"Additional work was needed after this patio roof was found to have been only nailed to the main structure’s roof, not screwed. Allied identified the problem, quoted repair, completed the work, and checked and rechecked for quality. We are very satisfied with their attention, promptness, consideration, thoroughness, and professionalism."

"Very good and honest company. I checked with approximately 5 different roofing companies around Ascension and Assumption parish and Tony won the job for his professionalism, expertise, honesty and best price(even with the current high prices). Every question I asked was met with a clear answer. They are very confident in the materials they use. My roof has been on for a few months now and not a single issue. In addition to that they showed up on time and made extremely quick work of my roof to the point my neighbors were in awe. I will be recommending them to friends and family."

"John Wells of J &W Roofing was recommended by friends after replacing their roof. When we contacted him, he arrived and viewed our roof and provided a bid. He was the low bidder of three companies. His roofers arrived when he said they would come. They worked hard for two days and cleaned up after they were through. We recommended him to another friend and he replaced their roof a week later. They were also very satisfied with his work."

"I am selling my house and needed to repair my roof as a condition of sell to the potential buyers.  Hiring Mr. Hills has been the one of best experiences of my house selling experience. He was clearly the best person that I hired to do home improvements and
repairs on my home.  It was very difficult to find a licensed contractor to do a ?small? roof job for me.  I called and emailed a number of people and companies and was either turned down or never received a response to my message.  I called Mr. Hills in the
afternoon and he called me back within an hour. We set an appointment for the next morning and he arrived right on
time.  He and his assistant listen to what I wanted done, he gave me an extremely reasonable estimate and they got directly to work.  They did an excellent job and I am extremely please with the outcome. Both men were very friendly and I felt bad that I was delaying them from moving on because I enjoy talking with them. Bottom line: I give the strongest positive recommendation to Bobby Hills.  He is professional, personable and does excellent work.

"They did a good job installing insulation, drywall, doorframes and doors, and molding. The floating and painting was professional as well. Because they were coming from Baton Rouge, the traffic ate into their time on the job. This caused the project to take longer than we’d hoped. Over all, an honest and professional business. I wish them the best."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Saint Gabriel, LA

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.
