Residential Attic Stairs Installation Service in Portland, ME

The Residential Attic Stairs and Door Installation Experts

If your attic doesn’t have a ladder and door installed, it can be inconvenient to use it. That can be unfortunate because your attic provides valuable space for storage. By freeing up space in your closets, garage, and basement, you can effectively reduce unnecessary clutter in your home. To do that, you need an easy way to get into your attic. Using a standard ladder from a hardware store is a hassle and can even be dangerous in some situations. On the other hand, installing a permanent set of attic stairs is often a tough job when you try to do it on your own. Mr. Handyman of Greater Portland performs attic stairs installation services in Portland, Maine. We make attic door installation projects easy while ensuring they are correctly and safely installed.

What Type of Attic Stairs Should I Install?

Homeowners are often surprised when they learn that there are many different kinds of attic stairs. Mr. Handyman of Greater Portland can help you install any type of attic stairs you want, but it is helpful to understand your options ahead of time. Choosing the right kind can make you happier with the results of your residential attic stairs and door installation project. Some of the most common types of attic stairs include:
  • Folding Attic Stairs – This is one of the most popular kinds of attic stairs. This configuration will unfold into several sections (typically three or four) until it rests on the landing space beneath the attic.
  • Telescoping Attic Stairs – If you are limited in space around your attic opening, telescoping attic stairs are an ideal option. Instead of unfolding, these will slide open in sections, locking in place when they reach the ground.
  • Scissor-Style Attic Stairs – Scissor-style stairs look more advanced than any other option, but they have functional advantages too. This kind of stairs will expand like an accordion, making it great for limited space and small attic openings.

What Factors Affect the Attic Stairs I Can Install?

Certain factors will affect your options, like the height of your attic and the size of the opening. Many of these factors can affect the attic stairs installation costs. Mr. Handyman of Greater Portland will help you ensure that you select attic stairs and an attic door that works for your space. Once we have been able to inspect your space, we will explain the cost of installing an attic access door in your home. As you start looking for attic stairs, though, it is useful to consider the following:
