"They did a good job and I will use them again. The only thing I would mention is that there was a $50 additional charge for power washing the "undercarriage" of the front porch roof. I had just assumed this would have been part of the original price. They did call me from the site to make sure I was okay with the additional charge. Even with that additional charge, the price was in the market."

"Excellent Service. Mr. Knox communicated everything up front and was very knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to make sure that my elderly mother's roof was repaired properly. From start to finish I would give him an A+ on all facets of his communication and the company's workmanship. Go with them, you won't be disappointed."

"The best! I requested for quote for fixing damaged shingles during the heavy wind that happened early this week (02/24/2019) using quote from multiple company option from Angie's List. I got few responses, but Dave from Bradford Xteriors sent me an email saying that he will stop by and take a look, after my reply, he went and found it as only a minor issue and fixed it with no charge!! He also inspected whole roof and emailed me the report!!!!"

"We had a great experience with GGA for our roof replacement. Our rep, Jordan was fantastic from start to finish. He explained all of the shingles that were optional and available for our area, reviewing the warranties and the benefits of each product line. Once we made our decision the installation was scheduled and the prep was a breeze. The came out the morning of the install ready to work. The project took longer than anticipated but we were extremely satisfied with the results. We had 2 small screen damages which the company took care of replacing the liners. Overall, great experience and happy with the superior product offerings. We were deciding between GGA and Able and were very pleased we went with GGA for our roof replacement!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Thornville, OH

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.
