"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."

"It's an amazing conversion when you go from 35 year builders grade, single pane, aluminum windows most of which don't operate at all to new, solid vinyl, energy efficient, sound efficient,etc. windows. We know the old ones let in dust, sounds, heat, cold and UV. We're now living in the 21st century. I completely thank Titan Windows, Mike, Chris and Steve's terrific installation team for making it a pleasure rather than an expensive nightmare.

Aug.2014:
In March 2015 I got back with Mike at Titan because I had 3 front windows from 6 years ago by a different company which did not fair the winter. They sweated and you could feel cold wind blow right through them. We didn't make them part of the 2014 Titan project because we had been satisfied with them over the original windows they replaced. They were double-paned, aluminum windows. Mike was very fair about doing the three as a small job add-on to my original Titan job. I got the same great treatment, service and quality I got with the larger job. They were here and gone in under three hours. Our air conditioner/heater runs far less. The house is 95 percent quieter. Our electric and gas bills are less than they would have been. These windows are smooth sliding, solid product. Titan is a good company with ethics from the top down. They do what they promise when they promise to have it done."

"DAV Construction was hired to replace a damaged roof and gutters. They did a professional job of discussing the bid with me. However, this was more than a roofing job. I had an issue with water seeping through my second floor brick that continued to damage my interior and patio cover. We all thought it was a poor trim installation. Alex took a hard core position of helping me correct the problem. We had to repair any openings in the existing brick and applied a water sealant. I even had a phone call several months later after a heavy rain storm to see if we had any visible leaks. All was good and the extra effort was was high on the scale of taking care of the customer. I would personally recommend Alex and his team to anyone."

"We were delighted with the service we received from Integrity Roofing & Siding. Gary, the Residential and Commercial Consultant, provided us with a thorough quotation that included property photographs, roof dimensions, recommended materials and timeframe for completing the project. The pricing estimates were aligned with our insurance estimates. We were comfortable submitting this professionally prepared quotation to our insurer and HOA (which required a 30-day notice). Lisa, the Finance Manager, let us know what to expect and provided documentation to our insurer. Materials were delivered the day prior to the start of the project. The next day the team of roofers laid out a protective tarp surrounding our property and began working. The Production Manager, Fernando, introduced himself, and provided a business card which included his mobile number. The project was concluded in an efficient manner and the cleanup of debris was thorough. Workmanship is guaranteed and the new roof looks great!"

"

Most area roofers are working on roofs in San Antonio and DFW now. I had a referral roofer from Lon Smith company who estimated $250.and never returned 3 phone calls to confirm that he would be here at the specific time needed. Timothy's name was given to us by a good friend retired construction guy. Timothy had done a great job on replacing his (and many neighbors) roof. This was a unique situation and Timothy worked hard to make the repair correctly.

He is a delightful man, very professional and knowledgeable with great experience in many trades. When I need to have my roof replaced (which he brought down evidence of damage) we will assuredly use him. We are also considering having him look at a project of taking in our attic for additional living space and he was conversant in those details.

We give him highest marks and it was a pleasure having him in and on our home.

"Very knowledgeable and honest about heat damage in our attic and they taught us so much about the importance of how replacing the roof and adding insulation would improve the longevity of all of the attic components. Installation was completed in a day and the clean up was impeccable. Grateful for the quality of products and the amazing warranty that will greatly improve the value of our home!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in San Marcos, 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.
