"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!"

"We had a leak and needed an old chimney box removed, the flue pipe cut off , and then the roof repaired in that area. S. P. Roofing was AMAZING. The quote was HALF of what the other company quoted me. Saul was attentive and professional each time we spoke and let me know what to expect. Dennis actually did the work for us and was knowledgeable, kind, professional, and took pictures for me during the process so I could see how the work was completed. I would definitely use this company again. The roof looks great and the price was affordable. Most importantly its not leaking anymore and I got exactly what I wanted/needed. THANK YOU S.P. ROOFING!"

"I called Shawn mid day to schedule an appointment for a bid. He happened to be in the area and came by within 30 minutes of the call. He measured the kitchen and said that he would have a bid to me in the next few days. The next evening I had an email bid and a follow up phone call. I decided then and there that Done Right would get our business. Shawn was always available when I called and was very flexible in working with our ever changing schedule. Even making sure that our work was completed in time for Thanksgiving when we had other contractors pushing our schedule out. All work started early in the morning and right on time. There were no issues with any of the work. Gary and Robert were very polite and neat. Each day the site was left clean. We couldn't be more pleased with the results of their work. Everyone who comes into the kitchen always comments on the floor and back splash. They are beautiful. I would not hesitate to use Done Right contracting again. You shouldn't either!"

"After installing windows in the lower level of my home in 2018, I am currently having the upper windows installed. I have realized a savings in my heat and air conditioning. Love the fact that the tilt able windows are so easy to clean. I would highly recommend Continental Siding for window replacement. Everyone I worked with has been so helpful. From the Salesman to the installers. Thank you Continental siding for making my home better place to live."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Holden, 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.
