yes, I own those roof hooks with the wheels on them, I couldn't imagine working with out them!

You just push the ladder up over the peak, then you flip the ladder over, I generally always use a 20' section off a 40'footer, that seems to always work well.

I bought a hook ladder a few years ago for painting the sides of dormers. Some a--hole stole it before I had the chance to use it.

Hey Tom,

I lived down town cleveland for a while on Superior at the Reserve Square for about a year and a half. I was a union Painter and wallcovering installer at the time. I had a lot of fun their, lol. I roamed the City hanging wallcovering in several of the cleveland area hospitals, banks, nursing homes and etc. I'm originally from Ohio, North East.

There are roof ladders on very fire truck and they are OSHA & IFSTA approved.

A roof ladder is one of the safest ways to stay on a roof.

We have used these for yrs, I now have an extension ladder that I have drilled holes in and can bolt together, throw the hook on with the wheel push up the roof and just flip it over.. pic below

Back in the day when I roofed we made chicken ladders out of wood ladders, nailed some 2x onthe top throw over ridge,
today we are a little safer.
I know this is not ohsa approved method but it works and I feel safe on it, usually use it to replace missing shingles...
