"BUYER BEWARE.... They will rob you and your insurance company, they are dishonest to the point they lied about doing business with us to have the review removed on top of destroying my plywood and trying to make me pay $2800 for it"

"STAY AWAY!!!! This Company cancelled the initial estimate on me 3 times making me drive 90 minutes to the property each time. They finally showed and gave me the typical hard sell "if you sign the contract today..." They gave us a quote so far over market value we should have walked away. But we agreed because of the "70 year history in the industry" We thought we were buying a service from a company with integrity. They took an immediate $18K deposit on a $55K project. I know, shame on me for agreeing to such an amount. We knew we were over spending, but... One month later, they simply cancelled the contract without explanation and without any work on the project. This contract was binding on us but, in their words, was not binding on them because "there's a clause in the fine print that allows them to cancel" THEY STILL HAVE OUR MONEY and I STILL NEED A ROOF Stay away from this company. No integrity No responsibility Unreliable Over priced Will take your money and keep it"

"We hired Unicorp to replace all our windows, doors, and siding—and the result has been an amazing transformation of the entire house. Not only was the work done to perfection, but the people we dealt with at every stage made the whole experience a pleasure. From the start, our sales rep Alex was informative and responsive, answering all our questions over several weeks—so that by the time we signed the contract, we were totally comfortable with the project design, and knew what to expect when work began. Paul was in charge of the window and door installation. He and his crew finished all the work in just two days, and kept the work areas clean as well. Everyone was friendly and courteous, and Paul himself was an unforgettable character. Window replacement can be an overwhelming job, since it involves every room in the house, but Paul made it fun with entertaining conversation. And he was an artist with the trim capping, making sure to match the style of our colonial house so that the windows would have definition instead of appearing flat. The windows and doors themselves are top-of-the-line quality. They instantly modernized the house, and because of the improved energy efficiency, our AC is able to maintain the house temperature so much better in the blazing hot summer. JR was in charge of the siding job and other finishing touches. His crew, Nam and Augustine, were incredibly talented and hardworking (even after driving four hours to our house each morning)! They completed the siding on our addition in just one day. The end result is stunning, and the insulated vinyl siding has made the addition much quieter and more comfortable. JR came up with creative solutions, like figuring out how to design the columns and header so that they’d fit in the tight spaces around our door. And he was always easy to reach by phone or text. There were a few issues with the materials delivered for the shutters and the door surround, which caused some delays toward the very end of the project. But JR was committed to making everything perfect, and he came back himself to do the final installation and painting. This was the largest renovation project we’ve ever undertaken, and Unicorp made it such a positive experience. We couldn’t be happier with our “new” house, and we look forward to calling them again, when it’s time for us to get a new roof!"

Heating cable for roof installations FAQs
A typical heat cable uses about 5 watts per foot, regardless of the outside temperature. So, if your cable is 100 feet long, it uses around 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.
Yes, you can install heat tape in your gutters to help melt ice and keep water flowing smoothly. The system is mounted securely above the gutter brackets so the tape warms the gutter surface and prevents ice buildup. Be sure to have a qualified professional install the heat tape using proper techniques and hardware to ensure optimal performance and protect your gutter system.
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.
Both heated gutters and roof heating cables prevent ice buildup, but your choice depends on your roof design and aesthetic goals. Heated gutters provide a discreet solution that maintains your home’s exterior appeal, while roof heating cables offer powerful, widespread ice melting. Consider the installation requirements and energy needs to determine which system fits your property best.
Yes, roof heating cables prevent ice dams by quickly melting accumulated snow and ice along your roof edge. They create a warm channel that allows water to drain freely, eliminating the conditions that cause ice dams. This active ice-melting system protects your roof structure and minimizes the risk of water damage during severe winter weather.
Roof heating cables last between two and 10 years, depending on environmental exposure and installation quality. They're designed to work effectively for a period influenced by factors like climate severity, cable type, and how well you maintain them. Regular inspections and proactive maintenance can extend their lifespan and ensure continuous roof protection throughout winter.
