"Very pleased with the work Richard and his crew did. Richard went above and beyond to match the existing shingle and brought over several samples. Richard did an excellent job of explaining all work to be performed and followed through. Everything that he said happened. No unexpected costs and we paid what he quoted us. Highly recommend R&R for roof replacement!"

"Peak Roofing was amazing to work with! My roof replacement was a long process—nearly six months of back-and-forth with my insurance company—but Nik and Neil, the owners, were incredibly helpful every step of the way. I contacted 7 roofing companies—5 never showed, and of the 2 that did, Peak stood out immediately. They were professional, thorough, and genuinely helpful. They answered all my (MANY!) questions, provided a detailed estimate for my insurance, and kept communication open throughout the process. Once approved, Peak continued to impress. They confirmed the installation date, checked in the night before and morning of, and both Nik and Neil stopped by to ensure everything was running smoothly. Their crew was friendly, hard-working, and got the entire roof done in a day! Cleanup was so thorough you wouldn't know they were there. Nik and Neil truly understand customer service. If you need a reliable, professional roofer, Peak Roofing is the one to call! Highly recommend!"

"They were pretty good, but the quote they gave me was too high. However, it was a decent quote. They are the only vendor I contacted for a quote to get back with me. I had no problems with them. The people that contacted me from this company could have been a little better. They were not bad but it would have been better if I got a quicker response. Sometime it took a while to get back to me after I left them a message. It was more like email communication."

This is probably not your roof:
But, if your roof has damaged flashing, missing shingles, curling, blistering, buckling, rotting and algae growth (which appears as dark or greenish stains), you probably need a new roof.
If you’re roofer doesn’t talk about these, you’re talking to the wrong guy:

"   I contacted Lopco Contracting because they had a lot of good reviews on Angie's list and I needed some exterior painting done quickly (it's a long story). They were very responsive from the first - worked with me on getting what I needed done within a reasonable cost, kept contact throughout so I knew what was going on, and did a professional and flawless job. Their crew was polite, professional, and cleaned up after themselves. They also followed up with requests I made for additional paperwork to satisfy my lender (a condition of the loan was that peeling paint be repaired within 30 days). I graded them 'B' for the price because I believe I could have had it done cheaper - but certainly not better, and certainly not within the time constraints I gave them.
   I couldn't have asked for a better experience in getting this painting done.

"It went very well. He came out as promised and he did a great job removing all the alien material on the shingles of the roof. He also was helpful answering questions about the how and why things (lichens) got on the roof in the first place.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Glendale, RI

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.
