"Excellent experience from start to finish. Carlos and his crew did an amazing job on our siding project. Josh the project manager even climbed under the house when the project was done because we were concerned about water damage from the previous old siding. Highly reccomend!"

"We hired Graves to redo our 20+ year old roof after it began leaking. The entire process from initial quote to install was very professional. Our project coordinator did a great job at communicating throughout the entire process and made sure our yard and driveway were clean after install. Overall the experience with Graves was great and I would recomend."

Customers say: Quality work

"I would highly recommend American Roofing & Remodeling. The job came out perfect and the guys that work for American Roofing were very nice and above all were very neat and tidy. They left the outside of my house looking better than when they got there. The price that I received from the start was very fair and he assured me he would be using the best materials he could. This was very important to me since I am perfectionist. They are by far the best roofing and siding company I have ever worked with. I total thumbs up for American Roofing & Siding."

"A job well done. They were communicative, efficient and fast. The qoute for the project was reasonable for the amount of work and damage being repaired. I was in the know from when materials were ordered to the delivery ETA. Once the materials were dropped off at my house, construction started a few days later. And any questions i had was answered and explained. I'll definitely hire for another project."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Perkasie, PA

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.
