"It went very well. Most of the limbs were over buildings on the property, and the crew was careful not to let any of the cut limbs damage my roofs. They cleaned up better than I would have expected. Nicolas even went out of his way to blow out my gutters, as he saw me struggling with that unrelated job."

"The job started with us needing someone to replace some siding on the chimney due to water leaking in behind the siding causing
deterioration and paint peeling off of the siding. The job was relatively small and consequently we contacted several qualified contractors and they were not willing to even come and scope out our job. Somebody referred us to Maximus and when I called and
talked to Eric, he was willing to take on the project even though it was relatively small. When he showed up to evaluate the situation and give an estimate for the job, he discovered that the cause of our problem was that we had a concrete cap around our chimneys that had cracked and separated and allowing water to seep in and deteriorate the trim boards and siding. We agreed to have him replace the siding and trim boards and to replace the chimney chase because his quote was very reasonable. During this same visit, I was asking him about the condition of the shingles on the roof because they had been in place for 20 years. They were showing signs of wear but he said they could last another year or two. I inquired as to the cost of him roofing the house too while he was doing the other jobs for us and that quote seemed very reasonable so I agreed to that job as well. He finished the total project today in less than a week and everything looks really good. He maintained the schedule that he promised and he was on site nearly every day to make sure things were running smooth. We will definitely call Maximus again when the need arises.

"Shortly after Thanksgiving 2012, my mother received a phone call from Mike saying that he and his crew had a cancellation and had a slot open to do the repair and replace her roof.  This was a few weeks sooner than expected, but he was confident that he could do the work in the time slot that the cancellation had created in his work schedule.  Happily, our mother's roof was repaired sooner than we had expected.
 
I would highly recommend Midwest Roofing & Restoration, LLC; of Richmond, Indiana.  Being in Pennsylvania and our mother residing in Richmond, Indiana; I have to confess that I was concerned.  Based upon my brother's very positive assessment of Mike and Midwest Roofing & Restoration, LLC, along with my mother's experience with Mike, my concern was significantly assuaged.  My mother reported that the men working for Midwest Roofing were respectful, "wirey" (small skinny guys but very strong), and very neat.  The crew working for Midwest were very conscientious about cleaning up any and all materials, trash, and scraps.  My mother was thrilled; my brother and I were very satisfied she was happy.
I have a lot of experience in working with all sorts of contractors and craftsmen in the home construction business.  Unfortunately, not all these experiences were positive.  I also was feeling very protective for our mother.  There are nightmare stories of elderly people being targeted by - and ripped-off - by shady dishonest construction companies.  I am not sure that I can describe the relief I felt in hiring Midwest Roofing and Restoration to repair and replace my mom's roof.  He and his crew were great to our mother, worked very hard, and accomplished the work quickly but carefully, as well.  To hear our mother being "thrilled" with getting her roof replaced has given me a very good feeling for going with Midwest Roofing and Restoration.  My only wish is that they are very needed in western Pennsylvania.  I wonder if we can convince them to become Steeler's fans versus Colts fans?  I would highly recommend Midwest Roofing & Restoration, LLC.

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