"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."

"Shai was great at giving me recommendations for my strange patio leak. He had his crew weatherproof my window at no charge the next day. I thought he had great recommendations and he could have saved me lots of money if I'd found him earlier. I will be calling upon him to do projects for me in ithe future. Very impressed."

"They were quick and efficient getting the job done, and there were no overruns on cost. The clean up job was good. The stucco at the edge of the roofline needed some patching and they did a great job of color matching for us. More than six months since the work was done and we're thrilled to with the work. Thanks, Alvarado Roofing!"

"Roofing USA met or exceeded our expectations on knowledge, service, product, and price for our new TPO roof. The crew was respectful, professional, put tarps down on our yard, and picked up every scrap of material before the job was done. I'd highly recommend them to anyone needing a quality new flat roof."

"SunPro scheduled my appointment and their in house crew showed up on time and installed my panels professionally. Later that day their electrical crew connected my panels to my existing electrical panel. Everyone whom I've dealt with with this company has been helpful and knowledgeable.  Everything was clean, complete and I'm happy with the job.

We first hired Painting Solutions via a special deal on Angie's List - 8 hours of painting for $199.  Ricardo and Enrique were at our house at the agreed upon time.  Though Enrique does not speak much English, Ricardo explained to him what needed to be done before leaving for another job.  Enrique was very focused on his work and worked diligently to complete the job on time.  His work was excellent.  He was neat and cleaned up the work area when he was done. 

We were so pleased with the work that we hired Painting Solutions to also paint the ceilings throughout most of our house.  Ricardo did ask us to change the initially agreed upon date for the service, but did so in a polite and professional manner.  We were able to accommodate the requested delay.  There was also a bit of confusion re: the start time on the day of the job, but Enrique was at our house at the time he thought he was supposed to be here.  The job had been estimated to take a day and a half, but Enrique completed the job in only one day.  He was thorough, checked his work and did an overall excellent job.

We would definitely use Painting Solutions again and would recommend them to others.  They seem to be a very organized and professional company.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Santa Fe, 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.
