"Matt, the owner of WeatherPro Exteriors is always professional. He provided a quote and scope of delivery and followed through as promised. His installers did a wonderful job and were finished in no time. They too, were professional, respectful and polite. The site was all clean when they left. The installation work was of the highest quality. No issues there. My only problem is with the storm windows themselves. The latches on the windows and screens didn't operate properly, a manufacturer's defect. I informed Matt's lead installer, John, who came out immediately to see for himself, what the problem was. He agreed that there indeed was an issue and advised me that he would need to contact the distributor, which he did. After a couple of weeks, the distributor's service man stopped by, and I showed him the problem. He said that he would contact the manufacturer, because it was a manufacturer's defect. That was a month ago. Today I finally received a call from the manufacturer (ProVia) and the service manager said one of his service guys would stop by when he was in the area. He expected that to happen within another four weeks. The average cost per storm window was appx. $306 installed. Kind of expensive when you consider what a brand new complete window costs and the defect resolution that I am chasing. Ironically, I ordered just one storm window to begin with to verify color and quality. It was perfect, so I went ahead with the balance of the order (nine more windows). After they were all installed, I discovered that the nine subsequent windows were all defective. Only the first (sample) storm window, works perfect. Trying to get this resolved is taking quite some time. Seems like everyone says it's someone else's responsibility.

"The whole experience from start to finish was nothing short of amazing. The initial visit from the remodeling consultant was very informative and detailed. He seemed to really care about my house, Unlike most roofing contractors who just try to make a quick sale. The install was a one day install for my 3300 sf roof. They also did an amazing job with there clean up process. I didn’t find a single nail in my yard unlike the last roof I got installed 14 years ago. I would highly suggest using power for your next home remodeling project. I will def be using them again in the future."

"My roof was started leaking after the snow wad mounted, I called him on Friday and he came out Saturday and identified the problem then today (02/21) he and his crew came out to my house. They tore up the old roof, they reconstructed a portion in the front of my house and then they put a whole new roof. They did a beautiful job, they left my yard immaculate, they have a reasonable price but I will not post it here, and they were very professional."

"Midwest Home Exteriors was an absolute pleasure to work with, and the
workmanship was second to none.
Roof: Work started at 7, done by Noon. Excellent materials (Owens
Corning), nicely done flashing, attention to detail was great. Yard was
spotless afterwards as well!
Gutters: Perfect looking gutters, installed professionally.
Siding: Very nicely done, custom metal bends needed to be done, and
were done professionally, on time, and looks absolutely fantastic.
All workers were courteous, professional, and prompt.
I am very happy with my experience with MHE - they go the extra mile!

"The insurance company delayed the job for quite some time due to a difference in the amount of supplies needed. Darin helped me work through the insurance company issues by supplying all the additional information necessary and spending a lot of time following up with me on the status of the claim and target dates. The crew was there at 7 and done by 3 and the only thing showing that anything was done was a great new roof and the sign he asked if he could leave for a week. Not a nail or piece of trash left anywhere in sight."

"Tyler, my roof inspector was a really nice guy and even told me he can come back and check everything out after a week or two of the project completion. The roofing crew was very fast, efficient they showed up at 7am and left by 4pm. The clean up was awesome and they left my home better than they found it. Manuel called me a couple days before install to ask good questions and discuss how the day will go, he understood I wouldn’t be home. I wasn’t home for the project and the communication was remarkable. Thank you Tyler for helping pick out color of shingles, and thank you Tory for helping schedule and Evan my project manager for confirming my projects and good through communication. Thank you SemperFi so much for your help for locating bad sheets of moldy wood and replacing them!"

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