I've stopped using roof access for most of my sweeps and my clients don't even notice

You can get a chimney just as clean from the fireplace with the right tools, and it cuts out all the risky ladder work.

My cousin tried cleaning his second-story gutters from a step stool last fall and put his foot right through a window. Some risks aren't worth it lol.

Feel for your cousin, @stone.claire, that sounds like a brutal way to learn a lesson. I've seen too many DIY attempts go wrong from cutting corners. Honestly, some jobs just need a pro or at least the right gear.

Putting his foot through a window... that's a rough way to learn about ladder safety. Hope he's okay now.
