"EXCELLENT! Got a few quotes and researched my needs, Lenny was the most informative and had the best costs for the exact shingle I needed for my mountain property. He got the roof done in one day and the place was cleaner than when they got there. He does not have high overhead in offices/websites etc....and we benefitted from his lower costs. Would definitely be my first call for a roof need in the future."

"Was referred to chad from a friend, he was very helpful on what I needed to know and also discussed my roof age and the scenarios of waiting to re roof in 2 years or doing it with the solar. I have yet to get a utility bill and my connection fee is zero due to the credits I build up. Anyone thinking got going solar to save $ reach out to chad. Excellent experience."

"I had an insurance claim and my insurance company was only going to pay for a repair to my roof and a couple sections of gutters. Sam came in and got me a brand new roof & gutters AND 4 new windows that the adjuster completely skipped over. I highly recommend SH Roofing! Thanks again Sam!"

"On one of our rainy days I discovered a leak in an upstairs closet.  Bottom line, there were areas on roof in which flashing was never put in, and the area around the bathroom exhaust was never sealed off and we had wind damage on the back side of our roof.   We contacted 3 different recommended roofers for estimates, and decided to go with Rhino, good fair price and we had great communication with them. 
Everything from start to finish was completed in a timely and professional manner.  Insurance was only paying a partial amount of the cost to repair (for the wind damage), and Ryan worked with my company and provided a very detailed invoice in order for us to get a larger payout (costs in this area were higher than the estimate from insurance adjuster).  
I checked on status through out the day and could not believe how much debris was all over the driveway and yard, but every evening it was completely swept up and cleaned up.   
There was a slight delay in getting started due to weather, but we were communicated with first thing in the morning (and we were very flexbile on timing).   Everything was coordinated by them, including the drop off and pick up of the large construction dumpster.  We were very pleased with the outcome, price, and professionalism.   We would definitely use them again.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Basalt, CO

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.
