"Olivers from start to finish. Fair pricing, communication, any time I had a question oliver was quick to respond. I have never worked with a contractor where it went so seamlessly from start to finish. We had a surprise that you could not see until roof was torn off. They took care of it & rebuilt my roof, They were so fair in the added costs. His team is polite, clean & hard working. The roof is beautiful, my neighbors are in awe of the quality of work Oliver's did. We will be using them for other upcoming projects. If I could give 10 stars I would. Olivers is so fair in his pricing, customer service is top notch."

"I live in a four plex where the roof was replaced. The crew could not have been kinder or more accomodating. I have to walk with a cane & I'm not too mobile some days. They made sure all the pathways were clear of wastes, nails and debris. Even stopping from their lunch break to make sure I was able to walk safely on the side walk. And it was not just one crew person, but all of them were so nice, respectful & curtious. Could not recommend them highly enough!!"

"Valley Brothers is a very professional and thorough crew they took the time to do the job correctly and fixed the issues that the original builders failed to do correctly. Understood the difference between paint for color and paint for the first line of defense from the harsh oregon coast storms. They took the time to do the job right very professional crew and would definitely refer them and use them for all future projects. Thanks valley Brothers!"

"We had a 33-year old cedar shake roof on our home in need of replacement and had dragged our feet about replacing it with a less flammable modern roof.  We were nervous about how it would change the look of our home, a gambrel style redwood home with multiple dormers and pitches.  We chose Owens-Corning Woodmoor shingles after years of looking.  We had 5 different roofers come out to bid the job.  The prices ranged wildly.  We chose Church/Jerry's Roofing for three main reasons: The price was among the lowest.Gerrin asked us many more questions and gave us more options about the understructure of the roof; others only asked about the particular shingles we wanted.Gerrin is an active community volunteer and the company gives back to the local community, an important factor for us. The roofers, Derrick and Clay, worked hard and meticulously, performing quality work.  They were interested in our feedback and pleasant to have around (though having people climbing over your roof for a week is still awkward).  Each day they cleaned up the area well before leaving.  Our roof is steep with many "cut ins" and they did very nice work.  There was one incident when the workers had one idea how to finish off a dormer that we didn't like at all and they had to tear it off and redo it, which they did and which looks wonderful now. Gerrin came back afterwards to inspect the roof (we appreciated this!) and brought our bill.  No surprises in the bill and we paid the estimate we had received before. We're surprised actually that we love the new roof!  I was prepared to not like it, having loved the look of the cedar shakes."

"The entire process went very well. They kept me in the loop the entire time. The install went flawless. They were here when they said they would. They were professional. Most of all they help make sure you get all the incentives you qualify for and include a 25 year warranty on everything including labor. I would deff recommend NW Energy Group to whoever is looking into getting solar!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Eugene, OR

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.
