"Made appointment with Dale Shoemaker on Wednesday July 3 and appointment was made for Friday July 5..exceptionally surprised how easy it was to get an appointment that fast! Dale arrived on time Friday and immediately got to inspecting the roof, gutters, and specifically the 4 skylights that I had concerns about....provided a very detailed and thorough inspection report and discussed all details with me before leaving the home site!...could not have asked for a more professional service provider...exceptional"

"We had a pretty complicated roof. We had them cover 11 sky lights and fix the pitch on the roof in a couple of spots. They did a fabulous job and we highly recommend. Professional, reasonably priced...and fast!"

"Contractor left a large paint sprayer in our garage for 4 months while the house was rented by vacationing guests. (the house is a vacation rental home.)  I had to point out to contractor that they painted over a fungus that was growing on house siding, instead of properly cleaning/removing this prior to painting.  They painted over the lights on the exterior of the house instead of removing prior to painting. Contract stated that soffit vents were to be installed on both sides of the house.  Contractor only installed soffit vents on one side of the house and did not inform me of this.  I paid contractor in full ($14,258.00) and found out later that the soffit vents were not installed on both sides of house.  December 7, 2015, I informed contractor I wanted him to install the missing soffit vents and needed the roof warranty paperwork.  Contractor told me he would send me the paperwork for the roof warranty. We still have not received the roof warranty. Jan 6, 2016 he responded to my request saying he would install the missing soffit vents, he still has not completed the work.  I have not heard from him since and have not received the roof warranty.  His phone has been disconected, voice mailboxes are full on other phone lines he has. We have texted, emailed and called he refuses to return any form of contact.  We have been forced to contact the roofing supplier ourselves in an attempt to obtain our rightfull warranty. We are not sure if they will be able to link the contractor to our roof. Plus our contract included a 10 year warranty on the workmanship and the company won't even respond to our requests to just finish the job they were paid for. I can only imagine trying to get them to stand by their workmanship warranty.

"The Saunders arrived as scheduled for the initial quote inspection. Ken arrived on time, and did a thorough inspection and provided a line item quote. He personally picked up a the materials and delivered them to the job site the day before scheduled installation. He and his assistant arrived early the next day, promptly set up the work site and jumped right in. This was in the hottest part of August and I made them knock off by mid day to avoid heat stroke! Because of this it took an extra day to finish but when they we done I had a beautiful wood deck porch covered with a peaked roof that matched my roof perfectly. The construction was sound and thete were no 'shortcuts' taken. Ken, Brad, and Ken were professional, accurate and highly skilled. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I have several other projects in mind and they will be my contractors. Couldn't have asked for a better experience."

"Overall it went well. Mr. Davis returned my initial call within 1 day. He came out the next day to perform the estimate. He was almost 1 hour late for the estimate appointment due to difficulties with directions/ GPS. However he did call several times for directions and to keep me updated. Once on site he inspected the leak area and the exterior chimney enclosure and roof and identified the problem as deteriorated sealing at the top of the chimney. He provided a reasonable estimate and arranged to do the work the following day. The next day he arrived on time and completed the work for the agreed price. I'm happy with the service I received and hopefully won't see any further leaks.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Eden, 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.
