"We took three bids and decided to take a fourth bid from Roeslers Roofing and Remodeling. We called on a Saturday and talked with the president of the company. He said he could have someone on Monday for an estimate. Price was very important, and Roeslers Roofing worked with us to get a very competitive price. We finalized discussions that Wednesday. Generally the crew would have started at 9:00 AM, but at our tenants' request, this was moved out to 10:00. I arrived on site at 10:00 and the crew was ready to go. The job completed earlier than estimated, and we are completely satisfied with Roeslers Roofing. Would recommend and use again because of the professionalism of the president and all crew."

"I was fortunate in choosing LOA in Houston to represent me when I had my insurance company come out after a hail storm to assess the condition of my roof. I specifically have to thank Andrew S. who went through 3 inspections before my insurance company agreed to replace it. To Andrew’s credit, his persistence and skill over a period of 2 months finally resulted in my insurance company (known for denying claims) agreeing to a full replacement. If you ever have an insurance company come to assess your property after a storm they often have third party companies doing the work of assessing damage and almost always deny your claim. You should always have a roofing company representative there for you during an inspection since they know what to look for and can convince the adjuster that your claim is valid. I was about to spend $16K to replace my 20-year old roof but thanks to Andrew I only had to pay my deductible."

"I was impressed from the very beginning. Very trustworthy, professional and is second to none. Made my best decision of the year to go with Trinity Roofing and Restoration. I would strongly recommend them for any renovations from top to bottom of your house. Made my house that looked like a earthquake shook it from the heat of the Texas sun look like a brand new house. Forever thankful"

"After I had my first shed (approximately 250 sq ft) converted successfully from a tool shed to a tiny home with a loft by GC Squared Roofing, I saved some money and contacted that company again to do my second shed. The first shed was for my gf. This one was for me. This was going to be my home gym. The second shed was actually two sheds connected together. So much larger than the first as this one was approximately 400 sq ft. As a novice boxer, I knew what I wanted to have in the gym. Heavy bag, speed bag, pull-up bar and free space for weight training. With the amount of space we had all of those items were able to be spaced out to where they were each in corners creating their own "stations." And all of this is just in the back half of my shed. We still had the front half that wound up becoming a carpeted space for a big screen tv and recumbent exercise bike. All of these items were again completed on time and on budget. I had no idea Gary's Roofing company was able to do these types of home improvement projects. I have now used him twice and will definitely be recommending him to family and friends. I almost forgot to mention that Gary was able to take an unused open-ended side shed and convert that to storage. He actually kept my old barn style door from my first shed and repurposed it to be the front door to the shed. He added a ramp shelves and lattice to make it a functional storage shed/work space. Folks, you have nothing to lose by calling Gary's team to come out and do a walk through of your special projects with you. I gave him a few ideas and he helped me craft the rest of the vision using my existing budget. Call him now. RJR"

"After the 100+ temperature week we had in San Antonio, our AC struggling to cool, so we finally gave in and decided to make a call for insulation. We could feel the heat in the walls form the sun, so we spoke to Manuel at Insulation Works asking for a quote for wall insulation. He explained that while he could install insulation in the walls, it was likely not the problem, he suspected it was really our attic that needed insulation. He came to our home and gave us a quote for the walls and the attic. The attic had 2-4 inches of insulation while CPA recommends 13.5 inches. Our attic definitely needed some attention too. He explained how the walls cost much more to insulate but he really thinks we could get the best value just doing the attic which will not only cost less but would also cool the entire house, not just the rooms we added the wall insulation to. He explained how if we got attic insulation, we may not even want wall insulation, so he recommended we wait on the walls, and he could come back later if we decided we still wanted them done. The team, Manuel and Mari, came over and got to work within 2 days. They were both so very nice, friendly and professional. They wrapped my furniture and the floors to protect it from any dust or damage. They even brought corner protectors to protect my walls from any potential damage. They had all the professional machinery and tools needed to get the attic done quickly and correctly. In the end I had 17-18 inches of insulation in my attic. They quickly cleaned up and even vacuumed although there was not much of any mess I could even see. The team worked with me on filling out the rebate from CPS and even worked it out from our estimate. We didn't even know there was a rebate available. It felt like we were dealing with family even though we didn't know them before we made that call. We immediately felt a difference in the house and now that it's the day after it's amazing how much cooler the house is, and my AC is not having to work so hard. I don't even feel like the walls needed to be insulated anymore! He was right! There are so many companies that would have jumped at the chance to just charge me for the walls and attic, but Manuel was so honest it really blew us away. If we decide later, we want to add insulation to the walls we know exactly who we will be calling. If anyone needs any insulation work done, we definitely recommend Insulation Works!"

"We had a direct lightening hit on our house. Called Action Roofing who responded quickly. During consultation we also asked for plywood to be added to attic floor so we can use for storage space. Roof was fixed first on 2/17/15. For attic work, plywood was left stacked on the attic floor. They came back a different day on 3/8/15 to finish attic work. No complaints on work done. If anything, there was some roof debris found around the house on the lawn that my husband had to pick up and clean up."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in San Antonio, TX

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.
