"I had a jug of the recommended product, which Mr. Dexter used to spray the entire roof--not just the bad sections. He expertly corrected a downspout position to direct rain into main gutter. Two gutter covers were replaced with white-painted, seasoned wood, which were cut to the proper shapes. A deck board was fastened securely. Mr. Dexter plans to return to inspect his roof work. If additional roof treatment is needed, there will be no additional cost for me. [I had contacted 2 other roofing companies, which were recommended by Angie's List. One company did not respond. A 2d company gave a $930 estimate, which did NOT include spraying the roof for moss/algae.]"

"Dennis contacted me several times by phone ( we were away traveling, I appreciate his effort). We set a date and time. It was a long drive for him. He arrived on time. He completed the work in a professional manner. The roof looks great. I'm completely satisfied with the work. Dennis couldn't have been a nicer guy.

"Met with 5 different roofers for an estimate, but these guys were the most thorough, very cool technology for us to see video of our roof, inside the attack view, so we could see what was needed. Kyle, our rep, was very knowledgeable and didn't try to sell us on things we didn't need, worked to make it affordable for our options. Then Justin and the crew came and did an awesome job replacing the roof in one day. Highly recommend!"

"Howard construction dis a great job replacing my roof. I initially called them after a big storm to replace some shingles. They came out the day after the storm (Saturday) to do the repair. I was so impressed with Howard that I had him quote me a replacement for the roof. He was quick to provide the quote and was able to get the job done quickly. The roof looks great. I would recommend Howard Construction to anyone."

"After the work was completed, I began experiencing significant ice dam, and leaking not previously experienced. The company returned to my house two additional times to examine the situation and claim no responsibility. Over one month ago, the owner came out personally to examine the premises, and I appreciated his invovement. He pointed out several things that were wrong with my roofing system including soffet venting, and cheek wall flashing. He denied any responsibility on the leaking sky lights which I was told at sale he guaranteed! He further pointed out a failing gutter system as my problem, I asked why he never properly recommended soffet venting and flashing at the time of installation. He had no credible response and said he would get back to me. I never heard back. Since that time, I have had a town building inspector, licensed home inspector, several contractors and the shingle manufacturer out to my home. They have all unanimously concurred that Superior Roofing improperly installed my sun roof flashing, cheek wall flashing and water and ice shield. The shingle manufacturer has advised that Superior Roofing failed to properly install a roof venting system which can in affect void the expensive warranty I purcahsed. The owner of Superior correctly identified that my gutters were problematic, but all agree that my current leaking issues are not due the gutter system. While the company appears to be professional, I think I got a bad crew and the owner of the company is to busy making excuses to do the right thing. This is sad, as I had been willing to give them the opportunity to correct the problems."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in West Townsend, MA

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.
