody on the crew seemed to have had experience putting up antennas.  Mr. Garner did come and look at the system and do some research in order to install it, but after finding an antenna installation person and getting a separate estimate he agreed to adjust the price to eliminate the charge for the antenna installation.  I do feel they could have done a better job at protecting my landscaping.  They did put up tarps, but they were laid directly on the plants and pieces of material were dropped onto the plants.  Areas where they had removed shingles but didn't get the underlayment down were covered with tarp until the work could be finished. 
Second the Siding:
   Materials were delivered on Dec. 19th, but due to all the rain in December work started on Jan. 4th and was completed on Jan. 6th.  Mr. Garner did call the nights before whenever work would need to be rescheduled because of the weather.
   Work consisted of removing the old aluminum siding, removing gutters, downspouts and shutters, installing house wrap,flashing tape around all windows, installing new insulated siding with all related details and accessories, new gutters and downspouts and gutter guard and new soffits.  The existing shutters previously removed were replaced. A different crew was used for the siding work than from the crew that did the roof work. I think this crew could also have done a better job of protecting the landscaping around the house.  They did not put any tarps up and some of their equipment went right into my bushes.  Other than the lack of care with my plants I did feel that the crew had good skills.  I was impressed when they used one continuous piece of fascia above my bow window rather than five separate pieces as the previous contractor had done.  Also required was temporarily disconnecting the electric and phone lines from the house in order to get the siding materials behind them.  No power was lost while this took place.  They readily redid the finish work around one of the roof gables so that the construction would match (each gable had been done by a different crew member).  After the job was completed, I noticed that some of the gutter guard wasn't laying flat in one of the gutters.  Mr. Garner sent someone over within the week to fix the issue.
   They did a pretty good job of cleaning up the debris, but I am still finding small pieces of asphalt and siding material in the mulch around the house. 
   A supervisor was pretty much on site at all times.  Only once did an issue come up after the supervisor had left. The crew had brought sheets of particle board to replace the plywood that was removed from the roof.  I showed them that the contract called for plywood to be used, not the particle board brought.  A quick phone call to the main office fixed the situation.  The supervisor was on site for all of my other concerns and readily answered all my questions.  He gave me a good lesson in roofing and siding construction.
   During the contract negotiations all of my questions were answered in a timely manner via e-mail and phone.  Answers were clear and revised contracts were sent quickly.  I found the contract to be very detailed and each phase of work broken out so that I could select exactly which work I wanted done.  Compared to the other estimates received Garner Roofing had the best itemized contract.
   Overall I am happy with the work done. (The B in quality is due to the lack of care with the landscaping.)

"Mr. McGavin came on time, took a look and gave a price to my daughter (I was delayed at an appointment). I ok'd the estimate and he got right to work. He replaced the missing shingles, sealed some others and cleaned out all my gutters. He also tucked in some vinyl siding that had popped loose. He also gave me his assessment of my roof for future work that needs to be done without trying to "up sell" me. Mr. McGavin was very nice, professional and I would hire him again."

"Excellent. A little pricey but worth it for the product quality, expert installation and lifetime warranty. Initial meeting/estimate was professional and informative. Plenty of follow up so I knew work was in progress. When product arrived, installation was scheduled in a timely manner and was completed quickly and professionally. I've used this company for replacement windows and replacement kitchen-garden window. The lifetime warranty is wonderful. They have responded quickly and made necessary repairs/replacement at no charge!! I would strongly recommend Home Fix for quality and service."

"I called multiple roofing vendors. Most would companies could not be bothered with considering doing a small job. While Walter Brown did not do the original install of my roof, but they definitely did not hesitate to offer to help. From Alicia who answered the phone to Tyler and Lisa who helped getting me on the schedule. Lisa, Tyler - thank you. If I need any type roofing services in the future, I will not hesitate to call Walter Brown. Thanks again."

"Do you have home projects and looking for a great company? We know of one called Power Home Remodeling! This company surprised us with the way the process works. When you talk about smooth, no worries, and no guess work, wondering what’s going on; Power stripped all of that away with professionalism throughout the process from the initial consultation through material delivery, project installation and financing were easy. We had a total of five projects that started in January and completed in April. Our first project was getting a new roof. The crew came and worked from 0730 and completed the job at 1430. They had a crew of about 6-9 guys working on the roof. They cleaned up the area as they found it. The second project was the attic. They put this solar eclipse covering in the attic that regulates heat. Instead of the attic being very hot in the summer it will keep the temperature moderate. We are very pleased with the work and look of the roof and attic. The third project were the gutters! Man, these gutters are much larger in diameter than the original ones. I do not worry about ice buildup. The fourth and fifth project was the Foyer entry door and Half-moon window. This crew came on April 8, 2019 around 0830 and completed the job at 1600 hrs. We are very pleased with each project that was done with professionalism. We are so, elated that POWER did the work and completed it in a timely manner that we reached out to them for another project putting new patio doors in with automated shade. We are looking forward to them completing this project as the others with professionalism, care and dedication. If you want a company that is STRESS FREE to do all your home remodeling desires go to [*** Link removed ***] You will be glad you did!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Churchville, MD

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.
