What Is Included
Ceiling joist spacing verification and rough opening site selection
Drywall ceiling cut to the correct rough opening dimensions
Header framing between joists to create a fully framed and squared opening
Attic stair unit lift and installation into the rough opening
Unit fastening to all four sides of the rough opening framing
Stair leg adjustment so the ladder sits flat on the floor at the correct extension
Full range of motion test and load test before trim work
When to Call
Attic access is currently a scuttle hatch requiring a ladder -- no folding stairs exist
Existing pull-down stairs that wobble, do not fold correctly, or have a damaged stringer
Attic stair unit that is too short for the ceiling height -- legs do not reach the floor
Missing or broken hardware on an existing unit making it unsafe to use
Rough opening framing that was cut without proper headers -- the ceiling is sagging around the hatch
What Affects the Cost
Every job is different. Here is what determines the cost:
Whether a new opening needs to be cut versus replacing an existing unit in an existing opening
Ceiling height -- taller ceilings require longer units and more complex leg adjustment
Ceiling material -- drywall versus plaster versus textured ceiling each require different cutting approaches
Whether trim work and finish painting around the new opening is included
