"I was the victim of a local criminal contractor, who installed a roof on my house that was garbage, that failed county inspection, that needed to be replaced. This criminal (ira Siegel @ Colorado Storm Solutions) refused to make it right. My only recourse was to take to social media to warn others about this lowlife. Brian Barnes of Colorado Native came across one of my postings and reached out to assist. Within days, Brian came to the house to inspect the roof. Brian then reached out to roofing shingle manufacturers to seek donated materials to lower the costs, as well as donating crew time to make this possible. I have never experienced such a reaction from a business previously, a local contractor with a true sense of community to right a wrong. I could not recommend any business, or service, more than I could recommend Colorado Native. And the previous contractor, well, he lost his licensing privileges in the Larimer County as a result. If you have an interior or exterior project and are seeking a contractor you can trust, Colorado Native is the contractor- quality work, integrity, and a sense of community."

"Gary, was very helpful and pointed me on the right direction after I had discussed my concerns. Had he been able to help me I would have gladly hired him. My system ended up being under warranty and he suggested I contact the manufacture as to not void my warranty."

"Highroad Roofing was very responsive and timely in the repair of my roof. They did the best cleanup I’ve ever had as it relates to trash and nails in the yard after the repairs. The summer after I had the roof replaced I noticed a few shingles missing, they were out within just a couple of days to fix the issue."

"They inspected the roof and provided an estimate of $1400 for repairing the issues that they had found.  I signed off on the estimate and had the work done, but the leak persisted and caused more damage.  Additionally, the owner seemed put off and slow to respond when I called about the problem.  It was only when I faxed them a document showing that they guaranteed their work that the company sent someone back out to correct the issue."

"Tom is an awesome guy. He has integrity and professionalism, and wants to do things the right way. At every turn, he listened to what we wanted and made it so. He stayed with budget and timelines, which we appreciated. We loved his vision for our basement. For example, we thought an island in the bar area would be good but he suggested it would disrupt the flow and make it feel crowded. I'm glad he cared enough to share his expertise because it ended up being the right call. When we moved into a new fixer-upperish home, we hired SMD to do a variety of projects from adding windows to backyard landscaping to granite installs. We couldn’t be happier with his work! I would highly recommend."

"I had a great experience with Lion's Roofing and Gutters LLC! They repaired a leak in my roof caused by a vent that had been removed during a previous roofing installation but not properly covered. Their team quickly identified the issue and efficiently fixed the problem where it was needed. The entire process was smooth and hassle-free. They were professional, easy to work with, and communicated clearly throughout. The cost was reasonable, especially since the repair wasn’t large enough to go through insurance. Overall, I’m very satisfied with their work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lion's Roofing and Gutters LLC for any roofing needs!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Gill, CO

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.
