"I called Russ at 9:30 am on 6/22/22 to come out to look at our roof regarding slight leaking around furnace exhaust pipe after heavy downpour. He called back at 11:56 am and said he'd be here that afternoon. He was here around 1 pm, reattached some shingles, and checked for any other loose shingles. He did our roof slightly less than 4 years ago, and there was no charge. Super service, super guy!"

"This is my 2nd roof in 5 years (two different homes) that I've contracted Dennison for. It was a quick and easy decision for us the 2nd time around due to the professionalism, responsiveness and quality of the work done the first time around. He and his team communicate well and often. The pricing will not be cheapest in town however the quality, workmanship and service professionalism is the best in town, hands down, by far."

"We cannot say enough good things about Atlantic Siding and its owner, Jack
Malcolm. In point of fact we cannot critique one without the other.
  Our
Certainteed siding began show troubling signs of wear just three or four years
after installation. Gaps grew at the seams; slats bowed and warped; on windy
days the cumulative noise of the clattering of loose boards became unnerving;
and eventually slats began to fall from the house. We begrudgingly began the
tedious process of seeking out an honest and reputable company to re-side our
family home.
  For about three weeks, a succession of "salesmen" sat in our
living room discussing measurements, materials, and promises.  Jack Malcolm is
no salesman, but a working owner-supervisor whose word is final. He reports only
to the customer and himself.
  When Jack walked in with his thick Jamaican
accent, we slowly began to grasp that here was a man of honesty, integrity, an
absolute belief in Hardy Siding,  an enthusiastic pride in his own
craftsmanship, and a work-ethic seldom found on the American scene anymore. 
Here was a working wisdom that we grew to  trust implicitly. And we made no
mistake doing so. We struck a deal at a very reasonable price, a price to which
Jack never wavered. Once the price was set, that was it. There were no hidden or
revealed costs.
  JACK IS THE REAL DEAL. He climbs the ladders and works
along those he supervises. He exercises full oversight and follows a harsh
schedule, overseeing every detail of every task with the cautious eye of long
experience. Jack actually cares about the finished product which he calls his
true "signature" and drives his men in a pursuit of QUALITY, not quantity, and
that's a very rare attitude in these days of paying top dollar for minimal
effort. The men that work at Jack Malcolm's side are no apprentices, but veteran
craftsmen each  trained by Jack individually over DECADES and experienced in the
art of dressing a home's exterior.
  Over the two weeks needed to re-side
our 3850 square-foot house, Jack made suggestions and offered his working
experience on so many refining points. His painters  detailed our homes exterior
woodwork and guttering. [ At one point he even installed a storm door over a
side door to the garage. Why? To protect the woodwork and jams from the weather,
a detail ignored by the original builders. I bought a door at Lowes, and one day
Jack, with one of his men, installed it beautifully. ] Vents were covered with
cages once he discovered a bird presence. Torn screens found experienced hands
to repair them. Faux-shutters were painted and re-anchored to our front brick.
  In the end, our home was astonishingly beautiful and renewed, far beyond
that provided by the siding alone. The care and detailing, the work ethic, the
experience and taste, for a most conservative price tag, and with an overall
enthusiasm and old world craftsmanship, make my wife and I want to proclaim our
complete admiration for the Atlantic Siding Company. Well done and thank you so
much.

"It's like a family business-- I've never had anyone that provided such good services. I had leaks coming into my bedroom from the attack due to bad winds blowing off shingles. Even though they were pretty busy business wise, they were able to sneak me in and get the job done before there was more bad weather. They kept in fantastic communication and even sent me cookies! I feel completely comfortable asking questions and speaking with their crew. They cleaned up the area when they were finished and it looked better than when they started! Since my husband and I can't get to the roof, the crew took pictures of the job when it was finished and transferred them to my phone so we could be confident that they did what they said they would. I let them put out one of their signs in my yard for a month, even though I'd leave it out longer if they wanted. Spectacular service!"

"I called Maximus Contracting about needing a new roof because of hail/wind damage.  I needed it quickly because we're selling the house soon, and I didn't have a big budget to work with because I received less from my insurance company than I was expecting.  Eric called back quickly and gave me a very reasonable estimate for the work.  The new shingles are of better quality than my original roof, and it looks great.  I finalized my shingle choice with Eric, and the crew completed the work the very next day.  Eric even came out to my office a couple times because my schedule doesn't often allow me to be at home during the day.  All in all, it was a great experience.  I feel confident that I received a great value, and the customer service was exceptional.  I would highly recommend using this company!

"It was a very frustrating experience. They came out they measured. I had 8 appointments before they finally arrived with the unit. Its an on going problem. I have not problem with the window-door unit itself. When I was considering doing it the salesman said that. They took my paint that matches my outside window. I had about a gallon. They said they would use that to mix the colours to paint the outside of the door-window unit. However subsequently, the owners notified me that they didn't do the painting on the outside. So, they did manage to get it stained well. It matched very well on the inside, but she gave me a credit on my final bill so i could hire someone to come and paint. So they've done what they can do about it. But I dont know why the sales man didn't know why they didn't paint or why they took the bucket of paint in the first place. Second wrinkle; Now they can't locate the bucket of paint. I had to go to symlinks to get a bit of laving off the porch that have been painted in the colour I wanted to plant these installation. I called and told her about it probably two or three weeks ago and I've had not response and I called again this morning and left another message. Thats problem #1. Problem #2 I had a real misunderstanding with the sales man who when he first came and measured the windows and told me what they would cost and that it had a life time warranty. I said well. I'm 81, do you have anything that might go for 10-20 years that would keep the resale value of the house up but would be less expensive. He said he'd have to check with the owner. Well then he came back and he said, they could do that. So he wrote up the bill and then he offered me this opportunity to finance through an external company, where by if I didn't pay off the bill in a certain length of time, That I will own no interest at all. So I went ahead to decided to take advantage of that. So when the bill was written up, I had paid a down payment. The sales man had inserted a figure that I thought was a reduction. It was in deed an addition to my bill. So I ended up paying a great deal more for the windows than I had understood that they were going to cost me. I do not know why he said that he was able to secure a better deal for me. hey in fact he had not. Now all this lead me to calling them. writing a long letter about what I thought the problem was. and that I was really quite distressed to discover that I had all this extra money to pay when in fact he had told me that he had got me a reduction. Well of course there it is on the bill that I had signed. It was my mistake in the way I had interpreted the way he had written it. That that was a reduction of it and not an addition. So I am stuck with paying what the original price was. Okay I made a mistake. I will accept the responsibility for that. But I do think the company had some responsibility in making certain that the bill is clear. Now its he's word/my word. but I have a pHD i've been a professor at the university. I'm not stupid about asking questions. SO in short. although there project had been short and they have been most courteous with me. I just would have to say it was an unhappy experience. The overall experience is not over yet. You see it was not an inexpensive project, thats why I would have gone for another vendor had I known what I know now. I guess my quarrel isn't with the people that own the company but it was with the sales person that I dealt with who is there sales person. For example, here is one of the initial pieces of the sheet. It says "Paint for exterior. Customer has paid in range for the exterior" and they indeed did. They came and picked it up. Now why didn't they know that their company doesn't paint? That baffles me. Then having picked it up, why haven't they been able to bring it back. He said we just have hundreds and hundreds of buckets of paint. Well what do they paint if they dont paint exteriors? It is why confusing. But she said, If I could get them a sample we will come and pick it up and have a bucket of paint picked for you to give to your painter. Well winter is coming on and maybe he will answer my call, my follow up call today. i dont know when I will finally have someone get me a laving strip off the porch; screen porch. so I had a match and I called and told them I did and thats the last I heard from them. I maybe should have over looked the call but I call again this morning and left them a message. I was able to find other vendors who where cheaper who had 20 year warranties. They where punctually to the point that when they said they where finally coming they did come. but it was all those our appointments where they called and said they just couldn't get the stain right and so they didn't want to install the product when it wasn't down properly. and so I appreciated that, but it surely took them a long time to get the stain right and I dont think the stain is so unusual in colour. The man who installed where fine. they were clean efficient. they did their job and they did it well."

"I submitted note to Steve through Angie's Listing requesting his services.  I added photos since ours seemed to be quite the job.  He called and came out right away to survey what needed to be done. Steve went over the various options so our home would have a quality look when the repairs were completed.  The brick had to be removed and replaced on one side of our garage door.  Also, our other side was buckling due to water on sidewalk, etc.  Steve and his group removed old brick, then replaced with some new and a few old brick for color and continuity.   It was quite the job.  I was also given various ideas to repair other items that needed attention.  The job was completed within the time frame Steve quoted and even below the cost. 

Our home looks beautiful, the brick and grout color accurately matched and brickwork seamless.

Steve and his group was very friendly, professional, and very hard workers.  I was extremely pleased with this company and would certainly call again for their quality service.

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