As an electrician I would disconnect the power company's overhead conductors
from the conductors running down the side of the house while they are HOT.
I would replace and fix everything necessary from the point of attachment on
the house down to the main panel. I would then reconnect the overhead
conductors to the conductors on the house while they are HOT. Depending on
the power company here in NJ they would either do nothing or come out to
inspect and then send their own crew to reconnect to their own standards.
It is rare that the overhead conductors would ever be disconnected at the
transformer so that they would be dead when being connected to the service
conductors running down the house.

That is because this work is usually done by a qualified professional.

Yeah, but is the guy who ask the question a qualified and experienced
electrician? You and I might work this HOT!!, but he probably doesn't need
too.

It seems like it would be easier to take a high powered rifle, blow a
hole in the transformer and before the electric company replaces the
transformer, fix your wires without any power going to them.
If you peneterate the transformer core windings with your shot, you
will get quite an exciting fireworks display. Dont forget to tell
them about the kid that you almost caught when he was shooting in the
alley.
