If you are able mount outside at 20' AGL, you may get enough signal to feed a passive 4Way splitter. However, if you find enough signal to directly feed the closest receiver with no splitter but can not deliver an acceptable signal to all sets with the loss of a splitter added, you will need to consider a mast mount amplifier such as the Winegard AP-8700. That is a medium gain amplifier that will easily overcome the losses of the splitter and cabling.
I would try the install without the amplifier first. In you situation, antenna gain is needed for sure. Amplifier gain may not be needed and if not, could make things worse.
Stay safe on the roof and ladder
