"My husband and I reached out to sunset roofing for an estimate on our roof, for a total tear off. Roman came out to do the estimate and answered all my questions showed us our options and went though everything. We contacted him a few days later to set up the job and he was out to help us with some minor details. From the very beginning he showed wonderful customer service and he was definitely a customer advocate, which really sold me to go with Sunset Roofing. He had us on the schedule very quickly, and the entire process took less then 2 weeks from getting the estimate to having the roof replaced. We are so happy with the work that was done and would highly recommend them. When searching for a new roof I would definitely consider at least getting an estimate from Sunset Roofing. Again thank you to Roman the Forman Aiden and the entire Sunset crew. - Brittany and Richard Turner"

"Trevor Brown was great at removing a hefty snow pack from my roof. He was able to get the job done within a day of my speaking with him. Very thorough and careful, checking in with me during the project to make sure any concerns were addressed. He did exactly what I needed, and cleaned up afterwards. Reasonable pricing, honest and diligent. I highly recommend Precision Renovations."

"Stellar Roofing is amazing! Every interaction with their employees was professional, laid back, & fun. Shayne, my sales rep, took 2 hours to look at the roof & the crawl space in my attic where the leak was and explain what was happening & the process of installing the new roof. Lorraine in customer service was very friendly & responsive (& a fellow dog lover who made sure there was a triple check that all nails were picked up)! The crew that installed the roof was on time, efficient, and respected my property. They did a great job cleaning up! Steve, the project manager, did a final inspection & made sure all extra materials were picked up the next day. I highly recommend Stellar Roofing!"

"Leahe Development came out the next day after calling them to give me an estimate on fixing the water leak. Once over here they noticed the lose floor tile and mold on the pipes, which were also asbestos. They gave me a quote for fixing the water leak and gave me recommendations on the mold and floor tile. I then asked them if I should have them test the asbestos and mold. They stated that there was no need to test the mold as it was obviously visible. The same was stated about the asbestos pipe wrap but that if I wanted I could have it tested. The floor tile was a 9x9 and they stated that it and the glue that holds it down were probably asbestos as well and to confirm that they were they would take samples and have it tested if I wanted. They are licensed in Asbestos Testing and removal as well as licensed in Mold testing and removal and assessment. I told them to go ahead and test for the floor tile and glue. Results came back in two days and they gave me a quote to remove the floor tile, glue and the asbestos wrap on the pipes (which had mold on them). They gave me the estimate the very next day which I thought was very fast and I appreciated their timeliness. I checked around with two more asbestos companies to get a quote and one never showed up and the other ones price for the same work was almost twice that of Leahe Development. I hired Leahe Development to do the work and when they were done I was glad I hired them as they were there every day from the day they arrived until the job was done. They picked up the area every day before they left and left the area much cleaner then when they started. They had me back together in seven days from the day they started the job. The workers were very friendly and courteous. I was and am happy I hired Leahe Development and would definitely recommend them to others."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Kendall, NY

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.
