"I am very pleased with the roof installed on a property I recently sold. Ben, the account manager involved was very professional, and the crew involved was excellent. The job was completed faster than anticipated, and the current homeowner called me to state how pleased she was with the new Owens Corning roof, and the terrific service provided by RoofCorp. Clean up was pristine and prompt."

"Don came by to do an estimate the day after we called. He did a thorough job crawling around the attic to assess the work that needed to be done. He even told us that we didn't need some of the work we thought we did, and saw other things that needed to be added -- at a price that was LESS than our original estimate!! Heartland worked with us to find the perfect shingle, then proceeded to do the work in a timely, professional manner. We recommend Heartland for all your roofing needs and would definitely hire them again."

"I required the services of a Roofing Organization to remove and replace several damaged Boral Tiles on my home. Part of the services which I required was locating and sourcing the "hard to find" tiles to match my home's roof. Urban Exteriors, (Lyndon) was very responsive, professional with no concern of the size of the project. Within two days the required tiles were located, sourced and installed. I was extremely pleased with Urban Exteriors' professionalism, responsiveness, workmanship! Larry M"

"I do not typically review vendors as I can be a bit critical. However, Chris Oliver (owner of Five Son’s Roofing) deserves all the credit for a job well done. From the moment I met him to the day the job finished), Chris is an old school guy that takes the time to assess your situation and develop an amazing plan. No one could touch the level of intelligence, craftsmanship or patience that Chris exhibits. I would have him do all my house projects if I could. Great around my family, great as a project manager, great under pressure and doesn't stop until the job is done right. Chris and his sons Chris and Mark’s willingness to answer questions make changes sometimes on the fly with no hesitation and always a GREAT ATTITUDE. The professionalism and courtesy they provided was outstanding. In today’s environment regarding getting what you pay for Five Son’s did that and it was refreshing. We would hire them again with no question."

"This is the second time I had my roof done in the past twenty years; my first roofer retired so I needed to look for a new contractor.    I got estimates from a number of companies.  All American Exteriors wasn't the lowest bid but they were very close;  I chose the company based on the estimated cost, the number of positive reviews, the length of time they've been in business and their rating on the BBB site, and in the end, their proactive response and interactions with me during the bidding process.  
The company owner, Adrian, was the initial contact for the estimate.  He came to the house to look at the situation and ask/answer questions.  Adrian wasn't much of a "schmoozer/salesman" type, and certainly not aggressive in pushing me to commit to his company before I as ready to, which I appreciated.  He provided a quite thorough description of the work to be done, and provided a complete written estimate very quickly.  He was also very patient in addressing numerous questions about the available options for the roofing job, even while not pushing me to commit to his company right away. 
My house is relatively small, but I had a dire need to get the work done by a given deadline.  Adrian and the company office manager were very proactive in scheduling the job.  On the day that the job was scheduled, the crew showed up very early, ready to go.  Because I needed to get the job done ASAP, the owner/project manager was not there first thing (he was getting another job going too), but that didn't concern me because he was "squeezing my job in at a very busy time", and  since he was reachable by cell phone and was going to come to the job later in the morning.  
The only snafu in the job was with the boom truck delivering the shingles.  An issue with the driveway and the location of a neighbor's valued tree precluded letting the boom truck drive up on the driveway and load the shingles directly onto the roof.  
The roofing crew wasn't happy about having to carry bundles of shingles up to the roof, but I felt that it wasn't that big a problem (not that many bundles to carry up, a small one story ranch, and a very cool day).  While the roofing crew supervisor was very courteous in expressing the crew's displeasure in having to carry the materials up to the roof, I was a bit concerned that the crew might be less motivated to provide quality in their work - but that didn't hold to be true.  
Adrian came over to the job later in the morning, and again in the afternoon, to check in on how things were going & I assume to provide some direction to the crew.  Adrian and the office manager (Elizabeth) were very responsive in working with the city to get my inspection scheduled and completed.  The city said pictures would suffice but I insisted that the inspector come to my property and do a walk through on the roof itself - and that had to be coordinated with the roofing company because they had to provide the ladder to get up on the roof.  
The job was done in mid-July and as I write this a few months later, so far so good.  I was pleased with the whole process, the cost, the quality of the materials and the work done, and with the professionalism/response of the company owner, employees, and sub contracting crew.   If there's a place to nominate this company to the Angie's List "hall of fame" I will do so.

"y experience with Hart Roofing was brilliant! Here is why: 1. No cost over runs 2. Quality material used to replace roof and gutters 3. Work staff was courteous, professional, on time, and very experienced A special thank you goes out to Jason Morgan the project manager. Jason ensured I understood the process, costs and timeline on when the work would start and when it would be finished. He was very responsive to my phone calls, texts messages and emails which I really appreciated. I strongly recommend Hart Roofing for your projects. I will hire them again the next time I need a new roof, gutters, or siding."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Watkins, CO

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.
