"The existing roof on the house and garage was torn off, new sheet decking installed on top of old board decking of the house, new flashing, drip edge, shingles installed on house and garage. Installed new ridge vent on house. Some of the siding that needed to be removed to install flashing was damaged as can happen but was replaced with new. It was a difficult roof with multiple dormer windows and odd angles but they did a careful job and I've received many compliments on the appearance from neighbors. Good job with clean up too. The owner is easy to reach and quick to reply to all questions I had. From day I asked for quote until day completely finished was under 5 weeks. Without hesitation I'd recommend them to others. Competitively priced compared to two other bids."

"JD Hostetter couldn't have done a better job for us all around. Owner Tom P came out and walked through our needs with us, and helped us make decisions where we were unsure and gave us a detailed estimate within a couple days (including some great visuals that really helped my wife, who isn't a particularly visual thinker). Once we settled on the work to be done, there were three separate crews doing work at different times. All were absolutely top-notch for professionalism and quality of work. The roofing crew put in one day that was over 18 hours long to keep things on track, and had maybe the best attitude I've ever seen for such a grueling job. We couldn't be happier with the results. Every nitpick or concern we had was handled quickly and professionally. Maybe the most impressive part is that over the course of the entire job - which included completely new roofing and siding on a 3000+ s.ft. home plus a 24x30 outbuilding - there we never ONCE a 'surprise' cost change. The estimates we got were exactly what we ended up charged for, and when we asked for changes, the shift in costs was made totally clear up front. Estimating is tricky, and I know how hard it can be to predict what may come up, so this fact impressed us greatly. JDH was not the least expensive estimate we got when we were planning this work - but their reputation on both Angies List and Hardie's Elite Preferred contractor referrals convinced us they were worth the slight cost difference. In hindsight, we couldn't have been more right. In 20+ years as a homeowner, JD Hostetter stands out as clearly the best experience we've had contracting for work on our home. This was a very large job, and we'll be living with the results for 30+ years, so feeling so confident in the results is a huge plus for us. We truly could not imagine a better experience, or recommend a contractor more highly than JDH. From beginning to end, no surprises whatsoever. The results are spectacular, and exceeded our expectations. Hostetter place alone at the top of Angie's list in our area is well-earned, and we would use them again in a second."

"We were given complete information and written material about what would be done. The crew was efficient and careful in removing old shingles, putting on new shingles and cleaning up afterward. AJ's were also recommended by our insurance claims adjuster."

"It’s too bad Angi limits the stars to five, because our experience with David and the crew of Indy Legacy Builders definitely warrants more. In the past 18 months our home weathered several hail storms that led to insurance reimbursed roof replacements for all the homes in my neighborhood, with the exception of ours. After three insurance inspections, multiple claims filed, AAA was still denying our storm damage claim(s). About two months ago David was passing through our neighborhood, by chance he ran into my wife and before long our ailing roof became the topic of focus. I later met with David, and within a couple minutes it was obvious his knowledge of insurance adjudication, insurance law and building code was second to none. About two weeks later AAA sent out another inspector, this time David was on the scene as our advocate. In a very professional manner he ensured that the inspector accurately documented damage and provided indisputable hail maps confirming our home was in the path of the aforementioned storms. Three days later our claims were finally approved, three weeks after that a new roof and gutters was installed courtesy of AAA and Indy Legacy Builders. If not for David and his team, we’d still have a damaged roof and the prospect of having to pay for a new roof exclusively out-of-pocket."

"Excellent job! George was great at explaining everything and responded promptly whenever he was contacted. He worked very well with the insurance adjustor. I was impressed with how rapidly he brought the roof samples and got the work done. He kept me updated every step of the way as to when to expect delivery of the materials and when the roof would be completed. This was a large roof which was replaced in one day, including the cleanup. George returned to check to make sure everything was done properly. I am extremely satisfied with the continuous communication, and the quality and speed of work."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Lawrence, IN

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.
