"The folks at JD Hostetter were very helpful during this entire process. They helped explain the services they would perform, answered any question and were easy to reach and communicate with. I interviewed 6 major roofing companies and went with JD Hostetter due to price, the interactions with their staff and due to their ratings on Angie's list. I will likely hire them in the future for other (non-roofing) work."

"We have used Russell Hill Contracting on two different homes - each resulted from an insurance claim. One for a total roof replacement, and another for all new exterior - roof, siding, soffit, fascia. In both projects, they were great advocates for us throughout the claim process. The work they did was great and they were sure to clean up thoroughly. I highly recommend Russell Hill Contracting!"

"We were given complete information and written material about what would be done. The crew was efficient and careful in removing old shingles, putting on new shingles and cleaning up afterward. AJ's were also recommended by our insurance claims adjuster."

"The whole process went extremely well. My salesperson, Scott, was so thorough in working with my insurance company as well as making sure I understood the entire process. The guys on the roofing crew were professional and got the job done in a timely manner. The final cost after insurance was reasonable and they offered financing to help. I would definitely use this company again!!"

"The sales person came to our home in early November, initially to discuss replacing the windows with new wooden ones. When I told him what I was looking for he offered wood, but also gave to option of vinyl and then the pros and cons of each. He showed me an example of the window that would be installed, as well as the specs on energy efficiency and I was sold. We placed the order for the windows and at the time of measurement, added three more. The windows arrived in early-mid December, but due to our own scheduling conflicts, were not installed until the end of the month. Installers were prompt and quick in getting the old windows out and the new in, keeping cold exposure in the house to a minimum. They then wrapped the sills and put in more insulation around the windows (there was evidently not much there from the original build). There was minimal mess and they really tried to clean up after themselves, especially indoors. There was minor damage to one of the trim boards (on seven windows), but we were told of the possibility before hand and the board is old, so we will replace it in the spring. Overall, we are very happy with the installation and the new windows. I have been able to turn down the heat in the house several degrees and no longer have a breeze. I will likely have them replace the remaining windows in the near future."

"Joe was able to meet with us immediately to discuss remodeling. Joe provided several quotes of different ideas and ways we could improve the sunroom area and utilize it to the max while also staying in our budget. I have seen the quality of work that Joe has done for my family and friends and it is phenomenal. Joe is a Christian and a good family man and his work ethic resembles exactly that!"

"We hired David Hazen Group to replace our roof and gutters, install new windows and repair some woodwork. We would highly recommend them, from our first contact with the ladies in the office to the job being completed the communication was great. Jason was our project manager and did an excellent job, keeping us updated and scheduling the work very efficiently. The carpenters did great work, paying attention to detail as did the roofers. All the workers cleaned up at the end of each day leaving the job site tidy."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in New Market, 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.
