"I contacted 5 roofers including Above The Rest Roofing. They all told me I had a pitch of less than a 2 on 12 and had no choice but a flat roof application for my roof. Kelly at Above The Rest roofing told me I could have any roof I want because her technician who came to measure my roof reported back to Kelly that it was a 2 on 12 pitch. I told her I was confused as to why she was the only roofer who measured a 2 on 12. She then came to my house personally to measure and she said I definitely have a 2 on 12 pitch. I was so confused as to why all 4 other roofers disagreed with her. Kelly then sent another person in the area that she has trust in and he reported back that I had a 2 on 12 pitch. I was so confused because the other 4 roofers told me 2 on 12 pitch. Two of those roofers have been in business for more than 35 years. Finally Kelly wrote a letter and made some calls to the Miami Dade County Building and Compliance Dept. explaining the situation and they sent an inspector from the Trade Inspectors Section out to my house to measure my roof. I was here when he measured and I was thrilled beyond belief when after he measured the pitch on my roof he looked at me and said "you have a 2 on 12 pitch roof. You can put any roof application on that you desire." Kelly had the confidence in her knowledge of roofing to be tenacious and not give up on my project. She knew I was very confused and found a solution to the problem which gave me the reassurance I needed to trust in her and commit to signing on with her to do my new roof. I am so happy. You can not imagine how confused I was. I have signed a contract with Above The Rest Roofing to install insulation and a beautiful new grey tile roof sometime in the next month as I travel for business and want to be here when the work is taking place. Kelly always returns my calls and everyone who has come to the house or I deal with on the phone has been polite, well informed, helpful and punctual. I highly recommend Above the Rest Roofing. I will fill out another Experience Report when the job is complete and the roof has been installed."

"Terrific right from the start. Great first impression, and Michael was very professional. Michael had a lot of good ideas that really made the project pop. I feel like he made recommendations like he was painting his own home. Responded quickly with a quote and was able to start in a couple of weeks. The entire interior was painted from walls, ceiling and doors. Michael actually installed 6 new interior doors for us. The quality of the work exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend 5 Star Painting and we give him a 6 Stars rating."

"Positive: Quality I work for a Real Estate Investment Company & we've been using Travis for a while now. They are easy to work with and they understand the right way to deliver common issues with out freaking any one out and losing a good deal over minor things and small easy repairs, their prices are reasonable, and they get you your report right away. Highly recommended. Keep up the good work!"

"The windows are beautiful! It’s so nice to be able to see out the windows and to be able to open & close them (the previous windows were jalousies from 1959). They also replaced the front doors of each unit because they were installed incorrectly by a different company (they opened “in” instead of “out” which is not hurricane impact protection correct). The workers were professional, hard working, courteous & respectful and did a very good job!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Everglades City, FL

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.
