"Paul Lechiara, the owner, is the best communicator of any contractor I have ever had. He answers his phone and email pleasantly and promptly at any time of day or early evening. He replies however you want: phone call, text, or email. He is clear and informative. He is reasonable and works incredibly hard to be sure you understand what you are getting and what you need to do. Then he and his wonder crew show up with your beautiful new roofing materials and get to work. They are fast and careful. Very respectful of neighbors, fences, garden plants and fancy gutters (I have ordinary gutters but fancy gutter caps, they took good care of them). They are hardworking and clean. My installers were Boris and Sergei. Two very nice guys and super hard working. They did a great job and left the place spotless. The new roof exceeds expectations. It is uncommonly handsome and improves the overall appearance of my house by quite a bit. I am delighted by the idea of a roof that will outlast me, and will support my solar array for the next 25 or so years (at which time solar technology should be way ahead of where we are now) without any issues. Tips: Do your research first. East Coast Metal Roofing have a great reputation. .I decided to get my chimney repointed and other necessary work done (replace deteriorated shingles along roofline, etc.) first, so no one will be hauling bricks or stone on my new metal roof later on. East Coast Metal Roofing will properly flash and seal around your chimney, vent pipes/hoods, and any other areas. I am glad I got the snow guards, especially around walkways and driveways. As a final bonus, Paul will register your warranty. If you get solar panels at the same time as your metal roof, and your roof had to be replaced to do so (solar company usually determines this), you can get a big tax deduction for the part of the roof covered by solar panels. This is worth several thousand dollars off the total price of the job. All in all, Paul and his crew are pure professionals and so nice to work with, and their work is outstanding."

"Mr. Maynard returned my call on the same day. He came to my house the next day and inspected my roof and the leak damage inside. He returned that afternoon with a detailed estimate, which I approved. He rurned two days later with a helper and began the work. The job took five days due to intermittent rain. He made sure I was waterproof at all times during the removal of the old section of roof and the installation of the new one. He finished expeditiously and on budget. I got a quality job at an outstanding price. He will stay in touch to make sure the new section of repaired roof stays watertight. I highly recommend Robert Maynard."

"The replacement of the unit went great. Walker heating and air technicians showed up early with a new unit they picked up ready to work. They did a professional job on the unit installation and a great job of cleaning up. The installation took about 7 hours and they then explained how it worked, the warranty, and what maintenance would be needed. They answered all the questions I had and provided contact info should I have any problems. The ac works great and the family is glad. I would recommend Walker heating and air to everyone."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Taftville, CT

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.
