"My patio roof has been leaking for a couple of years. We have cement shingles which are very difficult to repair. I saw Thurman Roofing and Construction on Angie's List. People who had used them left some good comments regarding their work results. I called them and Cody Thurman came in a day. He reviewed my problem and gave me a quote for the work. I accepted the offer. Within a few days his brother, Chad, brought a crew to my house and started work on the roof. After two days they finished reroofing the patio and I am so very happy with the the job they did, it was excellent. I was also very impressed with Cody and Chad. They are so very friendly and understanding of the work to be done. If you need roofing work done, I strongly recommend Thurman Roofing."

Residential & commercial repairs, roofing, same-day real estate roofing inspections, re-roofing & new construction

"My roof, my yard & neighbor’s yard is a mess thanks to JC Roofing. Dec 2021 they tarped my house. After a few months the tarp disintegrated and shredded blowing debris everywhere. I asked JC Roofing to it from my roof and the electrical lines. They left the huge tarp in a big messy unsightly pile on my roof. That was over 3 months ago. furthermore, JC Roofing committed to file documents required by my lender to finance the new roof. They never submitted the documents so I have been unable to replace the roof. I have called and texted many times for months. They always say they are going to take care of it but never do. I have lost trust in this company and get no results when trying to deal with them."

Roofing Contractor

"Absolutely would not recommend using Four Seasons Roofing of Chico. He was recommending by a reputable general contractor, so we felt he was the right choice. We needed to replace our tile roof that had failed. Because time was of the essence, the rainy season was upon us and he was willing to move us to the head of his schedule, we accepted his bid. We had a trip to Hawaii planned for the same week and he talked us into leaving our house in his hands, "I will take care of your house like it is my own!" He did anything but. Not once did he came by to check on his under qualified roofers. His son watched the job, and was rarely on sight. (We watched on our cameras). They did such a poor job it has taken three months to fix the problems, like insufficient roof vents, more had to be added, roofing over some of the gutters, sloppy painting of wood that had to be replaced, and irreparable damage to our deck by the workers dragging roofing materials across the top. And finally, there was venting incident which could have burned our house down. We still have to wait until August 2025 to see some of the buckling shingles will lay down or be replaced, and he is insisting on full payment while we wait. This job has been a nightmare!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Princeton, CA

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.
