"It was great from start to finish. They were very professional, courteous, affordable, and efficient. They kept me well informed of when the job would start, the progress, and the completion. Even with a couple of issues that were beyond their control, such as weather, they were able to complete the job within less than a week. My house looks beautiful and my neighbors are calling to tell me how awesome they think the house looks. I would highly recommend Sun-Ray Roofing and would not hesitate to hire them again."

"It was an absolute amazing experience working with Church Roofing. Max was very helpful to talk to about options and concerns I had with my roof. They were extremely professional, quick and cleaned up all the mess for my family and I. Will definitely use them again for my next roofing project. Couldn’t be happier. Thanks Max!"

"They handled everything with the adjustor for our insurance company.  Everything was handled in a timely manner.  Ron was great to work with.  We had no issues with the quality of their work.  They also worked around my scheduling and pricing with them was very good.  Their estimate was the best our of several we received.  I love my roof and their clean-up was perfect.  They are the only company I would use."

"Everything went as promised. He advised me on what color roof would be best and was right. I am satisified with the job done on the roof.
The clean-up was good on the roof job and the attic stairs.
I am extremely satisfied with my attic stairs. He purchased  stairs that are aluminum rather than wood because they are more sturdy...and I am glad he did, there is a big difference. It took about 3 hours to install the stairs after the roof was completed.
The opening was trimmed out perfectly. All I will have to do is paint the door opening.
I have a few small jobs I will have Dimmit do for me in the future. I will recommend Dimmitt to anyone that needs a contractor.
The only problem I can see is the wait for them to do work. They are busy. If they do work for you, you will know why you waited, it is worth the wait. They are good. I can't say enough good things about them.

"Mr. Scott was friendly, punctual, and eager for our business.  His price quote was 25% less than any of the other three bids we obtained.  However, as we learned more about the roofing process, we learned that his bid did not provide for the quality of work we were seeking.  He did not plan to replace all the roofing paper nor include an ice edge.  These were items that would not have been noticable in the short term but could have caused issues over time. "

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

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