"Perfection Roofing & Siding replaced our siding and painted the exterior, including the trim and chimney. The price quoted was the best of several I checked, and they were able to start within a couple days. Russ personally showed me around nearby houses to see the quality of their work. From start to finish, it took only four days. The crews were professional, on time, and did great work! The same day the siding was installed, the painters started prepping and caulking, and they painted the next day. They worked long hours in 95+ degree weather. I recommend Perfection Roofing and Siding, and I would call them again for future work!"

"Anthony provided detailed information, the work was excellent and clean up was thorough. All work and clean up was completed in a day. We have had several downpours since the new roof was installed and have had no problems with leaks. I would highly recommend Anthony and Georgia Roofing Systems."

"They came out and fixed part of my roof. There were two guys who came out to do this. There was a nail missing where the new roof had been installed. They helped fixed a leak that was leaking into my home and was messing up my inside walls. Since they fixed the leak I have not had any issues since they have come out."

"Total Pro Roofing and sales associate Cory were outstanding. From the opening phone contact, true professionalism to completion of the work. Highly impressed with the workmanship, professional explanations, and response/work time. Truly, a great experience (which is important...because if you need a new roof, you are most likely stressed already). I fully endorse Total Pro Roofing... ask for Cory, you will not be disappointed."

"This really is a good company to use.  They are fair,  honest and don't skimp corners.
The attic job looks very professional,  lots of bracing.  The job looks professional as all the  cuts for the wood look correct to support the structure.  Cleaned up well.  I could not even tell they went thru the house to take all the lumber in the attic,  Job well done.
Roof was the same way.  Guys showed up when they were supposed to,  did what I would say is in excellent quality of work, finished on time and cleaned up the outside better than what it was before they started.
I was so impressed now I am having them do some work on the roof at my home.

"Very professional in bidding and executing the job. Kyle Morris on bidding and Josh Hunt on job oversight. Team of 11 replaced the old and installed 38 squares for the new roof in 7 hours. Good clean up and trash removal. Very efficient in all respects. Good communication throughout the process and everything done as promised. I could have found a cheaper bid but feel the quality materials and professional installation coupled with a long warranty justify the price. I highly recommend them."

"Deans Construction has gone the extra mile to make sure that everything was to our satisfaction. Chris, as well as his staff, especially Jamie, is conscientious and friendly. Chris responds very quickly to texts or calls. I always felt very comfortable leaving the workers at the house while we were at work. The workers have been punctual, courteous, polite, and efficient in every job that I have requested. ( I actually think I will miss seeing some of them.) Any concerns that I may have had were dealt with expediently.
I have already hired Deans Construction to do another job for me and would not hesitate to hire them again. The work was speedily done and beautifully executed. I have recommended Deans Construction to my daughter and son-in-law to do the renovations on their new home.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Franklin Springs, GA

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.
