I can and will do a lot of things myself, but I don't like ladders. I have a couple, but I don't like them. I'm not afraid of falling, but it's that sudden stop at the end that has me wary. I had a boss once that LOVED to play golf. He was also kinda frugal. He decided one day that he was going to clean out his gutters or paint them or something like that, so he got his ladder out and proceeded to do the job. He fell off the ladder and broke his shoulder and as a result could no longer play golf. Some times it's not just about the money. If you have been climbing around on roofs and crawling around in attics most of your life and are very secure in doing that sort of thing, I say, "Go for it". If you aren't experienced with this sort of thing, write a check to the folks that do have the experience.
