"Nicolas removed a tree from our front yard. He was really efficient and pleasant to work with. I have owned a business for over 30 years and worked with many contractors. I would highly recommend him! He is also very affordable."

"Cochran installed new half-round galvanized seamless gutters on my home located in a historic district in Indianapolis. Several install companies I contacted either didn't reply or wouldn't take on the job. Cochran was more than willing to help me achieve my goals. I was surprised to learn half-round gutters could be done seamlessly. The PM assigned to my project provided exceptional service. The whole process was very simple and easy to understand. At all points of the process I felt well taken care of. Cochran focuses on effective communication which is hard to find as a homeowner seeking services. The material used on the project exceeded my expectations and the install crew was very knowledgeable, friendly, left our home in great condition, and provided a finished product that we are extremely happy with. I would highly recommend Cochran for any of your exterior home needs."

"Awesome! HIGHLY recommend! Rick came to my home for an estimate. He arrived promptly and he gave me a lot of good information which helped me make a decision. He educated me about what to look for in windows as well as what set Home Improvement apart from other vendors. The in-home visit was followed by a trip to their showroom to see the full size window. Installation day was excellent. They arrived on time, started work promptly and completed the installation of three windows in a few hours. They were very respectful of my home and my pets. Their clean up was spot on both inside and outside. Owner Matt was on-site and available for most of the job. Follow up after the installation was excellent. I think one hallmark of an outstanding company is not only how well they do the work but also how well they respond to a problem. There was an issue with one of the windows and it was resolved promptly and very satisfactorily. If you are considering window replacement, give Matt and Rick a call. Excellent service. Excellent product. I love my new windows! They will be replacing my downstairs windows this spring."

"Both jobs went very well. No pressure sales, which I like, just down to earth. The installers were very professional and prompt. I am looking forward to winter, well, almost. I know the windows are much better than my original and will be helpful thi winter. Thanks Neil and all!

"Excellent!! Tim Sanders did a fantastic job. He was great to work with. Every day he worked, he cleaned up after himself. He put carpet on the roof to protect my shingles. He was very polite and very experienced. Not only would we recommend Sanders and Sons, we will use them again, if need be."

   Be very careful if you are planning to do business with Bee Windows. Last year on 9/23/14 we signed a $9000.00 contract

to install seven sliding and four custom windows with Bee. The job was delayed because a window was broken, and again

because a  custom mismeasured window did not fit. After I refused a request from an employee for final payment I received

a call from a male co owner and I told him I would pay when the job was finished.

     I made final payment on 11/26/14, only to discover the night latches had not been installed. After making at least a dozen

calls and a series of broken promises to come out and discuss the situation,  a lady made a surprise visit to my house and 

identified herself as the co owner and said the latches couldn't be installed once the windows had left the factory and promised

Bee would cut and paint customized flat sticks to vent the windows. While this 80 year old senior was well aware that this was

a rotten deal, I didn't feel up to a fight and agreed to this fix. Well over a month has passed and I have heard nothing from Bee

regarding the "flat custom sticks."

     These people (when I could get ahold of them) were unfailingly polite. Although it sometimes felt like pulling teeth to get it

finished (with exceptions noted), the finished product was acceptable. However, I can't help feeling like we have been stung

by the Bees. And to think, I had such high hopes when the queen walked in.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Buck-creek, 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.
