"I can’t thank Rackley Roofing and Supply enough for the swift and quality job replacing my roof! Not only was David’s estimate honest and fair compared to the other quotes I received, but I was also able to replace the old shingles with architectural shingles which are more durable, visually appealing, and have a longer life. I would highly recommend calling David Rackley for all of your roofing needs. He was honest with all of my questions and dependable throughout the whole process. It was a pleasure to work with him!"

"I'm so grateful for L&L Roofing! Lucas is very respectful, trustworthy, and honest. His integrity shines through his work. As the owner of the company, he personally came to do the inspection, provided a very reasonable estimate, and managed the job onsite himself. He ensured my roof was installed correctly and in a timely manner. He even provided an incredible workmanship warranty, which is amazing in and of itself, but I know I won't even need it. Thank you so much!"

"From start to finish, this project was completely done with quality craftsmanship. The employees are very professional and attentive to my questions and needs. Once the installation was completed, they send a quality assurance manager to make sure everything was completed with perfection. Kit took his time and inspected every window. The crew showed up when they said they would and started immediately. I was very impressed with their work ethic and their ability to complete such a complex project in such a timely manner. I highly recommend this company for your house projects. I will be using them again and again!"

I started discussions with Crestmark in mid-April 2013, receiving an actual quote and invoice in mid-May. They performed the roof repair and it was completed by the end of June, with the work crew doing superior work. With the roof complete, there was approximately $8,000 worth of repairs remaining to be completed. When I had not heard from Crestmark by the second week in July, I attempted to contact them by email and phone but to no avail. I finally made contact by phone shortly into September (four months into our repairs!) and expressed such frustration with the owner that a representative emailed me that afternoon, promising to come by and estimate the materials needed for completion. A week later they came out and partially finished the chimney framing but left it unpainted and none of the facia or soffet work done. On September 19, I received an email from the same representative promising to "get a list of what needs to be finished tomorrow and we will get it done". I have not heard from Crestmark since (today is November 9, 2013) nor has any work been performed. While Crestmark Roofing promised much and their price was fair, the lack of communication and follow-up has negated what should have been a relatively easy success. 

UPDATE

 =======

On November 9, 2013, I provided Crestmark with advance notice of my Angie's List review to allow them an opportunity to responds and/or attempt to remediate our concerns. On November 21, 2013, I received an email stating they were ordering the remaining materials and would have the job completed within 2-3 weeks. However, I heard nothing else from my job representative into mid-January. On January 22, 2014, I contacted the Angie's List POC for Crestmark Roofing, Gary Yates. In contrast to my experiences with the prior representative, Mr. Yates was professional, responsive, and extremely disturbed over how the job had been handled. To his credit, he did not fain concern in an effort to win back business; instead, it appears he made a diligent effort to objectively investigate the status of our job and what led to our displeasure. Mr. Yates kept me informed throughout the 23rd, checking for additional information and clarifying points of confusion. On January 24, Mr. Yates and I met in person, where he apologized for the problems with this job and updated me on the results of his investigation. He assured me that this was an isolated incident involving one of his representatives and took full responsibility for the lack of communications and response. He cleared up several misconceptions concerning the repairs and in my view rescued the reputation of this company. Had I thought to contact Mr. Yates earlier, many if not all of these problems may have been averted.

"Greg was very informative and had pictures of the products available to replace my old roof. He matched the shingles to a more recent shed that was built which was great. Responds promptly to text and kept me informed through the entire process. The crew working on my roof were very polite, hard working and you’d never know they had been to my house. I love my new roof and would recommend Greg and his team to anyone who is looking to replace their roof and reasonably priced. I can’t thank you guys enough for an amazing job you did!!!"

"They were on time for the estimate and on time for the work that was performed. They removed my old shingles, tar paper, and vents and replaced them with new underlayment and GAF Timberline Shingles with new vents. The workers were efficient, knew what they were doing, worked extremely hard and long and did a great job. The project manager was on site much of the time and ready to answer any questions or respond to concerns. The new roof replaces one installed 19 years ago and the quality of the new roof greatly exceeds that of the previous roof. They cleaned up after they finished and did not destroy any flowers, shrubs, or plants. I would not hesitate to use them again."

"I needed a new roof on my house. The representative of this company, Austin Eure, was very efficient in helping me get the roof I needed for my home. He first checked out the roof then he returned to my home to be here with the inspector from my insurance company. Austin helped me with the paperwork I needed to fill out for my insurance company. He showed me the different roofing tiles I could choose. The following week, roofing tiles came to my home and a little while later, a dumpster arrived. Two days later, a crew came to install my roof. Before I knew it, blue tarp was around my house to collect the old tiles. A layer of black paper made it on my roof and soon the new roof tiles were being installed. Since it was done last month, December of 2020, the day ran out and the job still needed to be completed. Within a day, a couple of men came to finish the job. My yard was completely cleaned before these men left my property. They used a magnetic roller to collect the leftover nails from my lawn. The yard was raked and the driveway was swept in order to get all the nails picked up. Within a day of completing the job, someone came to get the dumpster. I would highly recommend Tru-Top Roofing for anyone considering getting a new roof."

"I had other estimates performed and the other 2 estimated an entire roof renovation which is coming our way. But Mr. Weaver confidently told me that he had them all beat before he even hit the driveway. His survey of the roof was similar to the others but he was the only one to say that it could be patched and if it were his roof he would do the same. He guaranteed that the repair would fix the problem of the leak and through hurricane Irma and the other storms that have come so far it has not leaked as promised. So instead of thousand of dollars Mr. Weaver charged less than $200 to hop up on the roof in the August heat and got it done himself."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Douglasville, GA

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.
