"Dave was kind, patient, and helpful from our initial phone call right through to our roof-installation day. He was always available to answer questions and went above and beyond in his customer service. His team was also efficient, friendly, and clean! After the roof was replaced, our yard was cleaner than when they got there--which is pretty impressive given the amount of work they had to do. Preferred Roofing is a great, honest company--and I would recommend them time and time again."

"The folks at JD Hostetter were very helpful during this entire process. They helped explain the services they would perform, answered any question and were easy to reach and communicate with. I interviewed 6 major roofing companies and went with JD Hostetter due to price, the interactions with their staff and due to their ratings on Angie's list. I will likely hire them in the future for other (non-roofing) work."

"The existing roof on the house and garage was torn off, new sheet decking installed on top of old board decking of the house, new flashing, drip edge, shingles installed on house and garage. Installed new ridge vent on house. Some of the siding that needed to be removed to install flashing was damaged as can happen but was replaced with new. It was a difficult roof with multiple dormer windows and odd angles but they did a careful job and I've received many compliments on the appearance from neighbors. Good job with clean up too. The owner is easy to reach and quick to reply to all questions I had. From day I asked for quote until day completely finished was under 5 weeks. Without hesitation I'd recommend them to others. Competitively priced compared to two other bids."

"We hired David Hazen Group to replace our roof and gutters, install new windows and repair some woodwork. We would highly recommend them, from our first contact with the ladies in the office to the job being completed the communication was great. Jason was our project manager and did an excellent job, keeping us updated and scheduling the work very efficiently. The carpenters did great work, paying attention to detail as did the roofers. All the workers cleaned up at the end of each day leaving the job site tidy."

"Blue Ladder was extremely responsive to our request for an estimate, working with our insurance carrier and timely completion of the job. We experienced a slight leak around roof venting shortly after the install and they were right there to handle it immediately. The roof looks great and we would definitely use them again!"

"We had multiple large companies provide an estimate for a new roof and gutters. We chose Indy Legacy Builders and were extremely pleased. The owner reached out several times, communicated well, and followed through with all work, questions, and expectations that were set. Everything from when the materials were delivered to the new roof/gutter installation, it was quick and on time and seamless. Highly recommend!"

"The whole process went extremely well. My salesperson, Scott, was so thorough in working with my insurance company as well as making sure I understood the entire process. The guys on the roofing crew were professional and got the job done in a timely manner. The final cost after insurance was reasonable and they offered financing to help. I would definitely use this company again!!"

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