"I had our roof replaced by Galloway Roofing Company and was very pleased. Their price was reasonable, their quality of work was excellent and the products used were superior. Manuel is a very good ambassador for Galloway by making sure our expectations were met by communications throughout the process. I highly recommend this company for anyone needing a new roof."

"Inland Roofing did a great job on installing new shingles. Professional, timely, and what I felt was a fair price. (received an inflated quote from another local company--no thanks) These guys know their trade well and do quality work. I have lived in Spokane less than 3 years so did a fair amount of research on roofing contractors. If you look at the reviews for Inland on Angi's, Google, Yelp, HomeAdvisor, etc. you will find a lot of satisfied customers. Great work Inland!"

"Compared to the other 7 roofers I had come out to bid on a new roof, the New Heights representative (Nate) was the only one to go up on my steep roof to document evidence of wind damage. He then worked with my insurance company until they agreed to pay for the entire roof."

"Excellent roof and experience! Thankfully, they were able to squeeze us in between other jobs and they tore off our old roof and put on a new roof and left our place nice and clean. I would 100% hire them again."

"My experience working with North Star Construction was top-notch. Mica, my primary contact through the project, was great to work with. It was nice to get progress status updates and detailed photos from her via email almost daily. Communication was good. They were responsive, professional, and the work they did looks really sharp. Final cost turned out to be more than estimated due to some rot discovered during the job, but I would certainly recommend NSC to anyone needing a quality re-roofing."

"Luigi was very professional, friendly, and prompt for the quote and for the work day. I was very pleased with the cost and how quickly he was able to get it done. I would recommend Stay Dry Solutions to anybody needing roof work or even a new roof. We will be going to him when we have our roof replaced in a couple of years."

"David and his Roofing Team (led by Luis, then later George), did a wonderful job repairing a large section of my roof. They quickly and expertly removed, then replaced a large section of roofing. Further, his team was extremely friendly and very attentive to my description of the issues and the concerns I had. The repaired section completely blends into the original section, and I am confident that after talking to them and observing their work, this section will last for years and years! Well done!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Spokane, 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.
