Once we arrive at your property and review the attic access, we’ll give you a few different options for your repair or installation.

Attic Ladder Repair, Installation, and Replacement

Folding attic ladders have many moving parts. Since they aren’t used often, these parts can corrode and stiffen up. In some cases, a simple tune-up will get your attic ladder back in action. If not, we’ll need to replace parts like springs or roller bearings. If the ladder is beyond the point of repair, we’re happy to source a replacement and install it for you.

Finally, if you don’t have a ladder at all, count on Mr. Handyman for sturdy attic ladder installation.
