"This company is the worst contractor I have ever heard of. I hired them to add a $90,000 addition to my existing home. Every thing they did turned bad quickly. They poured a 48x25 concrete bad that has 3" waves throughout. They after talking to him and telling him it needed fixed he decided it would be ok to build the walls and structure of the addition on top of the terrible concrete. He changed my blue prints and made the addition roof structurally unstable. I hired an engineering company to verify my concerns. They did and said it all had to be town down. The contractor is now refusing to make the repairs and I am in the middle of legal action against him. DO NOT HIRE! Going to cost $225,000 to repair damages."

"I am a retired architect with much experience in construction project management. I received three proposals from highly rated metal roofing contractors. The proposal from B&A was in line with metal roofing costs published in architect's cost estimating publications. The proposals from the other two contractors were much higher. I awarded the job to B&A and observed as the crew did the work correctly according to industry guidelines. The crew was also very polite, friendly and well-behaved. Since completion of the work we have had massive rainfall and I have experienced no leaks or other problems. I plan to use B&A for additional projects at our homestead, notably our workshop building which stands near the house, and a garage which I have yet to build."

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