Customers say: True professional

"We had a great experience working with this contractor. He did an excellent job on both our roof and deck. The roof needed a full replacement, including all new plywood since the existing wood was completely worn out, and everything was handled thoroughly and professionally. He also rebuilt our deck from the ground up using Trex decking because the base of the previous wood deck had rotted out. The transformation is incredible. It looks absolutely beautiful and feels solid and well-built. The team was professional, hardworking, and paid attention to detail throughout the entire project. We are very happy with the results and would definitely recommend them."

"I called the top two rated Angie's List companies in my area of Brooklyn and both responded. Topline quickly viewed my home and sent me a bid along with additional suggestions. I asked for and received another manufacturer's white vinyl shake siding and it was a perfect siding match (the original siding company is out of business). The second company was difficult to reach, but eventually responded, but with a bid a few hundred dollars more than Topline. I selected Topline and they arrived exactly on time on the day they said they would. They worked quickly and neatly, removing my old siding and installing to perfection my new siding and corner posts. They swept up completely and also cleaned out the debris in my gutters. The work crew (3 men) worked quickly and were very polite. During the early stages of the work the owner showed up to observe how his crew was performing. Very professional. In the end, it was an excellent job at a fair price. I recommend."

"as I was contacting companies to fix my roof leak, I contacted Tri-Boro Roofing.  Carmine called me back the same day I left a message, and we had a prolonged conversation about it.  More of a Q & A, Carmine drilled down in my problem and identified a couple of likely issues that should be identified.  He also told me that one of them (replacing the scupper box (which he explained to me what it was)) would need a scaffold hanging off the back of the building.  And, he didn't have a license for one, so he said he wasn't the best choice for the job.  So he recommended someone else!  (Fort Cica).  A guy willing to take that time, and be that honest - I'm impressed.

"They were very hard working, efficient, and thorough and i would highly recommend Nick, and his faithful crew of workers including Sean, and Chris. They were careful to not make a mess and to clean up the work areas, and they made sure they tested everything. They obtained permits for us for the extra back den stove and chimney pipe. I would highly recommend this company for fireplace, stove and chimney work!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Crompond, NY

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.
