All you may need is a couple of ladders and some roof jacks for your roofing needs. However replacing siding is a different situation. It requires that you set up some type of platform scaffolding to easily and safely work on the upper portion of your home. You cannot use a make shift scaffolding such as using a wood plank between a set of ladders, it is very unsafe and can cause more damage than good. The ladders are not sturdy and can rock back and forth causing a very unstable working environment. The larger of a standing area that you can create with scaffolding also provides you with a place for tools, and the staging of the needed materials.

Any rental center will have the steel tubing scaffolding that you can rent for up to a month and will come with easy setup instructions. It is a must though not to setup your scaffolding on soft ground such a mud, make sure you have a hard foundation, like dry ground to maintain the scaffolding to be level throughout your project. Sound like too much to tackle on your own, call your local roofing company for a free, no obligation inspection.
