"John came in today on a holiday day to check my roof. He is a very honest man. He told me my roof is still good for another two years, and doesn’t need any repairs at this time. I highly recommend him for any roofing projects. Thank you John!"

"I highly recommend this company. Communication was excellent, scheduling was timely, job was done as promised. I requested a free inspection, which was very thorough, inside the attic space, and on the roof itself, complete with pictures and video. Kyle, the roof expert, explained options for me, different materials, different prices. He also offered different payment suggestions, so I could choose what would work for me. The quality of the materials, the work, the efficiency, were all superior. Mike, the project manager on the actual day of the job, was very clear in communicating as well. I am extremely pleased with the work, and particularly with the people. Excellent!"

"First and foremost we choose Marquis Roofing for there excellent customer reviews. We were going to get 3 quotes from different companies, but after meeting Tom we knew we had the right company for the job. The roofing job was quite intricate to say the least, but Tom looked at it and figured out the best way to fix the leak. Knowing how difficult this job could be I asked Tom if he would be there to supervise, he said he would to ensure the job would be done well. That clinched the deal for my husband and I. I knew then Tom had high standards for his company and his customers. No further quotes were needed. Tom & his crew were very professional & hardworking. They finished the job in one day, wouldn't even know they were here. Everything was perfectly done from start to finish. I would highly recommend Marquis Roofing to anyone looking for an excellent company to work with. The price was very reasonable for the amount of work that was needed to complete the job. Tom has an excellent crew as well. They are very knowledgeable, with good workmanship qualities. Thanks to Tom & his crew for a job well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"FBI Contracting was the only firm willing to remove old decking, replace insulation in cathedral ceiling from above, install proper vent baffles, install metal shingles, custom form gutters. Frank and crew came every day until job was done. Compared to other roofers quoting only the shingle installation, FBI was very competitive. Cleanup was exceptional and the roof looks great! Multiple people walking or driving by have stopped and commented on the look of the roof."

"They are one of the only contractors left that do everything by hand. No nail guns. They had the work done in only one day. They showed up at seven in the morning. They laid down a tarp to catch all the debris. They were done by 3;30 in the afternoon. The foreman called me when they were done and came over to do a walk through with me. I got a warranty in the mail for the shingles and a 15 year warranty from the company. I am very pleased with the results."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in East-derry, NH

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.
