"I hire Pure Gutter Solutions to get the gutter filter installed. Gave a fairly reasonable price and also they were not as pushy as a certain company. The work that was done was also professional and clean. Will recommend to anyone trying to get gutter filter installed."

"Company was always very responsive and accommodating of my schedule. I was called several days before to confirm / remind me of date and time and then called the morning of the work to say they were on their way. Michael, Ray and Nick were friendly but very professional. They explained everything they did and cleaned up so well you’d never know any work was done. I am now looking forward to winter to see how my heat bills are affected!!"

"Apex first responded to our call for help to perform a few small tweaks to prevent future leaks of our roof … until we could get it together to have a new roof installed. About a year and a half later, Jared, Sergio and crew came out to do their magic, not leaving a single shingle, per se, unturned. They took meticulous care to communicate what they were finding, made the necessary corrections, and gave us not only a beautifully finished product, but confidence that our roof will be protected from the elements. We found their integrity impeccable, their work masterful, and best of all, blessed assurance that they will be there for us should any unforeseen circumstance arise."

"The job went well.  Once into the tuck pointing part of the job, it was obvious that a lot of mortar behind the outside brick had eroded away.  Michael did a great job making sure the job was done correctly.  As for the roof, the fixes he did, addressed the problem of leaking at the flashing.

"Our experience with Kotch's was fabulous, start to finish. We have a very large home and replaced every window as well as the siding and gutters. We are extremely happy with everything, from the quality of the products to the installation and final look. Mike was exceptional to work with. He is very knowledgable about all options, took his time to explain everything, to make sure we were confident with our choices, and frequently checked in to make sure things were going well with the teams doing the job. He easily accommodated to a few scheduling needs on our end as well as a big request that made a large portion of work easier on us. The window guys were the best! It's not easy having strangers in your home all day for a week, but these gentlemen were as friendly and as unobtrusive as they could be, and completely cleaned up every trace of work each evening before leaving. The new windows are fabulous, and Mike's suggestions to the exterior trim were perfect; the exterior work looks wonderful as well. We have no complaints, it was a job very, very well done. Thank you so much Mike!"

"Lucas came out as promised the next day. He was thorough, professional and friendly, and I appreciated that he responded when others would not. Despite the inclement weather, he climbed onto the roof and checked everything out. After his inspection he took the time to explain exactly what we were dealing with. We will be needing a new roof once the winter weather leaves our area. But when we are ready to have one installed, this time I won't be searching for a roofing contractor. I now have one. . Lucas will get the job!"

"We had mold issues at two of our rental houses at the same time. One was small (bathroom ceiling) and one was a whole house and crawl space. I called multiple providers to come out and look at the projects and Ron and Dan from Complete Service Restoration were the ones that really took their time to understand the issues and come up with a plan. We started with the small project first and it was completed very quickly. For the whole house project CSR were the only provider who recommended a 3rd party air quality consultant to inspect the house and prepare a detailed remediation protocol. Ron, Dan and Anthony removed a lot of drywall.... sub floors.... insulation and cleaned the house from top to bottom using the correct tools and adhering to the strict remediation protocol. It was a lengthy process that took several months to complete including testing and clearance. They also encapsulated the crawl space and hepa vacuumed it. I have a lot of experience dealing with contractors and CSR really came through. Other companies send out a sales person but when Ron and Dan comes out you know that they are the ones who will do the work after you hire them. Their prices were fair and reasonable compared to their competitors. Cost of service was for both projects with 90% of it related to the entire house remediation (1800 sqf). Last but not least... they were a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend them for anything related to mold remediation and water/fire damage."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Northville, MI

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.
