Deans did ours last summer. It is so much easier and safer with the steps. They may not be the cheapest, but did a good job and finished with moulding and painted at the ceiling.

Very important when putting attic stairs in, maintain the fire proofing integrity of the sheetrock--same goes for the people who put garage ,solar powered exhaust fans in-- if a fire starts in your garage--the fan will suck flames into your attic---think before you leap

Tim did our garage attic stairs at the same time as our garage floor epoxy job. Great work on both! Oh, and be sure go with the aluminum stairs, too. Bit higher weight rating, but more I importantly, will endure the high attic temps better than wood. Costs a bit more, but worth it. Good luck!!

We did not put in stairs to the attic. In past homes we found them to be dangerous, not physically but they are an entrance to stored stuff that never reappears. We refer attics as the "black hole".

I agree, M&M has done 3 for us and does a great job---$250.

Seriously don't know what I'd do without both Jan and Bernie. Really grateful.

If I can suggest something: Be sure you have them lay at least 1/2 " to 5/8 " plywood, and not that flake wood, or pressed board in attic. (You want the floor solid) You will be thankful you did. Might be 5-10 bucks more for board, but worth it

I had them in my old house and found them unsteady. And putting boxes up there required a certain amount of strength I no longer have. I don't really have anything to put in my attic so for now it doesn't matter.
I thought when I do want to use that space I would install a block and tackle attached to a drawer smaller than the opening. I could load it up, pull it up and stand on a ladder to push it off.
