"The crew arrived at 8:30am. They put tarps over my foundation flowerbeds. by 9:00am, old roofing materials were being dropped onto the tarps. Some fo the workers bundled the shingles and hand-carried to the roof edge, refuse-trailer was parked. The old shingles were dropped into the refuse-trailer. By 10:30am, the tarps were rolled up and taken to the refuse-trailer in wheelbarrows so as not damage my front lawn's septic field. by 11:00am, workers were inspecting my yard for stray roofing, picking them up by hand. A large flatbed truck arrived by 11:35am, loaded with my new roofing materials. After the materials were off-loaded, the workers set up ladders, and hand-carried everything to the roof. After that was completed, a small generator was set up for air nailers, and they began installation of my new roof. By 4:00pm, they began the final cleanup. Trash was picked up and put into the refuse-trailer. By 5:00pm, the work was done. A last-minute inspection got rid of some leftover trash. The man leaf-blowing debris, even cleaned out my gutter! And before they took down all of the ladders, they even put my disconnected downspout back together! At 5:09pm, the refuse-trailer was covered, re-connected to the truck that brought it, and driven away. The roofing crew left at 5:25pm, but not before I thanked them. I told them how much I appreciated their hard work, and appreciated them taking time to re-connect my gutter's downspout as they completed their inspection of my yard."

"Everything went just fine. I had been looking for someone to do some repairs to a slate roof on my uncle’s house for months. Once I got in touch with Action Roofing, the job was taken care of. They were very prompt to look at the job and to do the job. I feel like the price was fair. I am talking with them for additional work."

"HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! We recently bought a new home and had roof damage from a storm. I called Carolina Trophy Roofs and spoke to the owner, George Pugh. He sent Adam, Carl, and Harley out the same day. They looked at the damage and placed tarps on different parts of the roof until we could get the roof installed. We filed a claim with our insurance and Carolina Trophy Roofs became our claim advocate. They went above and beyond educating us on what areas of the home would need work as well as things to look out for to prevent further damage. They replaced our roof, vents, some decking, and are currently working on our interior. They also made sure they get EVERY NAIL from out of our driveway and yard! When the exterior job was complete, Rusty made sure we were happy with the job. Needless to say, we are. We had a lot of roofers approach us about repairing and replacing our roof, but no one could match what Carolina Trophy Roofs offered. NO ONE! We couldn't be happier that we chose to work with Carolina Trophy Roofs. They are true professionals. We will be calling them for all future projects we have planned for our home. You should do the same!"

"After setting a start date Mr. Hargrove failed to show up and sent someone who we never met to pick up the installment pay. He was not knowledgeable about the job he was contracted to do. The railings were not installed correctly in fact it was a safety issue - if leaned on one could possibly knock it over. Called several times requesting him to repair, made false promises. To correct the problem we hired someone else to correct the job.

"ADS Roofing came in with lowest bid by far to replace our roof with high quality asphalt shingles with a lifetime warranty and even extended his warranty on craftmanship from 12 Years to 25 years. We're really glad we chose them as they were professional throughout the entire job. Our roof on this old Victorian house presented many challenges and they met them head-on with fairness. It was obvious that pleasing us was far more important than profiting from the extra work involved. We highly recommend ADS for all roofing and siding jobs."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Elizabeth City, NC

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.
