"We hired Presidential Exteriors for our roof and are extremely happy with the process and results. Rodney, the insurance specialist, was friendly and professional while he walked me through the steps. Troy, the project manager, came by my house and explained what would happen in the following days. The materials were delivered on time, smoothly, and safely. Installation crews arrived at my house on time at 7 am, and the whole process (about 3000 sqft roof) from installation and cleaning was completed around 3 pm. The following day, Troy returned to review the details and get my signature. I don't hesitate to recommend this business to anyone considering their exterior house projects!"

"We hired Pierpoint Construction to finish our basement, which resulted in approximately 1,500 sq. ft of finished living space.  The finished area included a main room with a gas fireplace with a stone surround, two smaller rooms (bedroom/study), a bar area, and a full tiled bath room.  The project also included adding cabinets in our laundry room that match our kitchen cabinets.
We had a good idea of the design we wanted, but on the initial consultation Todd listened our ideas and then gave us tips that improved the basement design.  During the build out, the shower placement turned out to have some complications.  Todd suggested that we rotate and enlarge our shower to better use the space.  His suggestion greatly improved the bathroom layout and did not change our cost.  
Todd, the Pierpoint crew, and their contractors are excellent craftsmen.  In addition to doing an excellent job, they also cleaned up the job site every night and were very respectful of our home.  At the time, we were living in the home and had small children, so having a safe and clean work area (after hours) and not having debris tracked through the house made the process very pleasant. We were (and are still) very pleased with the job completed by Pierpoint Construction.  We would hire them again and recommend them every chance we get.
We have not undertaken any large remodeling jobs, since we completed our basement.  But we have called on Pierpoint Construction for routine maintenance, and have been very pleased with the way Pierpoint Construction handled our routine maintenance.

"We obtained several quotes for a full roof and gutter replacement on a Cape Cod (i.e., small house with small roof), and Lumbee was competitively priced. Additionally, we liked Darren's professionalism and expertise. The crew was great, the work was completed quickly, and Darren and his office staff were responsive and communicative. There were a few minor things that needed to be fixed after the fact, and Darren personally came over and took care of them himself."

"Wow. So it always starts with Ryan Craft, an amazing bundle of positive energy and professionalism who comes to your house, walks your property and roof, and quite honestly, "owns" the project in a way that you know every aspect is being handled the right way. As you get close, and throughout the project, he will text and email you to make sure everything is handled the right way and you are satisfied. The team you deal with re project management, scheduling, billing, and leading the crew (Caitlyn, Kandi, Nicole, Denise, Tina, Mike, roofing lead Donnie and more that I know I am forgetting) are so so helpful. But the work? Amazing - for example, my house roof has a very large and tall porch gazebo that's very difficult to re-shingle, and they not only did a great job, but asked my permission to manufacture a "better" top for it ("not" part of the project, but they thought it would be cool). They replaced a wood "stump" that stuck out the top with a perfectly formed color matching cone that looks amazing! When one smaller project was completed (trim around the garage doors) and I saw some areas where the metal was curving, Peak management came out and said not only was that going to be repaired, he thought they could have done a better job matching the color - and said if i didn't mind, they would re-do the entire project! He was right! The new color was fantastic, and they didn't even have to do that. If you are thinking of a roof, siding, gutters, etc and a competition comes in with a better price, I submit that you will get what you pay for. The 12 or so years I have partnered with Peak for my projects, I haven't been paying "just" for the cost of material or labor. I've been paying for the kind of customer service you rarely experience these days."

Working with William Mackay roofing was a great experience.  I knew from my home inspection that I needed to have a membrane sealed on my roof. I called three roofers before the winter and during early spring and every one of them was slow to get back to me, or just not very informative, would charge for the estimate, etc...

I called William Mackay based on the Angies List service reviews and I was not disappointed.  They contacted me immediately through the app.  They were available and they arrived on time.  They provided a free estimate, took photos of my roof, and shared them with me. They showed me exactly what needed to be done and they were straightforward - they did not try to sell services I didn't need.

When I inquired about scheduling, they had space on that day's schedule - they immediately called a worker in and got to work on my roof. The maintenance was completed in a few hours. They took photos of the completed work and emailed both "before" and "after" photos with an in-depth explanation  of the completed work.

Ben and Bill Mackay (sons of William) handled the job. Ben Mackay shared information on how to maintain my roof.  I'm a new homeowner and I bought a well-maintained house that is almost a century old. He shared info on the difference between newly constructed roofs and the materials used, and roofs like mine.  Bill managed the job.

I paid a fair price but more importantly, I know that I can call them and they will do a great job.  They also stand behind their work. Family owned businesses are important - they rely on word of mouth and repeat business.  Highly recommend.

"He took pictures of the roof areas that needed to be fixed and gave me a fair quote on the spot. He went right to work and was very professional. One suggestion I have is to contact him directly via phone instead of using the Angie's List messaging system. He was very responsive by phone. Thanks Chris for fixing the roof! We'll definitely call you in the future."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Quantico, VA

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.
