We have been serving the Brownwood, Bangs, Early and surrounding areas for the past 25+ years. We specialize in residential roofing, including shingles, flat roofs, and metal. We also do re decking and minor/major roof repairs. Insurance claims are welcome. We have worked with our local insurance and real estate companies for many years and have earned a favorable reputation with all. Our roofing company is a small, local family owned business that started out in Dallas, Tx in 1988. We moved to Bangs, Tx in 1995 and began working with our local and surrounding areas, and have been here ever since. We have settled and raised our family in this area. We strive to be an honest and dependable company that upholds a strong and positive reputation. Customer satisfaction is important to us, as well as working in a clean, efficient professional manner. In 2006, we started our missionary ministry trips to Mexico. Our trips are solely funded by us, by the means of our roofing business. We've learned to always put God first in everything we do, to invest in His work and in return, He has blessed us abundantly in every way possible. Our missionary trips have now turned into city-wide meetings, where the lost and broken come to find hope, healing, and salvation. Each and every single trip we have made has been a true blessing to our lives. Thank you to all of our past and faithful customers, to all of our current customers and to all of our future customers...know that you too have been/will be a part of this great work!

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