"Additional work was needed after this patio roof was found to have been only nailed to the main structure’s roof, not screwed. Allied identified the problem, quoted repair, completed the work, and checked and rechecked for quality. We are very satisfied with their attention, promptness, consideration, thoroughness, and professionalism."

"It was very good. My previous roofer (Coleman roofing) from 6 years ago did a poor job on part of the roof, so Genesis did a minor repair of it to extend the life for another 3 years or so. I was very happy with it. Sometime it was a little hard to get in touch with them, but for the price I'm totally fine with that!"

"Review of Garcia Roofing I live in Mandeville in a house that is approximately 30 years old. My roof was worn and I did my research before contacting Garcia Roofing for an assessment and, ultimately, a proposal to replace. The salesperson was a former roofing company owner and came to my house, climbed on the roof, then reported back to me his findings. He documented three areas of potential failure and also thought overall the roof could last another 2 years or so. I requested a proposal to change now, selected the products that I wanted and he presented me with a firm and written proposal. He also explained the process so I would know what to expect. Garcia Roofing did all that they committed to including keeping me informed of their backlog, delivery date for my materials and dumpster, and introduced me to the jobsite supervisor, Alberto Nunez. An 8-man crew arrived at 6:00 am sharp on the appointed date and went right to work. Alberto arrived soon after and we went over the job to be sure that we were on the same page. There was never any confusion. The crew, lead by Jesus, worked 12+ hour days for 3 consecutive days. They removed the old asphalt shingles, felt paper, nails and drip edge. Then they installed the new drip edge, the valley material and the underlayment. At the end of each day there was never any exposed bare plywood. Alberto visited 2-3 times each day and went on the roof to discuss with Jesus and his crew as well as inspect the surface. The crew only took brief “hydration breaks”, but never left the roof to do so. One man would bring-up a bucket of cold bottled drinks to distribute. By the middle of the third day, the roof shingles and ridge tiles were complete and they spent the next 5 hours cleaning my property. They had laid tarps wherever possible, but that is not perfect. There was a good bit of debris around my home and detached building. One man used a blower to first clear the roof and gutters of debris. Everyone participated in cleaning the grounds and they did a great job. They raked, swept, used magnets to pick-up nails and many of them were on their hands and knees plucking nails from the surface. Alberto returned the next day to make a final inspection and get the last payment. He inspected my attic to be sure there was nothing out of place. I am VERY pleased with the final outcome of my new roof. I have a written guarantee and a dependable roofing contractor I can now call if I ever need service. I want to thank Alberto Nunez for supervision and quality control. And, of course, I want thank Jesus and his team for their meticulous skill, their extraordinary work ethic in the high heat of summer and say that I was fortunate to have these good men on my job.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Darrow, LA

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.
