This is how I lifted my tower from horizontal to vertical: I parked my jeep in
the driveway, which is on the opposite side of the house from the tower (in the
backyard). I pulled my Jeep's winch cable up and over the roof and down to the
top of the tower where it was attached with a nylon sling. On the peak of the
roof I built an X frame out of 2x6's with a roller on it for the cable to go
over so it didn't dig into the shingles. A friend operated the winch via my
commands on an HT from the backyard. It worked perfectly.
When there's a will, there's a way!

My suggestion was the rope over the roof as a sky hook, for a block and
tackle rig that did the lifting. Otherwise, there will be damage to the
rope, the roof, and a bad situation with a lifting crew or worse yet a
vehicle out of sight of the tower!
