"It didn't go very well. The gentleman came and looked at the roof. He said that he would send us a summary of what he found but we never received it. He just looked at the roof, he never did any work. He was on time. I am less likely to use them again. He didn't really do any work, he just looked at the roof for 10/15 minutes."

"We got a new roof, gutter cleaning, and siding repair from Segelman Shaw Roofing Siding & Gutters. The price was fair, the work was all done exquisitely, and they even fixed a couple of small issues with my skylights at no extra charge. These guys know their stuff. I really can't ask for more from them. Cheers!"

"They first came out to check my gutters. They were giving me a free estimate and just noticed a tennis ball stuck in gutter. They didn't even charge me for it. I then pointed out a leak in one of the bedrooms. They saw it was due to a flashing pipe. They fixed it.

They were very nice, didn't rush me. They were very patient and professionally. Definite happy I found them. They are coming again today to replace another flashing pipe.

"To many other roofers in the NYC Greater region- take note, Vandelay has you beat by quite a bit in terms of understanding a client and the particular needs of the job.  I went through a half dozen estimates and site visits; Vandelay and one other contractor where the only ones who were able to produce a timely, considered estimate.  And this was in the down season!
Regarding the job itself.  It presented several unknowns that Bob and his crew were able to work through and develop solutions to in a timely manner.  The demo went smoothly as well as the new installs and final flashing and chalking details.  At this point, the new roof has been through several storms and seems to be doing quite well.  If there is a problem, Bob seems more that capable to address per the contract, which I certainly appreciate.
Its clear he has a lot of experience doing what he knows, and doing it well.  He has good intuition and understanding of a job and the individuals and characters that might be involved, and how to work with them effectively (including myself likely :)
I've been through a couple of roof jobs at this point on various structures, and felt confident with Bob throughout the job; there were no instances that I felt were be minimized or neglected.  And importantly for a Condo building in NYC, Bob's crew made sure that they premise was CLEANER than when they left which is often a big deal with testy unit owners.
Overall, very pleased with both the estimation process, keeping on budget and timeframe and delivering a sound roof in material and craftmanship.  Highly recommended.

"The project was started promptly, completed professionally without exclusions, questions or confusion. Thomas visited the site prior to giving a quote, even though my specifications were detailed and included a floor plan. He and his team arrived On-Time and prepared to work, and work they did. Installing 5/8" sheetrock requires strength, planning and care to achieve professional results, and these guys are pros! Every outlet and switch cut is point-on, every join smooth, every corner bead flawless and the ceiling and inner joins, perfect. 32 pieces of sheetrock installed to total professional perfection, ready to prime, in just 3 days. As a multi-home owner I will definitely be using Argostoli again and I am happy to offer my highest recommendation for their professional drywall work."

"It was excellent. They were right on time. They were very neat and very fast in doing the roof. Everything was done very efficiently. The cost was very good for the work that they did. They came in right in one of these so-called special deals from other companies. Overall, it was great quality. They had great customer service and we haven't had an issue at all since they installed it in April."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Nanuet, NY

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.
