Everything you need to know about heating cables
1What a heating cable saves you from every winter
A heating cable prevents ice from forming along the roof edge. Meltwater drains away before it refreezes. No need to climb onto the roof to shovel snow or chip away ice by hand—and one less repair bill when ice eventually damages shingles and gutters. Over several winters, it’s often the most cost-effective option.
2 The time to act, not wait
The cable must be in place before the first snowfall. Once ice has formed, it can’t melt it—only prevent the next layer. Every week you wait is a week without protection. The electrical cost remains modest compared to the repairs an ice dam can cause on an unprotected roof.
3A system that works at the right time, not all the time
The cable activates between -9°C and 2°C—the range where meltwater is most likely to refreeze. Outside that window, it stays idle. Targeted protection, no wasted electricity, and it runs on its own once installed.
4Why placement makes all the difference
A poorly positioned cable protects poorly—or not at all. Our technicians install it along the roof edge and gutters, where water actually collects, with special care on metal roofs to prevent overheating. It’s this kind of detail that makes the difference between an installation that lasts and one you’ll have to redo next year.
5Protection you can verify, season after season
A properly installed cable lasts for years. A check before each winter confirms it’s still running at full capacity on the day you need it. A simple step—so you don’t find out in the middle of a storm that a system meant to protect you isn’t doing anything anymore.

Our heating cable services: installation on all types of roofs
- Sloped roofs: the cable runs along the edge and gutters, where ice accumulates the most
- Flat roofs: installation along drains and areas where water stagnates, to prevent freezing at low points
Types of roofing where we install heating cables:
1Asphalt shingle roofs
The most common type in Quebec. The cable is attached directly to the shingles along the edge without damaging them.
2Elastomeric membrane roofs
Installation targets drains and low areas where water stagnates before freezing.
3Slate or heritage roofs
Appropriate fastening is necessary to avoid damaging the material. The layout follows the same principles but requires more precaution.
4Mansard roofs
Multiple slopes and angles require a more complex layout. Every at-risk section must be covered, including valleys and junctions.
Our approach: inspection first, intervention second
No two roofs age the same way: pitch, materials, and exposure all change the nature of the problem—and the solution. Our roofers first assess your exact setup to pinpoint the best-suited service. You receive a clear recommendation, tailored to your building and your budget.

Roof Replacement
Look beyond just another repair.
An endless cycle of repairs often signals a deeper problem. At some point, roof replacement costs less than a series of temporary fixes. The chosen material takes into account your building and Montreal's climate, with installation compliant with RBQ standards at every step.

Roof Repair
Fix the problem before it worsens.
The freezing and thawing of the Quebec winter weaken Montreal roofs, often without being visible at first glance. Blisters, peeling, cracks around penetrations: our roofers trace back to the real cause rather than patching the symptom. The roof repair is then carried out with materials chosen to last over time.

Roof Inspection
A clear report is better than a costly surprise.
Identifying a fragile area before it becomes a structural problem is the whole point of an annual roof inspection. Our roofers examine the membrane, flashings, drains, and junctions. You then receive a detailed report to prioritize work according to your budget.
