"Chase from Excel Renovation was great to work with regarding our residential garage roof leak. He was very personable and there was excellent/ professional communication in talking through the potential issue and then scheduling a time to meet. Chase ended up starting with a simpler repair approach first, re-fastening and re-sealing a roof flashing, which we agreed was the right thing to do for our type of roof leak (very small leak) and for this cold time of year (late Nov). He was very honest in what he thought was the likely issue and digging deeper right away in our case, instead of just resealing and testing first, may cause more harm than good. He would not take any money for the repair…I tried though. :-) He said to keep an eye on it during the upcoming rain and snow melt(s) and he could always dig deeper if needed in the spring, removing interior sheetrock and then applying water with a hose over suspected area on the roof. If you’re looking for an honest company that won’t steer you wrong, give these guys a call. I highly recommend this company and I would definitely work with them again!"

"J & B Roofing did an excellent job from start to finish. All of the employees were very conscious and knowledgeable about the products used, and the installation process. They went above and beyond our requirements for the job. The plumbing & heating vents were painted to match the roof color. The entire job site was thoroughly cleaned up, and all trash removed."

"This is an update to a previous review done a few days before this. Told Dixson's that we had a concern about the work specified in the estimate to clean our gutters, and the work that had been done. We were originally given a price quote about double the standard cost because our gutters have cover grates that would have to be loosened to clean the gutters. The crew that had come out opened the grates over the downspouts and used leaf blowers from the roof to clean the gutters. They had not opened all the grates to clean. Dixon's got back in touch with us and apologized for a couple of snaf foos with the job. Crew was out on Saturday to do the work, we got a notice that next Tuesday that the crew would be out on Wednesday. A bit of left hand, right hand issues. Also took another look at the size of the job and the relatively small amount of work that was really required (given the small number of feet of gutters) and offered to reduce the amount billed for the service. It was an agreeable amount and accepted the new billing and thanked them for contacting us and working things out. This changes our overall rating of their company to an "A". They got back to us quickly and were very willing to 'make it right' so that we were a happy customer. Accomplished."

"It went great. Actually I thought my chimney was leaking, but the technician did a little more checking and noticed a slow leak from my hot water heater. I was very happy with the work he did. He gave me lots of information, answered a my questions and left the work area nice and clean."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Marine On Saint Croix, MN

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.
