"This went very well. The first thing was the inspection of the house to do the estimate. The inspection was very in-depth. They checked the walls, the eves of on the second floor since it is a cape cod house. We took some time to make sure this was what we really wanted to do. It is kind of a complicated process. The price was right so we decided that the insulation would help with the house being more efficient.
The work started - and had to be stopped the first day (they can not pump in the insulation when it is raining due to using electricity to pump in the material electrocution can be an issue). But they were back the next morning. The crew explained everything they needed to do. I do have to warn everyone that this process is very noisy. I left the house because you can not really do anything due to the noise. One of the crew will be inside your house listening and feeling the walls so that the crew memeber outside the house can be told when to stop pumping the Air krete. I asked to feel how it felt and the crew member let me experience what it was like - pretty neat.
The crew was polite and informative. The were very knowledgeable on the process and the product.
i was very pleased with the work. I also have to say that it has already made a difference in the house efficiency. It also has cut down on the noise that we hear from the outside ( a great extra benefit).
I recommend this product and company. It has been a better experience than I expected.

"Brett Smith, owner, had quoted us a price to remove roofing and install new.  He estimated there might be a few pieces of plywood sheeting that need replacing.  As the removal of the shingles and underlayment took place, it was evident there were bigger problems than first anticipated, through no fault of the contractor.  Prior to accepting his bid, he informed us there may be more bad sheets than anticipated, and there was no way to be sure until the old roofing was removed. The old roof was only 10 years old, and as Smitty and his workers removed the roofing, it was evident the previous contractor ripped us off big time.  He was suppose to replace old sheeting, and only replaced a few sheets (the previous roofer).  Brett and I discovered nearly 25 plywood sheets that needed replaced due to rotting (previous roofer did not vent the roof either)!
Brett & I had agreed to extra pricing for this prior to him starting the job.  Obviously, you don't know what you can't see. Brett got me on the roof so I could see the damage, and I was in disbelief what the previous roofer had done to us.  The current job had been estimated to take 3 days, but because of all the hidden problems (bad sheeting, some broken rafters, bowed rafters) it took he and his crew 4 days.  Only one extra day for all that extra work!  They worked dawn to dusk, and I mean worked.  They did not fool around at all, which impressed me more than anything. He has a great crew! I was kept informed throughout the entire process, and they were very professional and courteous.
Smitty installed architectural shingles, properly vented the roof, and did many other extra things to insure the roof would be solid, aesthetic, and built to last a long time.  To say I am happy with the finished job is really an understatement.  My wife is very happy too, and that says a lot, trust me!  I did not know Brett Smith before he stopped by to give me an estimate, but I took a chance based on my feelings about his character after going over the estimate. I had also seen his work on a neighbor's house.  We had gotten three estimates for the roofing job, and Smitty's estimate was best by far.
I recommend Smitty's Roofing and General Contracting to anyone considering them for a contract.  Brett Smith is up front, honest, and keeps you informed. He does good work, is prompt, and has the best prices."

"Mr. Russo responded promptly to my call and came over immediately to give me an estimate.  His estimate was competitive with other estimates I received.  I decided to go with Mr. Russo because of his professionalism and apparent expertise in roofing.  I was not disappointed.  He finished the job within the time frame promised and kept the cost to his estimate.  He assured me that his work is guaranteed and the problem leak is fixed.  I will definitely use him for future roofing jobs.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Warren, PA

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.
