"I originally contacted the provider only to remove a clog in one downspout, He told me that what I "really needed" was a gutter tune-up, and I agreed because I believed that was the correct name for the service. I signed the gutter tune-up contract based on his explanation of what the service included. However, the work performed did not match the scope listed on the contract. Only partial cleaning, clearing one clog, trimming a few gutter ends, sealing one seam, replacing one elbow (a 5$ part), and adding screws to downspouts (which were mine) were completed. Clearing a clog is part of a standard gutter cleaning, so this should not have been treated as a separate or premium service. Several required tune-up tasks were not done, including repairing a hole in the gutter seam and fixing a visible gap between the gutter and house above the crawlspace door. I pointed these issues out, but the provider either said he "did not see" the gap or claimed the hole required full gutter replacement, even though both are standard repair items included in a tune-up. Not all seams were sealed, miters, or endcaps. Not all gutters aligned or reinforced. Dirt was also left behind- not a thorough cleaning was done. Despite the incomplete work and missing contract items, I was charged $700 without an itemized invoice. The service delivered did not match the contract I signed or the tune-up he represented."

"Steve O. and crew did a great job installing my roof. My initial review stated a window screen and patio furniture cover were torn during the removal of the old roof. At the time I completed the first review I was waiting for complete resolution before providing 5 stars. Steve O. is a great project manager that promptly resolved the issues. I appreciate his follow up and thorough resolutions. Great job! If possible, I would like to remove the first review. Thank you for the opportunity to provide this feedback."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Pinehurst, NC

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.
