"I HIGHLY recommend Pro Warrior! I've hired them for many jobs already as they are responsive, affordable, and proactive. I had them replace my roof and siding - I am obsessed with the results to say the least. I hired them back to complete a finished basement. Pro Warrior is the absolute best around."

"They are one of the only contractors left that do everything by hand. No nail guns. They had the work done in only one day. They showed up at seven in the morning. They laid down a tarp to catch all the debris. They were done by 3;30 in the afternoon. The foreman called me when they were done and came over to do a walk through with me. I got a warranty in the mail for the shingles and a 15 year warranty from the company. I am very pleased with the results."

"I've owned a home in Massachusetts for over 20 years, and I can say with confidence that this is the best contractor experience I have ever had regrading having work done on my house. Robert Milliard Roofing did a fantastic job. They met and/or exceeded all my expectations. The work was done on-time, to-estimate (which was very competitive), and the craftsmanship is excellent. Robert and his crew are very professional, courteous, and take pride in their work. I was especially impressed by how cleanly they keep the job site at the end of each day. When the work was done, Robert's crew completely removed all trash, nails, and debris left from my old roof. They even volunteered to removed some "extra" junk that was left behind by another contractor. During the job, one of our garden ornaments was damaged by a shingle falling from the roof. I had expected some "collateral damage" given how big a job the was so I was not upset. But, when my wife pointed this out to one of the workers, Robert went out of his way to find and purchase an exact replacement. Robert also when the "extra mile" to re-shingle my tool shed and woodshed because, in his works, "it looks better."
If I should ever need additional work done on my roof, there is no other contractor I would call. I highly recommend Robert Milliard Roofing.

"I needed them to get the job done by the 15th (or it was going to run into other very important things I had going on, so had them scheduled to start the job 4 days before this (in case they needed to rrepalce the roof boards with plywood). Well (because of another job they had) they showed-up on the 14th. This did cause me a headache as the job ran to the 16th. I was at the home doing other work when they started the job and I kept an eye on their work. When stripping the roof (of both the shingles and the wood boards, a lot of this rubble filled-up the brand-new soffet vent boxes I had built -my home did not have soffets/soffet vents or a ridge vent before I started my renovations). After stripping and dropping the chimney, one of the younger workers on the roof started to plywood the roof and I noticed he was installing the plywood over the top of the soffet vent (as they should), but without cleaning all the rubble out of them! This would mean the roof/attic would not vent propery (the air would not be able to go through these vents and up to the ridge vent (thus negating all my work of installing soffet vents and them installing a roof vent). I brought this to the attention of the younger worker on the roof (who's attitude was like, 'oh, ya'); Either he didn't know the importance of making sure the roof vented properly -which is unacceptable for a roofer- or he didn't care. I brought up my shop-vac and stood there while he vacuumed all the rubble out of the portion of the soffet he just covered (I had to go to work eventually and left the crew my shop-vac in the hopes they would vacuum out the rest as they went along -the older guy who ran the crew from the ground completely understood my concern about the rubble in the soffet vent and assured me the rest would be cleaned-out before they put the plywood over it (I do believe this was done because he was not too happy with the younger guy up on the roof for overlooking this -or getting caught overlooking this). The price was good for the work done (about mid-range in the quotes from other companies I had come by and look at the job -all from Angie's List). The job was completed in two days (so once stared, they moved pretty fast), and from what I watched them do: Installing about half the plywood, some of the the ice/water shield, shingles, etc, and the way it looks completed, it appears to be a solid job (and I've had no leaks to this point). And to their credit, they did comply with my on-job request to drop-in the plastic vents that run between the rafters (and connect the soffets to the ridge vent) on one half of the roof before they put the plywood down (this added about 15-20 min to the overall job -I could get these vents in on the other half of the roof myself from the attic). However, the fact that I had to catch the rubble in the soffets and that they didn't show-up when scheduled (and that I'm still chasing them down for a copy of the final invoice), I will not go with them when it's time to do the other side of the roof...or perhaps I will, if I can take the day of from work and 'supervise' the job"

"Benchmark refaced our rental unit cabinets and it came out great! They had really good attention to detail too and came back to install higher quality drawer slides and a better drawer front (original cam in and inch too small)."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in New Castle, NH

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.
