"American Craftsmen of North Carolina did a stellar job of replacing our roof, replacing our gutters, and repairing and painting our porch. The operation was seamless from start to finish and we are so grateful for the exceptional service that American Craftsmen provided! Communication remained steady from the initial estimate to the final walkthrough and all of our questions were answered in a timely way throughout the process. The teams were professional, courteous, and punctual and they completed all of the projects with great skill and efficiency. Our estimate matched our final bill with no surprise charges. This is an awesome company and we have already recommended them to two people. If you are in need of any of the repairs that this company offers, we would highly recommend them without hesitation. These are real deal pros and we are very satisfied customers!"

"I cannot say enough good things about Ed Shook Contracting, Inc. I was completely beside myself Monday night when, during a storm, my daughter noticed a series of ripples cascading down an interior wall in our two-story great room. My husband got on the ladder out in the rain and found that we had a piece of rotten wood along the roofline next to the chimney and that the roof was actually bowed in on that spot. We covered it with some plastic and duct tape, and I immediately got on our neighborhood listserv and saw that Mr. Shook came highly recommended by a neighbor. I then went to Angie's List and saw Mr. Shook's fantastic rating, and decided to send him an email from his website right then and there. This was approximately 9 o'clock on Monday night. Needless to say, I did not sleep well that night worrying about the water damage in the wall and what was going on with the roof in the rain! 
Early the next morning, Mr. Shook called. He said he was working in my zip code that day and would come by around 10am. He came on time, went straight up the ladder and assessed the problem, and reassured me that everything would be fine. By 2pm, his men were onsite. By 4:30pm, my roof was fixed! I was elated!
While up there, he also assessed the roof, added a ridge vent and tacked down roof tiles so that my 17 year-old roof will remain solvent (hopefully) until at least its 25th year. He did all of this for only $350.
I believe that Mr. Shook is truly the best in the business. I'd call him again in a heartbeat, and I plan on recommending him to all of my family and friends. He's a professional and I trust him.

"Although I thought the roof was a little high I am confident of the quality and I had gutter supplies which Mr Bullock had his work install for me "Free" I'm hoping I won't need them again but if I'll call him first

"Provided a free estimate by e-mail and was punctual for appointment. Installed ceiling fan boxes which I have since used by installing fans and they work as expected.
Pros: Experienced and efficient in his electrical work. Reasonable and free estimates unlike the other highest rated electrical provider on Angie's.
Cons: Clean-up work was a bit shoddy: Insulation in attic was disturbed and not corrected, joint compound work on holes in dry wall was below par.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in New Hill, NC

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.
