"I received a proposal, with pricing, very promptly. A date for the work was quickly agreed upon: the three-person roofing team arrived as agreed and on time. They worked quickly and smoothly, finishing by mid-day, cleaning up the work site as necessary. I watched the process throughout. These were craftsmen who, most notably, seemed to enjoy the work they were doing. Obviously they had a lot of experience in working together as a team since everything was done so efficiently. They did not just re-caulk cracks around the roof penetrations, but rather, removed tiles two to three feet back from each penetration, replacing underlayment, and resealing everything. A leak of many years has already passed a heavy rain test. Extra work above and beyond the original proposal was needed and completed. When I offered to pay more Sun Rise refused! This is unheard of care for the customer. I couldn't be more satisfied. This is a great company to deal with."

"Alfonzo, Adam, and Daniel were a dream to work with! Alfonzo ensured a seamlessly process with Adam working with the insurance company as the estimator, easing the pain of a roof replacement! Daniel and his crew did beautiful work and were careful and respectful of the property! They cleaned up everything and were kind enough to rid us of that clunky satellite dish!! Work was completed in a timely manner that did not impede normal traffic flow on the street. The thought of getting money back just shows how considerate they are for the customer. A great small business that is highly recommended for roofing and other jobs for the house!! A huge thanks to all involved!!"

I want to start thanking Jose for being such a honest person and taking the time of explaining every little thing they had get done in my roof without me asking for it since the beginning of the process.He also make sure everything was done right and making sure his crew was working every day.I’ll truly recommend this roofing company if you are looking for an honest, affordable and good company.

"Complete re-stucco on single story home with walled courtyard. 15 year old home with original bad stucco job which was beginning to fail. Couldn't be happier and house looks great. All hand applied and can really tell the difference. Crew was wonderful and really cleaned up with no debris left. Will call these guys again for other home repairs. Very reasonable price for quality job well done."

"They did a great job. Quick, professional and great value for the quality of work. The job had very difficult access issues, cleanup required carrying material a long distance down a steep hill. Some contractors would not even bit on the job due to access issues. Green Mountain had no problem. This was a old roof from the 1970's and had a number of patches and attempted fixes which were not of high quality. Green Mountain cleaned off all the old roofing, and noted that the original roof had a design flaw that caused bad drainage. They suggested an easy fix which added several new outlets for water. Their suggestions were a great idea and I had them do that also. They also patched and repainted the inside water damage areas. Their work was such that I no longer even notice that there was water damage which is exactly what I wanted. I would highly recommend them."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Albuquerque, NM

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.
