"Had windows put in. The service was great- work was done well and the windows are very attractive, all messes were cleaned up. Rich has come back to check on the work to be sure it was done well and now have given me a quote for needed gutters and downspouts, gutter guards, and a side door. Highly recommend the company from front end to back end."

"The Servicemaster/Monroe Restoration staff were wonderful! We had a difficult situation with the home, including a lot of debris and neglect, and everyone was so kind and sensitive to our feelings. They were also very hard-working, and willing to do whatever was needed to get the job done quickly and efficiently. I was especially pleased with Jorge, YaYa and Todd. Many thanks to them for everything!"

"Work was fine until we decided to add on French doors to replace existing sliding. I showed him the doors I wanted (via Lowe's website) and he said he would order & install them. The weather turned cold and he agreed to finish in spring. This was the final part of the project. CV-19 hit and once construction re-opened, he came to see the site, said it would take one day for installation of the doors... and then never returned any calls, emails, etc. I held back $500 from the total bill to ensure completion. He has the rest of the payment for the porch in full PLUS the never installed French doors ($1200). NOT TO BE TRUSTED."

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