"I met with Mike and we discussed the details. The house was being sold and had a "Pending" contract so the time requirements were very short. I received quotes from two other roofers and Mikes quote was very competitive. We decided on the requirements and type of shingles for the roof. He chose the color to match the others in the neighborhood and that turned out to be important for the HOA approval. His crew arrived on the day of the job and had it completed the next day. The work was great, the process was great and the house sold and passed inspection without an issue. Mike was pleasant to work with, understood all parts of the process and I would definitely use them again."

"Hired these folks on April 27, 2018 to repair several leaks in the old roof of my commercial sized building that has my home and 5 apartments. They showed up on time, and did a thorough job, though they told me we needed to wait until the next rain to verify if everything was okay. When the rain came there were no more leaks, and the price for the job was very affordable. Would definitely hire again."

"DAV Construction was hired to replace a damaged roof and gutters. They did a professional job of discussing the bid with me. However, this was more than a roofing job. I had an issue with water seeping through my second floor brick that continued to damage my interior and patio cover. We all thought it was a poor trim installation. Alex took a hard core position of helping me correct the problem. We had to repair any openings in the existing brick and applied a water sealant. I even had a phone call several months later after a heavy rain storm to see if we had any visible leaks. All was good and the extra effort was was high on the scale of taking care of the customer. I would personally recommend Alex and his team to anyone."

"We tried to fix a roof leak for over a year, ourselves and with another contractor, and were not successful. We got estimates from several roofers, some of which included expensive roof replacements. Then Tim at Riley and Sons brought a knowledgeable colleague to our home who was able to locate the leak very quickly and fix it with a simple flashing repair. There have been hard rains since then and we no longer have a leak. Riley and Sons is a very competent and ethical firm that we will recommend to friends."

"Schultz Roofing was the first roofing company who agreed to come out within two hours on Sunday. I was very impressed with their response time and frequent communications via text. By the time I arrived, they had already spoken to the tenant and had accessed the roof to zero in on the leak. They used top notch sealer to seal the leak, and even sealed some extra areas on the roof as a preventative. They were respectful and their charges were very reasonable. I would have graded them even higher if they would have stocked the high quality sealer on their truck (avoiding an extra trip), even if they would have charged a little more for their services. I am critical, so I would have graded higher as well if they would have accessed the attic, to double ensure that the leak was pinpointed, and to access the damage in the attic. Of course i understand that this would have required a little higher charge, but i would have felt more comfortable. i accesed the attic to be sure of the pinpointing. Although very professional in all communications, more professional appearance would have been a plus as well. Their invoicing was prompt and high tech. I greatly appreciated their service and would rehire based on this experience. They also will do light hauling/junk removal."

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