"A metal roof was installed as part of the construction of a new residence. The metal roof included incorrect materials that were installed improperly. Ready Roofer was able to replace the roof with their superior Euroshield hail-proof product in a timely way. I appreciated the level of supervision and quality that went into the replacement roof. I would strongly recommend Ready Roofer for projects in Northern Colorado."

"Ulises did a great job on my fence, completed in a timely fashion, & made sure I was satisfied with the job before he left. I found him to be dependable (arriving when he said he would), courteous and patient. I will be calling him again and definitely would recommend him! NOTE: He also paints & landscapes. Yay!"

"

Our point of contact was Gary Courtright who did an excellent job in communicating, estimating, and coordinating the repairs and roofing shingle replacement for our rather large and expansive home in Fruit Heights, Utah, where in some years, the canyon winds through our town can exceed 100 MPH.  After 25 satisfactory years on our old roof, we contracted Kimball to complete some extensive roofing plywood repairs, re-flashing, re-membraning, and re-edging of the entire 6,000 SF roof.  Per Gary's expert advice, plus Louie and Rohojolo outstanding installation, we ended up with a very attractive and fully sealed roof that will probably last twice as long as our previous roof.  We now have a Tamko 50 year architectural shingled and ridged roof that can now withstand winds up to 150 MPH.  SUPER. JOB WELL DONE !

"June, 2024-informed by insurance company my H/O insurance premium was doubling unless an Impact Resistant roof was installed. Luckily I found Smoky Hill Roofing! New roof installed in 1 day 7/16/2024. 2 minor follow-on items remained: 1. Sam Shelburne, S/H's Gen'l Mgr, came on a weekend to paint roof ventillation turbines; 2.Patio roof chips repaired by Master Craftsman Miguel of First Gutters, after finding cedar material to match 70 year old house, cutting to proper size, installing (akin to putting together a puzzle) caulking and painting with base paint I had. Our home looks great and you'd never know all this work was done. Many thanks to Sam, Charlie, Ruth and Miguel!!!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Cheyenne, WY

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.
