"We are very satisfied with our experience with using AE as our general contractor for the repairs to our house following the catastrophic hail storm that hit Fountain, Colorado on 13 June 2018, and would recommend them to anyone. They were doing the same work for a neighbor whose judgement I trust because, like me, he is very picky and exacting. Tony Turner offered to give us a free estimate, and we ended up signing a contract with AE. They are experienced in dealing with the insurance companies and inspectors. Tony was present when the USAA claims inspector came, and helped me make sure everything was completely documented. The initial settlement estimate from USAA was enough to cover all repairs, and we didn't have to argue for additional money. We got a new roof which is not only far better than our old one, but better than the new roofs many of our neighbors have. The materials have a true 50-year transferable warranty. We got all new windows which were far better than the original ones, new gutters, exterior paint, new garage door, and refinished our fence and deck. Everything was done well, in a timely manner, and within the budget of our claim settlement funds. Every item was replaced or repaired better than it was before, which has increased the resale value of our house. One huge advantage of using AE as a general contractor for the work covered by our insurance claim is that we did not have to pay any costs up front for materials, etc., which we couldn't have done. It took 6 months for our mortgage company to release our claim settlement funds, but AE was able to wait to be paid in full in one lump sum. The fact that they are an established and reputable company whose main office is in Denver means that, unlike many of the fly-by-night roofers and contractors who flocked to the area after the storm, they will be here to stand behind their work, including that of their subcontractors."

"Excellent job from start to finish. When Zach arrived to inspect our attic and provide us a quote, he spent time going over the company, warranty information, options for financing, and benefits of providing a solar barrier in the attic, along with adequate insulation. The company provides an app which gave us updated information about our install, as well as access to photos and documents. The installers arrived on time within their window, and completed the job in under 2 hours. They are polite and cleaned up prior to leaving. Dajuan the showed up a few hours later to perform a quality check of the work, and went over the complete process to ensure our satisfaction and a chance for us to ask any questions. It was a great experience and we would definitely consider using Power Home Remodeling again in the future."

"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."

"Tom did a fantastic job providing and managing the subs and fitting into my schedule with my basement remodel. We threw him several curveballs during the process and he handled them professionally. He offered us several options for areas where we could save money, and he was honest with us regarding anything we underestimated. I doubt I’ll ever use any other than Stone Mountain Design for any future construction needs."

"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 Hereford, 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.
