"Tallahassee Roofing crew came and tore off the old, damaged shingle roof. They repaired the damaged areas and installed a new metal roof. The crew was excellent and the office staff was also great. We would definitely hire this company again."

"Greg was very informative and had pictures of the products available to replace my old roof. He matched the shingles to a more recent shed that was built which was great. Responds promptly to text and kept me informed through the entire process. The crew working on my roof were very polite, hard working and you’d never know they had been to my house. I love my new roof and would recommend Greg and his team to anyone who is looking to replace their roof and reasonably priced. I can’t thank you guys enough for an amazing job you did!!!"

"The contract session was with Stephan Boyer. He was very through and informative. We knew exactly what we were getting and what to expect. Chris Renda and his crew showed up as promised. They showed up with all materials and immediately started work. The crew took no breaks and barely took time for lunch.. Chris Renda kept us infomed of everything going on.He found that our dormers had not been wrapped or waterproofed so he removed all the siding and began wrapping and waterproofing the dormers for us! The crew took 5 days of hard nonstop work installing our beautiful new patina green metal roof. We are completely satisfied! !

"I purchased a 55" plasma television that weighed 71 pounds and I wanted it mounted over my fireplace.  My fireplace has 3/4" cherry wood on top of concrete block so I needed someone knowledgeable with hanging something in both wood and concrete.  Jeff came out with a helper and they installed my TV mount using bolts that were not included with the mount since they felt they needed more substantial bolts for the installation.  The mount went up fairly easily but they had a little difficulty hanging the television, partly because they had very little room to work in since the television filled up almost the entire space between the side columns.  But when they got it in it was there to stay.  I feel very confident that the television is very secure and so is the mount.  They cleaned up and all that was left was for me to clean off fingerprints on the edges of the screen.  I had a special cleaner for that job so I did that.  I am very pleased."

"Good work, cleanup could have been better, much better. Did not meet contract obligations as far as cleanup. Salesman did not provide realistic time frame. Took 1 1/2 day longer than he said. Secretary called me one morning and asked me to be at house that afternoon to put up dogs because they were going to start the roof, so I took vacation time. She called about 2:30 and said they wouldn't make it till the next morning. The crew appeared at 7am the next morning and finished by noon. Did not clean up the red tab tar paper nails, and new roofing nails but did pretty good on old nails. We cleaned up about 3-4 dozen nails after they left. Team did half-hearted with magnetic nail pickup. Same thing happened after siding and window team showed up. Both small metal nails, staples and other trash. Again, we picked up nails because we did not want our dogs to get nails in paws. Salesman offered to send crew back the next day but it was too late. Still finding nails two months later; particularly after rain. They messed up the bill and ended giving me about 400+ off so I guess it worked out. contrary to contract, did want final payment prior to work being finished. Did not get it. Regardless of the hassles, they did great work. The workers were polite although they left too many cigarette butts; again, contrary to contract. Still waiting for them to pickup pallet in side yard from materials drop off. It sounds bad but they really did a great job and even prior to cleanup discount, had the best price and I think best materials. We are really happy with the windows. I would recommend them but would stress holding them to the contract."

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Ochlocknee, GA

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.
