"McCarty Roofing performed an excellent installation of a new roof for a commercial property I own. They were very helpful in diagnosing the prior damage on my old roof, and were very helpful in dealing with my insurance company. The roof installation was very quickly, and my commercial tenants weren't disturbed at all during the process. The new roof looks fantastic and is performing perfectly. Highly recommend McCarty Roofing & Restoration!"

"Very professional and very quick. I recently bought a house knowing that something was wrong with the roof but during COVID and housing pressure I went for it. I had JC roofing come and look at the roof and they found a hole where I could see a leek had been in the house and gave the option to fix or replace the entire roof. I went with an entire roof replacement because the house was 20yrs old. JC Gave me all the Info I needed to Insure my roof through the materials manufacturer and came out to my house multiple times to ensure the color and material was what I desired. Very good company. They also did the roof on schedule with no price changes and cleaned up after themselves. He even let me throw away some old furniture in the dumpster he rented for the roof material. All in all I was very pleased. And In twenty years I will come back to have do again"

"It went great! Trimmed some large trees that had potential to fall on electrical wiring near my home. The trimmings he did will also help save a crab apple tree. He even gave me a little bit a rope for my dog! I would highly recommend them to others."

"We are brand new to the Bloomington area, and Help Restoration Inc came to us highly recommended by our seasoned realtor. We trusted his suggestion, and are so glad we went with Ernie and the crew at Help Restoration. The process for getting our new roof and gutters installed was easy and painless (even a little enjoyable thanks to Ernie's expert input and great sample books to choose from!). Ernie and the crew were willing to talk us through the process and address any questions or concerns we had, and I would highly recommend their service."

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