Mobile Home Roofing Single ply membrane with Lifetime Warranty

"My mother hired Comfort Cover Systems to replace the roof on her home in Sarasota after Hurricane Milton. While the roof replacement itself was completed, their workers caused significant damage to the lanai carport roof by walking on it, which resulted in buckling and structural issues. Instead of taking responsibility for their actions, the company has repeatedly tried to downplay the damage and shift the cost of repairs onto my mother, a senior citizen. Despite multiple follow-ups and visits from their representatives, their proposed "solution" is completely inadequate. They cut off protruding screws and offered to paint over the damage, but this does nothing to fix the underlying structural issues or the buckling they caused. To make matters worse, their response tried to blame the lanai’s condition on pre-existing wear and tear from the hurricane, even though the damage was clearly caused by their workers during installation. This attempt to avoid accountability is both insulting and unprofessional. When we informed them that we would withhold the final $12,000 payment until the damage was resolved, they responded with vague promises but no real action plan to repair the roof. They also made communication unnecessarily difficult by asking who the "decision-maker" was, despite being told multiple times that all correspondence would go through me and my mother. A reputable company would stand behind their work and resolve such issues promptly, but that has not been the case here. I strongly urge anyone considering Comfort Cover Systems Inc. to look elsewhere. If they damage your property, you can expect excuses, deflection, and an unwillingness to take responsibility. My family is now left with no choice but to escalate this matter to the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation and the Florida Roofing and Sheet Metal Contractors Association. Save yourself the frustration and find a company that values its customers and takes pride in doing the right thing."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Sumatra, FL

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.
