"Easton Roofing had a fair price, and did excellent work. Their estimator was top-notch, and very knowledgeable. He informed us that we had undersized gutters (which caused a number of problems) in one location of our house and recommended a course of action to resolve the issue. Their installation crew was fast and courteous. I highly recommend their services to anyone."

"Remmy contacted me quickly and came out the next day to check out my roof. Over the phone I told him I had a newborn so he was nice and called when he was outside instead of ringing the doorbell in case my son was sleeping. For the inspection he showed me pictures of what was wrong and what they would do to fix it. Remmy and his crew came out and fixed the problem quickly as well as making sure there was no other problems. They will always be my first to come to if I have roofing problems."

"Luke was incredibly helpful installing our washing machine and dryer. He was super comfortable and made the whole process smooth and efficient. He took all the trash with him when he left, and even spent two minutes to help me fix a broken latch he noticed on the way out! I would recommend him to anyone"

"We submitted a request for a bid and received a call from the owner, Mark, on a Saturday. He came right over, reviewed our needs and listened to my feedback. Mark was very thorough and identified a few deficiencies with our current gutters and drainage, he submitted a bid on the spot. After considering other bids, we decided to go with Mark and his team for new 6" seamless gutters and 3"x4" downspouts . Mark texted a few days ahead of their arrival to confirm the schedule. On install day, he and his team arrived on time and started promptly. Mark communicated very effectively and ensured we were comfortable with all downspout locations and path. They added several extensions to ensure we were comfortable with the drainage location of all downspouts. All of the work occurred during the current shutdowns related to COVID19. Mark and his team all respected and practiced social distancing guidelines and boundaries during the entire project, and they did a great job cleaning up the job site before leaving. The work performed and product installed exceeded our expectations. Mark and his team installed new guttering and downspouts in all of the areas Mark recommended, as well as in inside a corner below a valley where we weren't expecting to have guttering and a downspout. After our experience with Mark and his team at All American Gutter, we won't ever let any other gutter contractor touch our house. Great work Mark! Thank you!"

"We had an great experience with DTS Family Plumbing Services. I had an appointment. with a “Large local KC HVAC Company”, to replace our 20-year-old water heater. Then we saw an ad on Angie’s list for the same water heater and install for ½ the price from DTS. I called DTS and spoke with the owner, Anthony Morales, and right off the bat he was extremely personable and took the time to explain the honest process on cost on this type of work. We decided to go with DTS instead for the replacement. Anthony scheduled us in the very next day and arrived along with Tony right on time. They again were very professional in covering the work they were going to do. Within in 1 hour, Anthony and Tony had the new water heater installed, and the old one removed. Having such a great interaction and experience with Anthony and DTS, we are now planning to use them to remodel our bathroom’s at the new house we just purchased. I would strongly recommend DTS Family Plumbing Services for any plumbing or bath remodeling needs moving forward!!!"

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