I'm about to work on estimates for a roofing company, will this ladder be fine to use to get on top of most roofs, measure a few things and get off? will it reach?

It depends on how high the roof is. It does extend to an extention ladder I believe it will extend to approx. 15'. You could get one of the longer ones also.

It is 17' tall in fully extended mode. In "A" frame mode its 8' 6". In normal residential houses you should not have any issues. There are other cheaper models but I was and still is very convinced that this is the best and most versatile ladder on the market.

I use it not FULLY extended to clean our gutters no problem and feel very safe and comfortable. Have not actually stepped off it onto the roof. Check the measurements to see if the height meets your requirements. The versatility is important to me. Step,extended,etc.

Possibly; it depends on the ladder design. I'd look at a universal item for other ladders, though.

No this would not work, you can only use at the top. If you are in a situation where the ladder is not on firm ground, you would need something much different to stabilize the bottom of the ladder - large sheet of plywood - something like that.

Yes, itll break the ice and the home your working on. Id choose a smaller demolition hammer. This thing is heavy and i wouldn't hold it on a roof for any sum of money

Not specifically for that. Being up on a ladder with this would be somewhat risky, being it is bulky and long with the attachment. Ergonomically it would not work work well unless you are able to walk on your roof and can blow the leaves out of the gutter. I would not use the suction attachment to vacuum the leaves from the gutter if you are able to stand on the roof because it will be too risky being you have to stand close to the edge and to the gutter to suck out the leaves. So overall, the answer would be no in my opinion.

I don't think it's high enough. I am only 5'1 so I don't know how tall you are but I could just reach to clean my 1 story rain gutters. The ladder has the reach that it states in the ad.

The top end is basically a loop. I guess that you could have one or two hanging hooks. I would look into having a special hook installed. This ladder moves around a lot when climbing. You need a fair amount of space.

it might be a bit top heavy, I have multiple height ladders and found out a 6ft. gives you more reach than usually needed. If you are trying to trim at 20 ft or higher I would recommend a professional swinging branches from that height can be dangerous.

I am 67 and 5'2". I bought this ladder to be able to reach the roof safely. I also bought the "Guardian Fall Protection 10800 Safe T Ladder Extension System" , so that I can move from the ladder to the roof easily and safe. The ladder is light and well constructed and with very good locks when you extend it; there is no way it will close or slide back

I really don't know. I have not used it while on a ladder. It's a great tool and works well.

You need something very stable to stand on when you are rolling the ladder up the roof. I had a staging set up and stood on the platform with the edge of the roof at about waist height. I needed a 16' section from a 32' extension ladder to get to the ridge on my roof. There is a u-tube video showing how to do this from an extension ladder that was stabilized so it would not shift.

Oh yeah no problem. Ladder may hurt their feet but once they are up there they should be fine :-)

Yes you will be able to reach - this is a great ladder - very easy to move around and has slots for light bulbs - I am very happy with the purchase

We have only used it a short time (since Christmas), but it appears to be very stable and does not move. We use it in the kitchen with laminate floors to reach items in upper cabinets. The ladder doesn't have anything special on the feet other than some grooves cut into the wood, but is still very stable.

Do you mean 6 ft off the ground? I don't think it's quite that long. If you google the name of the ladder you will find the company's website & they give the dimensions. I think it's 66 inches long... you would need one 72 inches long so no I don't think it will work for you.

you should have no problem with this ladder - it flods up below the line of your rails - i have had mine for a while and it is still very very slick and safe.

I think my ladder is 36 foot extention. This works well with this aluminum ladder. The only thing I would tell you is that it makes the ladder heavier because it is heavy metal compared to the ladder. It is best and safest solution for my property, better than using bricks or wood to prop up.
