I tend to agree as to the structural portions of the ladder. Not so much as to replacing screws with stainless steel or rotating the supports to get a better grip on the screws.
Mine was damaged in a foolish backing event and I took made a repair that was less than satisfactory. The ladder may have been ok for use but it felt wrong and I cut off the damaged portion that curved over to the roof. This left the vertical portion which I only climb part way to attach a weathervane as decoration if staying put for any length of time.
I use a regular ladder if I need to access the roof. BTW, on the bosses orders, I only do that if there is someone to spot me.
