"Eads Roofing did a great job. We had four companies give estimates. Although Eads was not the least expensive, they are the only ones who properly identified the problems causing wood to rot. Corey Casper, who managed the project, explained it clearly and spelled out the options. When it came time for the job, it was done quickly and with high quality. They did a great job matching the gutter color to our existing paint, and we're very happy with the quality of both the woodwork and the replacement gutters. The price was fair for the work done. Overall, we were very happy with Eads Roofing's work, and we'd hire them again."

"After I called, they came out the next day to look at the project. It took a couple of days to get the estimate via e-mail. I accepted it immediately and they scheduled the project for Friday, but unfortunately had to reschedule for Monday because weather prevented them from finishing a previous job Friday morning. All in all, the project was done in less than two weeks from first call to actual completion. The price includes the cost of the door. Having them get it was a convenience, but their price was approximately $100 more than the cost of buying the same door at one of the big box stores, hence the slight downgrade on cost."

"Blue Ladder was extremely responsive to our request for an estimate, working with our insurance carrier and timely completion of the job. We experienced a slight leak around roof venting shortly after the install and they were right there to handle it immediately. The roof looks great and we would definitely use them again!"

"This story starts with the estimate.  Mitch and George came to our house to give us an estimate.  They answered all of our questions and, while it is not in our nature to do this, we accepted their estimate during the visit.  We believed they were honest, sincere, knowledgeable and experienced.  We also felt they gave us a really good price. 
Two days later, I was second guessing myself.  I was worried about the hasty decision we'd made and reviewed the paperwork.  I worried that perhaps an error had been made in the specifications because the price really was a good one.  I was right at the 3-day cancellation limit and honestly, freaked out a bit.  I put a stop payment on the deposit check.  Then I called Mitch.  He called me back right away.  He assured me that I was getting what I thought I was getting.  He wrote in the missing specs on contract and emailed me a copy of the corrected contract.  He even wrote in an upgraded glass because he wanted to make sure I was happy (I didn't hold him to it.)  I felt bad about the stop payment I put on the check.  He said not to worry about it and said I didn't owe him a dime until the job was complete.  (How nice was that??)
When the windows came in, the installation went great.  It took two days.  The two men (Nick and Carl--I think I have that right) who installed the windows did an exceptional job.  They were a pleasure to have around.  They were neat and tidy.  The used the special exterior trim we'd purchased and made sure the windows were watertight and solid (they had to replace one rotted sash).  I really can't say enough about them.  They didn't just figure out how to use the trim.  They figured out the best way to use the trim.  I felt like they treated our house like their own.
After the installation, I found I couldn't lock the slide-down screens in place.  George came out to check it and couldn't get them to lock either.  He had a Pella warranty guy come out.  He showed me that it just took a little more force when the windows were brand new.  All in all, our experience with Thermal Window and Siding was exceptional in every way.  I would recommend them to others and will use them to replace the remaining windows in my house.  They are very responsive to the customer."

"Wonderful company!! Garry was on time to do our estimate and presented enough information about the windows. No high-pressure sales tactics. Once hired to replace our windows, they came to the house to do a final measuring. We received our windows in about 4 weeks, which is exactly the time frame they gave us. On the day of installation, Mike and Brian arrived on time (actually a few minutes early!) and discussed the installation plan. I could tell Mike and Brian care about their work. They did not rush and took the time to do things right. We are very pleased with Federal and will hopefully be able to hire them to replace the rest of our windows next year."

"Our brick ranch house was in need of TLC on the old fiber board siding, which my wife and I have painted four times ourselves. We wanted to make the exterior maintenance free with a good quality vinyl siding. We contacted five separate companies, four of which were listed in Angie’s list, to get estimates. We chose The Home Improvement Co. They were neither the highest nor the lowest estimate. We based our decision on the reviews in Angie’s list, pictures of the work that had been accomplished on other jobs, and Matt’s straight forward honest presentation. Matt convinced us that one of the most important details of this work is an experienced crew that knows how to work with the material. We had chosen the insulated backed vinyl siding. The crew (Kevin and Rueben) and Matt arrived Friday and started the demolition on the west side of the house. We were having all the old siding removed and replaced with new board, moisture barrier, and the vinyl siding. They completed that side including cleanup in one day. The whole job was completed by the following Friday. The crew was great. They were friendly and professional, and they worked well together as a team. They answered any question we had and honored any request we made. They also wrapped all the windows and doors with aluminum coil. They transformed the exterior of our home. We are completely satisfied. We comment to each other every time we pull into the driveway how good our home looks now. We still plan on replacement windows and a new back door. The Home Improvement Co. will be first on our list for consideration. Thank you, Matt, Kevin, and Rueben, for a job well done."

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