"I had 25 LG solar panels installed by Sunpro this year and they did a fantastic job. The communication was great and the install crew was very professional. It's been awesome watching our electric bill go down!"

"Well let me first start off by saying as a home owner having work done of any sort at your home always adds stress to your normal daily routine. When we decided it was time to do some upgrading to our home, we started the task of seeking out quotes for doing our roof first. While shopping roofers and gathering quotes I came across Tony Guzman of Dream Home Remodeling Inc. After sitting and talking with Tony my Husband and myself felt that he and his company would be our choice. I cannot say enough about the great job they did. They arrived on time, there was a foreman present the entire job who was very knowledgeable about roofing, the shingles I choose and was able to address and answer any of my concerns, all the guys were polite and left my home after completing the job spotless with a beautiful new roof. I was pleasantly surprised at the little amount of stress involved while Tony and his crew were here. It was an A+ all around!"

"This really is a good company to use.  They are fair,  honest and don't skimp corners.
The attic job looks very professional,  lots of bracing.  The job looks professional as all the  cuts for the wood look correct to support the structure.  Cleaned up well.  I could not even tell they went thru the house to take all the lumber in the attic,  Job well done.
Roof was the same way.  Guys showed up when they were supposed to,  did what I would say is in excellent quality of work, finished on time and cleaned up the outside better than what it was before they started.
I was so impressed now I am having them do some work on the roof at my home.

"Very well. Robert Alexaner was very responsive, courteous and answered our call within an hour. He came within a short time on 12/20/2021 - following all CDC guidelines. He diagnosed the problem which was the replacement of heating element - gave us the estimate - followed by his next visit on 12/22/21 - and fixed the problem within a very short time. He was very professional, courteous, and seemed knowledgeable about his trade. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing Washer/Dryer repair !"

"They were polite people, however, they said they would clean out gutters then wash them. Instead they pressure cleaned them out, leaving a huge mess everywhere. At the corner there was a substantial branch hanging out of the gutter and in the back there are still leaves stuck between the house and gutters. I had to go out and wash the whole house down for the mess they made, including the porch! Would not hire again."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Summerville, GA

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.
