Fishers exterior siding repair

Completed a difficult one day job that included working on a roof that was very steep and also fully extending my 32' extension ladder to reach the top of the chimney.

I was able to use my recently purchased "roof boots" to handle the steep roof line. This allowed me to lay a ladder on the roof and sit on it to prep and paint the siding. The roof was just to steep for the pivit ladder tools.

Working on that very steep roof must’ve been real hard and risky, more so if you don’t have safety gear to keep you from falling from the roof. It’s definitely a good idea you used roof boots to help you grip the roof tightly and keep from sliding. Anyway, looks like you did it pretty well. The siding looks so much better now. In fact, it looks good as new. Great job, Tim!

Great job! I commend you for using safety equipment while doing those chores. A pair of non-slippery boots, rope ties, and a ladder that stands firmly on the ground is very important when doing a roofing job.
