"The contract session was with Stephan Boyer. He was very through and informative. We knew exactly what we were getting and what to expect. Chris Renda and his crew showed up as promised. They showed up with all materials and immediately started work. The crew took no breaks and barely took time for lunch.. Chris Renda kept us infomed of everything going on.He found that our dormers had not been wrapped or waterproofed so he removed all the siding and began wrapping and waterproofing the dormers for us! The crew took 5 days of hard nonstop work installing our beautiful new patina green metal roof. We are completely satisfied! !

"Just wow! I could not have hired a better crew. Our house looks amazing. They did such a great job at a reasonable cost, the neighbors hired them too. I can't say enough about these talented guys. They showed up on time, were very professional. They used Behr stain that is warrantied for 25 years. It looks gorgeous.

I look forward to hiring this crew again for future projects. They went above and beyond all expectations. Highly recommend this company.

"The work crew arrived on time, and, over approximately 3 days, removed the old roof, replaced damaged decking, replaced flashing, and put down deck felt, and repaired a damaged soffit.  The new roofing was the style and color I requested.  What I was equally impressed with was the clean up!

"I met the owner, Benji, in June after a small fire in my home that occurred back in February. The first restoration company that we used had to be fired because they did absolutely nothing for 3 moths. Benji was a God send, he promised that he could restore my home to its condition prior to the fire as well as the majority of the renovation/remodeling and act as my general contractor. I hired Advanced Quality Constructor for the job in June 2022. The framing jobs that he performed were all excellent with the exception of the one of the beams in the kitchen that was apparently cut during the demo but it was the beam of a load bearing wall so that needs to be fixed. The demo and framing that was done in the attic conversion also looked good. The issues started in areas where he didn't have or use the correct tools to do the job. The Master bathroom demo and renovation took almost (3) months for just 1 bathroom and once it was completed and inspected it was not done to my satisfaction. Due to using a circular saw instead of a table saw none of the cuts of a bathroom with tile for floor to ceiling were cut correctly. Each tile has very noticeable rugged ridges. Because of the continuous starting and stopping over the 3 months roughly 75% of the tile is either uneven or visibly crooked. The grouting is incomplete and was never even cleaned off. In the tile shower you can see indentations from each of the individual floor tiles grids. All of the edges of the tile will need some type of trim or crown molding to hide the rugged cuts. The bathroom vanity is a floating vanity and if you lean on it it moves like its about to fall off the wall, it's being held up by pieces of wood behind it that you can see because it wasn't mounted to a stud. He tiled the entire wall and then went back to mount the vanity. It's only been a month and the caulk is already beginning to crack. The shower head is leaking and running down the wall when you turn on the shower so I'm concerned that the leak is also happening behind the wall. My plumber said that it likely is and that I should remove the tile to double check. The hand shower does not work because he used an old handset from a different fixture instead of the one that came with the showered that I purchase. The wall mounted plumbing fixtures purchased for the standing tub are crooked and need to be taken out and redone. The door trim around master bath linen closet was removed and never replaced so now theres absolutely no trim around the door and there a piece of tile that was never cut that hangs about a foot and would prevent a door from being able to be closed anyway. The tile around all electrical wall switches is so unevenly cut that you can't use separate covers. I ordered jumbo size covers from Amazon that I'm hoping will work. The hot/cold faucets on the double sink are installed in the wrong direction so hot is on the right, cold is on the left, and they're faced inward instead of outward. Theres piles of lumber that was left, feet of sawdust that was never swept up, trashed lumber in my driveway that could have simply been put inside of the dumpster instead of leaving it around the dumpster. I also purchased a table saw that I was to be reimbursed for. The most hurtful thing is that I paid in advance for work that was never performed."

"In August 2012 this company installed four supports in the crawl space of a 100 year old home. This was necessary to replace support lost when the fireplaces were removed. We had them come back this year, May 2013, to install steel posts on the first floor directly above the previously installed supports. The steel posts carried the additional support upward and fixed the support of a header that was previously installed incorrectly by someone else. Besides fixing the supports for the header, they also repositioned it and beefed it up. This company works with you to come up with the best solution without going overboard. They don't try to oversell you, listen to what the homeowner wants, and work within your budget. This home has been gutted and is a work in progress. They are willing to break things down into smaller tasks and work with you. Ken Pohlman, the salesman and estimator for our area is great to work with. We will definitely be having them do more work as our budget allows. We have worked with two different crews and both were excellent. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced. We didn't realize we could request a crew but will do so in the future. I don't remember the names of the first crew but this crew was Steve Johnson and Matt Pierce. We will request them next time.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Fruithurst, AL

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.
