The crew was quick, professional, and did a great job with both installation and cleanup. The roof looks excellent and we haven?t had any issues since. Overall a great experience and we?d happily use them again!"

"not that great. basically paid $99 to get an estimate. included cleaning roof and minimal repairs. took a while to get appointment, and then when they came, they didn't even do the work! gave a really big estimate and then re-seheduled to have someone else do the work. they wouldn't totally replace the roof, gave different estimates to repair, I went with a different company to do a full roof rplacement."

"We had received estimates from several roofers with various recommendations and prices. My girlfriend referred me to Todd and said he was the best...and yes, he is! He came up to Mountain Center (not many will), reviewed the roof, explained in detail what he felt needed to be done. He had references with him and answered all our questions. We decided to go ahead. We belong to an HOA with strict rules and Todd took care of contacting them the same day, even though it took him 3 hours of constant calling to reach the right person. He filled out all the necessary paperwork and they approved the job. It took less than a week from that phone call to a completed job. He is extremely detailed and lets you know step by step progress. His crew is as dependable and professional as he is. Clean work done on time. We are extremely pleased with our new foam roof! Thank you Todd!"

"It went very well. 
I am restoring a Mid Century Modern home in La Habra, Ca. 
The origninal roof was installed in the 70s and appeared to have evidence of asbestos.  When the original quote was given-and before the contract was signed, Royal Roof provided a free asbestos test that turned out to be negative and reduced the financial burden by $1,000s. 
They removed the old roof and left it open while the air conditioning duct work, bathroom and kitchen vents were replaced and recessed lighting installed; that took about two weeks.
After the A.C. and electrical work was complete, the sheeting was delivered and installed, then the shingles arrived and were installed all within three days. The Building Inspector visited twice during processes and the whole job went without hitch. 
 
I met and communicated contanstantly with two of Royal's foreman; Rosalio (tear off) and Ruben (sheeting and install.) I always knew where we were in the process and what to expect.  I also had the owner's (Ron) cell phone and we spoke throughout the job too.
Royal was not the cheapest, but I received good advice on what extras would not pay off, I have a 50 year warranty, and no worries.  I recommend them.

"I cannot recommend SunEnegy highly enough. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Nicole was always there to answer the questions she could or find and answer for me for those she couldn't at any time, and always with a wonderful attitude. The installation team was extremely polite and neat, and when they found that my roof needed repairs, they found someone to fix it immediately at a reasonable price, and SunEnegry was able to incorporate the repairs into my monthly payments so I had no out of pocket expenses. However, the most surprising thing, was that when there was a misunderstanding on the financing. SunEnergy had every right to be assertive in their position and protect their profits, instead, they immediately decided to lose some of their earnings, and made sure that their customer was more than satisfied. It is difficult to find businesses entities nowadays that are truly customer focused, but SunEnergy is a shining example of a customer based company, all the staff was a pleasure to work with at all times. If you are thinking of going solar I highly recommend that you called them before making any commitments with any other company. Daniel A Roullier"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Desert Hot Springs, CA

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.
