"Hamdan Quality Roofing was able to provide a great product at a very good price point. Other companies are potentially 1.5x or 2x the price. They can provide a good price because they are family owned/operated, they own a metal roll forming machine where other may not, and they make their own fittings (z-bar, ridge cap, w-valley channel, end caps, etc). It is very important to understand the differences in what you get with metal roofing products as there are so many variations and they are transparent about the different products. They can quote agricultural panels (exposed fastener panels), shingles, and standing seam (concealed fastener). I went with a 24-gauge metal standing seam (concealed fastener). They were able to put it right overtop of the first layer of shingles (with a synthetic barrier) which some other contractors may or may not quote it that way. They own their own metal roofing roll forming machine (Englert Machinery - model FP1101), they purchased large rolls of metal from CMG metals, and they had a metal bending machine in their trailer to bend their fittings (ridge cap, z-bar, w-valley flashings, drip edge, eave end cap, ect). The panels were made on site which was cool to watch. They installed S-5 Colorgard snow bars. Some hiccups with the permitting but it was approved by the township after the township dropped the ball on a couple things. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to install a metal standing seam roof."

"We are very happy with Jason and Sweet-It’s fixed. We hired them to install a new bathroom in our basement and it turned out great. From boring old extra storage room to completely finished turn key full bathroom we are happy with the project. Jason was very responsive to all communications (email, text, call) and communicated well throughout the project. Pricing was fair and reasonable, and timeliness to complete the project great. Jason exceeded our expectations and we would hire him again for the next project."

"His name is Mel Yoder. I got him from Angie's List. I had gotten ten names from Angie's List. I had them all come out and give an estimate. Mel Yoder was the only one that got up on the roof and walked the entire length of the roof. He discovered that we had shingles coming off and wind damage. The handyman that I had used for years passed away in January. He couldn’t do the roof because of his heart condition. He had given me an estimate of what he thought it should cost for labor and materials. Mel Yoder was right within that price. Everybody else was $3000-$4000 higher. They did an excellent job cleaning up. They did an excellent job overall. I was very impressed. The price was very reasonable. One of the first questions the insurance guy that has our house insurance asked me was if any of the roofers I had come out actually got up on the roof. I said only one. There were some that brought ladders out. I have a front porch roof that's a little lower than a two story house. They would get up on the porch roof and that was it, but they didn’t get up on the roof itself. Mel Yoder did, and he walked the whole length of the roof. He even came inside. I showed him a place where I thought there was a leak in the laundry room. We have a duplex upstairs. He was very thorough. I liked the idea that Mel Yoder and some of the other ones printed up estimates and sent them. I wanted to get him to do my kitchen since I had used him for the roof because he does do home improvement. But they are so lined up; he was three months down the line. That's why I went with another company. Mel is good at what he does, and he stayed booked. He was upfront about giving me options and what would be the best pricewise. I really appreciated that. I would definitely recommend Mel Yoder for doing the roof. For the two chimneys that needed re-servicing, he did an excellent job. I was very happy with the job he did especially the clean-up. They were very thorough in doing the clean-up. I was impressed with that."

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Holgate, OH

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.
