"We called Urban Exteriors since they had roofed several houses in our neighborhood. James came by and was extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He explained why we had leaks and how they would be rectified when they roofed. He then worked with our insurance agent which turned out to be a good thing. Our roof was done in one day and looks wonderful. They did everything that was promised and a little more. We also got new gutters, paint and several boards replaced. It was nice to have everything managed under one umbrella since each task depended on the others. James monitored the whole process to ensure all was as it should be. Work quality was excellent and timely. I highly recommend Urban Exteriors!"

"A metal roof was installed as part of the construction of a new residence. The metal roof included incorrect materials that were installed improperly. Ready Roofer was able to replace the roof with their superior Euroshield hail-proof product in a timely way. I appreciated the level of supervision and quality that went into the replacement roof. I would strongly recommend Ready Roofer for projects in Northern Colorado."

"Job went very well. Chris is very experienced, knowledgeable and professional. Roof was torn off and new roof installed in one day. Property was thoroughly cleaned up afterwards with special attention to nails. Chris helped us negotiate with Insurance Company making this job stress free for us. The crew are friendly, polite and hard-working guys. Chris did everything he promised in our initial meeting. We would highly recommend using Five Sons Roofing."

"I can't say enough good things enough about All American Exteriors.  They have been by far the best service company I've ever hired.  Adrian was very responsive and proactive with his communication.  The siding team was fast, professional, and they did a great job.  They cleaned up the site very nicely.  I have not found one nail or piece of garbage left over.

I've had compliments on the house from neighbors and random passers by.  It's like a new house.

"The leak is fixed and that is the major thing. But it took several phone calls from me to get them to respond and reschedule the final pieces of the job. It is true that a wet spring/summer and big storms with hail have limited the company's time they can get on roofs, and increased the numer of jobs they've taken on. So, to some extent, the excuses were warranted as to why it wasn't being finished, etc. And there were phone messages from the company to let me know they wouldn't be coming out on a particular day. That doesn't change the fact that I had to do the chasing to get them to come back and finish the job. Part of our pricing deal included bringing in someone to replace the window trim Ron pulled off to get to the leak. Two months and more than three phone calls later, it was still not done. Finally, after my latest phone call, Ron came out to replace the window trim himself, but Ron is a roofer and not a trim worker. He hammered up a piece of wood, recessed behind the rest of the trim and not matching up with the bottoms of the exposed side trim on the windows. Again, the leak is fixed, the roof is holding and that is the major thing we hired them to do. But our payment agreement included putting the window back with trim to match and that has not been done. And the number of times I had to call to try to get the job done is infuriating. If I had written this reveiw the week after our garage was dry, I'd have given them a better grade. But we'll have to come up with another solution to our trim and pay for it ourselves."

"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."

The roof replacement wasn't straight forward but Ed Picciano was diligent in pursuing the manufacturer's rep in getting detailed instructions on how to do the roof properly in a manner that would ensure the manufacturer's (GAF) warranty.

The roof had non-soffited eaves and cathedral ceilings so to get proper attic ventilation he had to install the GAF 'Cobra' Intake Pro rooftop vent. This is a relatively new product but it was the ONLY proper way to ventilate the attic without extensive eave re-work.

All through the process Ed kept me appraised of the situation; reassuring us that he would get the job done on budget, on time, and properly. Which he did admirably. Call Climax Roofing-they won't let you down.

"Went great! Greg got his crew there fast and got the tear off and new roof on quick. His crew cleaned up all roof stuff from around the house. He worked well with inspectors. No issues, he even came back to touch up paint on a roof vent."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Idaho Springs, 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.
