"I hire Pure Gutter Solutions to get the gutter filter installed. Gave a fairly reasonable price and also they were not as pushy as a certain company. The work that was done was also professional and clean. Will recommend to anyone trying to get gutter filter installed."

"Started with home energy audit that cost only $59. Sales / tech person was very professional. Performed an energy audit that took HOURS. it was not a rushed job, and he reviewed his assessment with me in detail. That alone was worth the cost. He pointed out spots where there were big heat losses in my home, and what could be done to resolve them. Never pressured me to get the services, but he did show me which things I could do and how much they'd cost, as well as the rebate I'd receive from my energy company. I selected to get my basement rim joist spray insulated, add insulation to the attic, add insulation caps to all the recessed lighting fixtures in the attic, add insulation do attic entryway, and spray and install more insulation around the bonus room above my garage. Each one was an option, and gave improvements to the overall comfort of the house. Work was done in 2 days (they needed to come back due to power issues for the insulation blower). Overall, I'm happy with the results. house is more comfortable and furnace is running less."

"The job went well.  Once into the tuck pointing part of the job, it was obvious that a lot of mortar behind the outside brick had eroded away.  Michael did a great job making sure the job was done correctly.  As for the roof, the fixes he did, addressed the problem of leaking at the flashing.

"We are very pleased with the job Roofman did on our home. In one day they tore off old roof and replaced it. They were promt, personable and professional. They were careful not to damage our gardens and lawn. Every bit of debris was cleaned up at the end of the day. We are extremely satisfied with our new roof. We have had several neighbors favorably comment on it as well. We love our updated sunroom - no more leaky skylights! We highly recommend Roofman (855-976-6362) for your next roofing project."

"We had mold issues at two of our rental houses at the same time. One was small (bathroom ceiling) and one was a whole house and crawl space. I called multiple providers to come out and look at the projects and Ron and Dan from Complete Service Restoration were the ones that really took their time to understand the issues and come up with a plan. We started with the small project first and it was completed very quickly. For the whole house project CSR were the only provider who recommended a 3rd party air quality consultant to inspect the house and prepare a detailed remediation protocol. Ron, Dan and Anthony removed a lot of drywall.... sub floors.... insulation and cleaned the house from top to bottom using the correct tools and adhering to the strict remediation protocol. It was a lengthy process that took several months to complete including testing and clearance. They also encapsulated the crawl space and hepa vacuumed it. I have a lot of experience dealing with contractors and CSR really came through. Other companies send out a sales person but when Ron and Dan comes out you know that they are the ones who will do the work after you hire them. Their prices were fair and reasonable compared to their competitors. Cost of service was for both projects with 90% of it related to the entire house remediation (1800 sqf). Last but not least... they were a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend them for anything related to mold remediation and water/fire damage."

"I had been having a terrible problem with frozen pipes during this awful winter. I called this company because of Angie's List reviews to see if they could help me. The owner, Bill, and the person who actually did the work, Matthew, came and checked out my situation. My home is 83 years old and the age of the house often causes problem for companies and workers used to more modern houses with accessible plumbing and dry wall. Comfort Zone reassured me that they could handle it. He brought two others with him to help. It was an all day job and some glitches and unforeseen difficulties cropped up. But by the end of the day, things seemed to be in order and the problems taken care of. It was very messy work, but they did a good job of cleaning up after themselves and I appreciated that as I don't always see that practice when I hire people. Bill the owner said several times that he was guaranteeing that my pipes were finished freezing and I believe him. I won't be able to check that until we get those frigid days with below zero wind chills again, but I believe that if there is an issue, this company will honor that unwritten guarantee. I was very satisfied dealing with the company and with Bill and Matthew. They seemed to take pride in their work and I felt they were honest with me throughout. I would use them again and recommend them as well. A bonus was the 10% discount given to Angie's List members which save me about $170.
Update on 01/09/15
The owner said several times that he was guaranteeing that my pipes were finished freezing and I believe him. I won't be able to check that until we get those frigid days with below zero wind chills again, but I believe that if there is an issue, this company will honor that unwritten guarantee." Unfortunately, the freeze came this week and the pipes froze again. The owner of the company came out to look when I called, but nothing was done. He told me he would have his crew put more insulation on an exposed pipe "when we have a job in your area." He advised I aim a small heater on the pipes. I did so for 12 hours. No luck. So, this morning, I had to pay the plumber $275 to unfreeze my pipes. It certainly looks now as if my $1700 from last March was a waste of money. If this company shows up soon to back up their guarantee, I will update this review again. As of now, I am very disappointed."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Westland, MI

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.
