I'm not really sure what it is that you are trying to do.  You mention the 
hamstick collinear in the same paragraph with beam antennas and having to 
rip the roof off.  I know the winters up there get cold so put the brain on 
defrost and lay it out more logical.  I presume (assume) that by roof you 
are trying to tell us that you need to re-roof the house and don't want to 
put anything up on the roof.

What is it that want to do?  Are you wanting to work FM and/or SSB and on 
which bands?  There are too many variables and options to come up with any 
reasonable response to this.  And as for running 1KW on V/UHF ... buddy ... 
you better go look at the guidelines/rules for RF exposure.
