"Bill Taylor, the President of the company, carefully surveyed the condition of the roof. His detailed, clear estimate addressed all of my concerns. The crew assigned to the project was efficient and courteous. The company is GAF certified, ensuring the warranty will be honored. I highly recommend Four Seasons Roofing."

"It went well. Installation was timely (and given the COVID19 situation, quite dynamic), professional, clean and for the most part without misadventure. Windows are smooth and attractive, and as far as I can tell, energy efficiency is solid."

"Within 30minutes of my call, a team of plumbers arrived. Repair to the pipes and demolition accomplished that day. (Note that Paul arranged this on his cell phone from New York City, at a time when there were frozen pipes all over the island and no plumbers available. Paul made sure he was on hand when the insurance adjuster arrived a few days later, and provided all documentation for our claim. Once the claim was settled, Paul's crew sheet rocked and painted, leaving the place better than they found it. At the same time, Paul recommended some modifications to our plumbing that would protect us from pipes freezing in the future.
Additionally, we worked out a punch list of handy-man tasks that his crew accomplished while they were here; rehanging doors and repairing sheetrock damage.
We have done other projects with Paul. You are welcome to come see the deck he built for us.
We feel that his prices are fair and billing is fully transparent.

"Prompt & professional was Dominick (owner), George (foreman) and the entire roofing crew, from the beginning of work to the end. The attention to detail that D & S Roofing provided was an absolute, and worthy, "10" on a scale of 1 to 10. Every question we had throughout the 2-day operation was addressed immediately. All high-quality material was used on the roof (and gutters), including fantastic installation equipment. A comprehensive cleanup was also performed after the first day, as well as after the second day by several crew members. One last note, Kate (in the office) was a pleasure to communicate with from my initial-contact phone call, and throughout the whole process. Thank you (again) D & S Roofing for doing a great job, and putting a big smile back on my face! God bless!!!"

"I called the top two rated Angie's List companies in my area of Brooklyn and both responded. Topline quickly viewed my home and sent me a bid along with additional suggestions. I asked for and received another manufacturer's white vinyl shake siding and it was a perfect siding match (the original siding company is out of business). The second company was difficult to reach, but eventually responded, but with a bid a few hundred dollars more than Topline. I selected Topline and they arrived exactly on time on the day they said they would. They worked quickly and neatly, removing my old siding and installing to perfection my new siding and corner posts. They swept up completely and also cleaned out the debris in my gutters. The work crew (3 men) worked quickly and were very polite. During the early stages of the work the owner showed up to observe how his crew was performing. Very professional. In the end, it was an excellent job at a fair price. I recommend."

"Our experience with Thermosiding was absolutely incredible. Not only are they expert craftsmen, they are also the hardest working,kindest, most patient men you would ever want to work on your house. They arrived every day between 9 and 9:30, and rarely left before 6:30pm. When we were unsure about something, they took all the time we needed to explain what they were doing or show us different options, so we could make a choice. Their number one concern was to make us happy, and they definitely accompished that goal. We chose light gray siding and blue shutters, but what made our house different was our request for red trim around different areas of the house to make it really stand out. Paul, the foreman, walked down the block with me so I could show him a house that had the look I wanted with the trim, and he said "No problem." It was enormous amount of extra work for them, but they never complained. It came out absolutely beautiful, our house looks magnificent. I loved the crew so much I baked them chocolate chip cookies and brownies. The next day, the boss, Peter, knocked on my door at lunch time and said "You cooked yesterday, I cooked today!" In one hand he had a plate of delicious baked eggplant, and in the other a delicious tomato salad with feta cheese and onions. And, an entire loaf of italian bread. Several times during the construction process Peter cooked lunch for the crew, and always had a plate for me. That's just the kind of guys they were. When they were just about finished with the job, my husband walked around to the back of the house and saw Paul working on some screens. He asked, "What are you doing?" Paul replied, "I'm replacing all your screens that have paint on them." That was practically every screen in the house, since the last painter we had was a slob. We certainly never asked Paul to do that, and we were not charged for that. Again, a beautiful act of kindness on Paul's part. I was sorry to see the job end because we will definitely miss the crew. I hope a million people stop by our house and ask who did the work. It will be my pleasure to recommend Thermosiding."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in New-suffolk, 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.
