"Josh and his crew are fantastic. Roof replaced due to recent storm. Prompt, knowledgeable, and the easiest experience I've ever had. Crew did a great job from set up to clean up. After this I will also be using them for other construction projects. I highly, highly recommend this company."

"Devin was a great communicator and did fast, quality work remediating bats, sealing the roof, removing insulation and blowing in new insulation. He matched other remediation specialists in their diagnosis and had the best rate. He was also the first to make it out for a quote. I will definitely use his services in the future!"

"I contacted Mel Yoder's Home Improvement for an estimate on my home and when the gentleman came out to look at it he identified some hail damage to my roof.  I wasn't even aware there was hail damage so I was quite suprised to find out there was damage to my roof.  The insurance company came out and paid for a new roof and then when they opened the roof up they found out my roof boards weren't up to code and got the insurance company to pay for that as well.  I was extremely pleased with their work.  They did the entire job in one day so they weren't there for weeks on end.  I would recommend the Yoders again and if I ever need anything else I'll ask for Dwayne."

Before Pic. Customer purchased home that had an already finished basement but had the need to redesign layout for more living space and update finishes.
Customer wanted to remove this wall and create a custom opening with Granite top.
We completely demo'd out the basement down to the concrete and then redesigned a new floor plan with the customer that fit their lifestyle requirements
Hill Station House
Customer wanted to move the already existing bathroom so we had to reroute all plumbing for the new design layout

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Ripley, OH

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.
