I called him in January and despite the anticipated tariffs, he was able to come really close to last year's quote. Today, the crew came and I was surprised at how quickly they were able to accomplish the job. I even had one neighbor comment that they were surprised at how quick the crew was able to do the job. Leading up to today, I had 2 separate people tell me that they've only heard good things about Dave Miner. I'm happy to add to his positive reviews."

Home & Hearth Remodeling and Restoration is a licensed, insured and registered Home Improvement Contractor in the Springfield/Hartford area. Our 6-person team of conscientious craftsmen handles most of the work directly and, when called for, we have other highly-competent colleagues available for staffing projects that require other specialized licenses, training or skills (e.g., HVAC, electrical, fine woodworking, etc.) We believe that vertical integration on a project -- which is a fancy way of saying that we put the trim and paint on the walls we finish and build ourselves -- results in better finished work without finger-pointing between subcontractors. We have worked hard to successfully cultivate a reputation for being honest, hard-working service people who care about what we do. We are motivated by making living environments better, be that by making rooms bigger, tighter, newer or simply nicer. We love the variety in our work as general remodelers. One week it's a deck, another a garage or family room addition, or a kitchen or simply replacing windows. Once we work for you, we will be your "go-to" guys for anything having to do with your home or property -- even when we can't provide the service required, we'll still introduce you to someone you can rely on. We accept all major credit cards as well!

"Dave and his team were extremely professional, attentive to detail, friendly, and responsive to our needs. Our deck is a thing of BEAUTY! Our neighbors and guests have all given it highest praise. It has almost doubled our living space. We would hire Dave and his team again in a heartbeat."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Hatfield, MA

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.
