We have been family owned for over 30 years. We’re a 3rd generation company not a corporate company we’re a family buisness that take pride in quality over quantity. We treat our customers like family to ensure a lasting relationship. Don’t hesitate to reach out and see what we can do for each other. We have installed thousands of roofs and there’s no job we can’t handle. We’re licensed insured and bonded. Backed by BBB and Angie’s certified. Thanks for your time.

"We recently hired Gentry Construction for a brand new roof and we are extremely pleased with the result. Dana, the owner, is a true professional who ensures his team delivers quality work. Their punctuality was impeccable, with the crew starting precisely at 7 AM every day without fail. The installation itself was expertly done. My only very slight critique is that the cleanup afterward could have been a bit more meticulous to meet my personal standard. However, this was a minor issue and does not detract from the overall superb service and craftsmanship. I highly recommend them."

David's Roofing has proudly serviced the Modesto area's roofing needs since 1977. Our experts are skilled in all types of roofing and offer a variety of services.

"Everything went really well from the beginning meeting with Mario, who explained everything in detail that I had questions about, he also explained about the new type of shingles that are now required that are more reflective, and why more vents would be needed on my older roof. He was very patient, and made sure I felt my questions were thoroughly addressed. Everybody on the team was great to work with, very professional, always friendly and polite, including Alejandra in the office, who kept me updated with emails. The work started at an earlier date than was estimated and was completed in less days as well, including the replacement and installation of the gutters with leaf filters. I was very impressed through the whole process, and I am very happy with the new roof and gutters -- they did a great job!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Modesto, CA

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.
