""Smith and Ramirez" did an excellent job on my roof replacement. Prior to hiring them, they provided me with a pic and address portfolio of work they had previously performed within the El Paso, TX area. This allowed me to go look at finished jobs as a representation of their workmanship and to help decide on the color scheme I was looking for. A bonus was that I was able to get testimonials from the homeowners as well. They took the burden of working with my insurance off my hands to get approvals for additional work, finished the job on time and within the budget they estimated. Would most assuredly recommend Tye and Alex, co-owners of "Smith and Ramirez" to anyone needing a professional roof replacement job!"

"Danny with Lifetime Roofing & Construction has a very professional crew. They were in and out in one day so we didn't have to deal with many disruptions or any loud noises. They did great. I'd recommend them for any roofing, remodeling, or construction job you have."

"They did a great job of cleaning the roof and applying the Gaco. They found some wet spots in the foam, cut it away and repaired the areas at no extra charge. They had done stucco work for me before and did a great job. In the future, I will call them again for roofing or stucco work. They do good quality work and are the best contractor to use for this kind of work. The reason I gave them a B rating rather than an A for the overall work, is because they could have done a better job of cleaning up and following up on details. For example, we agreed they would have our satellite TV working at the end of everyday when they had to move the dish to work under it. I had to call after the workers had left and had them come back to fix the dish. I had to call them several times to come back to clean up. They were always good about coming back, but I should not of had to call them. The foreman and project manager should of had the crew do these tasks without me pointing them out to them. Overall I was happy with the work and would hire them again."

"It went great! They were very quick to respond and get me on the schedule. Before the repair, they showed care and concern for my home by going above and beyond in preventative work. At no cost, he put a tarp over my roof to prevent leaking when a storm was coming. He also was very communicative with my insurance company to ensure the job was done in full and correctly. I would highly recommend him."

"Henry did an excellent job with my roof that was damaged during a severe hail storm. Everything from the initial quote to the completion of the project was done exactly as he had promised. He’s very punctual and communicated with us each step of the way. He also finished the job right on time which was rarely the case in other contractors I had hired previously. I also hired him a second time to redo my fireplace and he also did an excellent job. You can tell he really takes pride in his work and goes the extra mile to make his clients happy. Highly recommended!!!"

"I spoke with Marcos about needing a roof after having some wind damage. He did an inspection along with the roofer that the insurance company sent out to inspect. I had T lock roof tiles and as missing a couple. Since those aren't made anymore I needed a new roof and it was also 12 years old so it was time for a replacement.



Marcos had his team out there within a week or so from the time I got the initial check from the insurance company. He asked what color shingles I wanted and then his men went to work.  He mentioned the housing around the swamp cooler looked bad and would need replacing and told me what it would cost and I gave him the go ahead.



Today is Tuesday and they finished a couple hours ago. My roof looks nice and have already had compliments from the neighbors and listened to the problems they had with their roofs. His team cleaned up everything and swept up everything and didn't leave a mess behind. I have a 5 year warranty and am a very happy customer. If you are looking for someone that will listen to what you want and deliver on their word then look no further.



Also his website (which isn't finished yet) has a very good mission and vision statement which he upholds.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Las Cruces, NM

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.
