"I received estimates from 4 roofing contractors; George provide the most detailed proposal - I knew exactly what I was paying for, and exactly what to expect. His responses to my (many!) questions were timely; he called & scheduled my roof installation precisely when he said he would, and he and his crew did a thorough clean up job when the project was complete. Highly recommend!"

"If you are looking for a fantastic company to do roofing/box gutters/soffit and fascia look no further than RMR Contracting. I was so impressed with the wonderful job they did repairing my very ugly and in badly need of repair box gutters. They took something ugly and turned it into something beautiful. The new soffit and fascia they installed to the underside of the box gutters makes such a difference to the appearance of the house. The owner of the company, Anthony and all the workers were polite, experienced, hard working and did the job in record time. They also repaired the flashing around my two chimneys. They cleaned up every night and never left a mess behind. I highly recommend them. I need my roof repaired next and I will be using them again. Thank you again RMR Contracting for doing an excellent job, above and beyond.    "

"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."

"They quoted a very reasonable price for the work needed and were able to reconnect the one siding panel while there. They also check and secured when possible other loose panels. I won't hesitate to call them for additional outside work."

"Gary, was very helpful and pointed me on the right direction after I had discussed my concerns. Had he been able to help me I would have gladly hired him. My system ended up being under warranty and he suggested I contact the manufacture as to not void my warranty."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Murrysville, 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.
