"During the inspection and bidding process Manuel Hernandez was very clear in explaining the process of what and how the work would be done and the standards that they were going to meet during the large roofing project. Tom Galloway was also very pleasant to work with over the phone. A very nice guy to deal with and also very clear and concise in his explanations of options and company ethics and standards to be provided. The work crew showed up early every morning and worked long hard hours to complete the job. They were courteous and very hard working and cleaned up the work space when finished. I would definitely call on Tom Galloway and Manuel Hernandez for my roofing needs again."

"Compared to the other 7 roofers I had come out to bid on a new roof, the New Heights representative (Nate) was the only one to go up on my steep roof to document evidence of wind damage. He then worked with my insurance company until they agreed to pay for the entire roof."

Like for being polite and friendly, personable and professional, very skilled, knowledgeable, efficient, thorough, punctual, and finished with a good site cleanup. All at a price that can't be beat. I plan to hire them again and would recommend A and S Roofing and Construction."

"I believe North Star Roofing and Construction changed ownership sometime in the last few years or there are two companies with the same name, or something else is going on. I Googled Russ Oja who I always dealt with and found him on Linked In as the former owner. I looked on the Land I site
https://secure.lni.wa.gov/verify/Detail.aspx?UBI=602086881and LIC=NORTHSR994KUand SAW=
and found that Russ' license lapsed on 6/10/2012. So the North Star Roofing and Construction company that I dealt with is no more. Furthermore I see no North Star Roofing in Seattle listed on the Land I site.
I am writing this because Angie's List asked for a review. I'm not sure what I clicked or wrote that made them aware of my prior use of North Star. The North Star I used was addressed on Mukilteo Speedway in Lynwood. The North Star that Angie's List has prompted me to review is at 815 1st Ave in Seattle.

"Everything was great. From the opening bid to the final inspection, Luigi was timely, careful, and clear. There was some rot in the boards under the removed roof, and Luigi documented the whole process with good photos. At the end of the work, the site was cleaned up well. All in all, Stay Dry Solutions did a great and fairly priced job for us!"

"I actually worked for this company and was extremely happy with completion of jobs before staging had to begin. Everything was completed quickly and communication was extremely easy! I have also done consultations regarding previous projects, and they’ve always been a pleasure to work with. Hoping to do more business with them in the future."

"John Wayne was very pleasant, friendly and trustworthy as well as very knowledgeable of roofing. He was on time, worked quickly and did an excellent job. He cleaned up everything before leaving so there was nothing we had to do. His price was really fair and we would hire him again. We now have his name on our contact list for future needs or to give him referrals."

"Prompt contact and set appointment within 2 days. Jason was knowledgeable and efficient, and went beyond the contract to set and caulk nail heads, fireplace chase, and even swept the roof! This company does all contracting services in addition to roofing, so they will be a valuable resource going forward."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Four Lakes, WA

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.
