We use a 28ft ext the most, but we also have smaller and larger ones. Does anyone have a louisville pro top ladder? I just purchased one and cant wait to use it!! If anyone has one whats your opinion on it? Does the tray get in the way while doing some work?

A 16' ext ladder will get you 12' to the top and maybe 14' reaching.
A two-story home is typically 16+ feet to the soffits.

You don't do many service changes, do you?

I think a 28ft is a must for me. 32 is too heavy to be moving around.
