"Absolute integrity, professional and knowledgeable. Answered all questions, promptly calls back any phone inquiries. Not even a nail or screw found on grounds after they cleaned up debris. Roof installed in one day. Prior to my new roof being installed I had leaks caused by my solar panels. Corey was my initial contact; Michael was the job-site supervisor. They really listened while I expressed my concerns about the solar company ( which caused the leaks in my roof initially) again not sealing my roof adequately. Corey, who was aware of this through his initial inspection and showed us the pictures he took which detail this, offered and did, indeed, return after the solar panels were reinstalled on the new roof. Trust this company; when their job is over they are still willing to be available for whatever is needed."

"After getting five estimates I decided to choose Safe Trust Roofing. The project manager, Mike Stone, that visited my husband and I was very knowledgeable. He was very professional and offered the best products and warranties at a great price. He took his time and explained everything. The new GAF Timberline Roof with new gutters and leaders came out amazing. We also recieved a lifetime warranty to protect our investment. Everyone from the company including the installers were very professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone"

"The entire team made this consultation and planning easy and efficient. We did not feel pressured at all to buy everything, and they assisted with everything from roof repairs to tree removal for the future panels."

Mid install picture! Notice how the panels are bracketed in and not drilled into the roof individually. This is a common misconception when going solar. This isn't the 2000-2010's anymore! The installation process is much more efficient. If a panel goes bad for whatever reason, since it is bracketed in, it can be easily replaced. This installation also is on a brand new roof that we installed ourselves as well. The panels themselves add extra life to your shingles/roof. The panels act like a sh

If you are one of those people that don't like the "aesthetic" of the looks of the panels this view is for you. It is not visible from the road and you need a ladder to get a good glimpse of it. If you do like the "aesthetic" of the looks of the panels then how about this beauty! Plus we use tier 1 panels which guarantees a higher energy production which offsets the need for more panels to meet your ener

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Howell, NJ

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.
