"I cannot say enough wonderful things about Faithful Roofing and Masonry. Martino and his team did a remarkable job on my home. In just about four days, they replaced damaged wood on my roof, installed beautiful new shingles, and completed the siding on the front of my house. The materials are high quality and everything looks like it will last for many years to come. The craftsmanship truly speaks for itself. I am so thankful that Martino and I crossed paths. Martino was respectful, punctual, and completely true to his word. He explained every step of the process clearly and made sure I understood what was being done. I especially appreciated how he used drone technology to show me detailed before-and-after pictures — that level of transparency and professionalism meant so much. I am beyond pleased with the results and honestly left speechless. Please book him! If you are looking for roofing or masonry work, p"

Customers say: Quality work

"Bob the Builder installed new siding, gutters, facia and soffits on our house, along with reusing our new gutter guards from the old gutters. The quality of materials used and workmanship was top-notch. The entire project was executed flawlessly, and the cleanup was superb! The crew was not only efficient but also incredibly polite. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Bob the Builder again for any other project in the future, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of siding services.""

"He is a thief, a liar, and a con artist. He was hired for a kitchen remodel that was going to cost over $30,000, and I gave him a $12,500 deposit to start within two weeks. He resulted in a lot of 'no-calls, no-shows,' so I requested my money back since he broke the contract by not starting on the agreed date. I asked for a full refund of my deposit in October. It is now the end of December, and I have not heard from him—despite many promises since October that he would return my money."

"Mike and his crew cut down a very huge tree that had large limbs overhanging my neighbors garage. They also pruned some large limbs on another large tree that were overhanging my house. Excellent cleanup when finished. Mike is very friendly and seems to be very honest. I had several other estimates but Mike's price beat all of the others by far!!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Crown Point, 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.
