Everything went smoothly and relatively quickly.  They planned around the weather and the house was protected from the weather by the end of the first day (in other words, they had the underlayment completed as well as many of the shingles).  This is important because you never know when a rain shower will pop up.

The most useful thing was a software tool that their sales guy (Jarod) used for me in which he took a photo of my house and then was able to show me the various shingle colors as they would look on my house.  This is really what sold me on A-Best.

The project manager (Tim) arrived bright and early exactly on schedule and walked me through exactly what was going to happen (which really put my mind at ease.)  I knew that there was going to be some water damage in a couple of spots and pointed these out to him; he responded that he would wait until they exposed these areas and then give me an estimate for any further costs.  This turned out as expected and Tim wrote a change order.  These two items were minimal cost. 

I also had them removed a powered roof vent and install soffit/ridge vents.  This too went smoothly.

The job was done exactly when Tim said it would be done and it looks great.

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Treece, KS

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.
