"What a pleasure to do business with! Jason inspected the project and gave me a clear and fair proposal. They scheduled the work quickly and showed up right on time. It was a relatively small job, and other companies I contacted couldn't be bothered. Shed roof replacement and siding repair was completed in a day, and the crew left the yard and driveway in pristine condition. They even used a blower on the driveway! Issac, Jason and crew delivered!"

"We requested an estimate and Anthony made an appointment over a week out. He then wanted to reschedule just a few hours before but interested we let him come earlier (this was a Thursday). He left saying we would have 3 estimates on Monday. More then a week later I tried calling and texting for days. We had to call the company and were told he would call later on that day. Nope! 2 days later he says he would have the estimate done and send it. We got one for a full roof replacement. NOT at all what I asked nor what he discussed with my husband. I let him know this is what we talked about and he tells me he will have them Monday for me. Visit was April 17 and we still do not have the estimates we requested and he will not even answer. We have tried to be very understanding as we know people sometimes go through, but this is ridiculous."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Louisville, KY

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.
