"The existing roof on the house and garage was torn off, new sheet decking installed on top of old board decking of the house, new flashing, drip edge, shingles installed on house and garage. Installed new ridge vent on house. Some of the siding that needed to be removed to install flashing was damaged as can happen but was replaced with new. It was a difficult roof with multiple dormer windows and odd angles but they did a careful job and I've received many compliments on the appearance from neighbors. Good job with clean up too. The owner is easy to reach and quick to reply to all questions I had. From day I asked for quote until day completely finished was under 5 weeks. Without hesitation I'd recommend them to others. Competitively priced compared to two other bids."

"JD Hostetter did excellent work! They were good to work all the way through the process - from getting an estimate, to scheduling, to doing the actual work. The wood trim that they replaced looks very good now, and was expertly installed with a good fit and good weatherproofing / caulking. They were helpful when we picked colors for the paint, and let us know what color schemes are popular for our style of house. The work was done quickly when it started. Great job! Will definitely hire them again for exterior repairs."

"We have used Russell Hill Contracting on two different homes - each resulted from an insurance claim. One for a total roof replacement, and another for all new exterior - roof, siding, soffit, fascia. In both projects, they were great advocates for us throughout the claim process. The work they did was great and they were sure to clean up thoroughly. I highly recommend Russell Hill Contracting!"

"The purchase was made in November 2016 but due to inclement weather and cold temperatures the actual project was postponed until suitable weather. Mr. Wilson monitored weather conditions, kept me informed, and the work was scheduled one of the very first days the temperature and weather permitted. The Apex crew were on-the-dot punctual. The work was done in nearly the exact time duration as estimated and the final bill was comparable with the estimate. Their work was done according to regulation and the work inspected -- something that the previous owners had obviously not done when the project was first completed. It is so nice to know that the roof is solid and up to code. It looks nice to not see the rotted boards, and I really appreciate parking and not getting dripped on!"

"It’s too bad Angi limits the stars to five, because our experience with David and the crew of Indy Legacy Builders definitely warrants more. In the past 18 months our home weathered several hail storms that led to insurance reimbursed roof replacements for all the homes in my neighborhood, with the exception of ours. After three insurance inspections, multiple claims filed, AAA was still denying our storm damage claim(s). About two months ago David was passing through our neighborhood, by chance he ran into my wife and before long our ailing roof became the topic of focus. I later met with David, and within a couple minutes it was obvious his knowledge of insurance adjudication, insurance law and building code was second to none. About two weeks later AAA sent out another inspector, this time David was on the scene as our advocate. In a very professional manner he ensured that the inspector accurately documented damage and provided indisputable hail maps confirming our home was in the path of the aforementioned storms. Three days later our claims were finally approved, three weeks after that a new roof and gutters was installed courtesy of AAA and Indy Legacy Builders. If not for David and his team, we’d still have a damaged roof and the prospect of having to pay for a new roof exclusively out-of-pocket."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Brownsburg, IN

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.
