"Patriot roofing is an outstanding company. They weren’t the cheapest but as the saying goes you get what you pay for. From our salesman Levi, the crew(Alan and his crew) to the final inspection with Eb...they were all professional, courteous and hard working. The roof turned out even better than expected and our property was treated with respect and left as if no one had been there. Thanks again and we will recommend you to anyone we know that needs a roof."

"The team reacted very quickly to our call. After a quick inspection they found that the attic wasn’t properly vantilated. The roof ridge vents were all replaced and additional vents were install. All was done in a timely and professional manner, and at a reasonable cost. It took only a few days for the attic to completely dry, and the change in air flow was well noticed."

"Eco Roofs did a great job getting a new metal roof up on my cabin before the snow started this winter. They came in with the lowest bid which was for a cheaper metal roof that used exposed fasteners and upgraded me to a better roof without exposed fasteners. The crew worked through rainy conditions on a slick 12/12 cedar shake roof doing the tear off with speed and professionalism. They also were very thorough installing the new roof with an eye for detail and a pride of workmanship. They were all very friendly and took the time to address my questions and concerns. I could not ask for better service and I felt like I made some new friends with all the Eco Roofing installers and staff."

"Had Alice and Miranda come out and were fantastic. We are not going to start our new roof project yet. But they were so great, gave us all the information and more! Not to mention had great attitudes. Trying to make sure we are getting the best price for everything we are looking for. For sure when we start this project we are going to use Dabella!"

"Larry explained to me why the roof was leaking. The material the roofer used was the wrong type. The previous roofer used composite shingles, but the roof on my carport has a very mild slope, so it needs to be covered with a tar roof. Larry charged me less for this good roof than the sham roofer charged me over ten years ago. Angies list was not around back then. Larry also did some work on my house roof a few months before this work. i need to find my receipts so i can write a review about that.

"They did ok. Had the wrong color gutter and then made me wait 4 hours while they went to get correct color without letting me know it was going to be that long. Had to return the next day to complete but did a good job for the most part."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Shelton, WA

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.
