"Buckeye Roofing did a great job. The workers were great. got the job done in 2 days. Cleaned up everything afterwards and was very polite and friendly. The Owner Brent Collier came out to our house and explained everything he was going to do. We had 5 roofing companies come out to our home but Buckey Roofing was the only one that did not have a mark with the Better Business Bureau. Our roof was old and had a lot of wind damage and Brent took a lot of pictures and worked with our insurance company and they paid for our roof. My neigbors have told me what a great job Buckeye Roofing done on our house. One neighbor asked for their number because he want a new roof next year and would like to got with Buckeye Roofing. All I can say is if you need a new roof talk to Brent Collier with Buckey Roofing. You will not regret it. Bev"

"The roof job on my home was outstanding!! Santos is a perfectionist! I've never had a job done that went so smoothly and so professional! Santos is knowledgeable in every aspect of roofing, he knows roofs from the inside out. He explained and showed photos of the entire job as it was installed. His crew worked hard to get the job done right the first time. Now, our roof is of the utmost quality work for a reasonable price. Santos is an honest man, my quote never changed! He went above and beyond to make me happy with the work his people performed!! I'm extremely happy and satisfied! I already recommended Santos Martinez Roofing to all my family and friends!! Thank you all for exceeding my expectations!!"

"We had new windows installed January 2023 and ran into a problem with the window company completing our bay window standing seam metal roof that we requested. After over two months of waiting, I contacted Bill Jackson at Bill Jackson Roofing to see if he could get the roof completed. Bill came out right away and the roof was installed the following week. The installers were very professional and were very concerned that our design needs were met. We are EXTREMELY pleased with our bay window standing seam metal roof and the quality of work performed by Bill Jackson Roofing. I would definitely recommend calling Bill Jackson for your metal roof needs."

"Jerry arrived on time to offer the quote.   There was no pressure, but he offered us options from which we could select exactly what we wanted done.  They air sealed bypasses, replaced existing baffles, vented two bath fans through the roof, and open blow the attics to a depth of 6".  They took existing boards and  screwed them to the joists.  Then dammed the area that we wanted left for storage.
The workers arrived on time, were neat and professional answered any question we might have, instructed us on what they were going to do and later showed us what they had done.  Extremely courteous.  CLEANED UP the areas after they were finished.  They only took about a 10 minute lunch and immediately got back to work.
There is no better rating I can give them, if there were they would get it.
Yes I would definitely use them and or recommend them to my friends.

"We’re extremely pleased with the work done by Kline Home Exteriors. We began with a new roof and were so happy with the results that we added gutters and leaf guards as well. Everything was completed on schedule and looks excellent. Many thanks to Scott and the crews for a job well done!"

"Windows were good and in stalled was fine ,then business was sold and new owner was not responsive to a problem that arose with one window. A part broke and the new owner came out and said he would order the part. He set up an appointment for two weeks ahead at 12:00. He never showed. I called the guy 3 different times and he did not return calls. I called the past owner who got the pats for me but, I had to hire a third party to do the repair . The third party is on vacation and will do the work when he returns. The windows cost $2700.00. I expected better service then this. This is an update to my august review. After the previous review I received call from the owners assistant , she wanted to help correct the previous problem I had concerning a repair. The owner wanted to come out and correct the problem He came out ,got the parts that he needed and repaired the window . Any problem we had in the past has been corrected."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Oberlin, OH

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.
