"We had new windows installed January 2023 and ran into a problem with the window company completing our bay window standing seam metal roof that we requested. After over two months of waiting, I contacted Bill Jackson at Bill Jackson Roofing to see if he could get the roof completed. Bill came out right away and the roof was installed the following week. The installers were very professional and were very concerned that our design needs were met. We are EXTREMELY pleased with our bay window standing seam metal roof and the quality of work performed by Bill Jackson Roofing. I would definitely recommend calling Bill Jackson for your metal roof needs."

"Everything went very well. We sent Michael pictures of what needed to be done. He gave us a quote. We later asked him to come onsite to firm up the quote, which he did, and the price was the same. He stated he was booked some time out, but said he sometimes has cancellations. He contacted us and stated he indeed had a cancellation, so was able to start the next day. He started the work, even without a deposit, since it was short notice, and we were still away, out of town. We were trying to decide what to do for railing, and had captured quotes from supply companies for replacement aluminum or steel materials, but they seemed high. We asked Michael for his thoughts. He checked a hardware store for us, sent us pictures, and then sent us the part number/SKU's from the store. We paid the store directly, and he picked up the materials. The work is almost done, but all has gone great thus far, and we see no reason why it won't complete with great success."

"Excellent work by skilled tradesman! I had Lance and his crew install a concrete driveway. They worked their tails off to get it done in time, on budget, and were respectful of my family and neighbors. I liked them so much I had them do a bathroom remodel. Same thing as before, excellent work, on time and respectful of my family and home. I can’t say enough good about this company. It’s hard to find these days!!"

"We are very happy with Jason and Sweet-It’s fixed. We hired them to install a new bathroom in our basement and it turned out great. From boring old extra storage room to completely finished turn key full bathroom we are happy with the project. Jason was very responsive to all communications (email, text, call) and communicated well throughout the project. Pricing was fair and reasonable, and timeliness to complete the project great. Jason exceeded our expectations and we would hire him again for the next project."

"My husband and I met Jeff Brummitt from Nail It Down Remodeling when he and his crew were installing a GAF roof on our neighbor's home.  We were so impressed with the quality of the product, the professionalism displayed by the crew, the clean up done at the end of each work day and the completed job that we contracted with him for our new roof.  We highly recommend this company for anyone requiring a great job and a great product!

"Ty Crawford came out and met with my wife and I on two separate occasions. He was very pleasant, informative and thorough in his presentation and providing an estimate. He was the first source we spoke with. After meeting with several other competent and reputable service providers over the next couple weeks, we called him back, spoke further and decided to choose Shingle King to replace our roof. Ty had kept in contact twice during the couple of weeks while we looked at other potential providers. No pressure tactics, just a quick friendly phone call to see if we had made a decision yet.
His was not the lowest of the four estimates we received, but we had a comfort level speaking with him, discussing work ethic, and reviewing the project that we needed done and the quality of materials he would be using. (Each of the other providers we received estimates from also presented themselves and their services very well). There was simply a comfortable feeling, especially after signing the contract that we had made the right choice. It was a good fit for us.
We had a couple weeks wait until other projects were completed and weather had cleared before our work commenced. The roofing crew did an excellent job removing the old roof and installing the new. We had chosen to alter the color of shingles and also decided to have a Groove Vent cut into the roof and eliminating the unsightly ventilation boxes, which Ty had mentioned were too few for proper air flow. Work was promptly performed over two days. Crew members were courteous and did a fine job of cleaning up after the work was completed.
Once finished the roof looked great! The shingle color selection was spot on matching the new color theme we had chosen. We are very pleased with the work that was performed and Ty's follow-up make sure we were satisfied both with the service and quality of craftsmanship as well as the appearance of the roof.
A very good experience for us!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Milton-center, OH

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.
