"Eads gave us a solution that another company could not. Our roof didn't need replacing, which is what the other company wanted to do, but it did need the water leak repaired and I wanted to improve ventilation in another area of the roof. The initial response was very good and Chase rearranged his schedule to meet with me right away and discuss my problems. The work was high quality, in my opinion, and I'm confident we made the right choice going with Eads Roofing. There were some delays in communication on occasion but the work was done in a reasonable amount of time and everyone was great to work with."

"JD Hostetter is a great company! Tom the owner will come out personally to give an estimate and he is honest and trustworthy. We had our roof replaced, our homes exterior painted, some siding replaced as well as two exterior dormer windows replaced. My daughter has used this company as well for new gutters as well as exterior painting. The workers are always friendly , professional and experienced. They answer all questions that you may have and leave the job site spotless after the job is completed. The office staff is always helpful and friendly as well and promptly return calls. I highly recommend JD Hostetter. They are reasonable on their job quotes too. You will not be disappointed if you use this company!"

"It went extremely well. The installers were very professional. They made sure everything was done correctly. If a problem was found, they made it right! Our house is older and they made sure it was fixed appropriately. Dave, the owner communicated at each step and kept us informed and updated. Two of the employees were especially professional and skilled, Chad and John. We did this big remodel because we both just retired. We could not be more pleased as we plan on staying here. I high,y recommend this company."

"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."

"Rojas has a great team. They streamlined the operation and went flawlessly. I thank Freddy Rojas for working with us to be able to get work performed. I had my wife inspect the roof after the work was performed and she's very happy. I'll recommend Rojas Roofing to my friends and family. My suggestion is what ever Freddy suggests take it. He looks out for the customer as to quality materials being used and doesn't believe in taking short cuts. Again. thanks so much to Rojas Roofing!"

"Mitch Thompson came out to speak with my husband and me. He worked around our work schedules.   We had in mind what we wanted and after talking with Mitch and seeing his window that he suggested we chose the window he showed us.  We wanted the inside to be wood like the Pella Windows we had purchased and installed ourselves in a patio room in the past 4 years.  We found thru Mitch's demonstration that our Pella's weren't very energy effecient.  We were thinking that the price of the Triple-Pane windows that Mitch showed us would be out of the ball park in cost.  But they really weren't at all.  They were safer (has a lock so the window doesn't go up past a certain point), they were far more effecient in energy savings AND they have a layer on the inside that we are staining to match the woodwork we are going to surround them with.  We have a set of 3 windows in a row in our living room and they are stained and surrounded with the oak wood we wanted to use and they look really great!!!  Mitch was very nice and listened to all our concerns and we had a nice experience working with Mitch and his company. 
  When the windows came into the company's shop Nick called to set up a time to install the windows.  Nick and his father, Carl, came out and got all 14 windows in and looking great and ready for our staining and inside work in a very short time.  They took away our old windows and all the packing of the new windows, left us with NO Clean-up at all. Nick and Carl were really great and Nick gave me tips to staining and finishing the trim to match. 
  From start to finish working with Mitch and his company, Thermal Window and Siding, Inc., has been a great experience and the windows are beautiful. 
  We would recommend Mitch and his company to anyone needing new windows.

"Joe was able to meet with us immediately to discuss remodeling. Joe provided several quotes of different ideas and ways we could improve the sunroom area and utilize it to the max while also staying in our budget. I have seen the quality of work that Joe has done for my family and friends and it is phenomenal. Joe is a Christian and a good family man and his work ethic resembles exactly that!"

"We have used the services of this company last year, enclosing a screened porch and have been very pleased with the work performed. Representative Garry Garrett and installers Mike and Brian, (of both our porch enclosure and the windows and door) were very professional and delightful people to work with and did a very craftsman-like job. There was some delay in getting the job scheduled since our estimate and down-payment last fall, with an estimated installation time. This was not a concern for my wife and I. However, when the job was finished, Garry gave us a complimentary dinner for two coupon at an upscale nearby restaurant, which is much appreciated!"

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