"You won't hear anything but a rave review from me. Ten did our complicated 3rd floor duplex roof --part flat roof, part mansard, plus a lower flat roof. For reasons I won't bore you with, his crew had to work hand in glove with two other contractors simultaneously (an insulation guy and a deck builder). A lot of roofers would hate that, coz if they don't agree on times, the job drags on. Ten and his crew worked very well with the other guys. The job was done excellently. I priced a lot of roofers and questioned him carefully on materials etc. He was very collaborative. I'd had prior experience with a roofer, and it was a disaster. (It was my first experience with a big contracting job as a homeowner. I've learned my lesson.) The very reason I hired Ten only 10 years after the prior job was because the prior job was lousy and the contractor a dishonest take-the-money-and-run guy. And don't get me started on the mess. They didn't do the seams or anything at ALL right --which is why I was gathering roofing nails off my driveway for years. NOT so with Ten's crew. They cleaned everything up. It's not just that Ten is responsive, fair thorough. He keeps a happy crew. I like that, both because a happy crew does better work, but also as a human, I like seeing guys working their butts off in the hot sun treated like equals. In the years since, a problem arose around a skylight. Ten showed up fast, got up on the roof himself and fixed it. After that job, I recommended him to a few friends. They were all ecstatic about Ten Arya, his crew, their attitude and their work. Good, capable, honorable contractors are precious. Just today, they came by and redid the small roof over my front porch. (I was pinching pennies and didn't get it done with the original job.) Nothing had changed in terms of responsiveness, thoroughness and quality of work. This is an A+++++ review. (One last thought: If he does your roof, you're already spending a chunk of change on your roof. So buying the crew grinders and soda for lunch is money well-spent. They get their energy levels up and they're happy to do the job right for you.)"

Dear Prospective Customer, Newton Roofing Residential is a woman owned, professional roofing contractor serving the Boston area with a hands on approach and over 30 years of roofing management experience. If you are looking for a reputable company for your roofing project, and quality, integrity, and distinguished customer service are important, You’ve found your roofer I founded Newton Roofing Residential on two principals, treat our customers with respect and stand behind our work. Countless times, we go to a new customer’s home to diagnose a leak only to find a new, yet poorly installed, roof is the issue. It is troubling to see how many homeowners are victimized by shoddy Massachusetts roofing contractors. To top it off, many are dismayed to find their roof was installed by a non certified roofer, and no manufacturer will honor their warranty. We at Newton Roofing Residential are well trained and constantly stay abreast of the latest product improvements. Our dedication to professionalism allows us to offer some of the most comprehensive warranties in the industry. Although we are confident in the quality of our roofing systems, on the rare chance there is ever an issue, with our workmanship or product failure, we have you covered and will come back and fix it. When you take into consideration our available lifetime warranties, our “service first” mentality, and our sincere wish to become your partner in your roofing needs, we are the Massachusetts Roofing Contractor for your next roofing project. Whether you need a new roof, a simple repair, or just want to deal with an honest, professional, quality-orientated roofing company, you won’t regret it. Thank you for your business. Founder and CEO Toni Bryan Please give us a call with all your roofing needs. (617) 244-9901.

"I would not recommend them. Initially it appeared they did a good job on my rubber roof, so I hired them again for full gutters, which they subcontracted out. Within the year I had a large leak develop behind their new gutter. They acknowledged the problem but it took months, and constant badgering by email and phone, to get them to come back and fix the problem. They tried a temporary fix with sealer, which failed in weeks, and then it took weeks longer to get them to come back and install a fascia apron. The next year, my rubber roof leaked where they had flashed it. Again it took months to get them to come back and look at it, with constant badgering. When they came back they applied a copious amount of sealer and told me that I had a rot problem with a wooden railing that I would need a carpenter for, and that they would send me photographs and suggestions for repair. They never replied after that, and the leak continued despite their sealing attempt. I finally gave up and found a new roofer, who tells me that they did an inferior job in the first place, and the repair is costing me thousands of dollars."

"Called On top roofing for an estimate, it took several weeks to get back to us, got the estimate and agreed to have the work done. A few guy showed up one day and started working, we were not notified they were coming to work,good thing we were here that day. They did the job and left without ever communicating with us about the work. We did a walk around and discovered that some of the work was not completed. So called the company back and the owner came out to look at the job, he said it would be about another $100. To complete. We were not happy because this was supposed to be in the estimate we agreed on. The workers show up again unannounced and did the job. We then received a bill for $200. More, again this was not what was agreed upon when talking to owner. We were hoping to form a relationship with this company for future work, but that's not going to happen, there was no communication and even with a written contract they will somehow charge you more than agreed on."

Our areas of expertise include roofing, siding, windows, doors, insulation, skylights, gutters and leaf guards. We stand behind our workmanship and materials with guarantees that make our customers feel confident in their new investment. With a general contractor license, we are one of the few full-service companies in the area that you can count on for nearly all your home-improvement needs. We know that our reputation is on the line with every job that we do. We have outstanding satisfactory rating with our customers and we are very proud of that.

"I had a terrible experience with Roofers Edges & Siding Inc. We decided to replace the roof for solar system, and hired them to do the job. Remember: you are not hiring Kevin but his crew!!! The communication was extremely poor. At first, despite Kevin agreeing to use an ice shield for the front of my house, his crew was unaware of this requirement. I saw they are using the wrong material, and I had to contact Kevin at the installation day to ensure they were doing the job correctly. It was frustrating that the crew couldn't understand English, and Kevin himself never showed up at my house after the initial estimate. To make matters worse, the roof replacement resulted in a severe water leak problem between my chimney and roof. I asked them to fix it, but they failed once and never showed up again even though they provided an one-year warranty. At very beginning, I fully trusted them, and didn't check regularly, eventually I found the leaking problem persisted several months after the replacement the roof! Despite numerous attempts to contact Kevin, he consistently failed to respond to my calls and texts. Instead, he tried to blame the issue on a chimney problem, and told me they can do a water test, but that never happens. I eventually had to hire a new company to look into it, and they found out that the FLASHING was NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY!!! and I can see the sky from my attic. I had to pay extra money to redo the flashing job, and Roofers Edges & Siding already lost my trust. The lack of professionalism continued when they claimed to have applied for a permit for the job, and I trusted them. However, several months later, I found out that there was no record of the application with the town. When I contacted them, they said the issue is an incorrect address, how un-professional they are! Overall, I would not recommend Roofers Edges & Siding Inc to anyone. Their poor communication, lack of professionalism, and shoddy workmanship were unacceptable. If you're looking for a reliable and trustworthy roofer, I suggest you look elsewhere."

"Home repair gone wrong… Do NOT use Connell for any home repairs! If you do make that mistake, do NOT hand over your final payment until ALL work has been completed to your satisfaction. A large dead tree uprooted and fell on the corner of my house during a rainstorm in December 2023. It caused damage to my siding, roof and chimney. A neighbor came to look at the damage and suggested a company to repair the roof and siding. It was Connell Roofing. I had not used them previously and would NEVER use them again for any work! They told me it would take 4-5 days to complete the work. They brought in a dumpster and began setting up their equipment in June 2024. Things seemed to be good. I was working remotely so could monitor the progress. On day 1, I had a woman contractor ask if she could use my toilet. Then the next day the same thing. Then a man asked to use my toilet. I decided to call the head company and they told me that workers should be going to the bathroom when they leave my house for their lunch break. In the 7 days that they worked on my house, they NEVER left for lunch. They were there at 7:00 am and left around 7:00-30 pm. When I went downstairs to my kitchen, I several times witnessed male workers walking towards the woods on the side and rear of my property looking over their shoulders. Then I saw them at least twice standing in the woods on my property about 25-50 feet from my lawn urinating. I reported that to Connell. You would think that if a company was going to spend 5 days working at your house they would bring a port-o-potty. I can only imagine them defecating in my woods had I not been working from home. Who knows, they may have done that while I was not looking. I prefer NOT to think about it. They played a boom box super loud! Even with my windows closed and A/C on, it was noisy to work in my office. One of my neighbors actually moved out of their house on the 3rd day and did not return until after the work was finished. The workers worked too long a day. I am used to getting things done after work in the evening in my yard like mowing and gardening, but that was all but impossible with the crew working until 7:30 pm each night. To replace my roof, they needed to remove all the old nails. Although they used a tarp to catch them as they were removed, and a magnetic equipment on wheels to gather them each night, I spent the next several months picking up nails all over my yard which must have numbers at least 200! I have a 9 year old daughter who often runs in the grass barefoot. I could only imagine the hospital visit if and bill if she stepped on one and it went through her heel. I have a small mudroom in which I built a beautiful wooden bench that I stained. When the men came in to reside that area (it was previously sided by the former owner), I watched one man feel how smooth the bench surface was. The workers then proceeded to stand on the bench the next 2 days working without a blanket and scuffed the heck out of the surface! I had to sand it several times and recoat it, but the dents and scrapes will remain. All of my gutters and downspouts needed to be replaced. It sounds easy to put 2 pieces of gutter pipes together, but if your workers are not properly trained, and there is a lack of supervision and inspection by Connell, problems will arise. The day the gutters were finished we had a heavy downpour. I went outside to see how the new gutters held up. The one by the garage was gushing water out of its sides for who knows why. When I looked a little closer I could see that the pipes were connected backwards, so the top piece was outside the bottom piece. Had that gutters been inspected, the problem would have been noticed before it rained. Although the workers used a tarp to shield my front door while removing the old siding, they did not protect when they put the new siding up. I had scuffs all over my black door so it needed to be repainted. When Connell sent a painter, he was not a professional. He clearly missed spots with the brush, and you could see that he did not have enough paint on his roller when he rolled the paint on. I called Connell several times then and then months later to get it repainted again. A few days after he painted it, the paint started shipping off. I had not touched it, not had there been a storm, it just was not painted right. 14 months of excuses and my door remains unfinished. I wanted to delay a portion of my final payment at the end of work in June 2024 until my door had been repainted to my satisfaction, but was heavily pressured to pay every penny then, and was guaranteed that the repair would be made to my satisfaction and soon. The workers in the head office talk a good game and are great at making excuses for their workers’ work but are slow/unresponsive to fix problems. Final opinion: DO NOT USE CONNELL FOR ANY REPAIR WORK."

When I looked a little closer I could see that the pipes were connected backwards, so the top piece was outside the bottom piece. Had that gutters been inspected, the problem would have been noticed before it rained. Although the workers used a tarp to shield my front door while removing the old siding, they did not protect when they put the new siding up. I had scuffs all over my black door so it needed to be repainted. When Connell sent a painter, he was not a professional. He clearly missed spots with the brush, and you could see that he did not have enough paint on his roller when he rolled the paint on. I called Connell several times then and then months later to get it repainted again. A few days after he painted it, the paint started shipping off. I had not touched it, not had there been a storm, it just was not painted right. 14 months of excuses and my door remains unfinished. I wanted to delay a portion of my final payment at the end of work in June 2024 until my door had been repainted to my satisfaction, but was heavily pressured to pay every penny then, and was guaranteed that the repair would be made to my satisfaction and soon. The workers in the head office talk a good game and are great at making excuses for their workers’ work but are slow/unresponsive to fix problems. Final opinion: DO NOT USE CONNELL FOR ANY REPAIR WORK."

"Very disappointed. We asked for triple pane windows, and someone on their end ordered double pane. Luckily we noticed day of installation, and they had to re-order the proper ones we signed for. Finally the group of installers who came did a horrible job. Trash, insulation, and broken glass on our front lawn. Horribly cut wood trim that we had to redo ourselves. Poor sealing that we need to redo. Our hopper window was misaligned and couldn't close. The hinge arm on our casement window has detached from the channel. Communication is spotty from them, and sometimes we don't get an answer by call or text until we message repeatedly. It took over a year to have our project done from contract signing to end, and there are still issues cropping up. Out of the dozen of contractors we've hired the past year and a half, they have been the most disappointing and for what we paid, the quality of work was truly disappointing."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in New-town, MA

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.
