Snow melts. Water runs. Temperatures drop. Then it freezes all over again. That cycle can create ice dams, icicles, frozen gutters, unsafe walkways, and damage along the roofline. In this climate, your roof needs more than shingles or metal panels. It needs a system that manages snow, ice, and water before they create bigger problems. That is where heat tape and snow stops come in.

That is where heat tape and snow stops come in.
Peak Construction does not just throw heat cable on a roof and call it good.
We look at where snow builds up, where water needs to drain, where ice forms, and where sliding snow could create damage or safety concerns. Then we design the system around your roof.
The difference is knowing what your roof actually needs before installing anything.
With more power, heat, and cost, traditional zigzag systems are not the most efficient way to manage snow.
Traditional heat cable may appear to cover a larger area, but it often requires up to three times more cable and significantly more power to operate. While exposed cable may look like it is heating more of the roof, the effective heated area is not nearly as efficient as a metal heat edge system. Our metal heat edge system uses heat tape installed beneath metal flashing for a cleaner, more protected look.
The metal flashing helps distribute heat up to 6 inches on each side, creating a more efficient, cost-effective, and visually appealing solution for managing ice and snow along your roof edge.
Snow stops help hold snow on the roof so it does not slide off suddenly in large, heavy sheets. That matters above walkways, entries, garages, decks, patios, vehicles, landscaping, and lower roof sections.

Peak evaluates your roof pitch, roofing material, gutters, valleys, drainage paths, walkways, entry points, and existing problem areas before recommending a solution.
That matters because the wrong setup can create new problems. That is why our 30 years of experience is so valuable.
Peak’s job is to understand the roof first, then install the right system.
If your home gets icicles, frozen gutters, ice buildup, or sliding snow in the wrong places, Peak Construction can help you find the right snow management solution.
