"I’ve used dan with infinity roofing for a number of years. They replaced the shingles on my Florida home and now put a new metal roof on my highlands home. I’m very happy with the professionalism and quality of work that was done. I even had to get a roof inspection after the roof was replaced for my home owners insurance, and they told me that everything was done not only correctly but it was the best done and best looking roof out of the 20 he inspected that week. So I’m very satisfied with the work done by them. I strongly recommend dan and his team."

"Job was delayed but once it got underway, it was completed as promised. We found Handyman Xpress to be very reputable and are very pleased with the work. The ceilings are beautiful! We did experience some difficulty getting in touch with Eric at times but for us it was ok because we were not in a urgent situation. We found that he would contact us when he became available so learned to be patient and wait for him. Since we are seasonal residents, it is important to us to have a company we can rely on to provide all sorts of services. We found Handyman Xpress to be this type of company and will hire again in the future for other needs."

"Were extremely happy with the entire process.  We were given a timetable for when the work was to begin and when it was to be completed and, except for a couple of unavoidable rain delays, the work went right sccording to schedule.  The quality of the work was excellent, and we were very satisfied with the crew as well as James Brougham, our contact from the company.  Should we need another roof - and the idea is that we never will (!) - we would definitely use these folks again.

"We are very happy with FJ Painting. They came in and prepped everything so well that did not have to clean up after they finished. Painting looks fabulous and drywall repair was just what we wanted. We had a ceiling repair that occurred from a problematic sheetrock install. Sal did a wonderful job and was meticulous in his work. We will certainly use this team again."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Highlands, NC

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.
