"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 person providing the quotation was very professional and did an excellent job of describing the various options for windows.  After the quote was accepted, they worked carefully to be sure they understood exactly our requirements and worked around our schedule to install.  Although it was well into autumn and very cool, we were never uncomfortable because they worked carefully to be sure that there was very little in the way of drafts.  The work was completed very quickly - in two days, if I remember correctly.  The windows have performed very well."

"Joe responded to my questions and even came out to the house to look at our roof to see if it would cost more than the special price offered in the Angie's List Deal before we made the purchase. He and his crew were very professional. My husband wrote him the following email message after the job was done.







Joe, we just wanted to say thank you for the professional

job your crew did replacing our roof last week.  I had to leave later in

the day and when I returned we had a new roof and the yard was spotless. 

They did an excellent job.  Raul was good to talk with in the

morning.  You found good people to be your crew.  I speak Spanish and

these guys are good.



You?ll have our recommendation to others if you wish it.

"Cochran installed new half-round galvanized seamless gutters on my home located in a historic district in Indianapolis. Several install companies I contacted either didn't reply or wouldn't take on the job. Cochran was more than willing to help me achieve my goals. I was surprised to learn half-round gutters could be done seamlessly. The PM assigned to my project provided exceptional service. The whole process was very simple and easy to understand. At all points of the process I felt well taken care of. Cochran focuses on effective communication which is hard to find as a homeowner seeking services. The material used on the project exceeded my expectations and the install crew was very knowledgeable, friendly, left our home in great condition, and provided a finished product that we are extremely happy with. I would highly recommend Cochran for any of your exterior home needs."

"If it wasn't for the bad winter it would have gone a lot quicker,made contact with Matt mid November he was one of four est. we obtained.I was really impressed on first visit he brought samples ,sat down and talked to find out just excatley we were wanting  to do very personable and listened,all other just walked around the house gave the est in fact one came early on friday(before we were home) and left est and note saying they were wanting to get done early on that friday.Also had one tell me that I could not afford insulated sideing and refused  to give me est and gave me est for sub standard  siding. Needless to say with the bad winter it was mid feb before project got started.Matt kept in close contact with updates every  2-4 days  whole project took about 2 1/2 weeks around the weather. house looks beautiful .workers were  very kind cleaned up well after they were done.I can not speak highly enough of the  personalized service i recieved from this company.Highly recomend"

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