"Excellent! Thermal Roofing is a very professional company. They explained everything that needed to be done, took time for our questions, and once they started they completed the project on time. They were neat, dedicated to their work, and were a pleasure to work with."

"Very nice and professional crew. Installed roof and replaced rotted wood. Made sure past work from other company was corrected so no future issues occur. They made sure everything was cleaned up when they left. We will definitely call them for more projects in the future!"

"Great! We used Marcus to fix a leaking roof vent maybe 7 years ago and since then he’s built a detached garage for our home, two large decks for rentals, and metal roofing for my shop. He is the most honest and trustworthy person in the business. If it’s something he doesn’t do he is also super helpful in referring you to someone he knows. He has turned into my go to guy for all construction needs. He always calls you back also!"

"Pioneer Roofing tore off two layers of old roofing and installed my beautiful new roof today. They were professional, on time and clean. Marty and his crew answered any questions I had. They were very careful around all of my landscaping which I appreciated very much. They did an exceptional job of cleaning up afterwards and did the entire job in one day! The price I was quoted- which I thought was great price (much cheaper than other quotes) is the price I paid. I would highly recommend this company! Thanks so much Marty and your crew!"

"Excellent Service. Mr. Knox communicated everything up front and was very knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to make sure that my elderly mother's roof was repaired properly. From start to finish I would give him an A+ on all facets of his communication and the company's workmanship. Go with them, you won't be disappointed."

"The install and the professionalism of the installers was fantastic. These installers were the same crew that installed my brother's project some years ago. I request these same 2 installers when I need new windows in the next few months. The only issue that we had during this entire project was the issue of our $2000 down payment, and then the long time before the windows were installed. I reached out to you folks to find out why I had to put a large deposit down months before the install when you folks were advertising "no money down, no payment for 2 years" but never really got a good answer. I stayed with your company due to the fact that my brother was very happy with his experience and install. Then you folks contacted us a few weeks before the install to give us the date and told us you would let us know a time. That never happened. The day before the install, my brother called and asked what time the installers would be there. We needed to take time off from work. My brother runs an electrical (service) business and commented that this was no way to run the administrative side of a business. He had to call your company to inquire about the time of the arrival of the installers and the woman that he spoke to said she would find out, but by 7pm, no one had gotten back to him. I called your company and the gentleman that I spoke with came back and told me that the crew would be there at 8am. I advised my brother. What upset us is that we had to do all this leg work when this is your responsibility. As I mentioned before, the window quality, installation and price point and warranty are over the top. It was the customer service that took a back seat for our project. Please advise those in the administration to take a look at our project and to contact me if they have any questions. The BEST part of the entire experience: The installation and the windows look great. I will be calling you back for my next project."

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