"Excellent service. Paint crew worked tirelessly for two days power washing, scraping, caulking, and then finally painting. They met and exceeded my expectations. Gutter crew installed covers and rehung two gutters that were flowing the wrong way (a problem that a previous company failed to correct). So far (<1 month), the covers and the repair seem to be working. Pricing and scheduling were very reasonable. I would not hesitate to use JD Hostetter & Associates again."

"We were in need of having our gutters, downspouts, and roof valleys cleaned out. They arrived within a week of our initial contact. The job was completed quickly and they let us know exactly what they found and resolved. I would recommend this company."

"The AL list was very unclear.  I thought it covered two people and it didn't.  We got in a heated argument about that. I did have to pay extra for 2 people so there was no bargain on that.  I had to pay $40 an hour extra.  If AL and them would've communicated better, it would've been better.  Half the problem was with AL the way it was advertised."

"After receiving bids from several different companies, AJ’s was by far the most competitive and the best value for our money. The entire process from scheduling to installation was simple and seamless and their crew did an amazing job with our new roof and clean up."

"The whole process went extremely well. My salesperson, Scott, was so thorough in working with my insurance company as well as making sure I understood the entire process. The guys on the roofing crew were professional and got the job done in a timely manner. The final cost after insurance was reasonable and they offered financing to help. I would definitely use this company again!!"

"The sales person came to our home in early November, initially to discuss replacing the windows with new wooden ones. When I told him what I was looking for he offered wood, but also gave to option of vinyl and then the pros and cons of each. He showed me an example of the window that would be installed, as well as the specs on energy efficiency and I was sold. We placed the order for the windows and at the time of measurement, added three more. The windows arrived in early-mid December, but due to our own scheduling conflicts, were not installed until the end of the month. Installers were prompt and quick in getting the old windows out and the new in, keeping cold exposure in the house to a minimum. They then wrapped the sills and put in more insulation around the windows (there was evidently not much there from the original build). There was minimal mess and they really tried to clean up after themselves, especially indoors. There was minor damage to one of the trim boards (on seven windows), but we were told of the possibility before hand and the board is old, so we will replace it in the spring. Overall, we are very happy with the installation and the new windows. I have been able to turn down the heat in the house several degrees and no longer have a breeze. I will likely have them replace the remaining windows in the near future."

"It went really well. They were able to get us in earlier than we had anticipated. They were prompt and worked hard. Our roof was replaced in just one day. Cleanup afterward wasn't exceptional, but the overall was still excellent.

"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 found The Home Improvement Company on Angie's List.
Matt quoted the work thoroughly and promptly. He arranged the schedule based on the lead time for the windows, and once they came in we finalized the start date, which he met.
His window installation & painting crews went above & beyond our expectations for the work. Matt, himself, did the stain matching on the trim. It had an unexpectedly strong odor, but was worth it, as it matched perfectly.
It is clear that Matt and his crews take pride in their work and love what they do.
They were patient and kind with my elderly mom, making a potentially disruptive process almost enjoyable.
We wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
We highly recommend."

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