"It went marvelously. I waited to write this review until we got a good rain and heavy snow fall. June 2019, Stegman Roofing tore off two layers of roofing and replaced about 5 sheets of plywood sheeting and then laid down an ice and water shield and then tiger paw underlay and then "lifetime" true definition shingles. It looks great. Then, late spring, 2019, rain, lots of rain; still no leaks. Then, December 2019, came a snow storm that laid down more snow than any single storm has in the 25 years we've lived here--18". The snow stayed on the roof for over a week; still no leaks. His workers installed our new roof with such care they said is the same care they would give to their own grandmothers' roofs. How sweet and comforting that was to hear, and, after getting to know the workers, I believe they were sincere, truly sincere. NO LEAKS WHAT SO EVER! Now I should be happy with this new roof for the rest of my "lifetime.""

At PacificSky, we're passionate about solar. For more than 20 years and 2000 installations, we've been helping families dramatically slash their energy bills with attractive, durable solar panels. Going solar has never been easier, or more financially beneficial.

"If it sounds too good to be true.....it's because it is. Please take my advice and listen to the dozens of one star reviews and RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!! This company has been incompetent and a complete nightmare from the very beginning and I can't believe I signed a contract that means I'm stuck with them for years. Their sales team is smooth and will give you a great pitch and "unbeatable price" but the moment you sign they will ghost you. I was told it would take 30-90 days to get installed so I waited patiently only to literally never hear from the rep again. I called dozens (no exaggeration) of times and it would either go straight to voicemail or the rep would finally answer and make up some new excuse as to why they haven't been able to install. Finally 5 months later someone shows up to install....and they break my entire house's electrical system. That's right, they broke all of the lights in my house. They left me in the dark (literally) and feigned surprise when I called back the next day. They sent someone out and they had to break through my exterior stucco and fix the mistake they made (they drilled into a patch of cables....come on guys) but left without fixing the stucco at all! Everything was going ok (although the panels do NOT create as much as they make you believe they will during the sales process) but then one day I looked at the app and I had created 0 kWH in 4 days despite the system saying that everything was "normal". Then after calling the app and them saying there was nothing wrong I called Pacific Sky Solar and they said they couldn't even send someone out for over a week - meaning that their system would continue to produce 0 energy for over 1/3 of the entire month. They kept saying they'd call me back and ghosted me only to send an email the next day blaming the issue on LADWP. But....do you know what is absolutely suspicious? Not even 30 minutes after they sent that email blaming LADWP the solar panels "magically" started working again. I could go on for days about how awful this company has been but please if you are thinking of getting solar just pay the extra little bit of money and go with literally ANY OTHER COMPANY ON THE PLANET, it's worth avoiding the absolute nightmare that is the entire Pacific Solar company and it will probably save you money in the long run too. RUN FAST AND FAR!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Smartsville, CA

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.
