Turtle Roofing was born in 2010. We focus on roofs, gutters, and siding with an emphasis in insurance representation. This was done because our two owners felt our customers were being underrepresented and taken advantage of when large storms come through and damaged their largest assets. Over the last decade, that same drive to provide our customers with a one-of-a-kind roofing experience has grown into helping over a thousand customers across Nebraska and Iowa. We take great pride in being able to continually protect the shell of your home or business!

"Turtle Roofing got me set up with a new roof after the hail storms that blew through Papillion in April 2024, and I'm so glad that Daythan knocked on my door that day or else I'm sure the whole experience would have been much more difficult with another company. I can't recommend them enough! If you need any roof, gutters, or exterior work done, give Turtle Roofing a call, and ask for Daythan! — For anyone interested in more details, I'll go a little more in depth on my experience. I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Turtle Roofing, and especially Daythan Prusia. Daythan was working with a neighbor down the street, and was going by knocking on doors to see if anyone else was needing roof work done, and boy did I. My roof was old and got really beat up by the hail storms in April 2024. I immediately felt that Daythan was there to help me through the whole process, and he really did. I can't tell you how much I appreciated that, as I'm a fairly new homeowner and have never gone through anything like this. He helped me call and report the claim with my insurance company, he was there when the Adjuster came out to do his inspection, and made sure I always knew what was happening and what the next steps were. Most importantly, he was always accommodating and helpful, even when I had multiple mishaps/issues with getting the claim checks from my insurance company and getting them endorsed by and sent back from my mortgage company. I know that I must have been a real pain as it took until February 2025 to get my bill fully paid thanks to the issues with the checks, but Daythan never stopped being understanding and continued to advise me during the whole process. While I hope that I don't need to repair my roof any time soon, haha, I know that I'll call up Daythan and Turtle Roofing and they'll take care of me in no time!"

We'll design and install your next home improvement, worry free.

"I am an electrical contractor. I was hired by United Services to install four lights on a customer's house after the siding was completed. The siding crew did a terrible job at the lighting boxes. I had to cut the siding that covered the electrical boxes so I could install the lights. I also had to purchase matching siding parts to support the light fixtures correctly. And I purchased new mounting hardware for the used fixtures that Mark gave me to install on the house. My bill, with parts was about $350.00. I have never been paid a dime. I should have put a lien on the house, but I could not believe that I would get ripped off by these people for such a small job. I also could not bring myself to make this the homeowners problem. Hire someone who pays their bills."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Council Bluffs, IA

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.
