"Excellent experience from start to finish. Carlos and his crew did an amazing job on our siding project. Josh the project manager even climbed under the house when the project was done because we were concerned about water damage from the previous old siding. Highly reccomend!"

"Right from the beginning Frankie stood out from the other contractors. First, he was very respectful and courteous. And secondly, the first thing he did was ask if he could go into the attic. He explained that he could see any issues and leaks that caused damage. Because of this we knew how many sheets of plywood would need to be replaced. No surprises. The estimate was was done on the spot and very thorough and well prepared. We waited days for the other estimates. The job start was delayed about a week by weather. But when it was time to start he and his crew hit it hard. Working sun up into dark to get the job done. Once started the job was completed on schedule like he said. The job site was kept clean and orderly and Frankie was always available for any questions I had. As a retired heavy construction foreman in NYC with 30 years experience I was impressed with how well organized his operation was. I would use him again and would definitely recommend him to others.

"We hired Graves to redo our 20+ year old roof after it began leaking. The entire process from initial quote to install was very professional. Our project coordinator did a great job at communicating throughout the entire process and made sure our yard and driveway were clean after install. Overall the experience with Graves was great and I would recomend."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Saylorsburg, PA

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.
