"What an amazing job Mike and his crews did for us. He install a gorgeous 10X20 new deck with stair. We were amazed about how professional and knowledgeable Mike is. I would recommend Prime Construction in a blink of an eye to anyone looking to re-do or install a new deck. Thank you Mike."

"a leak It went very well ,they were very good at their craft and did a great job. My house looks like a newly constructed home. I did however have a problem with a leak that developed after the job was complete,in a joint in the roof . I never had a leak before and know that whatever was done during construction that joint in my roof was disturbed and allowed water to come into my home.
  After several attempts to seal the leak ,king quality was successful at stopping the water from entering at that joint in the roof.
    It took over a year to finally stop and fix the problem. Dimitri, who is the forman finally helped complete the process.

"They first came out to check my gutters. They were giving me a free estimate and just noticed a tennis ball stuck in gutter. They didn't even charge me for it. I then pointed out a leak in one of the bedrooms. They saw it was due to a flashing pipe. They fixed it.

They were very nice, didn't rush me. They were very patient and professionally. Definite happy I found them. They are coming again today to replace another flashing pipe.

"The 35-yr old roof of our co-op tenement building was failing after years of patches and temporary fixes. Several contractors  proposed installing a modern thermoplastic commercial roof sealing layer over the old roof.   We also had a few other jobs that needed doing on the roof. Vandelay's proposal and pricing were competitive yet realistic.  *Everything* for the job had to be approved by the co-op Board; Bob was extremely patient and diligent about answering all questions, explaining and personally demonstrating to Board members what work would be done.  When worked was finally Board-approved,it proceeded quickly and finished within the promised time frame. Our roof is now leakproofed withe a 30-year guarantee, we have a nice new skylight, and our rain drain is working again.  .

"Totally responsive and professional. Expensive? Yes, but these guys cleared my roof in less than 24 hours from when I called. Saved me $$$ by avoiding interior water damage from ice damming.

Troy Zaro was totally responsive each time I called. His crew showed up within five minutes of when promised.

We have specimen landscaping. The crew was very mindful of where they put the snow and ice.

I could not be happier!

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Sloatsburg, NY

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.
