"A&W representatives were very professional and provided us with a clear explanation of the damage and the options for repair. A&W worked directly with our home insurance company to verify the full cost of the roof replacement and that it would be fully covered under our insurance policy. The roof was replaced in one day. Their was a minor issue with the quality of the fascia that was replaced on one side of the house but it was resolved satisfactorily in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to recommend A&W to anyone needing roof repair work."

"Lifetime was able to scope out our roof project, provide material options, and a quote faster than the other 4 local companies we considered for our 1,200 sq ft roof replacement were able to simply schedule a visit to / and examine our roof. The project manager (Tom B.) was unbelievably responsive, kept us fully informed through every step of the process, and made sure we had a full understanding of the services we'd be receiving. Besides the exceptionally fast and communicative project management, Lifetime was among the most affordable options we considered. I can't recommend them highly enough, and if you have a chance, ask to work with Tom B!"

"We had St. Louis Insulation seal and insulate the crawlspace in our one-story 3-bedroom brick home in early December. The existing insulation was probably original from the mid-70s and was falling from the ceiling of the crawlspace, about half already on the floor. SLI provided an estimate and described their procedure -- sealing, not just replacing the rolls of insulation but sealing the floor and walls and vents. They described the timeline for the work. The estimate was pricey, but well in line with other providers of the same service, and it's a one-time job, not an every-20-years job. Ultimately we selected SLI as we were impressed by reviews of their work and by their professionalism and the clarity of their description of the work to be done. They arrived punctually and performed the work very fast, considering the nature of the work (removing all old insulation and all the other debris down there, putting in the new plastic and insulation and foam spray). I was very impressed by their politeness, efficiency, and the cooperation they showed in working together. (They're in the crawlspace and so if they had yelled or even been grumpy with each other, I'd have heard it.) They removed approximately 24 very large stuffed trashbags of old insulation (it's a large crawlspace) and stacked them neatly on the driveway, then put everything in their truck and hauled it away. (That was the first day.) They brought in the supplies of the new work -- holy cow, lots of plastic, tanks for the foam spray etc -- and quickly installed all of it. (That was another half-day.) They supplied photos of the work so that I didn't need to get into the crawlspace to see what they'd done. The work was fully completed within the time they had estimated. And everything they did was cleaned up. I would recommend, without reservation, their work. Great people, very professional, and they clearly have done this enough that they are very well organized. Because the entrance to our crawlspace is in the floor of a bedroom closet, they kept that bedroom closed while they were working, and took everything in and out via a window. It kept any mess localized, so that I did have to do a thorough cleaning of the carpet and all surfaces in the room but it was only one room, and I was cleaning the dust basically -- all their supplies and any trash were totally removed. So A+ on that. One small unforeseen issue was that we have small dogs, and we had not thought about the spray foam and any fumes, and SLI did not think of that either, until the day they were going to do the spray foam. We had to quickly move the dogs to another part of the house, and near a window, where they would be less exposed. (They're pugs so I think the fumes would not be an issue for a larger dog -- we just need to be careful because they're pugs.) If you have small dogs, or pet birds, you will want to consider how to keep them safe during the foam spray. Overall, St. Louis Insulation did a great job. They said exactly what they'd do, and they did it. Considering the nature of the work required (bending or kneeling in a crawlspace, hauling huge bags of old insulation and rolls of plastic while bending or kneeling), I am hugely impressed with the professionalism and with their good-natured attitude. They are very good at what they do."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Oakville, MO

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.
