"Prompt and professional service, the crew were very friendly and polite, they completed the work as contracted in less than 4 hours. We had 3 beams and 9 jacks installed. They were careful to protect our hardwood floors and cleaned after installation. Our only criticism is the crew were not wearing masks and our door was frequently left open."

"Overall work included: architectural lifetime roof replacement, gutter & siding replacement, tree haul off, yard clean up, wooden fence repairs.. MHC Roofing made the process of getting a new roof so easy for me! The owner helped me through the insurance process and was quick to answer any questions with detail. I originally hired MHC to clean up my yard after three different storms. They were such good hard workers that I decided to hire them to take care of all repairs to my property. I now have a beautiful roof, house and yard. The office workers were very kind and attentive to my request. The crews were quick to get my roof and yard looking top notch! They were able to help me through the Insurance process with ease. I can say with confidence, "Hire Modern Home Concepts for your roofing and construction needs!""

"Went well, although every time I got a call, there was more bad news.  The wall had been leaking because a deck had not been installed properly.  There was no flashing, so all rain water was running inside the wall for years causing rotting and mold.  They took off upper deck boards and removed siding and framing to reveal the problem.  They built a temporary wall, as there was nothing holding the wall up, since the joists were rotted. The windows had to be removed, since everything was rotted.  All was replaced and the windows put back, as well as the siding and deck boards.  Wallboard was replaced inside the room and textured and painted and repairs made to the ceiling.
This was all happening after I had just had the whole downstairs painted. =(
Art Frewalt and his crew were very nice and worked to get the job done as quickly as possible.
I will definitely call on them again."

"Went very well, the crew showed up when they said they would and the repairs were made in a timely manner. I thought going through the insurance process (for the roof), would be a big hassle, but Nate walked me through every step of the process and made it very easy. There was minimal "leg work" on my part as he promised. I was also impressed with how well the crew cleaned up after themselves; construction workers are not known for their cleanliness, but Nate's crew did such a good job, I almost couldn't tell they had been there. I would definitely hire them again."

"Hernandez Brothers Roofing team performed an amazing job on my roof repair. This included a complete removal of old shingles, repairs to decking in multiple areas, installing new drip rail all the way around, new roof vents and painting of vent pipes.  The color for shingles were exactly what I requested. Simply Beautiful!  Team was also phonemonial in their cleanup...even cleaned light debris that fell on the porch and steps. One day was all they needed..They were very prompt on their arrival and show much attention to detail. They came with a plan of attack and the results were fantastic.  This Hernandez Brothers Roof team are true professionals that delivered a quality product. Thankful and greatful for their service.  I HIGHLY recommend them for you roofing needs.  Thanks Hernandez Brothers."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in College-station, AR

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.
