"We called Urban Exteriors since they had roofed several houses in our neighborhood. James came by and was extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He explained why we had leaks and how they would be rectified when they roofed. He then worked with our insurance agent which turned out to be a good thing. Our roof was done in one day and looks wonderful. They did everything that was promised and a little more. We also got new gutters, paint and several boards replaced. It was nice to have everything managed under one umbrella since each task depended on the others. James monitored the whole process to ensure all was as it should be. Work quality was excellent and timely. I highly recommend Urban Exteriors!"

"Really great. Michael the owner is dedicated to excellence in every aspect of his company. Michael took very good care of us, as did his office staff, and the roofers themselves. Michael immediately saw that there was no vent thru roof for the upstairs bath fan as we have no attic. He helped saved us from a potential future problem and added expense as we are selling our home. Everyone was so nice and respectful. His prices are competitive and fair. Roofing was delivered. Home was roofed in one day. They cleaned up everything. You never knew they were there. The roof looks fantastic. Michael came back personally to do the final walkthrough and he did some caulking for us (he didn't have to) so the wasps wouldn't go under the flashing. Michael is the best. WE ARE SO HAPPY WE CHOSE WYNDHILL ROOFING & GUTTERS LLC"

"I am in the process of selling my home, the buyers added a requirement to the inspection resolution that I enlist a specific contractor to perform some general repairs. I have not encountered a situation of this nature, and I decided to obtain a second opinion. I contacted Chris with Five Sons, he was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and friendly, going well above and beyond. Following a brief conversation this afternoon, he drove from the West side of Denver all the way over to my home, which is just off of E470 and Jewell, to provide me with peace of mind. He conducted the inspection and advised me that he agreed with the majority of the proposal the buyers had obtained, however turned down my offer for the work, stating that he preferred that I go with the buyers roofer, which should keep them happy and ensure I have a successful close on the house. Needless to say, I will be calling Five Sons for any/all major roofing work in the future. Thank you Chris!"

"This is the second time I had my roof done in the past twenty years; my first roofer retired so I needed to look for a new contractor.    I got estimates from a number of companies.  All American Exteriors wasn't the lowest bid but they were very close;  I chose the company based on the estimated cost, the number of positive reviews, the length of time they've been in business and their rating on the BBB site, and in the end, their proactive response and interactions with me during the bidding process.  
The company owner, Adrian, was the initial contact for the estimate.  He came to the house to look at the situation and ask/answer questions.  Adrian wasn't much of a "schmoozer/salesman" type, and certainly not aggressive in pushing me to commit to his company before I as ready to, which I appreciated.  He provided a quite thorough description of the work to be done, and provided a complete written estimate very quickly.  He was also very patient in addressing numerous questions about the available options for the roofing job, even while not pushing me to commit to his company right away. 
My house is relatively small, but I had a dire need to get the work done by a given deadline.  Adrian and the company office manager were very proactive in scheduling the job.  On the day that the job was scheduled, the crew showed up very early, ready to go.  Because I needed to get the job done ASAP, the owner/project manager was not there first thing (he was getting another job going too), but that didn't concern me because he was "squeezing my job in at a very busy time", and  since he was reachable by cell phone and was going to come to the job later in the morning.  
The only snafu in the job was with the boom truck delivering the shingles.  An issue with the driveway and the location of a neighbor's valued tree precluded letting the boom truck drive up on the driveway and load the shingles directly onto the roof.  
The roofing crew wasn't happy about having to carry bundles of shingles up to the roof, but I felt that it wasn't that big a problem (not that many bundles to carry up, a small one story ranch, and a very cool day).  While the roofing crew supervisor was very courteous in expressing the crew's displeasure in having to carry the materials up to the roof, I was a bit concerned that the crew might be less motivated to provide quality in their work - but that didn't hold to be true.  
Adrian came over to the job later in the morning, and again in the afternoon, to check in on how things were going & I assume to provide some direction to the crew.  Adrian and the office manager (Elizabeth) were very responsive in working with the city to get my inspection scheduled and completed.  The city said pictures would suffice but I insisted that the inspector come to my property and do a walk through on the roof itself - and that had to be coordinated with the roofing company because they had to provide the ladder to get up on the roof.  
The job was done in mid-July and as I write this a few months later, so far so good.  I was pleased with the whole process, the cost, the quality of the materials and the work done, and with the professionalism/response of the company owner, employees, and sub contracting crew.   If there's a place to nominate this company to the Angie's List "hall of fame" I will do so.

"Before purchasing the home, a whole house fan was installed. In order to add increased vent capacity, 5 roof vents were added but they were installed incorrectly and began to leak. I called Roofing Connection and they came out to quote the vent repair. While on the roof, it was discovered that 3 vent stacks that were recently replaced by another roofer had been incorrectly installed (crack on crack with felt showing.) With a quote for the all the repairs, Roofing Connection came out the next day and completed 85% of the work. Due to inclement weather, two additional trips were necessary. All the repairs are top notch. The wood is tight. Absolutely no crack on crack or felt showing. No nail heads showing. Vents were replaced with metal and painted versus the plastic alternatives. Vent stacks were sealed and painted with all the wood around them reworked. Paint was top quality brand. The Roofing Connection team took the time to blow the roof clean as well... minor but still an attribute of quality work. It is obvious that pride is taken in their work. Ron and Wade were excellent and a pleasure to work with. Ron provided a lot of education to a first time cedar shake roof owner."

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