"He comes and gives you a timeline for work. He helped and gave me a name and brand of roof shingle material that I could use when I hired another contractor to replace it. He also gave me recommendations of other companies that can help me with work."

"We’re currently remodeling two bathrooms under the same contract. The first bathroom is complete, and the second one just started this week. While their bid wasn’t the lowest we received, it felt fair and, in hindsight, definitely worth it. The project manager was an excellent communicator—knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and never pressured us to accept the offer. We’re extremely pleased with the quality of work on the first bathroom and are confident the second will turn out just as well. A tip for future clients: make sure you have all the necessary materials on hand. We did, and the team completed the bathroom ahead of schedule. The space is narrow, so the photo angles don’t do it justice, but I hope they still give a sense of the high-quality work delivered."

"I am an investor in the Spring area with multiple rental properties. After reviewing several bids for new roofs, I selected M&M Roofing for their fair pricing, detailed estimates & outstanding warranty. They provide a lifetime warranty for labor! I had the distinct pleasure of working with Mr. Rick Shelton of M&M Roofing. Rick is a seasoned professional who thrives on providing outstanding customer service and perfection for each roof installation. Every “I” is dotted & every ”t” is crossed with Rick. No stone was left unturned. He provided superior service which far exceeded my expectations. I had a dozen roofs which needed replacement. All of the homes were tenant occupied. Rick contacted every tenant to schedule the installation & thoroughly prepped each tenant on what to expect and how to prepare for the day of installation. If there was a weather issue, he was contacting the tenants with plenty of advanced noticed that the job would be rescheduled. He was onsite at every job from beginning to end. He thoroughly inspected every detail of the new roof and went into the attic to ensure installation was tight & secure around all vent openings. Throughout this process, I had many tenants contacting me praising Rick for his in-depth roofing knowledge, professionalism, clarity & perfection of the job installation. I can’t emphasize enough what a pleasure it was working with Rick. His level of constant communication was nothing short of 100%. He did an phenomenal job managing all the roofing projects from A to Z. If you are looking for a SUPERIOR roofing company with the BEST Roofing Manager, look no further than M&M Roofing & Siding, Inc. Rick Shelton earned Employee of the Decade! I would be more than happy to provide a verbal reference at anytime for this firm and the outstanding service they provided."

"Roof Services recently put a new roof on my house. It looks amazing and I am so very pleased! The job was completed in one day. From the start to the finish of this job, all the workers were very professional, worked hard, and it was apparent that they took pride in their workmanship. Justin, the supervisor on the job, was absolutely wonderful and patient with me as he thoroughly answered all of my questions. The workers did a great job of cleaning up after the roof was completed. They did not leave one piece of trash, shingle cuttings or nails in my driveway or yard. If you need a new roof, I highly recommend that you call Michael, owner of Roof Services. He is very honest and dependable and uses high quality materials which was very important to me. You will be very pleased just as I was."

"DAV Construction was hired to replace a damaged roof and gutters. They did a professional job of discussing the bid with me. However, this was more than a roofing job. I had an issue with water seeping through my second floor brick that continued to damage my interior and patio cover. We all thought it was a poor trim installation. Alex took a hard core position of helping me correct the problem. We had to repair any openings in the existing brick and applied a water sealant. I even had a phone call several months later after a heavy rain storm to see if we had any visible leaks. All was good and the extra effort was was high on the scale of taking care of the customer. I would personally recommend Alex and his team to anyone."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Hockley, TX

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.
