"excellent.Response  when first contacted from Angie's List was immediate. Our downspouts are all clogged and gutters, they showed us what they could do and gave us several prices and we decided to go for their gutter topper as well.  We signed a contract and they gave us an idea of when they could start. As anyone knows that PA has gotten almost2-3 daily downpours and thunderstorms.  Their office called  that they would be here as soon as possible.

"The broken off post had been set in concrete in the ground.  He had to jackhammer out the old concrete, put in new concrete and set a new pressure treated 4x4 post in place, brace it while it set for a couple of days, and attach the rest of the original privacy fence. Came back a couple of days later after the concrete had set, removed the brace, and inspected the job for customer satisfaction. Don showed up when he said he would, did exactly what he said he'd do, and charged me less than his original estimate. Very professional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Don to anyone for anything he does.

"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."

"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."

"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 Woolrich, 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.
