"Power Home Remodeling company is delightful to do business with them. From the door knocker, through completion, all personnel were professional and personable. Chris, sales person, was patient and very knowledgeable. The price was better than what we had seen from another company two years ago. Gene/Jean, JPC, installation manager, and his entire team were efficient, fast, very clean, organized and professional. Jose joined the team later in the day to do all the inside calking and to help the team in any other area. Not many home remodeling projects even have a separate person for quality control. Kit, quality control manager, was very professional and personable and informative. He gave additional pointers on cleaning and maintaining the windows. He was very very thorough in inspection, and additionally climbed into the attic to examine the insulation there. Overall, a very pleasant experience…"

"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!!!"

"We can't say enough good things about Chris Thaxton and his crew. We had hail and wind damage and needed a replacement roof. Chris did his own inspection first. Then he met with the claims adjuster and made sure they saw all of the damage. He showed up for every appointment on time. He and his crew arrived promptly, worked meticulously, and cleaned up well. The new roof looks better than the old one ever did. Overall, they did a great job and we would definitely go to him first if we need more work done."

"Excellent. Started on January 26th and expected to take 2+ days. Arrived at house at 7;30 am and began removing old shingles. New shingles and associated materials arrived by 8:00 am. On site was a Project Manager who has the GAF Factory-Certified Master Elite Roofing Certification, a Foreman and one roofing crew. The temperature was in the low 40s and around 10:00 am it began to drizzle. The Project Manager proceeded to bring in a second roofing crew to expedite the work. Under very adverse weather conditions on a very steep roof, work continued until 7:00 pm when it became too dark to safely work on the roof. By this time the new roof was approximately 98% complete. The next morning, one crew returned to complete the roof and thoroughly clean up the worksite. I found the workmanship and work ethic by everyone on site very impressive.

"Devon and Casey were great, came out and took some measurements and were back within a few days to put the caps on. Unfortunately, the measurements were a bit off for one of the caps and they had to remanufacture it before they could install it. The guys were really awesome and came out on a Saturday so that the cap was installed before Tropical Storm Irma came through. They also took pictures of the installation so that I could see the work they did. Unfortunately for me, I found a few leaks along the chimney, post storm and at first I was concerned that maybe the flashing was damaged during the pan installation. Steve and the guys listen to my concerns and came back out to reinspect everything, which I really appreciated. They were completely willing to step up and take responsibility. Bad news for me was that the flashing wasn't properly sealed around the metal roof, Good news for them was that they did everything right. I would totally recommend these guys and if I have any more chimney needs, they'll be the first I call."

"I had 25 LG solar panels installed by Sunpro this year and they did a fantastic job. The communication was great and the install crew was very professional. It's been awesome watching our electric bill go down!"

"Pro Roofing and Siding did a fantastic job repairing and replacing siding, replacing gutters, and painting the exterior of my entire house. They showed up on time and worked tirelessly to make my home look awesome! They cleaned up after and left my yard looking just as it did when they started. Cory and Hafid were there every step of the way to answer questions and make sure the job was done right! I highly recommend this amazing company! I would hire them again! Thank you Pro Roofing and Siding for making my home look new again!!!!"

"For my roof replacement I had to go with the “Home Team” on this one. It was a no brainer. Home Team Roof did an exceptional job on replacing my roof. They showed up on time with a very professional crew members who were very friendly if I ever had any questions. They were done in the time they said they were going to be done. Price was VERY reasonable! I would suggest Home Team Roofing to anyone!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Mcdonough, 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.
