"Greg was very informative and had pictures of the products available to replace my old roof. He matched the shingles to a more recent shed that was built which was great. Responds promptly to text and kept me informed through the entire process. The crew working on my roof were very polite, hard working and you’d never know they had been to my house. I love my new roof and would recommend Greg and his team to anyone who is looking to replace their roof and reasonably priced. I can’t thank you guys enough for an amazing job you did!!!"

"Rep. checked entire system. He found several wires not connected properly and fixed this. He also made recommendations regarding the attachment of the panels to the rood that would provide more stability and leakproofing. The representative appeared to know what he was doing - much better than others, including the representative who was engaged by the roofer (who replaced our rood due to hail damage) to disconnect/connect the panels."

"The representative viewed the spot on the ceiling to determine the approximate location of the leak on the exterior roof. Using his ladder, he walked the roof area briefly, came down and explained that the roof was showing significant signs of wear indicating the roof was probably beyond it life-cycle (20 years). Having owned the house for the past 20 years, I knew the roof was now approximately 22 years old. He indicated water appeared to be getting under the shingles in the valley on the roof. He pointed to signs of and quot;cuppingand quot; of the shingles as signs of end-of-life of the shingles.
I was quoted a price for repair of the roof. They would remove a section of the shingles and install new shingles where it was believed to be leaking. He also gave me a guesstimate on replacement of the roof on the main house (less the connecting carport that had been added within the last 10 years) with architectural shingles that have a 30 year warranty. I received a written estimate for the repairs. He pointed out that due to the age of the roof, if I chose to repair the leak area only, I could be faced with another leak and replacement.
I was underwhelmed with the professionalism of the quote. He did not measure anything and pointing to areas on the roof did not reassure me of the condition of the roof. His experience likely contributed to his confidence in his quote but it did not convince me.
I got a second estimate from another company who honestly stated they could repair just the apparent leak in the roof valley but they could not warranty such repairs. The competitor took pictures of the roof and was able to show me actually broken shingles and damage. The competitor's price quote was for the same 30 years shingles to replace the entire roof including the carport and was over $1,000 less. I got more for less.
Sorry, Advantage did not make the sale for roofing.

"We did not pay for it, it was provided by the person who was selling the home at the time. The quality was fine but the timeliness of the repair was not. It needed a new condenser and this company is country wide so they have one depot for parts. It took a week for the part to come from out west from us and we were in a heat wave and I liked to died. But because we had the home warranty, we were stuck. They covered it 100 percent but they were slow. They came as soon as they decided they would come. They came but it was not real fast. The worker was fine. It took about eight days for them to complete the job. They should get the parts here more quickly so they can do the repair quickly."

"Everything was great! We lost our shop and part of our home several yrs ago to a house fire. We called Mr Greenway and he sprung into action immediately to see that everything was handled correctly. From the beginning till the keys were handed to us, he was more than willing to go out of his way for us. He explained each step of the construction process and made sure that we were happy with the way things were done. He was on time, efficient, and professional while very courteous. Have also used them @ our property in Fla. We would and have recommended him to other home owners. Even through the stress of the fire they put my mind at ease while giving me the kitchen I'd always dreamed of. Great job Brandon & Mrs. Greenway!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Leary, GA

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.
