"We cannot say enough great things about Eastern Roofing. Eric was our pro, and his communication and helpfulness were amazing. The siding project went exactly as planned, and our house looks brand new. Eastern installed board & batten siding to highlight some of the vertical aspects of our home. Professional, clean, and the price was very reasonable. If you need siding, call Eastern. Thank You to Rich, Brian, and Eric. Great guys, great job, great company."

"My ceilings starting leaking during some heavy rainstorms in my area. After some frantic phone calls to roofing companies, Roofx responded right away and even sent someone out on a Saturday to look at my roof. There was a hole in my roof and due to it being old slate tile, it couldn't be repaired. The Roofx team was amazing, especially Tiffany, Ron, and Mark. It took about two weeks to schedule them to come out to replace my roof, due to financing and having to wait for a break in the weather. But my new roof was done in one day and they did an amazing job."

"What a great company. Very professional. From the estimate right through to the completed roofing job everything was first rate. Cleanup was excellent. Other than having a new roof, wouldn't have known they were there. I would recommend Amazed Roofing to everyone."

"     Hiring First Choice Roofing was one of the BEST decisions we ever made! We did have a big problem to solve - the metal roof on our home had been improperly installed by another contractor 12 years ago and leaked terribly. Over the years we tried unsuccessfully to have it repaired. 
     David Woodruff was extremely professional and reliable. He immediately diagnosed the problem areas of our roof and presented a solid solution that was sensible, logical and affordable. He always responded immediately to all of our emails and phone calls. His employees were courteous, focused and hardworking, and the job was completed in a timely fashion.
     
     Problem solved! New vents were installed in each of the three sections of our home and every single screw was replaced to ensure a sturdy and weather-tight application. Our roof has not leaked since and we couldn't be happier. We highly recommend First Choice Roofing!!!

"Mike and his crew did a very nice job with our condo renovation. He was always easy to work with and accommodated our design requests as well as scheduling. He uses quality sub-contractors, particularly his tile installers and hardwood floor refinishers, both of whom did superior work. We were pleased with the final product and the pricing was reasonable compared to other contractors for the work we needed."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Pocono Pines, 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.
