"Pfeifer Roofing is courteous, professional and prompt. They provided a free evaluation of my roof, showed samples of the products they use and pamphlets for their policies and products. The free estimate provided various options for next steps. The installation foreman and crew itself were thorough and communicated with me multiple times during the four-day install, sharing their noticings while working and asking me for my input and preferences. They worked hard to clean up after each day, and the final result is amazing. I certainly recommend their service."

"I am very happy that I chose Jose Bayardo and his brother Thomas to install my new roof and skylights. The work was very well done. Jose took the time to explain their approach, what they found as they removed the previous roof (cement tiles), and what they would accomplish each day. They worked with me on placement of the skylights (I changed my mind a few times). And the interior finish work (dry wall and texturing) was very well done. I highly recommend Jose J Bayardo Roofing."

"C & C Roofing guaranteed us no leaks and even promised to come back out if the leak continued anytime within the next few months after their repairs. We are pretty much through the rough weather season and that was not necessary as everything seems to have been taken care of properly on the first visit."

"After a winter storm blew the top off of our attic fan we called several roof contractors to see if we could get it patched up to prevent water leaking in. Gibson was the only company that called us back. Josh Gibson came by and, free of charge, looked over the roof for other damage, and used a plastic sack and duct tape to do a temporary patch until we could get the whole roof re-shingled. We had another contractor in mind to re-do the roof; one that we had used in the past for our rentals. But Josh really wanted our business. He's only 19, but don't be concerned about his youth, he grew up on roofs and has more experience than people ten years his senior. We had Josh give us an estimate, and got an estimate from our other contractor. Gibson's bid was $4k lower, so it was an easy decision, especially since Josh was so easy to work with and so enthusiastic. The work is finished now and we're very satisfied. Gibson Roofing kept their promises, showed up when they said they would, did the work quickly and effectively, finished on time, and cleaned up the site. We would strongly recommend Josh Gibson, and Gibson Roofing for any roofing jobs you might have."

"Dimitri arrived on time and gave me an idea as to how long it would take . The job took essentially the time allotted and the roof looks great plus the clean-up around the house was more than adequate , I have every intention to hire Dimitri for future roof cleaning ."

"I received around 10 quotes for my roof. As a former carpenter I knew what I was looking for. I was happy with the quote but more impressed with the install team. Those guys worked hard and I am confident they did the work right. All I needed. Installing a roof isn't rocket science. You just have to follow certain principles which these guys did."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Happy Valley, OR

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.
