"Keith Stickle with ReJuven8 Roofing just completed a metal roof install on our home. I cannot say enough about what a great job they did for us. In my time I have worked with contractors to build two houses, multiple add-on remodels, and a large metal barn. I can tell you Keith and ReJuven8 is by far the best experience I have ever had working with a house contractor. They were professional and very prompt from the beginning, answering all my questions (I am an engineer by occupation so I had plenty of questions) and provided status updates throughout the process. I don’t normally post reviews, but I am compelled to write this review because if you were like me, searching for a “good” metal roofing contracting based on internet information was very difficult at first. I talked with several contractors, but the responsiveness from Keith and his understanding of the installation process (he used to install metal roofs himself) was head and shoulders above the other companies I talked with. From a roofing perspective my house roof was a rather complicated design with 5 dormers protruding through the roof line along with the entire roof being on a steep 12x12 pitch, and includes a large rock chimney to seal against. When I was first considering a metal roof upgrade from my previous shingle roof (being replaced due to hail damage), I was a little apprehensive on installing a metal roof with all these joints and intersections. The most important thing for me was to find a contractor that could do a quality job since this will be our retirement home one day so we will own this house for many years to come. They did an excellent job and took the time required to do it right. Our house sits in the Sam Houston National Forest and they also did a great job of keeping the jobsite and surrounding woods picked up from litter and shingle material that was removed as part of the job. The actual roof they installed for us is a Berridge Cee Lock Standing seam metal roof, and we couldn’t be happier with how this roof improved the exterior look of our house. Also during the middle of roof install was the extreme cold spell in Feb 2021 with snow and ice where the temperature at our property got down to 9F. From day one ReJuven8 did a great job of weatherproofing the roof throughout the roof install job. Even with the roof partially complete and some areas of our roof having 6 inches of snow and ice there were no water leak issues. If you are looking for a quality job and a sales rep that is easy to work with and monitors the quality of the job throughout the installation process, I highly recommend that you talk with Keith at ReJuven8. Hopefully this helps with your search for a quality roof installer."

"We’re currently remodeling two bathrooms under the same contract. The first bathroom is complete, and the second one just started this week. While their bid wasn’t the lowest we received, it felt fair and, in hindsight, definitely worth it. The project manager was an excellent communicator—knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and never pressured us to accept the offer. We’re extremely pleased with the quality of work on the first bathroom and are confident the second will turn out just as well. A tip for future clients: make sure you have all the necessary materials on hand. We did, and the team completed the bathroom ahead of schedule. The space is narrow, so the photo angles don’t do it justice, but I hope they still give a sense of the high-quality work delivered."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Willis, TX

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.
