Due to a recent storm, I have had some of my caps of my clay tile roof either loosen up or come off my roof. What is the best way to go on to the roof as to not crack or break any of the tiles. The height doesn’t bother me, since I install satellite systems, but I don’t want to cause any more damage.

When I used to do tile work, we used regular ladders (1/2 of an extension ladder) hung from ridge hooks (which I believe can be obtained from Tool Crib) laying on roofer's foam (old sofa cushions). We'd often hang two ladders and put ladder jacks on them and run an aluminum walkboard between them. Then you could work on a large plane or the ridge between the ladders by moving the walkboard up and down the ladders. Now, when doing this we always had scaffolding below us to land on if something went wrong. Tile work is usually not a one man job. Check and see what the rental cost of an appropriately sized boom lift would be. They're not that expensive and they speed the job considerably, not to mention the extra safety margin.
Good Luck.
