"I worked with James and he was fantastic to work with. We submitted my claim to insurance company and they denied it but James knew what to do next. We submitted and appraisal and my roof was covered. James is super nice and helpful. He would answer all my questions even if at crazy times of the day. My roof looks great with Owens Corning dimension shingles which James helped me pick out. I would high recommend them for your roofing needs."

"It went extremely well. The installers were very professional. They made sure everything was done correctly. If a problem was found, they made it right! Our house is older and they made sure it was fixed appropriately. Dave, the owner communicated at each step and kept us informed and updated. Two of the employees were especially professional and skilled, Chad and John. We did this big remodel because we both just retired. We could not be more pleased as we plan on staying here. I high,y recommend this company."

"Josh from AJ roofing was fantastic. He made our process easy and straightforward. The job was quoted and the work was finished in the time frame stated. We could not have asked for more. They have completed two roof jobs for us and a siding repair. We have another roofing project scheduled for the Spring and and will be seeking the services of AJ Roofing. Thanks Sharita & Cliff Hawkins"

"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."

"The service went pretty well. They came out in a fairly reasonable time. The cost went over the $3,995 Big Deal. It is all based on measurements and so forth. Part of the reason why I had it done was my roof was leaking. In probably two months after we got the spring rains, I do not think the leak area got fixed. So, I would probably have to call them back out. The price was fair for what was done; it was reasonable."

"We have used the services of this company last year, enclosing a screened porch and have been very pleased with the work performed. Representative Garry Garrett and installers Mike and Brian, (of both our porch enclosure and the windows and door) were very professional and delightful people to work with and did a very craftsman-like job. There was some delay in getting the job scheduled since our estimate and down-payment last fall, with an estimated installation time. This was not a concern for my wife and I. However, when the job was finished, Garry gave us a complimentary dinner for two coupon at an upscale nearby restaurant, which is much appreciated!"

"Owner Matt McQuiston was friendly and thorough in preparing our quote, and kept in touch throughout the project. His crew went about their tasks with quiet good humor and attention to detail. I would hire them again. He deals in fiberglass windows and doors, and they appear to be excellent products."

In late December of 2013, there was a leak that had appeared in a complicated valley. The 12/12 pitch roof drains down to a wall of siding. I came home to see Ice running down the wall of my front porch and found ice in the attic at that valley. I immediately called Don Jordan and told him the bad news. He came out within the hour and looked at the damage. Within a day or two, once the area had thawed, he sent someone out to see if an immediate repair could be made. That repairman did not find a leak and said that some roofs are just meant to leak, to which I immediately disagreed. The repairman relayed his findings to Don. Don called and told me that he did not agree with the repairman, and that roofs are not meant to leak. Don said he would do a free replacement when it got warmer. I noticed that it did not leak when it rained, but only when there was snow in the valley. I mentioned this to Don and he noted that it was probably an issue with the ice and water shield. As it got warmer outside, he followed up with me a couple of times to find out if it was leaking. Since it only leaked after the one heavy snow, I was willing to work around Don's other jobs. He let me know a couple of times that he had not forgotten about me and assured that he would take care of it before it got cold again. In mid September, Don sent out his repair expert to make sure the valley did not leak again. Don's repair expert, José, was able to confidently identify what was causing the leak and repair the valley properly. I had previously worked with Don and José back in 2010 for a repair on this same valley that had held up to rain and heavy snow, prior to hail tearing up the entire roof in 2011. After the first repair had held, I knew that José would do a great job. He meticulously repaired/replaced the valley and within 6 hours. Don and José were professional and cleaned up after the repair. There were 3.5 bundles of unused shingles left over from the project that I offered to buy from Jordan Roofing to have on hand the event that the Flagstone color scheme would be discontinued. Don gave me the extra shingles that as a thank you for being flexible with the timing of the free repair.

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