"He did a real good job of cleaning up. He has a helper and he always works with him. He does not put him on the job and come back and check later. He did a good job and he was supposed to give me an estimate on repairing of the wall. He was honest and hardworking and that is why i went with me. I am concerned about matching colors on my roof and he paid details to that. My brother said however they had not fill up a couple of ports on the roof. He thought they over looked it other than that he did a good job."

"I called in at first and they were responsive over the phone and we set a appointment
Dan came over at exactly 9AM on the appointment date and provided me a estimate (they give a discount to Angie's list customers) Dan was polite and professional and took time to describe the work and materials. 
I had another company lined up for a different product,they did not show up or even call on the agreed upon visit, they sent me a estimate in the mail, never called and must have visited my house w/o me around. 
Dan called a few days later to follow up and I went with his proposal.
The tech arrived on time for the work, was personable, did a great job and cleaned up.
I highly recommend Gutter Pros

"Bill (owner) was very responsive from my first call for an estimate all the way throughout the job. His crew manager (Jerry) also kept us updated and answered our questions. All of the crew were polite and hard workers. The new roof looks great and they left everything neat & clean everyday. We can highly recommend All Exteriors."

"Overall, George's Painting does quality work at a reasonable price and they are able to start projects very quickly. They were also flexible on start date. So if those are your priorities, I would definitely use them.
However, be prepared to communicate largely by text and often have significant delays in hearing back from Anthony either in response to a question or a request for quote, for instance. In terms of punctuality, the painters did work over four different days. I had to meet them for two of the days as well as one day for the initial quote. They were on time for the quote  (though complained about meeting at 5:30 PM, which seems reasonable for working adults!) and one of the working days, but not the other (and I had to get to work, so that was frustrating). In addition, while the painting began at 7 AM on a Saturday (ugh!), I had to wait for Anthony to arrive at 9 with the paint and to go over payment and other details, so I couldn't go home and go back to sleep. The next day, I expressly said that they should call my husband as my phone would be on silent, but they still called me. I also asked the first round of painting to call an hour before they were done, but they called when they were done, so unfortunately, they had to wait an hour. There were also a few things they said they'd do for us, that they didn't do (and I felt we tipped generously). After asking for one, they did do it and the other was just more trouble than it was worth (leaving the banister to the basement off as we planned to replace it - they put it back on). There was also a room that I wanted to match the paint color that was there and the previous owners had labeled a paint can as being for that room, but it wasn't. While that's certainly not the painters' fault or the company, it would have been nice for them to say as they started "that color doesn't match - are you sure this is the right one?" before painting the whole thing and then me having to pay again to repaint in a different color (as opposed to just having to pay for new paint and them getting it painted the color I wanted the first time). Again, not their fault per se (esp the painters who may not have known the story nor had great English), but would have been a nice thing to do knowing my preference to match the color in the room. It would have saved them time and me money. They gave me a very good price to repaint the room knowing I was unhappy and also removed very difficult wallpaper on the second go-round.
So in summary, yes, I'd use them again. They do good work and are reasonably priced. But just prepare for some communications challenges.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Millington, MD

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.
