"It was a smooth process from start to finish. They were knowledgeable in helping address gutter issues we had with our original setup and offered improvements that stopped the overflow issues we had been having. The team that replaced the roof was efficient and they were thorough in cleaning up when they were finished. I have recommended them to neighbors, and will likely use them again for future projects."

"Had siding done on my home and there had to be a different problem almost every step in the project head by Dean H - First after picking our siding wasn’t notified that the type of siding wasn’t Available on the day of projected work to start - so we where forced to pick different siding in a selection of maybe only 5 choices much different from the original 50 or so previous shown - in addition are start date was pushed back serval months - a window was also to be put in and no measurements where made - but again this was pushed back also and was giving only one choice of window - When the project was started mid way through Dean tryed to shake me down for additional money saying there wasn’t enough material and I requested only half the house to be done , - I asked him what kind of customer gets only have of a house sided !!??? I reminded him there was a contract sign for the whole house . And lo and behold there was plenty of material already present on the property - and then some . Dean simple wanted to rip me off . After it was done I never want to deal with Dean again - he wanted cash because he said he gets a cash commission? I think he was skimming probably being doing it for years -"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Sandwich, IL

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.
