"We had a roof that needed cap shingle replacement prior to the sale of the home due to degradation of the previous shingles of the wrong type. Weather Pro Exteriors had someone out quickly to provide an estimate and they were able to schedule the repair within a week. The customer service was excellent and they were easy to work with. Pricing was significantly lower than another quote I received and we are happy with the work performed. Very personable and responsive!"

"Justin is an honest and hard working man with integrity. He showed up as promised and patched the roof, the next day rained and one of the holes leaked hard. He showed up as promised and fixed it properly. It should be OK for future rains. I would have felt better if it were fixed properly the first time. I feel confident that if there was more problems he would take care of it. Thanks Justin for standing up to your promises, we need more like you."

"Israel is very friendly and customer service oriented. He makes sure that you are in the loop throughout the process from decision-making to final satisfaction. The roofing job of a full two-story house and separate garage, as well as replacement of some rotted wood boards, was completed in just one day. The roof looks great and the company was responsive, punctual, and efficient. I had one concern that I found a few weeks after the install, and they were happy to come back and fix it for me quickly, at no charge! I would definitely hire again."

"I had some minor roof damage from a falling tree.  Tom came out within a day or two of my calling for an estimate.  He was professional, gave me several options on how to go about repairing it from simple to more extensive. I didn't feel he was trying to up-sell me to the more extensive options.  He took time to help me get spare shingles down from my garage attic to see if there were enough to do the job.  After getting quotes from a couple of other roofers, I called Tom to come do the work.  He said he would be out by the end of the following week to do the work.  Since he tucked in some shingles to temporarily keep the roof dry I wasn't too worried about the week delay. 

The following Wednesday I called to let Tom know that we were having our driveway seal coated on Friday so he probably shouldn't come that day.  The women on the phone was polite and said thanks for letting them know.

That is the last I heard from them.  By the end of the following week I called and left a message, but got no response.  Over the next several days I called 2-3 more times and left  messages, none of which were returned.

Hopefully there was not some family emergency that prevented Tom from calling back, but I am a bit surprised that his professionalism at the beginning dropped off to nothing in the end.

I ended up hiring one of the other roofers to do the work.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Jefferson, WI

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.
