"The team worked very quickly and everything was completed as scheduled for our new roof installation. They all did a great job. All of the shingles are under warranty which is exactly what we were hoping for since we bought a new house. We noticed a gutter leak once the weather warmed up and they came to fix the issue as soon as we called. Great communication and service, very highly recommended :)"

"I was very pleased with the quality of the materials and the work. The only problem I have is they did not add any extra ventilation over the lower roof (garage). I has specifically asked the project manager to ensure they added ample ventilation and she ensured me they would. At the end of the installation I noticed they didn't add any vents. When I raised the question why it was not added, they replied with "there is sufficient ventilation for that size of roof...this has the power vent installed". When I look around the houses in my neighborhood...they all had an extra vent to allow the heat to escape near the top of the roof."

"Installed my roof 3 years ago, did a great job for a fair price. Excellent crew. I needed a re-inspection of the roof for a refi I am doing. Very couteous representative came within days, accomplished the inspection and delivered what I needed. Prior to the roof I also installed Gutter Helmets which also work like a charm. Great people to do business with."

"Robert was very flexible with our crazy schedule.  On the day he came to do the work, he called to let us know he was on the way.  The hardwood floors were carefully covered with thick brown paper, then  padded drop cloths.  The old plaster (?) and tape were scraped off and the cracks were repaired.  Robert explained that a totally smooth finish on the ceiling would take more time and increase the cost, so we agreed on a textured ceiling. The ceiling is beautiful, but it was amazing how closely they matched the texture of the walls that were repaired.  After we had received the initial quote, we had a leak in the kitchen ceiling and some damage we caused in removing a baseboard.  Robert took it all in stride and repaired everything we added for just $100.00 additional.  Frank, who repaired the kitchen ceiling did a fantastic job.  The only indication that it has been repaired is that it is totally white and needs to be painted to match the ceiling color.  Robert explained everything they were doing as the repairs were being made.  Everything was cleaned and wiped down when they were finished.  They were all pleasant and accomplished professionals.  We have already planned to have him come back for additional jobs.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Monroeville, PA

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.
