Question Help with hill-shielded antenna

I live in the shadow of hills that block line of sight to San Francisco broadcast towers. From what I've seen it looks very unlikely I can pickup a signal. But I'm hoping anyway.

Here is my signal analysis link:

I am interested primarily in picking up ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS stations. Broadcast 7, 12, 29 and 30. There are a couple alternatives for PBS. I just chose the one I'm most familiar with and off the same broadcast tower as 7 and 29.

My first choice would be to find a contractor with experience near where I live in the hill shadows. I have been trying but no luck so far in finding someone.

My second choice is to try it myself -- trial and error by an amateur. I probably could do this, but I'm less sure. I am quite handy -- e.g. I've pulled cable throughout house from a central hub setup I installed. Running antenna coax to that hub will be easy.

Thanks for any advice and ideas.
