"This is the 2nd time I used JM Roofing & Siding to repair siding issues installed by another company. Both times Joe came out the next day, explained why it was happening and repaired properly with the assurance what he fixed would not happen again. He is a true professional who takes pride in his work and cares about his customer."

"I reached out to Roland’s Roofing after a major hail storm damaged the standing seam metal roof on a new owner/builder house project. From quotation to completion, the entire roof replacement process went very smoothly. The project took less than a week with craftsmanship and attention to detail that are second to none. Bryan, Robert, everyone on the roofing team and the office staff were professional, honest and extremely polite. I can’t thank them enough for a job well done. I am looking forward to working with Roland’s Roofing again on my next project."

"The many recent hailstorms wreaked havoc on our roof. We knew we wanted a reputable roofing company, yet didn’t know who to contact! We certainly never considered any of the door-to-door roofing solicitors! We were extremely fortunate to find Scott Beres with New View Roofing Company on Next Door Neighbor! He met with our adjustor and together inspected the roof. He is very knowledgeable, personable, and professional. He explained the process his crew would conduct in the removal and replacement of our roof. He told us the time and date to expect his crew, who arrived on time and promptly began the repairs. The crew did an excellent job of providing us with a new roof and cleaning up all debris and nails associated with it. We are thoroughly pleased and most grateful for the privilege to meet and work with Scott and his crew! We want to “pay-it-forward” in recommending Scott Beres with New View Roofing to you! Please do yourself a favor and call or text Scott at 972.821.8539. His email address is: scott.beres@gmail.com. You can expect a prompt, courteous and professional response. Pat and Loretta Tomes."

"StormLight came out and repaired my roof after high wind damage blew off some of my shingles earlier this year and I couldn’t be more pleased with their work. I had another bad storm pass by my home after their repair and my roof was still in great shape after sustaining over 80 mph winds. I highly recommend StormLight for any roofing or contractor jobs."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Lewisville, TX

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.
