"When my house in West Islip needed a new roof 11 years ago, I had the good fortune to call D&S Roofing in Deer Park, NY. Their estimate was in line with what I expected, and they explained everything that needed to be done as well as what might be uncovered. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable and personable. Except for the new roof you would not have known they were here. The grounds were spotless and the shrubs undisturbed. I recently had occasion to call them about a minor issue with a shingle, and they were here within the hour to address it. I couldn’t have asked for a better response. They also did the same quality of work at my daughter’s house in Bay Shore. Highly recommended."

"John (the contractor) handled our entire project from start to finish, and we couldn't be happier with the results. He added a full second floor to our Cape-style home, including three bedrooms, a laundry room, and a bathroom. Throughout the entire process, John was professional, easygoing, and incredibly responsive. His great attitude and clear communication made what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable and even enjoyable. He met all of our expectations and was always willing to make adjustments to the plans when needed—never hesitating to work with us to ensure the final product was exactly what we wanted. It was clear from the beginning that John’s priority was our satisfaction. In the end, John didn’t just build a house—he built a home for us, and we’re truly grateful."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Hempstead, NY

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.
