"Very satisfied! Highly recommended!!! Perfectly! Mr. Rackley and his team knocked the roof out in less than a day! Clean up was spotless and no worries for nails with the powerful magnets they sweep the ground with after clean up. I am very happy I chose Rackley Roofing and am recommending them to my dad for his roof. You won't be disappointed!"

"I'm so grateful for L&L Roofing! Lucas is very respectful, trustworthy, and honest. His integrity shines through his work. As the owner of the company, he personally came to do the inspection, provided a very reasonable estimate, and managed the job onsite himself. He ensured my roof was installed correctly and in a timely manner. He even provided an incredible workmanship warranty, which is amazing in and of itself, but I know I won't even need it. Thank you so much!"

"The windows are beautiful! Starting with Chris, the salesman - it was a long meeting as he went thru the product features. I was most impressed w the demonstration on heat penetration of the glass, there was none! Very important to me. Yes, I didn’t like making a decision that night but I understood why and had the opportunity to change my mind if needed. Installation, could not have asked for a better crew! Danny and his crew were beyond awesome! Other than showing up so early (I am not an early riser) they were very courteous and cleaned up as they went from window to window. I had to ask him to suspend what he was doing for a client call and he respected the request without question. Mike, a quality control supervisor, came thru the day they were actively installing to be sure everything was going well and as expected. Had never heard of this company before, googling during the presentation, but I am here to tell you they are top notch. Quality product and work!!"

I started discussions with Crestmark in mid-April 2013, receiving an actual quote and invoice in mid-May. They performed the roof repair and it was completed by the end of June, with the work crew doing superior work. With the roof complete, there was approximately $8,000 worth of repairs remaining to be completed. When I had not heard from Crestmark by the second week in July, I attempted to contact them by email and phone but to no avail. I finally made contact by phone shortly into September (four months into our repairs!) and expressed such frustration with the owner that a representative emailed me that afternoon, promising to come by and estimate the materials needed for completion. A week later they came out and partially finished the chimney framing but left it unpainted and none of the facia or soffet work done. On September 19, I received an email from the same representative promising to "get a list of what needs to be finished tomorrow and we will get it done". I have not heard from Crestmark since (today is November 9, 2013) nor has any work been performed. While Crestmark Roofing promised much and their price was fair, the lack of communication and follow-up has negated what should have been a relatively easy success. 

UPDATE

 =======

On November 9, 2013, I provided Crestmark with advance notice of my Angie's List review to allow them an opportunity to responds and/or attempt to remediate our concerns. On November 21, 2013, I received an email stating they were ordering the remaining materials and would have the job completed within 2-3 weeks. However, I heard nothing else from my job representative into mid-January. On January 22, 2014, I contacted the Angie's List POC for Crestmark Roofing, Gary Yates. In contrast to my experiences with the prior representative, Mr. Yates was professional, responsive, and extremely disturbed over how the job had been handled. To his credit, he did not fain concern in an effort to win back business; instead, it appears he made a diligent effort to objectively investigate the status of our job and what led to our displeasure. Mr. Yates kept me informed throughout the 23rd, checking for additional information and clarifying points of confusion. On January 24, Mr. Yates and I met in person, where he apologized for the problems with this job and updated me on the results of his investigation. He assured me that this was an isolated incident involving one of his representatives and took full responsibility for the lack of communications and response. He cleared up several misconceptions concerning the repairs and in my view rescued the reputation of this company. Had I thought to contact Mr. Yates earlier, many if not all of these problems may have been averted.

"The process was very Professional. Greg came out and evaluated my old shingles roof and gave me a price to install a new metal roof. He was very informative concerning my change over from a shingles roof to a metal roof. Greg explained the step by step installation process and the warranty that was included. After an agreement was confirmed, I was always notified with everything from the material drop off date and time to the actual installation date and any delays.. Will definitely use Southern Signature Solutions in the future for other Home Projects!! Wonderful Customer Service! Thank You Mr. Greg Carter And Crew!! MY NEW ROOF LOOKS GREAT!!"

"Company reps are always prompt and professional. As far as I can tell, the work is top notch. I've never had any complaints with the repairs they've made. Dr. Roof is not the cheapest, but I think this is a case of getting what you pay for."

"I called the expert team of hometown restoration to replace my old roof as the rainy season was coming, and I wanted to avoid those leakages on my roof. Irritating! But searching for the ideal team to repair my roof was more than annoying. My friend recently took the service of hometown restoration to fix their roof issues and got a fantastic output. So, I decided to call their experts and speak about all the problems I was facing. Firstly, they inspected the roof condition and then suggested to us the most efficient and reliable solution. It was a good suggestion, and we received a high-quality shingle. If we needed roofing again on our house, I would call them! Truly a great experience to work with them!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Marietta, GA

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.
