"The process up to the QA Inspection was excellent. People were friendly and knowledgeable. Austin was excellent at giving honest answers to all our questions. When I asked him one he couldn’t answer he didn’t try to BS his way through, he simply said he didn’t know and then proceeded to make calls until he got an answer. At the Pre-install inspection we were told the install crew would arrive between 8-10. The install crew chief was very surprised to hear that when he arrived at 7. The installation was also excellent. Done and dusted by 4PM. The QA inspection cost you an excellent rating. It was little more than a high pressure sales pitch to replace my aluminum siding with vinyl. I just spent $20K on a new roof and he pressured us to spend another $40K on something that doesn’t need to be replaced. Not cool. I would definitely recommend Power, but with a caveat on the QA inspection."

"The roof and new gutters are excellent. I'm glad I got them done now instead of waiting until more problems. The managers on site have all been very friendly and helpful and the crews worked hard in the heat every day. Thank you for your hard work."

"I would say it went extremely well.  They were very, very nice to deal with.  We ended up not going with them but we liked them very much.  They were very friendly ad down to earth.  They spent a lot of time with us.  The price was very competitive.  He sort of works alone, sometimes he has a helper.  We just felt the job was a little too big for him.  Then we ended up having someone else come in that said we didn't need a new roof so we didn't do it at all."

"I called in at first and they were responsive over the phone and we set a appointment
Dan came over at exactly 9AM on the appointment date and provided me a estimate (they give a discount to Angie's list customers) Dan was polite and professional and took time to describe the work and materials. 
I had another company lined up for a different product,they did not show up or even call on the agreed upon visit, they sent me a estimate in the mail, never called and must have visited my house w/o me around. 
Dan called a few days later to follow up and I went with his proposal.
The tech arrived on time for the work, was personable, did a great job and cleaned up.
I highly recommend Gutter Pros

"Excellent work, service, price!! All Exteriors was 1 of 5 companies I contacted for a quote. Bill came and walked roof, explained material options, addressed all my concerns with various leakpoints I’d discovered upon moving into my home. He communicated promptly regarding scheduling, his crew was great, they worked efficiently to complete my roof same day. They cleaned up all the materials upon completion and showed me at different points how they addressed the pre-existing damage/leaks. I will definitely use All Exteriors again. In fact, planning to hire for exterior wall of home that also has extensive water damage (from roof problem). Unfortunate to have this going on with newly purchased home but having a reliable, competent contractor makes a huge difference."

"After I contacted Anthony at George's Painting I was called back quickly and arranged for an estimate for the replacement of some rotted trim and the painting and sealing of the new trim on my townhome in Frederick, MD
The estimate was reasonable and I set up a date for the work to be completed.  Due to some weather issues, the date for completion was changed.  On the rescheduled date the crew showed up and quickly got to work.  Very quickly it was determined that I had a rather large hole in the peak of the roof, near some of the rotted trim.  A photo was taken for me and the owner, Anthony, called me to tell me that while the men there couldn't repair the hole, they would temporarily patch it.  I then arranged to get a quote from him for the repair of the hole and replacement of some shingles that were missing or loose.
Anthony got back with me in about a week with the new quote (given the holiday, that seemed fair to me), which again seemed reasonable.  Again, the weather intervened and we moved the roof repair date several times, but ultimately warmer weather arrived and they just now finished the roof repair.
It was done competently and quickly, with Anthony coming by at the end to make sure I was happy with the work.
I will be calling them later this year for some more trim work on the house and possibly a full roof replacement.  I would recommend them to anyone that wants quick, competent and friendly service.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Georgetown, MD

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.
