"I cannot say enough good things about this company! First, we had them out to do some pre-inspection roof repairs on our home before we listed it for sale (so we wouldn't have any surprises later). I had called 4 roofers, and only RoofSavers came out on time, bid the work I requested, and sent a proposal within one day. After hiring them, they showed up on time and completed the work as promised. The next month, when it rained 4 days straight, we had a first-time-ever leak in our attic (which we attributed to having 4 roofing companies moving tiles and messing around up there a month before), and RoofSavers came out as a courtesy to do the simple fix. (It was not even an area they had worked on.) Problem solved! When our buyers had their own roof inspector out 2 months later and he listed general areas that he felt needed to be repaired--almost like he was trying to find SOMETHING to put in his report--RoofSavers stood by their initial inspection and the work they performed and prevented us from having anymore out-of-pocket expense. This company was polite on the phone, bent over backwards to help us in every situation, and had a good work ethic."

"Trevor Kuykendall & his brother Travis diagnosed the problem and did an excellent job remedying the situation. They cleaned the cable lines & performed a whole house 2 bath "Biosmart Drain Treatment." I have a 2 year warranty on the p trap and condensation drain in the garage & a 1 year warranty against sewer backups. They scrubbed the main line underneath the house and down all the roof vents. They camera inspected after the scrub and tested all drains & determined that all drains are now flowing properly. The work was performed over a 3 day period."

"Excellent. David and his crew, Nick and Lorenzo, were extremely professional, courteous, and prompt. David explained to me each detail of the repairs. They always cleaned up before leaving. I would definitely hire them again. If you are looking for roof repairs, recoating, or replacement, I highly recommend you contact the professionals at West Coast Roofing. The physical work went very well. West Coast Roofing announces on their website a 10% discount for new customers. This is allegedly included in the estimate but only as a kind of footnote at the very end of the estimate. The customer does not see exactly how the discount in included in the calculation of the estimate. Be aware."

"Our main installer was Jesus, and he carefully explained each step of the work and then went over all the information we would need to know. We are very happy with all three items, saving electricity with the SolaTube as we no longer have to turn lights on during the day in our Master bath dressing area, we hope that the Solar attic fan is helping to keep the house cooler by exchanging the air in the attic when it gets hot. In our small home office we replaced an old skylight with new double glass skylight with a shade system and this has made a big difference in the office. Sunshine Experts, LLC did a great job for us and we are very happy to recommend them when anyone asks us about our experience."

"One of the keys to success in business is customer service. Lyons roofing understands customer service. When I contacted them via Angie’s list, I was called within 2 days to discuss the issue with our roof. An appointment was made. I was also informed as to a possible future date when any possible needed work could be done. I received confirmation by email, as well as a telephone reminder. I was also informed of the time and the name of the representative coming. I was also informed promptly of a change in the representative who was coming. The rep called 30 minutes before arriving and was on time. He was polite, knowledgeable and did not try to sell me a service I did not need. A business gets full marks from me if they come when they say they will come, turn up on time and are professional in there interaction once they arrive. There is nothing worse than waiting all day for a business rep to turn up and at the end of the day there is a “no show”. A day wasted. So many businesses have no idea regarding customer communication and service. But Lyons roofing gets full marks for this."

"We had been looking around for someone to perform a little stucco repair work and we could not believe the price estimates we were getting. We came across Rancho Vistoso Handyman as a recommendation and could not be happier with the price and the results. Professional, courteous, decently priced, and proficient, Rancho Vistoso Handyman took care of our stucco needs and we will certainly be calling again in the future if the need arises. Thank you Rancho Vistoso Handyman!"

"We really needed the roof over our work shop and carport re-coated, as it hadn't been done in over six years. I asked for several estimates, and Erik from EH Handyman Services had the most reasonable bid by far.....very fair! Therefore, I selected him to provide the labor for the job, while I supplied all of the needed materials using a shopping list that Erik had provided for me. Erik properly prepared the surface of the roof before applying 2 heavy layers of roof coating material. The preparation included removing (and later replacing) some terra cotta trim tiles, and performing three-course re-sealing of the roof penetrations. The job turned out great, and I am highly satisfied with the quality of his work! While performing his work, Erik was timely, professional, friendly, respectful, trustworthy, very thorough, and patiently addressed all of my concerns, which gave me the peace of mind I needed! I plan to utilize his services again for some future projects around my home, and I highly recommend him to perform any work within his scope of experience, and he seems to be a highly versatile handyman! Thank you for everything, Erik!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Rillito, AZ

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.
