"Just had my 30 year old roof replaced though it never leaked and looked fairly good; it was installed by Jack C Wilson the first time and for a three tab to last that long without a single problem is more than enough to use them for my new roof. The new roof crew was great; one time, courteous, professional and fast. The roof was 90% finished in one day and completely installed and the site cleaned by then next afternoon. They even put drip edge and flashing around my cupola that was not originally quoted without charging an extra fee. Wonderful folks both roofers and admin staff in the office. Everyone was down to earth, polite and professional. If they are around in 30 years, I'll use them again!"

"Avenue Roofing Review If you are in or around Jacksonville, FL and you find that you need your roof repaired – use Avenue Roofing! I have truly never, ever, worked with a more professional, competent, and thorough company!! SHORT VERSION: Everyone at Avenue Roofing – Devon, Jessica, and Marc – that I interacted with was truly outstanding and highly responsive. I believe that I am very demanding and have high expectations when it comes to work like this. Avenue Roofing continually exceeded my expectation throughout the entire project. With their help and guidance, we were able to navigate all the obstacles and unique aspects of replacing the damaged roof. If it had not been for Avenue Roofing, the insurance company would have paid to have 25 shingles replaced on the house. With Avenue Roofing’s advice and recommendations, the roofs on both the house and the detached shed were completely replaced – the cost of which was paid for by the insurance policy. And, by the way, this was also done long distance from Ohio and Texas! What more could you ask for? Avenue Roofing was there for us ever step of the way. Through emails, texts and even a Zoom video call, they kept us fully informed and provided numerous pictures of the project during all phases. When it comes to customer service, Avenue Roofing 5-star rating should be at least a 10! So, as I said – if you need roofing repair work – make Avenue Roofing your first and only call. They will get the job done right, in a timely and professional manner. If you want to know why I am so emphatic about my assessment of this company and its personnel, grab yourself a cup a coffee and read the long version of this review. LONG VERSION: Background – My older sister (aka Florida-sister) owns a home in Jacksonville, FL. Due to some medical issues, she has now moved from her home to an assisted living facility. My younger sister has Power of Attorney for her, but she lives in Ohio (aka Ohio-sister). I am the “highly unpaid” technical/financial advisor for both of them, and I live in Texas. So far, so good? Situation - In early February of this year, a neighbor in Jacksonville, called my Ohio-sister and told her that he had seen some shingles on the ground around my Florida-sister’s home. Ohio-sister called me, and I started looking for a local company that could help us fix the roof. Based on my online review of roofing companies in Jacksonville, I found Avenue Roofing. Reviews on their web site were impressive, and being retired Air Force, I liked the idea that the company was veteran owned. I called Avenue Roofing and explained the situation. From that point on, I knew I was working with professionals that had our best interests at heart. Although, I thought they would just bill us for some minor roofing repair, they convinced me to file a claim with the insurance company, which we did. Insurance Company - As impressed as we are with Avenue Roofing, we have been totally disappointed in the insurance company. It took them two attempts over multiple weeks to actually get someone to inspect the roof. Avenue Roofing was there during the first appointment which the insurance inspector cancelled after the time he was supposed to be on site, and they were also present when the second inspector showed up the following week. It might be of interest to someone looking to have their roof repaired that Avenue Roofing did this at no cost and with no contract in place! The insurance inspector filed his report, and the desk adjustor for the insurance company called me about two weeks after the claim had been filed. His assessment of the repairs was to replace 25 shingles on the house and 3 shingles on the shed. He then transferred the costs of these repairs to Florida-sister’s bank account and was ready to close the claim. Avenue Roofing Comes to the Rescue - When I explained what had happened to Devon Gray, president of Avenue Roofing, he recommended that we immediately request a second inspection. I really didn’t think that it would help but following his advice (highly recommended), I made the call to the insurance company. When I asked about scheduling a second inspection, the agent asked if I had any information about the damages from Avenue Roofing because he had no report/pictures from their inspector to reference. Once again, the professionalism and thoroughness of Avenue Roofing came through – I immediately sent him a 90-page report that Avenue Roofing had assembled for the roof inspection conducted in concert with the insurance company’s inspector. Suffice it to say, the insurance company had a change of heart. With no other information than what Avenue Roofing provided in their report, the insurance company re-evaluated the claim and decided that both the house and the shed required a new roof. Go figure! You would think that this is where the saga might end --- nope, read on! Long-Distance Paperwork - It turns out that the state of Florida requires a notarized signature from the homeowner to allow a new roof to be installed on a dwelling. Well, how do you do that if the attorney of record (Ohio-sister) lives in Ohio? No worry, Avenue Roofing was able to put together a Zoom video call with a local notary and through the magic of the internet, we were able to get the necessary notarized signatures so that work could begin. Through the scheduling, preparation, installation and clean up, Avenue Roofing kept us fully informed as to the status of the job, including pictures. Project Complete – Approximately two months after reporting the missing shingles to the insurance company, we have received the final report from Avenue Roofing which includes the Paid in Full Final Invoice, the 5 Year Labor Warranty, and the GAF System Plus Manufacturer's Warranty for the shingles. With the advice and guidance that Avenue provided during this entire process, we went from getting 25 shingles replaced to having the house and shed entirely reroofed. Oh, and by the way, while Avenue Roofing was removing the old shingles, they discovered over 17 pieces of rotten wood which had to be replaced in the process -- none of which would have been detected if only 25 shingles had been replaced. Again, what more could you ask for? If you think of something, I am sure that Devon, Jessica, and Marc will make it happen! Dr. Joseph A. Morgan, ‘80 Professor Emeritus, Texas A&M University"

"They were responsive to my request for a quote, provided a quote for an optional replacement I asked about, and the prices were very reasonable. There was a slight delay in providing the service but those happen. A crew of 3 performed the cleaning and repairs, they were on-time, were professional, did a good job, and cleaned-up afterwards. Thanks Guys! I’ll definitely use them again in the future!"

"I recently contacted Wofford Roofing and explained the repair I needed. They showed up promptly the next day and made the repairs requested by my insurance company. Most roofing companies aren't interested in making a repair, they only want to replace your roof, so it was nice to work with a local company who didn't push something that wasn't needed. I would definitely use Wofford again and when the time comes to replace my roof, they'll be at the top of my list."

"We recently reached out to multiple roofing companies for quotes to replace our roof. Greg Luebbe was our contact at Angie Roofing. We were impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. Greg walked us through everything we would need to know and took the time to answer all our questions. He also took the time to explain the process of reporting our claim to the insurance company. We now have insurance approval and going to set up an appointment with Angi Roofing to install our roof. I would recommend Greg Luebbe and Angi Roofing for anyone need a professional and responsive company to work with."

"Just to start off, I have been looking into Solar Energy for sometime but had not found any providers I felt confident with. After my initial conversation with SunPro representatives, I was put very much at ease as I found their knowledge of the current state of the industry well above the competition. They were very thorough in providing the specifications of the equipment and the install procedure. I was even able to go online and investigate the equipment and configuration used in the installation.Fast forward to the day of installation. They were in by 8:00 am and out by 2:00 pm. They were able to accommodate my schedule with no issues. The on-site guys were great. You cannot even see the panels from the street. A+ on curb appeal.They handled all the paperwork from the temp loan company, the utility company (less than two weeks to actual power conversion), to the tax form information. They answered every question and email I sent out within 24 hours.Add on instant access to daily power consumption and reports to help interpreting the utility bills. I don't think you can ask for much more.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Jacksonville, FL

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.
