"I needed to replace my old A/C system that was no longer cooling. Through Angi I set up estimates with three different contractors. MAP Construction was one of the first to reply and I believe had the best quote for what I was looking for. Matt was very friendly and professional and explained everything that would be involved. The installer did a fantastic job. There is a reason MAP has a 5.0 rating. And I highly recommend them to anyone looking for heating and cooling services."

"Brent Collier was my connection with Buckeye State Roofing. He was excellent to work with and helped me submit an insurance claim which paid for a good part of the roof repairs. Brent was very professional in getting me a quote, helping to manage the insurance claim, scheduling the work and getting it done in a timely fashion. All work was done very well. The clean up after the job was excellent. If I ever need roofing work again, I will not hesitate to contact Brent. I was very satisfied with this re-roofing experience."

"Tommy was awesome. He assessed the roof and explained to me what he did to fix the roof where it was leaking. He also shared other options that were more invasive should I continue to have leakage. Tommy was very friendly and professional and I would highly recommend him. I will definitely use him again for any roofing issues."

"Luke was out to view the damage the following day after being contacted by the office. He was very courteous and knowledgeable about slate roofs (which is hard to find these days) and worked directly with the insurance adjuster to get everything covered that needed repaired (a tree limb fell on the roof and damaged several slate tiles and the chimney flashing). The work has not been completed yet due to weather but I have no doubts that the work will be quality as he certainly seemed very competent and has obviously worked a lot with insurance companies based on how efficient he was in getting the claim approved with my limited involvement in the process."

"BEST CONTRACTOR EVER! The project included an exterior ramp, 1st fl laundry & 1/2 bath near the kitchen. I needed the ramp done 1st for an elderly person being released from physical rehab in under a wk. He worked very hard through the worst days of the smoke from the Canada forest fires. He understood ADA requirements and built accordingly. Plus, he suggested things I hadn't thought of like widening the mudroom doorway for a wheel chair if needed in the future & raising the mudroom floor just a little to keep it level with the kitchen floor. The ramp is very sturdy. The senior is using it with great confidence. The interior revamp went very well & was just what our senior needed. Not only did he have the project done in a timely manner, but while walking through Lowes he noticed a stackable washer & dryer 20% off, unopened box. He texted me & we grabbed it! Dave not only knows the construction business but goes above & beyond what's needed and he has a good heart."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Solon, OH

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.
