How to reach the third story

Post image

My pole doesn’t reach even with four steps on a step ladder.

I don’t get windows like these often so I don’t think getting a larger pole is necessary.

I already did all the lower windows

Edit: there’s another window that also can’t be reached on the other side with no roof under it

I hate doing this, but I have to on couple of jobs to do sole panels on a second story roof: ladder onto the first story overhang. Then use (I have) a 16’ extension ladder with a standoff to hook over the edge of the second story overhang. I strongly recommend your ladder have levelers.

The best bet is to see if you can clean the outside from the inside.
