"I signed up with Angie's List just to leave this review for Mike and his crew. If anyone is reading this its because you, like myself, want to make sure you find that right company to handle your project. Im a handy man myself and due to recent issues I could not complete my project myself. I needed to find a company that perform the way I would if I myself were to do the job. Lots of contractors out there hire the cheapest labor money can buy and in return the homeowner suffers. Had about 9 people come out to give estimates and if someone had no idea about roofing estimates, these guys were out for blood. All sales pitches and over pricing and couldn't start the job for weeks if not months later. Mike sat with me and went over all the details, was extremely fair with pricing, not over priced but spot-on to market value. Cleared his schedule and took my job the following week. He uses ones of the best material systems out there for roofing. His crew has been with him for many years if not decades, professional, well-mannered, friendly and last but least, clean. I did not have to pick up anything. They cleaned, swept and hauled away everything. Put everything back exactly how I had it, if they were not sure, they asked me. The wife did not have to worry about any of her plants or ornaments being damaged. They had the job done in 2 days and the dogs out playing in the yard middle of day 2. House looks amazing, proof is in the details. Everything done to spec and then some. Thank you. Hope this eases your concerns as you look through different contractors out there. This one is a rare find- give em a call you wont be disappointed."

"We just had Scarpone and Sons replace our roof in the middle of winter!! They chose the perfect day to rip off the existing roof and replace it in a little over a day. Lucky for us it stopped snowing just long enough for them to do what they do. They were efficient, fast, and did an excellent job. The roof no longer leaks and we are so happy! I highly recommend them to do YOUR roof. In fact we recommended them to a couple that were thinking of replacing their roof."

"We had quite a bit of winter damage from a leaking roof and Jay repaired everything. There was nothing he could not do. During the five week job, he repaired or replaced drywall and insulation, roof tiles, removed damaged wallpaper, painted and even took care of mold! He was professional, trustworthy and very pleasant. in addition his prices were very reasonable. I trust him completely and would not hesitate to hire him again."

"I cannot say enough about what a great experience it has been to work with this company. From the communication, to the process, to the price. We needed a new roof for our home. Anthony, the owner, who is a very pleasant and likeable person, came to our house to perform the estimate. He didn’t try to dazzle us with how much he knows about roofing or imtimidate us with lingo we wouldn’t have any hope of understanding. Instead, my wife and I had a very nice discussion with him on what we needed, and Anthony laid out the plan for how it would go. When the big day came, the crew arrived right when they said they would, and courteously informed me of the plan for the day’s job. My wife and I both happened to have the day off so we were home for the entire roofing job. They covered up all of the windows, worked tirelessly throughout the day, and cleaned up perfectly afterward. Anthony came by a few days later to personally inspect the job his crew had done, and collect the final payment. Throughout the entire process, Anthony was very communicative and did everything he said he was going to do. I simpny cannot recommend WNY Roofing strongly enough. If you need a new roof, don’t even bother calling anyone else, just call them! Thank you so much for doing a wonderful job."

"Tom & his crew did an outstanding job! They were very professional, personable, courteous and efficient. When I first contacted him, he came out promptly, discussed the job in detail and quoted a very reasonable price. Once the work commenced, the roof was replaced in one day except for an hour of follow up the following morning. My wife and I were extremely pleased and also planned on having him replace a roof on our rental property at a later date. When the job was completed, Tom suggested that we replace the gutters and also added that they don't do gutter work. I agreed with Tom and contacted another contractor to replace my gutters. When the gutter contractor started their work, they pointed out a potential problem and suggested I discuss it with the roofer before they continue the job. Once done, they would come back and complete the gutters. I agreed and contacted Tom. Over the course of over two weeks Tom & I sporadically exchanged phone calls. He explained that he was busy which is completely understandable and that he would get back to me and check out the problem. He did not return phone calls as promised nor did he take the time to check out the potential problem. Therefore, we had the gutters completed without his input. Since we were so pleased with the roof installation this was a disappointment to us. Despite this, I would use Storm Roofing again and I will continue to recommend them. I'm just sorry he couldn't take a half hour out of his time and check out a possible problem for us."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Orchard Park, NY

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.
