"The first time I used Rock Creek Roofing and Construction was for the electric line install from my house to the new shop I had built. They did a great job and I haven’t had a bit of trouble. They also tore out and installed carpet for my whole house. They were quick and clean taking all the old carpet and cleaning up scraps. The job was complete in just a day and a half. The biggest job Rock Creek Roofing and Construction has done for me is replacing my roof and siding on my new shop. The crew came in and took the old shingles off and started replacing them on the first day. They were able to finish putting the new shingles on and cleaning up the next morning. Most of which was cleaning up and making sure there were no nails or shingles on the ground. The gutters and siding on my new shop had hail damage and had to be replaced. I am completely happy about the way it all went back up. I would recommend Rock Creek Roofing And Construction for any of your home improvement needs."

"If you want an immediate reply to your inquiry, professionalism, and friendly and quick scheduling of service, Anthony at DTS Plumbing is your guy. Anthony came to my house on a Monday to determine if I needed to replace my sump pump (I had seen slight amount of water following a huge storm) and possibly install a back-up battery unit. He recommended a new sump pump to replace my old system (original to the house), but advised me NOT to spend the extra money on a back-up battery unit. He could have easily have told me to spend that additional cash on a back-up, but instead won a customer for life with his honesty and integrity. My new sump pump was scheduled for install just two days after Anthony visited. It took him less than 10 minutes to complete the job, and I was immediately on my way back to work. I took advantage of the $395 special deal, and the unit has worked perfectly (and is so quiet I can barely hear it). Thank you, Anthony, for a superb job!"

"Joe Zuber, owner, responded promptly to my request for a bid. I received three bids and his was the best. His crew showed up on the date agreed, introduced themselves and worked constantly until the job was complete. They had the old siding removed and cleaned up in less than one day. The crew was extremely polite and considerate; I was happy to have them around. The finished job makes my house look very tidy and well-cared for. The new flashing and treatment of all the rot that was beginning to appear give me peace of mind that my house is in top condition for years to come. Joe is exceptionally fair and you can trust him completely to do what he says he will do."

"In mid-May, I had a salesperson come to my home to get a quote on the repair of siding around different parts of my home, as well as a couple windows to be replaced. This went fine and was quoted a certain amount with 1) the understanding that I would be told if they found more bad siding to let me know and 2) to use my paint so it would match. I paid my 10% and was
told it would be about 6 weeks before they would get to my home.  I purchased about $100 dollars of the exact paint color for the workers once the time came.
I had contacted the company in June to let them know that we would be out for about 2 weeks in July on vacation and told them the date ranges. A week before we left on vacation, I contacted them again to let them know and was told they would let the job supervisor know.
The day I left for vacation, I was notified that they were at my home and ready to begin work. I told them that this wouldn?t be possible until I returned.
Forward to mid-August. Again I had workers show up unannounced at our home to begin work. I was fine with it, but would have
preferred an alert a few days prior.
Monday, the first day of work, the workers fixed the siding on one part of the home.
Day two, it rained and no one had shown up at all.
Day three, old windows pulled and replaced, more siding repaired/replaced. In the evening of day three, I noticed soft siding on the one side that should have been replaced. Additionally, I had some trim inside my home broken during the replacement of the old windows. I left a message with company with my concerns.
On day four, a supervisor came by my home in the evening, looked at the windows (which were very loose on the inside), the trim, and the siding. He said the trim and windows would be fixed and threw out a price for the additional siding. I was more than happy to have the additional siding fixed and was fine with the quoted cost. I was told people would be at my home
Friday and Saturday to get the job finished.
On day five, a single worker had shown up to replace the soft panels on the side of my home and dress the front windows.  After he left, I noticed the window trim outside looked terrible, dented and stained.
Day six, Saturday, no one had shown in the morning. I received a call from another person later that morning. He told me he would be coming by to check out the windows later in the afternoon. He did show at the scheduled time, checked out the windows and looked dissatisfied with the work that was done. He adjusted the windows and they were finally working like they
should. They seem to be great windows. He looked at the trim outside around the windows and said it didn?t look good and was going to have someone fix it the next week.
On Monday, day seven, the painters had shown up at my home around 2:30. They caulked, painted, and fixed the trim around the windows. I noticed later that evening that the paint I provided them was not used at all. They had taken a chip of my old paint and had it matched. They proceeded to paint with that color. It was slightly off and very noticeable. I told them in a phone call that evening that it was the wrong paint, even though my wife had pointed out the paint to the painters when they arrived. Instead of going by what the contract had stated and what they had been told two times verbally, they still painted it incorrectly. They promised to paint it again but use my paint.
On Tuesday, day eight, they had painted the outside with the correct paint and fixed the trim in my home. At this point, I was told someone would show on Wednesday around 5:30 to collect, which I was fine with.
No one came by on Wednesday at all.
On Thursday, I was finally contacted. I paid the gentleman that arrived at my home and let him know what I ran into during this job. It was primarily communication that was my biggest issue. No one seemed to know what others were doing and some of the worker skills weren?t as good as what I would have expected.  He discounted my total a bit and was on his way. He didn?t disagree with me but it seemed like he may be going through this type of scenario more often than he wanted to.
A couple days later, I went to paint a big on one of the rooms where trim was replaced. The trim was not installed as well as I would have expected and had a few broken parts that I wouldn?t have caught had I not been on a ladder. I repaired them myself and proceeded with the painting.
Overall, I don?t think I could go with this company again based upon my experience. It?s a bit stressful when something that could have taken 3 to 3 ½ days is extended to a little more than a week. I think this company has good intentions, but the project management is the biggest weakness. The communication between the salesman, the company, the supervisors,
the workers, and the customer is a mess. I felt like I had to manage this project myself, and it?s sad to have to
locate the issues and point them out when a good job foreman/supervisor could show up and make certain the job is being done right.  
My recommendation to this company is to improve communication, supervise the workers, inspect the job, and find a better skilled person to install the windows than the guy that did mine.

"Not only have I used Geren Roofing for my roofing needs on some of my personal/investment homes but I consistently refer my real estate clients to them as well. When people ask me, "who would you use" I tell them that Mike at Geren Roofiing is my Go-To Guy. I know that Mike is going to shoot me a competitive bid that's based on good, honest work with good materials. He's always been upfront and honest if the roof could use repairs instead of replacement, which I appreciate greatly. Mike runs a great crew, the clean up is impeccable and work is done in a timely fashion. I'll continue using Geren Roofing for as long as Mike is still throwing shingles down!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Harrisonville, MO

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.
