Heated Gutters for Forest Park, Illinois Winters
Heater Cap keeps the eaves on a Forest Park roof draining through the thaw and the refreeze, so the ice never gets a place to start.

Heated Gutter Installers in Forest Park, Illinois
An ice dam is not a gutter problem that happens in winter; it is a winter problem that ends up in the gutter. Warmth escaping through the roof melts the snow above the heated part of the house, the meltwater runs down to the cold overhang at the eave, and there it freezes. The ridge of ice that builds up holds the next melt behind it until the water backs up under the shingles and finds a ceiling. In Forest Park that cycle can repeat a dozen times between December and March. Home Improvements USA installs Heater Cap, the heated gutter system built to break it, and our crews are trained on the product rather than improvising with cable.
How It Works
A Gutter Cover With Heat In It
Heater Cap is the Gutter Cap hood with a heating element built into it, so one system does both jobs: debris stays out of the trough all year, and through the freeze the cover keeps a clear path open along the eave and down the downspout. Because the melt has somewhere to go, no ridge of ice forms at the overhang and nothing backs up under the shingles. It goes on the north face and the shaded valley first, because that is where the sun never quite finishes the job.
A clear drainage path through the freeze
No ice dam at the eave, no backup under the shingles
Debris kept out of the trough all year
No more cleaning your own gutters
Prevent Ice And Snow
What a Winter Costs a Forest Park Roof
The damage an ice dam does is almost never at the eave where you can see it. It is a stain that appears on a bedroom ceiling in February, insulation that never dries out, a fascia board that has been wet since Christmas, and on the worst of them a gutter torn off the house by the weight of the ice hanging from it. All of that is cheaper to prevent in October than to repair in March, which is the only argument for this system we think is worth making.

UPDATED 08/28/24 2nd FIVE STAR Review I’ve worked with Home Improvements on three projects now. My two past projects (installing an entry door and a new roof on the house and garage), and the current project (installing a garage side door), were all quickly and expertly done, with no mess left behind. Julie made it extremely easy to book the appointment for the work (yes, an added bonus is that you can talk to a real person at this company!), and Mike (the sales rep) presented with me an honest and accurate estimate prior to starting any of the work. The prices are fair, and this is one of the few companies I've dealt with that consistently prioritizes customer satisfaction. I highly recommend using Home Improvements. First FIVE STAR Review: I hired Home Improvements to install a new exterior door. I was very pleased from start to finish. Mike and the workers were all professional and polite, and went out of their way to make sure I was satisfied with the job. Even the village building inspector remarked that the new door looked great, and this was a job that was well done.
Worked with John and Julie. They were honest and transparent throughout the process. The workers were punctual and the end product (roof) looked great.
A great home improvement experience from start to finish. Thank you.
Job well done on time and professionally. I highly recommend this company
I had a great experience working with John, Julie, and the entire team at Home Improvements USA. Everything was run very professionally, which can't be said for all home improvement companies. Would recommend!
They did a wonderful professional job!They are awesome! Very professional job!
So delighted at the service received from Steve and his team! I needed a new roof because of hail damage and he patiently guided me through the process of making a new roof happen. My insurance company processed everything in a timely manner and Steve's team got it all done in one day! So satisfied with Home Improvement USA and looking forward to working with them again soon. Next up: Windows!
Home Improvements USA, Inc. did an excellent job with my roof installation, heated gutter cap installation and overall gutter and gutter cap maintenance. The level of professionalism, attention to detail and quality of workmanship were exceptional! I highly recommend them and will definitely use them for future projects!
The guys were on time and very professional. Took them approximately 4 hours to remove old sliding glass door and install a new one...very quick. Finished product stunning in appearance and function. I am VERY happy with impressed with this business!
2 yrs later update. After my Turtleshell roof installation, I have found the benefits have exceeded my expectations. My cooling costs over the past 2 years have been about 30% less compared to my asphalt shingle roof that I had. Survived 2 hail storms with no dimples. Well worth the money.
Installers take pride in their work. Estimator didn’t try to pressure me to make a sale. Highly recommend !
Each step was easy
Nice and neatly installed.
The estimator who I initially met with was thorough and answered all of my questions. He came back with shingle samples and adjusted the price based in the shingles I chose. I had to wait several months to have the work done and he and the company honored the initial price. The scheduler was helpful and also addressed questions and issues. She arranged for the roofer to come out prior to the work starting to evaluate the leak and discuss the diagnostic approach. The roofer and team were on time, worked continuously, were polite and cleaned up thoroughly. There were 8-9 men here and they did an excellent job. The roof looks great and I would highly recommend this company.
nice thia place
Great service. Fast and professional! Will use this company again.
These guys were great!! They were early to start install once the windows were complete with production. They did 9 double hung and a bay window all in 1 day. I was blown away by their professionalism and teamwork to get these installed. The quality of the windows are amazing as well. I could feel the difference right away inside my home. I would do this all over with them if I had to!! Thank you guys!!!
Today's consumer space is very complicated: what is the right product for the need, which contractor is best choice to provide the necessary installation/service, and which program of product and contactor makes the whole job both successful and affordable. Well, no complication here. The product is Turtle Shell Gutter Cap. My property needed strong leaf and litter protection with perfect water management ... simply, this is the ONLY PRODUCT that provides a simple, technically correct, and long term solution to those issues. Plus, Home Improvements USA did the literal "perfect job": Professional, Prompt, Workmanlike, and Transparent. Therefore, I am giving my top recommendation to the product and the contractor as both have earned it richly. Tony
A great experience took a while to install but not there problem supply chain issues but professional and clean fast
Home Improvement USA installed new gutters and leaf protection covers on my home. The salesman was very professional, the installers were very professional. Went to work immediately. They did a beautiful job. Would highly recommend them. Thank you Home Improvement USA.
I had gutters installed by Home Imp USA- they were easy to work with, the gutters match my house color. They cleaned up the yard and it looks great!
They installed a fantastic product called malarkey. And did it in less than a full day. Prompt. Clean. Beautiful. Thank you!
Gutter cover installation.
We had a great experience purchasing windows and a sliding glass door from Home Improvements USA. The salesman was very nice and straight forward. He wasn't pushy or invasive like other salesmen were with us. The windows came in after a slight delay (but what isn't delayed right now?) Two men installed three large slider windows and a sliding glass door in about eight hours. They did an amazing job and pointed out everything the previous installers did wrong. They did an excellent job and at a great value. I highly recommend this company.
Steve, Julie, Justin, John, Marty and the rest of the crew are very attentive to customers' needs. The patented gutter system is unique, makes life easier, and eliminates the fall risk when cleaning gutters from a ladder.
Excellent workmanship on the gutter replacement and Gutter Caps. Thank you
From the outset I was impressed with this company. My first contact was related to a new roof as a result of storm damage. The individual who came to do the estimate was professional and identified issues which others had not. On the day of installation the owner of the company came to see how things were going- impressive. Note, that my next door neighbor was having the same thing done by the same company. We both had determined that this company was going to do the best job. Some weeks later, again as part of storm damage, I called Home improvements again- this time to repair my vinyl siding. Again, the staff was efficient, effective and responsive. I found their prices responsible, and I would recommend them enthusiastically. ct
Great working with HIUSA from the estimate through completion. Will call them again.
We had a custom French patio door installed in 2021. Unfortunately the door was defective. This was not immediately known until Home Improvements came out to adjust. After going back and forth with the manufacturer Home Improvements replaced the door with beautiful slider at no cost to us. They took quite an expensive loss to make us happy. I greatly appreciate their strong ethics and commitment to customer service. I have recommended the company to a friend who also had a sliding door replaced. They too are very happy with Home Improvements. Thank you so much.
Outstanding service. The team that came over to do the job was amazing went right to work. They cleaned up after they were done. I'm already think about using them to replace few windows.
First, I received a return call within 24 hours and a sale person was at my home 2 days later!!! Rick was very professional, knowledgeable and a "MAN of his word". I called to check on the status of the project, Julie was professional and honest. Most of all, she found the answer to my questions and return my phone call within 30 minutes. She called to informed me when the material is due to arrive. She called to informed me that the project can start a day ahead of schedule. Installation started 15 minutes before scheduled timeframe. The team was EXCELLENT!!!! EVERYTHING was completed as agreed. I referred four of my neighbors to use this company!!! Most of all, every person I spoke to were a person of their words!!!! You will find a cheaper company but you won't find a company that will give quality service, quality material, quality personnel / team. This is a GREAT company if you need quality work on your home!!!
I throughly appreciated working with Home Improvements for the installation of our new roof. Not only did we need a new roof, but we also needed to add venting. Our installer was able to identify the venting problem for us, and we are so thankful he did. We received a new roof, proper ventilation, a new chimney and are very pleased with the results. For quality and complete work, I would recommend Home Improvements without hesitation.
I was so impressed with the outstanding job done to replace my roof and skylights. Not only was Home Improvement professional, timely and efficient, they went above and beyond what they were contracted to do. Steve, the owner even came out to tell me that they were going to do an extra step in repairing my roof at no charge. They also did an excellent job finishing the inside of the skylights. I have had much experience with other contractors and these people were clearly excellent and professional.
We were very impressed with the quality of the gutters and gutter guard product and installation. The office personnel and installation crew were very professional and cared about us as people making sure our needs were met in keeping our home safe and dry! They don't try selling products or services you don't need. We look forward to using them in the future for other home improvement projects.
The installation was efficient and received great service. Hugo was super knowledgeable and courteous to provide me with all the information. The last two or three years I had problems with water seepage coming through after the rain. Once the work was finalized in May these several rain days No More !! No more worries of having water coming through due to the overflow of the water from gutters. Extremely satisfied !!😊👏
I’m not the type to typically write a review, but when someone goes out of the way to help you, you return the favor. We had our roof installed by Home Improvements USA about 1.5 years ago, and then got new siding earlier this year from another company. (We would have rather used HI USA for the siding, but had to go through insurance, which forced us to go a different direction.) The design of our home over the front porch is rather poor (the porch roof pitches steely toward a side wall at a 45 degree angle, with no pitch change to slow the water) causing issues with snow build up and ice dams, which likely led to some issues with water getting into the porch overhang. The issue is chiefly the result of a poor design, and less about the quality of the craftsmanship of the roofing and siding jobs. After speaking with both the roofing company (HI USA) and the siding company, Steve Tenute (President of HI USA) stepped up to help fix the situation. What was originally thought to be a quick, couple hour job turned into something much more extensive. Steve’s crew went the extra mile to troubleshoot the issue, re-work the area between the roof and siding, change the pitch of the roof in this valley, install a metal barrier and double ice shield, and re-roof the area. Instead of going the easy route with a band-aid solution, they did things the proper way for longevity to avoid issues that could arise in the future, even though it took longer and was more of a cost to them. Steve is a man of integrity, and I have appreciated HI USA’s support in this matter. The protection of our home is very important to us, and Steve truly understands his customers. I would recommend their services to those looking for a reputable and honest company who stands behind their work and their customers.
I had them installed new windows in my house. Home improvement guys are very professional and provided me with best pricing and information. Jospeh and others provided the best service for window installation. They were very efficient and made sure of every detail.
They were SUPER fast to reply to my emails and questions. The worker that came to replace my windows did a GREAT job, and was super professional. He vacuumed after he was done, and left my rooms looking great. I was very happy with the whole experience with them, start to finish. Highly recommended!!!
My family has used Home Improvements USA for a number of projects over the last 20 years including siding, gutters, soffit/fascia and windows. When I bought my own house recently, they replaced my patio door with a much more energy efficient model with built in blinds that I absolutely love. I have a dog that is a jumper and the built in blinds is a game changer for me. I also added the upgraded pet screen and appreciate how much stronger it is. I included the pet lock feature that allows me to open the door a few inches while locking it firmly in place giving me peace of mind knowing my pets can't get out and bad people can't get in. I plan on going back to them in the spring for a new roof, too. It's nice to have a trustworthy one-stop-shop for most exterior projects!
I had a total roof replacement including tearing off several layers of old shingles. HIUSA was very professional, open and honest with their quoting process, performed the work as expected and was done before the set installation date. Highly recommend them for roof replacement!
Justin came out and was very knowledgeable about their gutter guard system and gave the best price of 3 bids. He wasn't pushy and was straight forward with their proposal. After calling him back to write a contract the scheduling and installation was seamless. I've recommended to family and friends who have also used them.
We recently chose to have our gutters replaced and upgrade to Heater Caps from our current Gutter Caps. We originally went with Gutter Caps 20 years ago and as they performed so well during that time replacing with the same product was an easy choice. When we first met with Justin and let him know we wanted to heat the entire cap system, he went right to work to engineer the large and complex system. After fully surveying the project scope he worked to come up with a four circuit solution wiring the entire system into our breaker box, even adding indicator lights to signal when the individual circuits were energized. We have experienced significant ice dams in the past and are confident that the Heater Cap solution will eliminate the issue. Justin is fantastic to work with and we highly recommend both Justin and Home Improvements USA.
Home Improvements USA did our new roof and it was an excellent experience. They were very helpful, gave us clear options, and were very responsive when we had questions. Steve, the owner, even checked in with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The Turtle Shell roof is a really nice product as well - sturdy and attractive. Metal roofs are awesome! Recommended!
Very happy with my new roof and with the entire process. Would highly recommend.
Very responsive, got a quote quickly for our gutters they were HONEST on what we did and didn’t need instead of trying to sell us on every little thing, which was very refreshing. Their team was professional, friendly and did a great job. Highly recommend!
We had Home Improvements put Gutter Cap on our house in about 2008. Very happy with the results. Saves an annual hassle to get the gutters cleaned et al. A hail storm in mid 2019 damaged the roof and the insurance company replaced it and the Gutter Cap. Very professional company and I would recommend them. Steve, the owner, got personally involved as we picked out the wrong color initially. Installers stopped and Steve came by with large pieces of cap to make sure we were happy with the color.
They installed gutter cap (no more leaves) and repaired gutters. Excellent product, great price and professional installation. Highly recommend the product, company and the people.
I had Gutter Gap on my house working perfectly for 15 years when my roofer removed it after being instructed not to. At his expense he installed a similar leaf preventing product that didn't work and caused constant gutter clogging problems. So after putting up with the defective product for a few years I put Gutter Cap back on my house and garage and I'm extremely happy with the results. Home Improvements USA is a great company to work with providing quality products, quality installers, and easy to work with sales staff at a reasonable price.
Service was scheduled right away. Done on time. Very easy to work with. Friendly and helpful staff! Excellent price as I quoted three other places and went with Home Improvements USA
My wife and I purchased 4 new windows from Home Improvements USA slightly over a year ago but I wanted to wait to give my review because I wanted to see how the windows are holding up and I would like to say that I am happy we contracted Home Improvement USA. The quality is great and the windows are custom fit. Originally we were going to go with your typical Home Depot or Lowe’s but I came to realize that the windows are not custom made and then use a ton of caulk to cover the huge gaps around the window perimeter. Our windows required the least amount of caulk because the window fit perfectly. They are very professional, especially their workers. When they came to give us the quote, I was very impressed how knowledgeable they were not only with the windows but with the installation processes. Other contractors were very vague and that is one of the reasons we did not hire them. We took months doing our research and I am glad I went with this company. I hope this review helps people who are indecisive. You will not go wrong with this company!
We had a wonderful experience with Justin and Steve. They explained everything and were very responsive to our needs. We were already repeat customers and will use them again.
Great replacement window company. The installers cleaned everything up and even washed the windows after install.
We had our windows replaced by Home Improvements USA a few years ago. This year they replaced our roof. We like the job they did, the price was fair and we liked the people. Thanks, folks!
They’re very meticulous and thorough. Unbeatable prices, and excellent craftsmanship. I’m so happy with my bathroom remodel done by them.
Professional, responsive and empathetic provider.
Wonderful people, excellent service, price,& installation. I will be using them again on my next project.
Home improvements USA put a new Turtle Shell metal roof and new gutters and gutter guards on our house in Schaumburg, We are very happy with the end result. . I would highly recommend Them for your roofing and gutter projects.
After the Memorial Day hail storm we had a bunch of different roofing and siding companies knocking on our door to tell us how they'd be able to get our new roof and siding "free". The door to door guys didn't seem to really care, so I went with a referral from a friend and called Home Improvements USA. Justin came on a Friday, and walked me through the process. He was back the following Monday to walk the house and assess the damage with my Adjuster and I. The adjuster agreed the house needed to be completely resided and needed a new roof. Justin called me and told me they'd be able to start as soon as the permits came in. The team was able to start and finish the roof on Thursday, and came back out to start the siding the following Monday. By the end of the week my home's exterior had completely transformed. My wife and I are so grateful to Justin, Matt, and the rest of their team who got it all done with beautiful craftsmanship. We are thankful we decided to go with Home Improvements, as our work is now done, while all the neighbors still just have signs in the yard waiting for the companies to come start the work!
Great job..great people to deal with.
I just wanted to thank Home Improvements USA for helping us with our replacement window installation at our home. The entire process was great, from the initial design consultation where we went through the window options all the way through the actual installation. I thought the team did a great job, they cleaned up, and most importantly they worked around our schedule. We were really pleased that the owner Steve was involved in the process, you could tell he really valued our business. We plan on possibly installing one of their gutter protections down the road. Overall great experience and I would Highly Recommend them!
Our new roof at Goebbert's looks like traditional shingles and with the lifetime warranty was such a great decision! The roof looks cleaner with minimal maintenance. A great choice to go with the Turtle Shell Roof!
Really enjoyed working with Home Improvements USA for our new roof. Marlene, the sales manager, did a great job going over our roofing options and addressed all of our questions and concerns with having the work done late in the season. The job was completed in one day, tear off and new roof, and Steve, the owner, was on site making sure everything was done to our satisfaction. Thank you for the great work Home Improvements USA.
When I decided to replace every window in our home, I knew I had a lot of homework to do. I took it very seriously: learned a lot about windows, met with lots of contractors, got lots of quotes. I chose Home Improvements USA because: 1) the window was one of the best I've researched in terms of value, efficiency, and warranty, 2) their overall quote was not the highest or the lowest, they were right in the middle, and 3) they were able to offer a interest-free financing to help with paying for this huge project. They also have an A+ rating with BBB. So on paper it was a fairly easy decision, but would still have been scary if not for the absolute pleasure it was working with Justin. I met with a lot of guys who tried every known sleazy salesman tactic, Justin never did and always showed me great respect and courtesy. He was the only rep to make me feel like he was in this with me, like we were shopping for windows together. He was highly responsive all the way through, even during and after the install. He even came out all the way from Naperville to my home in Grayslake just to see how the install was going. As for the install: blown away. I didn't have a crew here to install 17 windows in 1-2 days... I had one guy, Mike, who carefully removed and installed each window one at a time. He had help with the big windows but would only let the guy lift and clean - it was clear he was a master craftsman and took great pride in his work. The only ding in this experience was that it took a while to get my orders installed even after they arrived from the manufacturer, but now I understand that was just because Mike was unavailable, and I now know I wanted no one else installing my windows but him, so it was well worth the wait. We also replaced our entry door, and reconfigured a downspout - everything came out beautiful and I could not be happier. We intend to hire these guys again next year to replace all our siding. I still say do your homework, but if I could save anyone the trouble and pain of shopping for windows or siding, I would say just hire these guys and sit back and relax knowing you've made the right decision.
