"NW Gutter Guards are just wonderful. I had a problem area with clogged gutters last year. Andrew came and put the gutter guards in that area and to run heated wire on the north side of the home to prevent those lovely icicles that used to appear in the winter. I wish I had the entire house done at that time as this year, 2 more problem areas came up. Carson and Teavin completed the rest of the home in October.. All three were very professional, quick to complete the job and left the place spotless. No more climbing up ladders to unclog gutters. Yay! Awesome friendly crew and a great product from the company. I would not hesitate to recommend."

"I so wish we would have had the same experience with this company as the other reviewers. Our 6 year old roof was totaled by the hail storm this summer and instead of using one of the "storm chaser" companies who knocked on the door, I wanted to use a local company. What a mistake in choosing Rhino Roofing! The roof looks awful - all wavy, shingles not laying down, etc. Our 2 month old roof looks like a 30 year old roof that needs to be replaced. Plus, they broke the siding in several areas and roofed over rotted facia without saying anything. Brian, the owner, is by far the worst business person I've ever dealt with when it comes to customer service. DO NOT hire Rhino - find a better company!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Florence, MT

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.
