"Very satisfied! Highly recommended!!! Perfectly! Mr. Rackley and his team knocked the roof out in less than a day! Clean up was spotless and no worries for nails with the powerful magnets they sweep the ground with after clean up. I am very happy I chose Rackley Roofing and am recommending them to my dad for his roof. You won't be disappointed!"

"From start to finish, this project was completely done with quality craftsmanship. The employees are very professional and attentive to my questions and needs. Once the installation was completed, they send a quality assurance manager to make sure everything was completed with perfection. Kit took his time and inspected every window. The crew showed up when they said they would and started immediately. I was very impressed with their work ethic and their ability to complete such a complex project in such a timely manner. I highly recommend this company for your house projects. I will be using them again and again!"

"The process was very Professional. Greg came out and evaluated my old shingles roof and gave me a price to install a new metal roof. He was very informative concerning my change over from a shingles roof to a metal roof. Greg explained the step by step installation process and the warranty that was included. After an agreement was confirmed, I was always notified with everything from the material drop off date and time to the actual installation date and any delays.. Will definitely use Southern Signature Solutions in the future for other Home Projects!! Wonderful Customer Service! Thank You Mr. Greg Carter And Crew!! MY NEW ROOF LOOKS GREAT!!"

"They were on time for the estimate and on time for the work that was performed. They removed my old shingles, tar paper, and vents and replaced them with new underlayment and GAF Timberline Shingles with new vents. The workers were efficient, knew what they were doing, worked extremely hard and long and did a great job. The project manager was on site much of the time and ready to answer any questions or respond to concerns. The new roof replaces one installed 19 years ago and the quality of the new roof greatly exceeds that of the previous roof. They cleaned up after they finished and did not destroy any flowers, shrubs, or plants. I would not hesitate to use them again."

"I had other estimates performed and the other 2 estimated an entire roof renovation which is coming our way. But Mr. Weaver confidently told me that he had them all beat before he even hit the driveway. His survey of the roof was similar to the others but he was the only one to say that it could be patched and if it were his roof he would do the same. He guaranteed that the repair would fix the problem of the leak and through hurricane Irma and the other storms that have come so far it has not leaked as promised. So instead of thousand of dollars Mr. Weaver charged less than $200 to hop up on the roof in the August heat and got it done himself."

"Kalahari Electrical Services are simply awesome.  From the first phone call to the final finished job, everything was done on time, on budget, professionally and to perfection!  I was given excellent advice by Jan and Joe, they provided the most up to the minute and technologically advanced fittings and installed everything I wanted on the same day.  None of this leaving at 4 pm to beat the traffic and then disappearing for days leaving my home in a mess!  I cannot speak highly enough of the Kalahari guys. Joe worked late, cleared up and left everything in pristine condition!  In fact my friends were so impressed  that one of them has had Joe do a job that someone else promised for weeks to do and never did it.  Joe did the job, fixed the problem and installed the fittings in a couple of hours!  As I said at the beginning they are awesome and I would highly recommend them if you want a truly professional honest job done.

"These guys were great. We started with a roof repair and upkeep Angie's list coupon, but they were very careful to look at our whole roof (now 20+ years old!). They explained everything that would need fixing and then let us decide about going ahead with a new roof. Let us take all the time we needed to decide. They were flexible with the schedule. Then, got that new roof on in less than 3 days. Clean-up was fabulous and follow-up fine. I would recommend them to anyone! Really great crew all around."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Redan, GA

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.
