‘Tis the season for climbing on your roof.

Lowe’s has a handyladder buying guidethat will help guide you through the process.

Aluminum ladders are more slightly more expensive than wood but they are strong, lightweight and resist corrosion.

They will conduct electricity, so do not use when working near power lines.

Fiberglass ladders are nonconductive and are the safest bet when working near electricity.

They offer great value and are very strong.
