"Kapili Roofing was very professional, showed up on time and had the whole project completed in a little less than two days. First we were given information on roofing materials and colors to choose from. However, after making our decision we were told that the material and color we had picked weren't available. That was concerning, but the next "step up" in quality of materials was offered at the original price, and the color choice (while not what we originally wanted) was actually quite nice. When the work started the workers were very careful to lay drop cloths around the house and tried to minimize dust and debris as much as possible - considering they were ripping off the whole roof of our house, this was much appreciated. All the workers were polite, courteous, punctual and extremely hard working. I believe they all worked about 11 hours the first day and by about 3 or 4 in the afternoon on the second day they were done! In addition to replacing the roof on the main house they also insulated and replaced the roof on a small, low ceiling addition. That room was super hot (because of the low ceiling) and now is much cooler thanks to the insulation and white materials they used on that roof. The staff was courteous and conscientious and even made sure that there were no nails or other roofing trash left around our house."

"Had a contractor that ended up doing more damage than you can imagine! My wife and I were devastated! Fired him and began looking for solutions to the botched 500 sq ft ceramic tile job. I found Kyle on Angies list. His reviews were great! I reached out to him and he responded back within 8 hrs. Set up an appointment to have him estimate the job. Upon meeting Kyle I immediately could tell he was personable, professional and competent! He did not mince words and was direct about the repair: The tile would need to be pulled up and reapplied..properly! After more conversation, my wife and I contracted Kyle and his team. Kyle really shared our pain and wanted to make our home whole again and restore our happiness. (It’s very hard to find that type of compassion these days) The job was finished in 3 days, quicker than expected! That included: complete demo of botched job, materials, hauling debris, prepping, installation and finishing. The result is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! My wife and I are extremely pleased with the craftsmanship of the install! Kyle and his son Malaki are true craftsman! VERY friendly, punctual, communicative, down to earth and business oriented! You can search for better but, I doubt you will receive the same service that Toa & Kyle’s Home Solutions offer! Chance em’! You won’t regret it! Worth every penny and some!"

"Provided estimates for Photo Voltaic panels for my house. The system was the most expensive that I looked at. The salesman was very damning of other competitors on the market. I could not find any problems with competitors systems even though I really tried. In the end his suppliers could not install a PV system on my roof because of the surrounding trees. I did like the salesman the best of all the people I talked to. The prepaid lease could have worked for me."

"Started on the day the was agreed and finished close to estimated completion date.  Weather provided a little problem not their fault.  Have had many compliments on the look of the roof and the metal even lowered my insurance.  Outstanding job, one of the few contractors I have used that didn't try to nickel and dime me for extras.  Very fair and professional"

"Great experience! The inspection/estimate went well and the agreed on cost seemed more than fair considering the amount of repairs that were needed. The work started within two-weeks. On the scheduled day the material and crew arrived early. The prep/work started right away. The repairs seemed extensive to me, but they must have a lot of experience because they replaced rafters and sheathing pretty quickly. The neighbors were impressed too...they commented on how quiet the worker were. The project took a full day (...and it was HOT!) and they ended by doing a walk-around to pick up any rubbish and debris. I was impressed with their professionalism and great work. I would definitely recommend IM Roofing!"

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Fort-shafter, HI

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.
