"We used JK for our siding project. Andy was great to work with...very respectful, professional, and available to answer questions at any point before, during, or after project completion. Their prices are competitive with the market. The crew was amazing, showing up on time and fully cleaning up when the project was complete. Our house looks amazing and we noticed right away that our house was quieter and warmer. I would definitely recommend JK for your project."

"I had GoTo Roofing save an old barn. They replaced rotting roof-beams, replaced all of the decking, shingled the entire roof and added gutters.

Rapid Roofing is proud to serve Southeast Michigan and has been Restoring Peace-of-Mind for over 25 years. Call us today at (734) 895-9553 or visit us on the web at www.rapidroofing.com to schedule your consultation today! We've pioneered a set of standards called the Successful Project Assurance Guide for homeowners. The guide gives homeowners like you a fighting chance for a successful project though a set of high standards by which to measure contractors of any type. This will allow you to judge beforehand whether or not a contractor is likely to do your job right the first time.

"***PLEASE READ BEFORE GOING WITH RAPID ROOFING!!!! Short story: Don't go with them - they do terrible work and you will regret it, but you probably won't know until it's too late. If you do, get *everything* inspected afterwards, and don't pay until it's right. Full story: We recently purchased a house with a roof done by Rapid Roofing 2021 or 2022. I went into the attic to figure out some ducting up there and noticed that there was ambering in the joists. I found out this was caused by over heating. I looked into this more, and figured out that there wasn't anywhere remotely enough air flow to allow hot, humid air to escape. What little ventilation was coming from the soffits It is 100% illegal and not to code to install roofs without the necessary airflow - it causes over heating which damages the roof and the wood, and can cause mold issues due to condensation. According to Michigan Building Code 1203.2 Ventilation required: "The net free ventilating area shall be not less than 1/150 of the area of the space ventilated." We're lucky if we have 1/10000 - there's ventilation at the roof ridge, but zero replacement air vent lower in the roof. They should have known that ventilation was required. We reached out to Rapid Roofing to see what it would take to fix this - they said it was out of warranty (you have to sign up within 1 year of purchasing the house to transfer it, which is BS, but I guess that was in the contract), but they said would see what they could do since they acknowledged it was their mistake. The head of customer service gave a long story about how their quality had gone down and he was trying to make things right now that he was in a position to do so. We had even suggested that we'd be willing to pay. After several calls with them promising to fix it strung out over months of us having to hound them because they don't return calls, they then stopped answering calls and ghosted us. So I guess we'll be paying to have someone else put in proper, legal venting. Don't use them. Don't trust them. Don't waste your money on them, you will regret it. We're looking into the possibility of suing them, you don't want to be in the same place as us in a few years."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Dexter, MI

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.
