"We called adelphia roofing systems after we heard a very loud noise that shook our entire home, joe from adelphia roofing came out as scheduled we found out that a old tv satellite dish blew over and caused a small hole, what we did not know is that a large part of our roof blew up and off roof joe took photos and shared them with myself and my family, joe assured us he would have a crew come back and install a tarp temporarily until he and his company could come back to install our roof- although they were very busy he moved some customers around and fit us in 3 days later- all went well our roof is great and leak free thanks joe and adelphia Roofiing systems for a job well done"

"First and foremost, Premier were the only roofing company in the area to actually call me back when I had a leak. We decided to go ahead an replace the entire roof then and there. Their crew were absolutely amazing and efficient. They were timely and polite. We had some issues with communication over materials but Premier went out of their way to resolve them. One particular instance had the owner himself over to install a skylight blind. I would definitely recommend them."

"Fantastic. Multi-gable gutters for a larger home (4400sf). It’s amazing how such a small thing can make such a big difference. Ivan and his team were punctual, efficient and quality focused. One day project and when they left it was as if they were never here. Except the clean, seamless new gutters of course."

"The entire team made this consultation and planning easy and efficient. We did not feel pressured at all to buy everything, and they assisted with everything from roof repairs to tree removal for the future panels."

Mid install picture! Notice how the panels are bracketed in and not drilled into the roof individually. This is a common misconception when going solar. This isn't the 2000-2010's anymore! The installation process is much more efficient. If a panel goes bad for whatever reason, since it is bracketed in, it can be easily replaced. This installation also is on a brand new roof that we installed ourselves as well. The panels themselves add extra life to your shingles/roof. The panels act like a sh

If you are one of those people that don't like the "aesthetic" of the looks of the panels this view is for you. It is not visible from the road and you need a ladder to get a good glimpse of it. If you do like the "aesthetic" of the looks of the panels then how about this beauty! Plus we use tier 1 panels which guarantees a higher energy production which offsets the need for more panels to meet your ener

"Gary, was very helpful and pointed me on the right direction after I had discussed my concerns. Had he been able to help me I would have gladly hired him. My system ended up being under warranty and he suggested I contact the manufacture as to not void my warranty."

"After much research and several estimates I decided to hire Paragon Home Remodeling Grp. to redo my roof. They use a high quality product and are very reliable. There was a team of workers who worked endlessly for two and a half days. They kept me informed as to the progress and took pictures of areas that needed my attention. Seeing the great job that was getting done I requested to have other work done at the same time. I had four new 2 story pillars replaced and a new gutter system installed. There was never a sales push to get more work done and no rush for payment. I also have to say their price was very reasonable compared to estimates I received. Paragon will be my go to company when I need work done."

that needed to be performed, as well as a cost and time estimate to install these improvements. I appreciated being able to ask questions and have a positive and informed discussion about the issues. Dan is a very pleasant and knowledgeable "gentleman" who works very hard at explaining the tasks that needed to be performed. Dan is the one who made me believe in the Mark Group and it's ability to make these changes translate into energy savings.

When the work was scheduled to be performed, the installers were knowledgeable professionals, who showed up on time and worked long hours to get the work complete within the two date estimate.

The work was done with respect for my property and without undue interruptions. The installers were also very pleasant and informative.

Dave Condin was the final person who came to do quality control. He is an amazing and talented person. He is fun to talk with and seems to be the ultimate problem solver.

A week after the installation we are now facing a heat wave, and I can already see the benefits of this program. My house does not heat up because of the attic. The air conditioning runs less frequently, and the house seem far more comfortable.





The best part is that PEPCO agrees to a rebate off the cost of the installation. This makes the process and unbelievable bargain.

"We had plenty of opportunity to see the company in action. Our neighbor selected them to do a re-roof, followed by the neighbor next to them. We received a couple of bids from other companies that were substantially higher, saw the quality of materials and quick work done by EZ Management and decided to go with them. Recently, when a tree damaged our brand new roof (augh!), the company responded quickly to check it out and make a temporary repair. They'll be back soon to finish the repair.
We felt very good about the materials they used and the method of installation. The yard was cleaned up nicely after they were done.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Delaware City, DE

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.
