"We received multiple bids to have our roof replaced on an insurance claim. Buckeye State Roofing stood apart from the others, their estimate came with zero pressure and their pitch focused on the quality of workmanship and customer care that Buckeye State Roofing provide. Buckeye State Roofing delivered on their promise with a top quality roof installation that was on-time, on budget and zero hassle. Last minute material changes were resolved with clear communication and consideration for our needs as a customer. Brent’s crew was top-notch, very respectful and performed an immaculate cleanup throughout the job, including cleaning neighboring yards where debris was carried by the wind. There are many options for repairing or replacing a roof but Buckeye State Roofing is at the top of my list and should be on yours as well."

"We replaced our roof with Pioneer Roofing. This job required the removal of our prior roof. They did an expert job - we are extremely pleased with the look and function of our new roof!!! This winter we experienced some heavy winds, snows, rains and differing temperatures. Our new roof (which included new ventilation soffits) helped keep the temperature of our older home warmer through the winter and even reduce our gas heating bill. I would seek Pioneer Roofing for work in the future."

"Bottom line: I'm using 40% less gas heating than before the insulation.
A & J gave me the best price. I was impressed with the thorough way in which Jerry put together the estimate.
I also qualified for a rebate from Columbia Gas. Jerry helped guide me with questions concerning the rebate process.
If your roof has wide eaves like I have, Jerry doesn't make holes in your walls that you will have to repair. He blows the insulation into the wall from above. They put a tube all the way down between the wall studs and begin filling and compacting from the bottom. This may not be possible in newer homes that were built with fire breaks in the walls.
Under the windows they did have to drill through the mortar in the brick wall to get a hose in, and the way they patch that up it isn't noticeable at all.
The crew are polite and friendly and hardworking.
I've monitored my energy usage via my programmable thermostat and I'm running the furnace 40% less than before the work that Jerry did.
I'm a happy camper. I can't say anything bad about A & J.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Elyria, OH

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.
