Welcome to RK Roofing Inc. We are the premier professional home improvement company offering the highest quality and most attentive customer service. We are known to pay exquisite attention to detail while making customer satisfaction our top priority. Whether your project involves minor repairs or a complete new or replacement roof installation, we are glad to be your number one choice. From the estimate until the job is done, you can feel at ease dealing directly with R K Roofing’s owner, Jarek.

"They took the job even though they don't know how to do flat roofs, and never at any point started that they don't know how to do flat roofs until after I called to complain about water leaking in my closet. The contract states tear off old roof and install new shingles. He did not honor the contract. He didn't reroof the entire roof, and only reshingled the flat roof. The contract and request was for a new roof over the entire house. Of the Leake he asked why it just now started leaking, and suggested maybe a branch fell on it. It did not seem he ever intended to honor the warranty. His first response was "I didn't do the back" when I called about the leak and told him the location. I requested a partial refund, and he started that he would wait till he's served -- boasting that a lawsuit will take a year."

We are family owned and operated; Robert Celeste has been replacing roofs since 1984. You are dealing directly with business owner. Anyone in our crew has a minimum of 10 year on the job experience and undergoes constant training.

"Robert was a pleasure to work with and gave me a great deal compared to two other competitors. His team did a great job too, against adversity, and finished the job in just two days as promised. First, they discovered that my sheathing was rotting due to high moisture and poor ventilation in the attic of my 26yr old home. They successfully replaced 55 sheets of 1/2" plywood, without hesitation, after my approval, to keep the job on track. Better even yet, they resolved the sources of the moisture and lack of ventilation to ensure that it doesn't happen again. Second, at the start of the 2nd day, their ladder hoist broke down, which I expected to halt work (not getting heavy packages of shingles to the roof). But, instead of a delay, the team members just carried them up the ladder manually to get the job done on time. You don't see that kind of commitment very often in this new world order. I would highly recommend them for your next roofing job. Thank you, R Celeste Construction!"

"Our experience with A&D was excellent. After 5 quotes (A&D being the first) and reading through the contracts, not only was A&D's the most direct, but they were also the most honest. No hidden fees or language. Our representative was easy to talk to, made last-minute adjustments before the work started, and was available throughout the project. Each crew that came to complete the work were professional, kind, and had top notch skills. They were very tidy too- and cared about my three dogs’ safety. The project manager addressed all my questions and completed a thorough inspection with me post project. The warranty on work is best in class as well. I am going to use A&D for my future projects. We strongly recommend A&D. You will not be disappointed in price, quality, installation, warranty, or communication (verbal, email, text, and phone). Thank you A&D. PS. I love my dryer vent."

Heating cable for roof installations FAQs

A typical heat cable uses about 5 watts per foot, regardless of the outside temperature. So, if your cable is 100 feet long, it uses around 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.

Yes, you can install heat tape in your gutters to help melt ice and keep water flowing smoothly. The system is mounted securely above the gutter brackets so the tape warms the gutter surface and prevents ice buildup. Be sure to have a qualified professional install the heat tape using proper techniques and hardware to ensure optimal performance and protect your gutter system.

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.

Both heated gutters and roof heating cables prevent ice buildup, but your choice depends on your roof design and aesthetic goals. Heated gutters provide a discreet solution that maintains your home’s exterior appeal, while roof heating cables offer powerful, widespread ice melting. Consider the installation requirements and energy needs to determine which system fits your property best.

Yes, roof heating cables prevent ice dams by quickly melting accumulated snow and ice along your roof edge. They create a warm channel that allows water to drain freely, eliminating the conditions that cause ice dams. This active ice-melting system protects your roof structure and minimizes the risk of water damage during severe winter weather.

Roof heating cables last between two and 10 years, depending on environmental exposure and installation quality. They're designed to work effectively for a period influenced by factors like climate severity, cable type, and how well you maintain them. Regular inspections and proactive maintenance can extend their lifespan and ensure continuous roof protection throughout winter.
