"The whole experience was good. The warranty is exceptional The customer service was nice and the guys that actually installed the roof were hard workers. There are only two issues I had. One, the initial consultation lasted 7 hours. Between discussions about the roof to the actual roof inspection. Second. The Forman on the job barely spoke English. There was a gap that had to be overcame for understanding my questions I had. Towards the end, he offered to call someone to translate but that, I felt, was too little to late. But like I stated earlier, the group as a whole worked very hard and the roof looks great."

"We paid upfront for that and then when they got here, they did a quick reseal job on a small portion of the roof. Then, they wanted another $200 on top of that to purchase a different kind of sealer that they said comes from California. We're in Las Vegas. I get up on the roof too. I may be an old guy, but I still get up and get around. Based on what they were going to do on top of what they already did for $299, we just told them, "You know what, we're going to pass." We decided not to use them again. I can do what they did very easily for a lot less. We just thought that they could come out and fix this leak. I think the leak is fixed now. But, they wanted another $200 to use the right kind of sealer on it, which they should have included in $299. They did just a quick sweep-up of leaves and pine needles. Then they resealed with a sealer that was a black sealer. This is kind of a flat roof in Las Vegas. They should have used something white that was more reflective of the sun and was really what they were asking us pay another $200 to use. In my opinion, they should have done that when they came out and did the first part of the project and they did not. We just decided we don't mind paying but we don't like having people tell us one thing and then they change it to something else once they get here. So we're not going to use them anymore. They were a little pricey for what they did."

"he was on time, very helpful, did the work, explained what he had done and gave me an estimate on having the heating ducts done later. (I asked for the estimate, but didn't have time to do it then) I will call them back to do it.

"Very good. The work was done quickly, professionally, before and after photographs were provided, they tested the roof by dousing it in water for 20" - with no leak (Yippee!). Very affordable and I have signed up for their annual maintenance service."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Henderson, NV

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.
