"The project went great, AIC met with my insurance claims adjustor, they were able to do a full roof replacement and provided me an excellent warranty. Would highly recommend them to anyone needing a roof replacement or repairs done to their home."
The homeowner was able to see this ripple of shingles from the ground! This was caused by high winds and was part of the reason the homeowner gave us a call.
During our inspection, we were able to see exactly where the shingles had blown off and other areas of damage on the roof. This homeowner needed a full roof replacement.
At AIC, we care about the small details. Before we started to remove the old roof from this house, we covered the HVAC units to prevent any debris from causing damage!
We will always tear off the old roof before installing the new roof. This keeps warranties intact and gives the customer a better product with a new roof!
All of our roof installations get a layer of underlayment before the shingles go on. This protects the roof's deck from moisture!

Small jobs welcome

I'm working in the area helping homeowners with storm damage and insurance-covered roof replacements.\nWe're offering FREE roof and gutter inspections, just to see if there's any damage that might qualify for a claim.\nThe inspection only takes about 10-15 minutes, and I'll let you know exactly what I find. If everything looks good, great! If there's damage, I can walk you through the next steps and help with the insurance process. We also handle interior issues like leaks, burst pipes, flooded basements, and fire damage. Is there a day this week that works best for a quick free inspection you can reach out to me \nKevin: 502-210-8209\nEmail: Greer1855@gmail.com

"It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. There was an issue with it and I got a refund for it. I called them and they said they had already come when I wasn't home. They said they inspected it and I needed all this repair work. There wasn't any evidence that they had been there to inspect my roof. You would have to get up on a ladder and there was no sign they had been there. The gutters hadn't been touched. I didn't believe they had actually been there. I felt they were selling me a package that they could sell to anybody. I didn't feel like I got anything for the purchase so I got a refund for it. They didn't do what they claimed they did."

"BHC replaced the roof on my house recently due to damage from a bad wind storm. Brandyn and crew did an amazing job! He helped me navigate dealing with insurance and even worked with them directly to get everything settled. When his crew left after finishing the work, the cleanup was impeccable, It looked like they'd never been here (aside from the new roof), as it should be. They even came back out to do another yard sweep for nails to make sure none were missed the first time. I can't recommend them enough!"

"Their prices were very reasonable. The part that I was really concerned about was the ecological sound cleaning solution that they would use because I had just planted flowers. It was just water and a tiny bit of dishwashing fluid. They did an excellent, excellent job."

"We chose 5 roofing contractors from Angie's List. When they came to give us an estimate we told them that price was not our only criteria, we wanted a quality job. Honestly they all seemed fine except for one thing or another. For example , in 1 estimate the gutter had a grater type screen, I didn't like it. Another estimate the contractor did his math wrong and his estimate was half of everyone else. I think they would have been fine but.... In the end we chose Beams because of Brad Rigney. He came and gave an estimate and nailed down a shingle on the house next door for us, the estimate was competitive with the others and frankly Brad impressed us both. When the work crew showed up Brad was there to introduce us to the work foreman Ceasar and showed him specifics like the trim we needed replaced and that we were keeping our down spouts. Then the crew went to work and removed our old roof and laid down some sort of under roof that was waterproof and insulated. (I worried about rain noise. If you've ever been in a barn during a rain storm you know the noise can be deafening.) anyway, the next day they put the roof on and that evening we had a rain storm, no noise, not a whisper. So they came ,they roofed, they cleaned up and a few days later(weather delay) the gutter sub-contractors came and within 2-3 hours had the new gutters on. Thru it all Brad kept in touch and on top of everything. One small snafu, the preliminary contract called for 5" white gutters, however by the final contract I wanted 6" green gutters to match our new metal roof. When the gutter contractors came , they had run out 25' of 5" white gutters. When we told them it wasn't correct they called Brad he talked to them and they said they would be back tomorrow with the right product. And they were, no fuss no muss no anger just kinda oops our bad. I have hated dealing with contractors in the past. ( we've all been through it ) With Brad as Beams representative we were in excellent hands. I only gave Beams a B on price because it wasn't the cheapest estimate, but I do believe it was the best and I would recommend them to anyone. the whole experience was hassle free and how many times can you say that about a contractor that has worked on your home."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Glenview, KY

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.
