I had a metal roof put on this summer and it looks absolutely great. However, when I tried to walk on it to clean my chimney I kept sliding down!!!! Any suggestions on how I can walk on the roof to clean my chimney. The roof is not that steep but the chimney is right in the middle of the roof. The house is a salt box shaped home with a long sloping front roof and the back roof is not as steep but much higher and more difficult to get to. Any suggestions???? Thanks much.. Jim Kline

You can brace a ladder on the roof, or hang one from the ridge perhaps. There are also foam soled shoes and overshoes available which are designed for gripping on metal roofing. Try a Google search for "shoes for metal roofing" or search for names like Korkers and Cougar Paws.

Get the cheapest soft soled pair of sneakers that you can find. They are lightweight and really grip metal roofing.
