"I had three companies come out and provide estimates, Wyndhill's was by far the best. We have had them do some spot roof repairs in the past, and they have always been prompt, communicative, fair in pricing and thorough in their work. This last job we were looking for roofing reinstall estimates, as well as GACO coating estimates. Due to the type and condition of our roof, we opted for the GACO coating. We also had some fiberglass roof panels on our patio blow off in a windstorm and they replaced these too, providing us with a 5-year warranty on all of the work. They came when they said they would, did the work they agreed to do, and everything looks and is great so far. We would definitely use again and highly recommend them."

"We did not pay for it, it was provided by the person who was selling the home at the time. The quality was fine but the timeliness of the repair was not. It needed a new condenser and this company is country wide so they have one depot for parts. It took a week for the part to come from out west from us and we were in a heat wave and I liked to died. But because we had the home warranty, we were stuck. They covered it 100 percent but they were slow. They came as soon as they decided they would come. They came but it was not real fast. The worker was fine. It took about eight days for them to complete the job. They should get the parts here more quickly so they can do the repair quickly."

"I chose Dominic based on Angie's List reports, and overall the multi-phase project went reasonably well. There were several hiccups, delays and odd situations that prevent me from providing an overall "A" grade.

For a new house, I decided to get the interior painted, pull carpet from the first floor and install a mix of 4" hickory hardwood (about 80% of the main floor) and new carpet. Dominic recommended that painting go first, followed by floors. I solicited estimates from a variety of vendors via Angie's List, but Dominic's pricing for the entire job came in lowest and there was an implied advantage in dealing with a single person instead of multiple vendors for this large project.

Painting: Generally, the job went well, but because the original main color came out overly yellow, I decided to repaint the main color, costing me about $1500 additional. This was of course my decision, but had the painters left their masking in place and allowed me to walk the house before giving approval, I would have saved a significant amount of money. Instead, the painters tended to place efficiency over customer focus and they removed all their masking the same day they completed painting. I didn't have a chance to walk the house and see colors until the next day, and the painters had to come back and re-mask in order to change the main color. I swallowed the additional cost, but had Dominic paid a bit more attention to the communications and enabled me to approve at each step, the change in color would probably have been much less expensive.

Hardwood: A few hiccups here, mainly due to a sub that went MIA the week before I was scheduled to move in. I needed to stay in touch with Dominic during the entire week, and while he assured me that things would be finished before move-in, it got a bit dicey in the days just before. (Dominic's sub had a personal situation but he wasn't communicating with Dominic, leaving the finishing of the hardwood up in the air.) I was also curious as to the choice of wood filler color for the hickory hardwood. Most of the imperfections in the hickory were in the darker and small know sections of the wood, but the wood filler color used was relatively light. Had a darker filler color been used, I think the small fill-ins would have looked a bit more natural. The overall color of the finish was natural. Although Dominic spent the first few weeks of the project assuring me that the floors would "match" the hickory cabinets in the kitchen, the end result was definitely lighter than the cabinets. Dominic then shifted his stance to "the floors will age over time" and that "natural is natural" - meaning that there was never any way to tint or adjust the finish - it just went on. Overall the floors look good and with furniture down, I think they'll work out okay. There were a couple of swirl marks and finish imperfections that required follow-up and rework. The floor finishers left many mars and marks on the freshly-painted walls; the painters came back and touched up, but repainted several portions of white trim in the ceiling flat finish instead of the semi-gloss trim finish, so again they had to come back and fix that. In retrospect, I believe that if hardwood had gone first, followed by painting, the overall job would have been faster with less rework.

Carpet: Generally good - master bedroom, master closet and stairs to the basement only.

I'd say that the best way Dominic could achieve "A" ratings in the future would be to establish a better communications and approval protocol with the customer from the start. While Dominic seems to be able to price pretty well, I get a sense that he has a large number of concurrent projects and he tends to use that busy schedule as an excuse when issues pop up. It may be a few years before I'm ready to take on a similar project; when I do, I will probably look closely at alternate vendors, and if I were to choose Dominic in the future, it would only be with a very detailed discussion of what would happen, how I would approved each step of the project, and a specific plan of how Dominic would reduce rework and errors on the part of his subs."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Woody-creek, 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.
