"I recently hired Tri State Complete Home Repair to install a step and hand rail to my sister's home for easier access. Tri State Complete Home Repair responded right away and within 24 hours of my search! Tim listened to my concerns and came up with a solution that works very well. So well in fact that I had them come to my house the next day and install hand rails at the entrance of my home. The workmanship was great and Jim, the carpenter was wonderful! He listened to our concerns, came up with a plan and made it work! The job he did was sturdy and very secure. The job site was totally cleaned up afterwards. I highly recommend Tri State Complete Home Repair and will be sure to use them again when I need additional work done."

"Fusion Roofing was punctual for both our appointment for an estimate and also for work. Their quote for high quality shingle was by far the best of the four estimates we received. They were also promptly responded to emails and phone calls. There were a few glitches - ensuring contract had selected shingle color, placement of vents, and the gutter guard sub contractor. However, Fusion responded promptly, appropriately, and patiently to each concern. While it would be nice not to have any challenges, the fact that they were so responsive and quickly rectified each concern was reassuring and the reason we would hire again. It would be hard to beat their pricing and customer responsiveness. It was clear that the number one priority was customer satisfaction."

"I have used Advantage roofing for smaller issues over the past ten years and have been happy with their work. Even so, I still got other estimates when it came time to replacing my roof. I decided to go with Advantage again because of their prompt responsiveness, professionalism, and fair pricing. They were upfront and honest so there would be no surprises. They arrived on the scheduled day and did a great job on the roof replacement, Everything was cleaned up nicely. The gutters and gutter guards were replaced at a later date due to their workload, but I was made aware of this from the beginning. They were replaced and they look and work great. I'm extremely happy with my experience and with the outcome of the work. The owner, Tim Mallory, will personally check on the work. Jonna and Scott were also great to work with. I highly recommend Advantage Roofing if you are needing a new roof and gutters."

"Tom Bolt bailed us out of a messy situation created when the original contractor walked off the job after removing siding from my home, leaving it unprotected against the elements. Not only was he willing to complete the work at a very reasonable price, he moved us up in his schedule to get the job done much to the relief of my wife. Tom's crew did top notch work in a reasonable time, showed up as promised (actually started 1/2 day early), respected our property and landscaping, and were courteous, respectful, and patient with us, answering all our questions as they arose. I can't say enough in praise for the job they did and how much we appreciated Tom working us into his full schedule. We had a few contractors try to take advantage of our predicament by quoting almost twice what Tom Bolt's estimate was for. It was very refreshing to encounter a home improvement contractor with his ethics, definitely a stand-up guy. I would not hesitate to recommend his company, Construction Solutions Inc, for any home improvement project that you have, assuming it is a project that falls within their area of competency. I know Tom will be at the head of the line when it is time for us to start another project!"

"They were wonderful and extremely professional. They identified some issues that were due to improper installation when the home was built. They had to change out all of the old venting and it looks like it's in brand new condition. They made sure all of the colors matched perfectly. They completed the job by blowing in the proper amount of insulation. We have already seen a huge difference in our air conditioner's performance. It used to run non-stop on 80 degree days, but now it cycles throughout the day the way it should. We are so pleased with Dan's team that we requested a quote for a new roof and insulation for our lake house. We highly recommend Dan and his team."

"I called Woody to discuss setting up an appointment to get concrete steps fixed and for his opinion to see if my driveway needed to be repaved as well.  He answered on the first call, which was great!  But when I told him what I wanted, he says that they are really busy.  He asked me if I needed it right away and I said I didn't, but am shopping for quotes.  He said with the weather and the rain, he is too busy with other jobs.  This was fine with me because I could cross him off my list and look at other companies.  I'm sure another company will be happy to take my money.

"Someone came out to check our interior and exterior walls. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He said there were no major leaks in the mortar that were visible and the leaks were most likely coming from behind the gutter. He explained that the gutter would need to be removed, meaning I would need to hire a roofer since they do not deal with gutters or roofing and that I would end up paying for two jobs. He suggested instead that I find a roofer that would remove the gutter who was skilled enough to do the necessary tuckpointing to save us money. He also looked at the interior damage and told us the materials to buy because we said we wanted to repair that ourselves. He was extremely helpful and gave us the most economical suggestions rather than booking repairs with them and hiring a roofer. If we need work done to our masonry or foundation only in the future, I will definitely go with Hicon."

"I fought and fought with my Insurance Company for over a year with no results. I needed a new roof due to hail damage. I found Mr. Brown's company and called. I immediately received a phone call asking how he can help. I told him my situation with the roof and the Insurance he made an appointment with me within 24 hours and he was out to our house and up on the roof (himself) marking it and taking photos. He said there was major hail damage. He sat at my kitchen table while I called my Insurance Company. Once I received a claim adjuster Mr. Brown took over. I never again had to speak to the Insurance Company. I no longer had that stress of fighting for what was rightfully due me. This was not done in one phone call it took several and Mr. Brown was with me every step of the way. He did not stop! He finally got a settlement for me (which I was not able to due for a year) and we made a schedule to have the roof done. He scheduled a date - the date came the crew was there and Mr. Brown was on-site. He started his crew and then would come back and check in. His crew were professional and respectful and did a fantastic job. I had a roof repaired by another company on my first house many years ago and until the day I sold that house I was still picking up roof material out of the shrubs. NOT with this crew. I never found any material anywhere. The roof was installed and done in the time Mr. Brown said it would be and there was nothing for us to clean up. I can not recommend Mr. Brown and P & G Property Solutions enough. If it weren't for Mr. Brown I would have had to pay for my roof or....I may still be fighting to get it replaced. I highly recommend his company. Mr. Brown is a total professional and if he says he is going to do something it is done. There is no follow up on your part. It's done! I like that and you don't find that too much anymore. NOT related to the roof but.....after the wonderful experience I had dealing with Mr. Brown I found out he also installs carpet. You guessed it. He was hired. Again, the quality of work was unbelievable. The crew was professional did a wonderful job and no clean up! Mr. Brown was on site during that job as well. So Yes I give his Company and A+ and I have already proven I will use him whenever the need arises. You won't be sorry hiring him."

The saga to get our roof replaced has been a long one filled with headaches with insurance companies and more than a few sleezy "roofers".  However, we found Thomas and Master Craft Restorations and were blown away by his professionalism, the quality of his crew, and the speed of the work they did.  To keep this short - I highly suggest hiring Master Craft, we're going to hire them for more work around the house as well.

The background on our roof is we tried for a couple of years to get the roof replaced by the insurance company.  Since I had previously had a portion of the roof replaced (due to prior owner's shoddy renovation work..) they wouldn't cover the cost of the roof, even though there was enough damage that they should have done so.    However that took about two years to finally go through all the motions.  At that point I was tired of dealing with roofing companies promises that fell through and just hoped the roof would survive the winter.

As soon as the weather warmed up I started asking around for quotes and Thomas and Mastercraft had the best hustle that I saw.  Within a day of talking about the roof he was out taking measures and quickly came back to me with a quote,  I was still waiting for 2 other companies to contact me back and he was already done.  I immediately liked his professionalism and his understanding and since I had estimates done for a couple of years now (ranging from 6,500 (someone who had terrible reviews..)  to 18,000+! ) I knew his price wasn't the cheapest but was more than fair for a good contractor.   We quickly signed the contract, and as we had terrible rain the rest of the week, just kept hoping that an old roof wouldn't become a broken roof before his crew came.

Within a week (and after a week of really terrible rain) at the first sign of decent weather his crew showed up.  They were there about a half hour earlier than we expected and I'm not sure they ever take any breaks.  They worked from morning until it was night and came back the next day for another round.   I'm sure they took breaks, but for the life of me I couldn't say when they did.

They were really fast, kept the yard clean as they worked, and thoroughly swept the ground with a big magnet.   They had only a few shingles left over that we kept for future roof work and a small amount of felt.   There were a few spots where they had to do a bit more work than expected but they didn't make a fuss about it and just completed it as swiftly as they did everything else.

Thomas stopped by frequently to make sure we were happy and to check on the progress of the roof.  Genesis, who I think was the crew chief, was excellent at the end during the roof walk around.   She made sure that we checked on the Direct TV antenna and after we discovered it wasn't picking up the signal told us that if DirectTV gave us problems she would be happy to come back out and try to fix it herself.

The only real "problem" we had is that Thomas was so fast the HELOC hasn't finished processing yet!  As soon as the bank finishes taking their time we'll be hiring Thomas and Master Craft for more jobs on the house.

When I look for people to work with, I look to build long relationships, and Thomas and Master Craft are now first place on my list and someone I've recommended to a couple of friends already.   If you've made your way through this entire review,  I highly recommend Thomas and Master Craft,  I'm glad to have the roof saga complete and the house looks better than ever.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Dillsboro, 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.
