"Absolutely superior service from Mottco.  There was a hiccup in getting the job completed in a timely fashion but that was due to necessary stucco repair (as the flashing cut up under stucco) and needed coordination from a stucco professional.  Regrettably, this required finding and coordinating with a separate repair company which did not go as smoothly as hoped... but was in no way the fault of Mottco.
I called NUMEROUS roofing companies and interviewed no less than 4.  Mottco was by far the most professional and reliable of them all.

"I was fortunate in choosing LOA in Houston to represent me when I had my insurance company come out after a hail storm to assess the condition of my roof. I specifically have to thank Andrew S. who went through 3 inspections before my insurance company agreed to replace it. To Andrew’s credit, his persistence and skill over a period of 2 months finally resulted in my insurance company (known for denying claims) agreeing to a full replacement. If you ever have an insurance company come to assess your property after a storm they often have third party companies doing the work of assessing damage and almost always deny your claim. You should always have a roofing company representative there for you during an inspection since they know what to look for and can convince the adjuster that your claim is valid. I was about to spend $16K to replace my 20-year old roof but thanks to Andrew I only had to pay my deductible."

"Had my roof replaced by Premier roofing and contracting a
few weeks ago and I could not be any happier. Brandon, who responded to my call
for a free quote was very professional, on time and knowledgeable about the
products and samples he gave me. From the start he was upfront about the
details, the cost and what they would replace and fix and I liked that I did
not have to mention my coupon from Angie?s list before getting an estimate. I
always feel the price goes up if you mention a coupon beforehand but not with
Brandon and Premier.  Their crew showed
up on time, was very professional and work until completely dark the first day.
They finished up early the next day and cleaned the area front to back as
though they were never there. I highly recommend Premier roofing for your next
roof repair or total replacement.

"Chris came out and did a thorough walkaround of the house, answered all of my questions, and was very professional. That same visit, he provided an itemized checklist of what services would be done, and a price tag for the job. When I had a few followup questions (which I submitted through Angie's List message service), owner Mike Connors answered almost immediately. I can't tell you how impressed I was with the responsiveness of this company! We ultimately accepted a bid from another company that is a better fit for us, but I would not hesitate to call Titan if/when we have any exterior work to be done. Thanks!"

"I had Life Roofing out for a quote on replacing my shingle roof with a metal roof. Their representative Bengy was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in walking me through the process. He immediately noticed hail damage on the roof and determined that I was eligible for a claim on my homeowners insurance. He was extremely responsive and helpful in the claims process. I ultimately decided to go with another company for the new roof, but I highly recommend Life Roofing and I was very close to using them for the work. Their price was extremely competitive and I feel confident they would be a good choice for anyone looking for a new roof."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Austin, TX

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.
