Modern Method Roofing maintains superior standards, encourages truth, honesty and fairness in the marketplace, and responsive customer service.
"I had two jobs done by modern method on my rental property. one in 2016 and one in 2019. One was a skylight leak repair and the other a section of leaking flat roof. both jobs took a couple months to mobilize in winter. The skylight repair failed after 3 years. The other section was done with white material, while the rest of my roof is brown, so it looks pretty terrible. As the owner, I was never made aware of this decision- they worked directly with my property manager which I consider unprofessional considering they changed my roof color. I called them out to see what can be done about both. They told me the skylight repair was not done the right way and needed to replace the entire roof section including the skylights. They also said they would torch down some brown material over the white material they provided and quoted me for both. I tried to appeal to them as to why I would give them even more money to do my skylights when they recommended the repair that failed, and also why in the world they would change my roof color. The estimator gave me some options including torching brown material down over the white, paying full price for all of the repair. I called to complain, and they sent their owner over who basically told me that any flat roofing is always done with white material (sorry, not true), that torching brown material over the top is not a very good thing to do, and that the skylights obviously need to be replaced. He didn't have anything to say about why I should trust them to do good work other than "I wasn't involved in the conversations, so I don't know". Very disappointed."

Hi my name is Jorge Maldonado, I do roofing repairs over 20 year's, also I have a lot of experience, I also do fencing repairs, decking repairs, sidding repairs, etc
"My roof was leaking around the fireplace and my gutters needed replacing but I was hesitant to hire someone as I didn’t know who was reputable. I noticed my neighbor who had roofers repairing the area around his fireplace and I got his roofers names. His roofer was Jorge Maldonado (415) 424-1274. Jorge does roofs (replacement and repair), deck repairs, siding repairs, fencing repairs and exterior painting. I had him check my roof and he patched up the area around the fireplace, explaining what he was doing each step of the way. He also sealed all the roof vent pipes. I also had him replace my rain gutters and he disposed of the old ones. I was happy when Jorge said that my roof did not need replacement at this time, that it was good for about 5 more years. Jorge and his crew did an excellent job. Jorge explained each step of the way and was clear on the price. The workers arrived on time, worked efficiently together getting the job done, and cleaned up after themselves. After Jorge did my roof, another neighbor had him do partial rain gutter replacement for her home. I was really pleased with the job he did and plan to contact him when my roof needs replacing or my side fences. Recommend him to anyone who wants an excellent worker!"

Heating cable for roof installations FAQs
A typical heat cable uses about 5 watts per foot, regardless of the outside temperature. So, if your cable is 100 feet long, it uses around 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.
Yes, you can install heat tape in your gutters to help melt ice and keep water flowing smoothly. The system is mounted securely above the gutter brackets so the tape warms the gutter surface and prevents ice buildup. Be sure to have a qualified professional install the heat tape using proper techniques and hardware to ensure optimal performance and protect your gutter system.
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.
Both heated gutters and roof heating cables prevent ice buildup, but your choice depends on your roof design and aesthetic goals. Heated gutters provide a discreet solution that maintains your home’s exterior appeal, while roof heating cables offer powerful, widespread ice melting. Consider the installation requirements and energy needs to determine which system fits your property best.
Yes, roof heating cables prevent ice dams by quickly melting accumulated snow and ice along your roof edge. They create a warm channel that allows water to drain freely, eliminating the conditions that cause ice dams. This active ice-melting system protects your roof structure and minimizes the risk of water damage during severe winter weather.
Roof heating cables last between two and 10 years, depending on environmental exposure and installation quality. They're designed to work effectively for a period influenced by factors like climate severity, cable type, and how well you maintain them. Regular inspections and proactive maintenance can extend their lifespan and ensure continuous roof protection throughout winter.
