"I was fortunate in choosing LOA in Houston to represent me when I had my insurance company come out after a hail storm to assess the condition of my roof. I specifically have to thank Andrew S. who went through 3 inspections before my insurance company agreed to replace it. To Andrew’s credit, his persistence and skill over a period of 2 months finally resulted in my insurance company (known for denying claims) agreeing to a full replacement. If you ever have an insurance company come to assess your property after a storm they often have third party companies doing the work of assessing damage and almost always deny your claim. You should always have a roofing company representative there for you during an inspection since they know what to look for and can convince the adjuster that your claim is valid. I was about to spend $16K to replace my 20-year old roof but thanks to Andrew I only had to pay my deductible."

"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."

"We have used Riley & Sons on numerous occasions for small repairs and after hail damage to our roof. Tim was courteous and professional in all aspects of the repairs and our new roof. He also was a great advocate in getting our insurance company to cover repairs to our roof that were not noted by the insurance company appraiser. All work was done on schedule and  always cleaned up properly. I've used other contractors for roofs and repairs in other homes we have owned but none gave us the quality of service before, during and after the job was finished. I have recommended this company to my family and friends who have all thanked me for the referral. Tim also has called me to make sure that everything is still working properly. If you're looking for an honest and reliable company I highly recommend Riley & Sons Roofing and Construction."

"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."

"My experience with this company from the 1st phone call to the installation to the service after the job was
completed has been great. They did a good job of communicating with us along the way and letting us know what to expect.
Our salesperson was very knowledgeable and helpful. We were very impressed that the owner of the company sent us a card with his contact information and encouraged us to call him if we had any questions or concerns. The installation crew showed up on time and finished the entire job in one day. They kept things neat and did a good job of answering my 1,000 questions I had
for them during the installation. A special thanks to Mr. Trey, who went out of his way during the installation of the solar panels to make me feel comfortable. When I called him with questions about how the waterproofing worked, he stopped the entire job and brought me up on the roof to show me how the special roof brackets keep things from leaking.  We have just received our first electric bill and it was significantly lower than the same bill last year. We would recommend this company.

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.
