Attic stairs, sometimes called attic ladders, make accessing your attic easier and safer. If you don’t have permanent attic stairs installed, you probably find yourself lugging a ladder you bought at a hardware store back and forth to your attic opening. This kind of hassle causes many homeowners to ignore the useful space in their attics. When you have a permanently installed set of attic stairs, you can easily use your attic for storage, freeing up space in your closets, basement, and garage. Unfortunately, installing pull-down attic stairs is a complex job that is best left to a professional handyman. My Handyman of Dover, Portsmouth, and Rochester performs attic stairs and door installation services in Dover, Portsmouth, and Rochester, New Hampshire.

Understanding The Different Types Of Attic Stairs
When installing attic stairs and doors, you have a few different options, from pull-down attic stairs to telescoping attic stairs. When homeowners set out to install attic stairs, they often don’t realize the advantages of each type of attic stair. Some of the most common attic stairs include:
- Folding Attic Stairs – One of the most common set-ups, these stairs pull down from your attic opening and unfold in several sections until they reach the floor.
- Telescoping Attic Stairs – If you are dealing with a tight space, telescoping attic stairs may be your best option. They pull down like folding attic stairs, but the ladder section will extend down to the floor in sliding sections instead of folding at hinged segments.
- Scissor-Style Attic Stairs – One of the most advanced options, these stairs fold in an accordion fashion, which allows them to fit in a wide range of attic shapes and sizes.
