Tim "the toolman" Miller also did ours in 2011 and his installation also included plywood flooring around the opening so you can put quite a few boxes, suit cases, etc up in the attic. He will not do insulation, so if you want that, put some batts down yourself before Tim arrives. When he did ours, his price was $190 for wood steps or $290 for aluminum, both included installation and attic flooring.

Tim will also will do a lot of other jobs. He completely doubled the size of our master walk-in closet. He took the existing wire shelving and lowered them about a foot and installed a second duplicate set about 2 feet above the original level. So we have double the space, he provided all the shelving, patched and painted all the holes, everything was $150 and he even has his own helper. We had him also install cabinet pulls on all our kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors.

That's why this website is so valuable. Tim is usually booked up a week or two in advance, but since we knew our closing date, I called Tim from Baltimore and had him scheduled to do our house before we even moved in. We did this also with the painter, had the entire inside painted before our furniture arrived. For that, search Investment Painters, you will see hundreds of recommendations.
