"It went very well. Most of the limbs were over buildings on the property, and the crew was careful not to let any of the cut limbs damage my roofs. They cleaned up better than I would have expected. Nicolas even went out of his way to blow out my gutters, as he saw me struggling with that unrelated job."

"Cochran installed new half-round galvanized seamless gutters on my home located in a historic district in Indianapolis. Several install companies I contacted either didn't reply or wouldn't take on the job. Cochran was more than willing to help me achieve my goals. I was surprised to learn half-round gutters could be done seamlessly. The PM assigned to my project provided exceptional service. The whole process was very simple and easy to understand. At all points of the process I felt well taken care of. Cochran focuses on effective communication which is hard to find as a homeowner seeking services. The material used on the project exceeded my expectations and the install crew was very knowledgeable, friendly, left our home in great condition, and provided a finished product that we are extremely happy with. I would highly recommend Cochran for any of your exterior home needs."

"Our brick ranch house was in need of TLC on the old fiber board siding, which my wife and I have painted four times ourselves. We wanted to make the exterior maintenance free with a good quality vinyl siding. We contacted five separate companies, four of which were listed in Angie’s list, to get estimates. We chose The Home Improvement Co. They were neither the highest nor the lowest estimate. We based our decision on the reviews in Angie’s list, pictures of the work that had been accomplished on other jobs, and Matt’s straight forward honest presentation. Matt convinced us that one of the most important details of this work is an experienced crew that knows how to work with the material. We had chosen the insulated backed vinyl siding. The crew (Kevin and Rueben) and Matt arrived Friday and started the demolition on the west side of the house. We were having all the old siding removed and replaced with new board, moisture barrier, and the vinyl siding. They completed that side including cleanup in one day. The whole job was completed by the following Friday. The crew was great. They were friendly and professional, and they worked well together as a team. They answered any question we had and honored any request we made. They also wrapped all the windows and doors with aluminum coil. They transformed the exterior of our home. We are completely satisfied. We comment to each other every time we pull into the driveway how good our home looks now. We still plan on replacement windows and a new back door. The Home Improvement Co. will be first on our list for consideration. Thank you, Matt, Kevin, and Rueben, for a job well done."

"Both jobs went very well. No pressure sales, which I like, just down to earth. The installers were very professional and prompt. I am looking forward to winter, well, almost. I know the windows are much better than my original and will be helpful thi winter. Thanks Neil and all!

   Be very careful if you are planning to do business with Bee Windows. Last year on 9/23/14 we signed a $9000.00 contract

to install seven sliding and four custom windows with Bee. The job was delayed because a window was broken, and again

because a  custom mismeasured window did not fit. After I refused a request from an employee for final payment I received

a call from a male co owner and I told him I would pay when the job was finished.

     I made final payment on 11/26/14, only to discover the night latches had not been installed. After making at least a dozen

calls and a series of broken promises to come out and discuss the situation,  a lady made a surprise visit to my house and 

identified herself as the co owner and said the latches couldn't be installed once the windows had left the factory and promised

Bee would cut and paint customized flat sticks to vent the windows. While this 80 year old senior was well aware that this was

a rotten deal, I didn't feel up to a fight and agreed to this fix. Well over a month has passed and I have heard nothing from Bee

regarding the "flat custom sticks."

     These people (when I could get ahold of them) were unfailingly polite. Although it sometimes felt like pulling teeth to get it

finished (with exceptions noted), the finished product was acceptable. However, I can't help feeling like we have been stung

by the Bees. And to think, I had such high hopes when the queen walked in.

No matter what you need done I'm the one that can do it all! Years of hands on experience with just about everything from you family's home to mechanical work to you automobiles! There is no job to small and every task performed is backed with a 1 year warranty! I like to come up with an agreement with the customer on a price. When I start a job I finish it before starting anything else. I have let homeowners make payments before the labor is done for bigger jobs like a new roof. I like to help people out by not charging crazy prices. I'm your right hand hangman honest and reliable.

"The crew did a excellent and professional job of building the room to our specifications. This included building decking and flooring to match existing floors and creating two walls of full glass windows that intersected with two existing brick walls. They also merged the four season's roof with the existing roof lines. 
The crew was experienced and took pride in building a quality product. 
We would highly recommend Champion windows.

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