"We are very happy with Jason and Sweet-It’s fixed. We hired them to install a new bathroom in our basement and it turned out great. From boring old extra storage room to completely finished turn key full bathroom we are happy with the project. Jason was very responsive to all communications (email, text, call) and communicated well throughout the project. Pricing was fair and reasonable, and timeliness to complete the project great. Jason exceeded our expectations and we would hire him again for the next project."

"Jakota was honest and recommended repair rather than a roof replacement. He matched the color and style of our existing shingles and completed the work ahead of schedule and left the worksite clean! My wife was home when he/they came and found them to be easy to work with. I highly reccommend them!"

"Ty Crawford came out and met with my wife and I on two separate occasions. He was very pleasant, informative and thorough in his presentation and providing an estimate. He was the first source we spoke with. After meeting with several other competent and reputable service providers over the next couple weeks, we called him back, spoke further and decided to choose Shingle King to replace our roof. Ty had kept in contact twice during the couple of weeks while we looked at other potential providers. No pressure tactics, just a quick friendly phone call to see if we had made a decision yet.
His was not the lowest of the four estimates we received, but we had a comfort level speaking with him, discussing work ethic, and reviewing the project that we needed done and the quality of materials he would be using. (Each of the other providers we received estimates from also presented themselves and their services very well). There was simply a comfortable feeling, especially after signing the contract that we had made the right choice. It was a good fit for us.
We had a couple weeks wait until other projects were completed and weather had cleared before our work commenced. The roofing crew did an excellent job removing the old roof and installing the new. We had chosen to alter the color of shingles and also decided to have a Groove Vent cut into the roof and eliminating the unsightly ventilation boxes, which Ty had mentioned were too few for proper air flow. Work was promptly performed over two days. Crew members were courteous and did a fine job of cleaning up after the work was completed.
Once finished the roof looked great! The shingle color selection was spot on matching the new color theme we had chosen. We are very pleased with the work that was performed and Ty's follow-up make sure we were satisfied both with the service and quality of craftsmanship as well as the appearance of the roof.
A very good experience for us!"

"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."

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Wayne, 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.
