"Pfeifer Roofing is courteous, professional and prompt. I was given a free evaluation of my roof, shown samples of the products they use and pamphlets for their policies and products. The free estimate was detailed with multiple options for various avenues for next steps. The installation foreman and crew itself were incredible and communicated with me multiple times throughout the four-day roofing/gutter install, sharing their noticings while working and asking me for my input and preferences. They worked hard to clean up after each day, and the final result is fantastic."

"I learned about Raindrop Roofing NW when my neighbor across the street recommended them to us. He is a retired contractor, so I trust him. He shared with us that these guys were good, professional and they are local. He also urged us to get at least 3 or 4 bids before hiring them, because it’s always good to have a base for comparison. The sales rep that came over, Lee, is a pleasant guy. He took a look at the attic, measured the important things and got back to me with a quote within a few days. He also followed up a week later to see if I had made a decision, but I didn't feel any pressure in him inquiring. All in all Raindrop Roofing NW seemed to be the best quote, as they were also taking care of a few new skylights we wanted to install. Between the time we paid our deposit and the time they started the job, we had an electrician perform some electrical work in the attic and he noticed that the central section of the roof was missing trusses, hence there was a little bit of sagging. It was almost as if the previous owners had started some work in the attic and never completed it. We reported the issue and asked that the missing trusses would be installed prior to the beginning of the job. Despite an initial lack of communication on this aspect, which caused a couple of days of delay, the crew on their first day installed all the missing trusses and then started to work on the roof. These guys are hard working and professional - and I might add fast, when rain allows. They removed the old layer of roof, replaced a few rotten sheets and started installing the new charcoal compositional shingles with a vent ridge system. Due to inclement weather, they couldn't complete their job in a week, but I have no doubt that these guys can stay on schedule weather permitting. When the work was completed, a friend who is understands structural engineering took a look at the attic and commented that, despite the new trusses, the roof still needed support in the central section. I communicated this to Kenny Courtney, the Vice-President of the company. A few words about Kenny: if there are golden professional and behavioral standards for any company representative, Kenny Courtney embodies all of them. He took his time to drive in person to our home, take a look at the attic and offer us a free consultation from one of his business associates who specializes in structural improvements. His words were: “if my guy thinks that more needs to be done to make this safe, we will take care of it and it will be on us”. He gained all of my trust and respect for offering that. The contractor specializing in structural work showed up at our door a few days later and upon inspecting the roof, he also agreed that, in order for the roof to be structurally sound in the middle of a heavy snow storm, a 14 feet beam needed to added in the middle section. Kenny took the recommendation from his associate and reached out to me to schedule his crew to come over and install the beam at no additional cost to us. He also managed to have the beam dropped down from the roof, without having to go through the house. I came home and it was all done. This is what I call going above and beyond for your customers and, being a business owner myself, I know that this is the only real competitive advantage you have in any industry, other than hard work and integrity. I feel this company, and Kenny in particular, have showed to possess all these three qualities. I would hire them again and I would recommend them highly to anyone who wants a beautiful, solid roof over their heads."

"Rufus Aylwin and Aylwin Construction have been operating for years in the Portland area. We find they are easy to work with. This was the second time Rufus helped us out. He was strongly recommended by a friend and Realtor. The roof was leaking and Rufus immediately sent members of his team to tarp the leaking part of the roof It was an old roof and overdue for replacement. The new roof was applied after installing several damaged plywood sheets. We no longer live in the Portland area so this had to handled long-distance. We have confidence in their professionalism."

"They were upfront and honest. They did a great job on replacing a gutter and drain spout for me. What I was so impressed about was. One company told me I had soft spots in the roof, when I got a second opinion with these guys they discovered there were no soft spots. Saving me a bunch of money. I WILL BE USING THESE GUYS AGAIN!!! Thanks you High Quality"

Customers say: True professional

"C & C Roofing guaranteed us no leaks and even promised to come back out if the leak continued anytime within the next few months after their repairs. We are pretty much through the rough weather season and that was not necessary as everything seems to have been taken care of properly on the first visit."

"Gibson roofing was fantastic! They did a great job, in a timely manner and the estimates were right on target. Not only did they replace our 30+ year-old roof, but they also rebuilt our sun room and installed a cat run on the outside. The team was easy to work with, polite and they did a great job of cleaning up the job site afterward. I highly recommend Gibson Roofing"

"PDX Roof Care (Dimitri) did an amazing job of cleaning my roof and gutters. I have had the roof cleaned and treated by other companies and none compare to the finished product from PDX. My gutters hadn't been power washed for 8 years and now they look like new. Dimitri was extremely professional and efficient. He left everything looking truly better than when he arrived. I will only hire PDX Roof Care for my future needs."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Wilsonville, OR

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.
