I agree, the proposed mounting location should be tested for reliable reception before committing to holes in any part of your house.
I have a tripod which is similar to most in that one leg bolt can be removed to allow the whole system to tilt over while maintaining control of the assembly. The top of the mast is roughly 12' above the roof peak and would be dangerous to service from any of my ladders. With the system tilted over (single-handedly) I have easy access to all the mast mounted hardware.
That said, I've used eve / gable mounts with great success. With the wall / eve brackets mounted below the height of the roof deck, a 10' mast section is short enough to service while standing on the roof, no ladder needed.
