Ben answered my phone call promptly and was out to see my roof and give me an estimate the same day or next day, he emailed me an estimate promptly. When called later to schedule his company do the work I reminded him that we had talked about removing the chimney but it wasn't on the estimate. Ben agreed that the company would do this work as well. Above & Beyond roofing company arrived very early on the day scheduled and had 14-15 guys to do the work of removing the existing roof. I could not tell who was in charge and I spoke to several different men at different times when they had questions. No one seemed to know that the chimney was to be removed but they were glad to do it when I told them it needed to be done. It's a good thing I was home to make sure this work was done. I specifically asked them to not throw their cigarette butts down in my yard - even going so far as to show them where I have a flowerpot filled with sand that they could use to dispose of their butts. The old roof was removed by 11:00 and the new singles delivered while the guys left for lunch. After lunch the roof was repaired in spots and the new shingles applied by 4-6 guys and they were done by 5:30 that day. The guys did use tarps to throw the old shingles on to dispose of the trash but I later had to pick up multiple chunks of brick and pieces of shingles out of my yard. I picked up over 95 roofing nails out of my front yard AND driveway. I also picked up around 40-50 cigarette butts out of the front yard which I found very disgusting , especially after I had specifically asked them not to do this and was reassured that it wouldn't happen. I have dogs and I was worried about them stepping on or ingesting nails or cigarette butts. I have also called the company's office twice to ask for my 30 year shingle guarantee to be mailed to me and I have never received it.

Pros - quick response, written estimate received quickly after inspection, lots of employees to get the roof done in one day, roof done in one day, nice employees, good looking roof when completed.

Cons - lack of communication from Ben to employees and lack of communication from employees to homeowner, lack of cleaning up nails and cigarette butts after job completed, lack of response from office when I called to have written shingle guarantee mailed to me.

"This repair went well. I am very satisfied with  Southern Grace Exteriors. The worker was a consummate professional. This was a two-day repair. On the first day, he gave me a call prior to the appointed time to remind me that he was on his way. He showed not long before the appointed time, gathered details about my concern, and went right to work. After examining the problem area, he provided me with the details about what was causing the leak. He show me pictures of the damage up close and informed me what it was I was seeing. Any questions I had were answered in a polite and professional manner. He rescheduled for another day to make the repairs. Again, he showed slightly before the appointment time and took care of business. He was actually done making the repairs much more quickly than I anticipated. He took up close pictures of the finished product and shared them with me. Though he could have milked me for additional payment, he did not. I would highly recommend  Southern Grace Exteriors to anyone needing home roof work.

"Siding Repair Systems does an excellent job in everything they do. If something was seen that was a problem they brought it to our attention so it could be rectified by the next day. With our house that was a daily occurrence. With everything that was done the house is able to keep the heat or cold regulated. When you touch the wall you feel a neutral temperature, the cold or heat does not seep through the walls like it used to.The house is also more sound proof to outside noises i.e wind, rain, barking dogs, people working in the yard (mowing their lawn) early in the morning. Overall the house maintains its temperature making it a comfortable living environment.We love the Pella windows that were installed and plan to replace all windows in our house eventually. The design of the windows make maintenance of the windows very easy and safe."

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