"3 Son’s Siding & Gutters LLC did my roof about four months ago.They came and gave me a price that was more than fair…3 Son’s were very professional,work very safely.They stripped two layers, found that they had to get plywood and replace the whole roof, it was a bit more but they did the plywood, re-shingled the roof in the one day.i was very impressed with the way all the workers did what needed to be done. The job was done in a day and a half,all the mess was picked up went around the house with magnets picking up all the nails.All I can say I believe they are very professional, very concerned about how my property was left I think it was cleaner than when they started.Very good crew did a great job couldn’t be any happier. Great crew very professional!!!! Thanks for all your hard work.Al Couture Southwick Mass."

"Roger keeps a consistent crew who is courteous caring and very thorough. They do a good job while communicating concerns and never left the job in a precarious spot even with weather concerns around. In areas where they believed building deficiencies existed they performed the upgrade with not effect on job cost. We would certainly recommend Thermalfit and will be using them again in a few years when we do the roof."

"The crew of 6 did a great job! Everyone worked as a team from the start of the job until they finished. The job was done in one day stripping two roofs, replacing some plywood and install new roof. The crew did a fine job with the clean up at the end of day."

"It looked okay. The only thing is when they took out of the shades they installed it backwards so it is still installed backwards. Other than that, everything was fine. The windows looked good, but the only thing was it was installed backwards. My husband called and we never heard back from them."

"I recommend to hire David for all your roofing and window needs because David pays attention to detail and is very efficient. Dave and helper arrived at 9:00 am and took out the old window (I broke one of the small old ones because it landed on my finger) and replaced the picture window, two small windows next to the picture. Dave replaced the inside trimming and insulated underneath the windows. In addition, Dave replaced my roof one year ago and the roof is great. Thank you, Dave."

"Charles and his crew did an awesome job. They were prompt and professional. They cleaned up and took the time to explain everything they did and why. Their knowledge of R values and how to properly insulate for best results is second to none. Top Notch installed both blown in insulation and rolled in insulation in my attic. Part of my attic had exposed floor joists. They build a walkway so I could easily access the unfinished portion of my attic. They offered advise and guidance for additional projects. They were flexible with my schedule and were able to squeeze me in so my other projects would not fall behind. Charles and his team sincerely have the customers best interest at heart and genuinely care about the quality of work they do. I had a pleasurable experience working with the Top Notch Team and would highly recommend them. Thank you Charles for all your hard work and I look forward to working with you again. Sincerely Amanda"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Milldale, CT

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.
