"Went great! Carlos and his helper arrived on time and began working immediately. Gutters look awesome and the warranty is a big selling point for me. Mike informed me of all the details of a roof installation should I decide to do one a later date and said the price would be the lower end because I did gutters first."

"Initially, we met with the owner for an estimate to replace our roof. He explained every aspect of the project and made suggestions for the types of materials that should be used. Next, we received a very detailed proposal for the project. After interviewing other companies, we choose this company. After our acceptance of their proposal, the roof and the gutter replacement commenced promptly on the scheduled date. The whole job was done in basically one day. The crew worked efficiently and we were very impressed with the workmanship. Also, our property was left in pristine condition. We would highly recommend this company. "

"I couldn’t be more satisfied with the work done by Robert Evans Jr. Contracting. The price was fair, the work was exceptional. The crew was obviously very experienced and was very meticulous about their work. The crew chief kept me informed of their progress, any issues they found and how they were addressed. They did an excellent job cleaning up the entire site before leaving. Within a couple of hours of my initial contact I had a date for a visit to review the project and provide an estimate. I received the estimate later that day by email and was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable quote and timing was only two weeks and that it would be a two day job. The crew arrived exactly two weeks later and at the end of the first day all of the original roof was stripped and 80% of the installation of the underlayment, shingles and trim was complete. They finished on day two, and after they finished the entire crew did a site walk around looking for anything they had missed. I would definitely recommend Robert Evans Jr. Contracting for all your roofing needs."

"The overall experience with John and Tom Bean and their crews was a pleasure.  From the thorough proposal including full explanation of what would be included, the process and start date to the final clean-up, it was a totally professional job.  The initial proposal came in mid-high compared to 2 other bids; there was only a little negotiation but assurances that what would be delivered would be well worth the investment.  I feel it definitely was.  The "removal" crew was fast, efficient and all business.  The installing crew, lead by Darren was fantastic and took great pride in their work.  They were very personable, respectful of "staying out of the way" as much as possible, happy to answer any questions and cleaned up daily.  Working with the quirkiness of a 250 year old home, cedar shingles and a lot of copper flashing has to be a difficult job; the end result looks fantastic.  We live on a busy street and have received a ton of rave reviews from friends and even strangers walking down the sidewalk.  We wrestled with the added cost of keeping the traditional cedar versus architectural  shingles but we're very pleased with our decision and to have had John Bean Roofing as our service provider.  I highly recommend them.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in East Weymouth, MA

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.
