"SunPro scheduled my appointment and their in house crew showed up on time and installed my panels professionally. Later that day their electrical crew connected my panels to my existing electrical panel. Everyone whom I've dealt with with this company has been helpful and knowledgeable.  Everything was clean, complete and I'm happy with the job.

"They did fine. It costed me nothing. I bought a maintenance contract when I bought the new door. They never followed up on it which was why I got the service free. They went ahead and gave me that visit for free. The price was fine. I was pleased with the salesperson originally. I was not pleased at all with the installation. It took a long time to get everything installed properly. I was disappointed in that and it took many phone calls. It ended up fine."

"Very well. The slight dip in the kitchen looks better and the doors trued up. The slight sag still in the kitchen floor is because of the sub floor plywood which I didn't want to get in to. They leveled the joist by shimming the tops of several cinder block posts and installing a pair permanent of steel posts under a section of joist the previous owner had cut in two."

"They were very friendly and professional. This was our first experience having to replace a roof, and they took the time to explain everything and handled everything with our insurance company. They also went out of their way to bring extra samples by until we made a decision on shingles. The day of install was impressive. A crew showed up first thing in the morning, laid tarps across everything and went to work. Everyone was polite and focused on their work, and they had it completed by the end of the day. They cleaned everything up and left no mess. I highly recommend AMI Roofing. It was a seamless experience."

"It was difficult to get working on the job due to all the rain we have had but when they were able to come they were here at daybreak which was a plus - get in & get it done - loved that. They were very neat & clean & at the end of the day there was no trash anywhere! Another plus. They did a great job on the roof & it looks great! We have a chimney and they decided, without talking to us, to put a tall piece of flashing around it & scored the bricks about 1/2 in deep to bend the flashing & insert the top into the scored slot - looked nice from the ground. They completed the job in a timely manner, 3 days as they had said. Then the rain started again and our chimney started leaking! - never had any leaks anywhere previously. It leaked around the outside & somehow came down the inside the chimney as well. It took a day or two to have our calls returned. In the meantime we had been up on the roof inspecting it & saw another area that was bare wood that had not been finished. When they came to see if they could see where the problem was the young man said well the boss did not have any caulking for me to finish with. When I pointed out the bare wood his reply was Oh I guess I forgot to finish that! I'll do it today. They caulked & finished the bare area. The weather complied & gave us more rain - still leaked in all the same places. It took another day or two to return our calls. The boss came with the young man the second time & they took all the flashing away & caulked more & replaced the flashing & more caulking. The story is not finished yet because we have not had a rain since to know if it is completely waterproof again. The boss is very nice, the workers constantly working-no wasting time. I was totally happy with the work & clean-up. Just unhappy with the leaks that we never had even with missing shingles & rotten spots. I also was not happy they decided to cut into our chimney without talking to us first. They did explain that cutting into the chimney would not have cause the problem - we're not convinced. The boss also found some holes in the mortar between the bricks & showed me the pictures of them. That may have been how the water got inside the chimney. Maybe the banging and vibrations the work produced loosened the mortar and caused some of the issue but not caulking because they didn't have any more was also a problem & not finishing an area that we would never have seen if we did not get on the roof, would have been a problem down the road.

"They were polite people, however, they said they would clean out gutters then wash them. Instead they pressure cleaned them out, leaving a huge mess everywhere. At the corner there was a substantial branch hanging out of the gutter and in the back there are still leaves stuck between the house and gutters. I had to go out and wash the whole house down for the mess they made, including the porch! Would not hire again."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Mineral Bluff, 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.
