"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."

"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!"

"Mitch Thompson came out to speak with my husband and me. He worked around our work schedules.   We had in mind what we wanted and after talking with Mitch and seeing his window that he suggested we chose the window he showed us.  We wanted the inside to be wood like the Pella Windows we had purchased and installed ourselves in a patio room in the past 4 years.  We found thru Mitch's demonstration that our Pella's weren't very energy effecient.  We were thinking that the price of the Triple-Pane windows that Mitch showed us would be out of the ball park in cost.  But they really weren't at all.  They were safer (has a lock so the window doesn't go up past a certain point), they were far more effecient in energy savings AND they have a layer on the inside that we are staining to match the woodwork we are going to surround them with.  We have a set of 3 windows in a row in our living room and they are stained and surrounded with the oak wood we wanted to use and they look really great!!!  Mitch was very nice and listened to all our concerns and we had a nice experience working with Mitch and his company. 
  When the windows came into the company's shop Nick called to set up a time to install the windows.  Nick and his father, Carl, came out and got all 14 windows in and looking great and ready for our staining and inside work in a very short time.  They took away our old windows and all the packing of the new windows, left us with NO Clean-up at all. Nick and Carl were really great and Nick gave me tips to staining and finishing the trim to match. 
  From start to finish working with Mitch and his company, Thermal Window and Siding, Inc., has been a great experience and the windows are beautiful. 
  We would recommend Mitch and his company to anyone needing new windows.

"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 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.
