"I required the services of a Roofing Organization to remove and replace several damaged Boral Tiles on my home. Part of the services which I required was locating and sourcing the "hard to find" tiles to match my home's roof. Urban Exteriors, (Lyndon) was very responsive, professional with no concern of the size of the project. Within two days the required tiles were located, sourced and installed. I was extremely pleased with Urban Exteriors' professionalism, responsiveness, workmanship! Larry M"

"The guy that came out was great. Quickly made the repair and checked out something else I was concerned about but told me it was fine. He replaced the damaged vent and even painted the new part. He was fast and nice and very professional. Thanks!"

"Five Sons Roofing did a fabulous job replacing my hail-damaged roof. They delivered all of the materials on the roof about a week before, let me know when everything was expected, responded nearly immediately to all questions, installed everything professionally, and cleaned up after themselves. They even made an extra trip out the next day to double check the clean up and make sure there were no nails lying around for my dogs to step on--without me asking them to! They were punctual, professional, polite and very helpful throughout the process. I will definitely hire them again the next time my roof needs replacement."

"We had the company replace our roof and gutters. From start to finish, they were clear, concise, efficient and went out of there way to make this experience as easy as possible. Their marketing strategy is on point with current trends. From dealing with the insurance company and HOA forms, to literally walking around the house multiple times to pick up any debris or nails, they are certainly on top of their game. They identified out-dated and underlying issues from the previous installation, then communicated to me that they would bring everything up to code. Their pricing guarantee is outstanding guaranteeing that I will only have to pay my insurance deductible. Anything above that, they cover. Wow! Extra effort example: The project manager on site cleared a path of shingle debris and nails, so I could take my dogs outside, throughout the day. They also donated $100 to a charity of my choosing; The Humane Society being my choice. Overall, the professionalism, promptness, and workmanship is top notch."

"The work was completed in the time frame he said it would be, of coarse weather permitting. The roof shingles were above standard Class4 Owens Corning, the other companies wouldn't tell me what grade they would install. The paint job included a base coat of  Kilz then 2 coats on top, the 2nd coat is a different color from the final house color, so you can see they are actually applying several coats.

We couldn't be any happier with the choice we made with Climax. Our house looks great for years to come, they met and exceeded our expectations in every aspect. We highly recommend Climax!  "

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Lyons, CO

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.
