"I would highly recommend Manny and his team to anyone in need of roofing services!! Manny was great at communicating about the project and making suggestions. The team arrived on time, worked efficiently and left everything clean. The quality of their work was excellent! Another family member had used Manny in the past and was also extremely happy with their new roof!"

"Very professional, install team showed up at 7:50am, slated for 8am. Removed all my windows, were very careful with removal, used drop clothes and disposed of all related trash. My new windows look great. The sales person informed me of all aspects of the job and the install manager double checked everything and advised me of all things that were required of me before the install. A real great, professional team. I would highly recommend them for any window replacement."

"Thank you for my wonderful roof! These guys are not only professional but understanding with the customer’s needs. Ronny was always available for a phone call to discuss my concerns about my roof prior to the start of the project. This company is reliable and trustworthy. The asphalt shingles look great in my new roof. I love my new roof."

"Very Well! Put deposit down about 3 weeks ago- windows installed yesterday. Window installation- workers were punctual ( a bit early but would have waited if necessary!) and answered all my questions- they were very nice. Four workers- which meant that the house was not drafty for long ( cold weather!) and the removal and installation of windows took about 3 hours ( note: amount of time window holes did not have windows on them was much, much less but did not time it -maybe 10- 20 ? minutes per window is just a guess). The men caulked and did a real cleanup. I was not stressed at all during installation- went smoothly. Windows came with half screen each- which is moveable."

"It didn't go very well. The gentleman came and looked at the roof. He said that he would send us a summary of what he found but we never received it. He just looked at the roof, he never did any work. He was on time. I am less likely to use them again. He didn't really do any work, he just looked at the roof for 10/15 minutes."

"Billy and his crew did our roof and gutters. All of his crew were very professional, courteous and friendly. They cleaned up very well while they were working and made sure our neighbors' areas were clean as well as it was a very windy day. Price was reasonable . I would highly recommend them."

"He is licensed in New York State to do slate roofing, and to teach it. They were excellent. They do residential roofing and commercial roofing. I live in Queens, and he came out. They are in Nassau. The three guys did their job. I ask for an guarantee, and it was done over the phone, the same day. They were very good. They came out to give me an estimate, and they finished an roof in the neighborhood. They sent the three guys over, and they went on the roof, and took pictures. They showed me where my problem was, and I showed them my bedroom where the damaged was. I spoke to the owner, and spoke on the phone a little bit. We agreed on a price, and he gave me an guarantee for two years. I asked when can they do it, and he said, now. I said, wonderful, do it now. They are expertise with slate tiles. The guys were there, and didn't have a job in the afternoon, and completed in four hours. I had a valley with a peak on it, and an chimney. They put the membrane down, and cleaned up after. The workers were very polite. They cleaned up everything. They had to throw down a lot of damaged tiles, and stuff. They swept up the front of my house, and it looked better than when they came. I even called the owner up and told him how pleased I was. Being an woman, I always fear they see a woman, you never know when they might say lets get this woman. I think I paid a fair price, I paid for the job I got. I was very satisfied. A lot of times, what are you going to do jump on your roof, and see if its done right. I had done my research on them. I had an neighbor who use to do roofing when he was a young man. He would tell me look over here, its a great job. The membranes are done right, look at the gauge on the copper. I paid for it, but I got a good job. Being an woman, people might take an advantage. They were running around in Queens, roofers, said, you needed a new roof. A woman paid $4000, and she thought she was getting a new roof, but she got the silver coating. They were actually on the news. About how the home owners were getting rip offs with silver paint. Its silver coating to make your roof last longer. It reflects your roof in the summer, and reflects the cold in the winter. I got what I paid for. Not cheap. They even came a little earlier. I hopefully don't have to use them.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Staten Island, 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.
