Your Home. Your Priorities. Our Expertise. For more than half a century, GF Sprague has been a growing part of Boston’s architectural fabric. We began by restoring slate roofs and hand-forming copper details for some of the area’s most historic sites and city buildings. These weren’t just jobs, they were lessons in precision and pride. Slate and copper demanded true craftsmanship, the kind that can’t be rushed or faked. That craftsmanship is our foundation. As Boston grew we did too, expanding to help homeowners in the surrounding towns. We wanted to bring the same standard of excellence required on those historic projects to everyone. Today, GF Sprague adds on to our traditional roofing specialties with asphalt, rubber, and cedar. -In addition to our copperwork we can also work on chimneys, gutters, windows, and siding, Whether it’s a 100-year-old brownstone or an updated colonial home, we bring the same commitment to detail, durability, and integrity that defined us on day one. What truly sets GF Sprague apart isn’t just our skill, it’s our promise to treat every customer like family. Every roof we install is a promise: to protect a family and carry forward Boston’s tradition of homes built to last. Along with that promise is another, our Best Price Promise. This means you get the best price for your project every time. Many of our clients have trusted us for generations, passing down their loyalty just as we’ve passed down our craft. With GF Sprague, you don’t just get a contractor — you gain a lifelong, local partner in caring for your home’s exterior.

"Very impressed with Sprague, Mark was very knowledgeable and straightforward. Crew was first class closing roofing and Clean Up in four days and cold weather. Justin was terrific, personable and responsive, and was always on site or available. Crew and especially Foreman were excellent. I would recommend GF Sprague for a high quality Job, their technology and customer service."

Welcome to Ranch Roofing! Our goal is to provide our customers with the highest level of service and satisfaction. Please contact owner Bob O'Sullivan today for friendly, personalized and award winning service. 12 Months no interest, no payment, same as cash (ask for details).

"We are writing to express our sincere gratitude for the outstanding service we recently received. Ranch Roofing installed our roof back in 2012. Fast forward to 2025, when we had damage to our ridge vent, we called Ranch Roofing, and within 10 minutes had a call back from the owner, Bob. He said he would have it looked at and fixed, but to our surprise, in a matter of a few days, he sent his crew, who ripped the entire ridge vent off and replaced it free of charge. We cannot say enough positive things about Bob, his Crew, and this Company. Thank you Bob- Your quick response and generosity are much appreciated! Sincerely, Maryann and Randy D. "

"We started out dealing with one of the sales reps John Fossetti. Great experience. He told us about the company, about the products, had samples and a huge selection of siding to choose from. He was very open and answered all of our questions. After several consultations with many companies we knew Beantown was for us. We scheduled siding replacement for our entire house as well as new window replacement for all windows - 24 of them and a new slider. They were very professional and their crew was excellent. The windows had all new construction around them and we got ProVia windows that carry a lifetime warranty. They removed all of the old siding, fixed any rotten or damaged areas, wrapped the entire house to waterproof it and hung new siding, trim, gutters and gutter guards. It turned out absolutely beautiful. Our house looks new again! Jim Ewell the project manager was great to work with. He was very supportive, professional and answered all of our questions.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Norwell, 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.
