Safe, sturdy, professionally installed attic access — the right ladder, framed to your ceiling and fastened to code, with your old one removed and hauled away.

DIY vs. Professional
You can buy an attic ladder off the shelf at any home-improvement store — but the box doesn't cut the opening, reinforce the framing, or hang 40+ pounds of ladder squarely in your ceiling. Get any of that wrong and you're left with a ladder that racks, sags, sticks, or worse: a fall hazard over an unframed hole in the ceiling.
Professional installation takes the guesswork out. We confirm the rough opening and joist layout, frame and reinforce it correctly, mount the ladder plumb and square, fasten it to the structure to code, and check that it opens, folds, and holds weight the way it should. You get safe, solid attic access — and a workmanship warranty behind it.
What We Install
We fit the ladder to your home, your ceiling height, and how you'll use the attic — and recommend the right material and style during the free assessment. Here are the options we install most.
The classic choice — warm looking, quiet underfoot, and it blends into the ceiling when folded up.
Lightweight and easy to pull down and fold up — rust-resistant and virtually maintenance-free.
The heavy-duty pick — the highest weight capacity and the most secure, rigid feel for frequent access.
A compact aluminum ladder that collapses tight — ideal for small or awkward ceiling openings.
Time for a Replacement?
An old or damaged attic ladder is one of the most common — and most overlooked — fall risks in the home. If you notice any of these, it's time to replace it.
It wobbles or feels unstable
Sway, flex, or rattle when you climb means the ladder or its mounting has worked loose — a real fall risk.
Cracked, split, or warped wood
Splits along the rails or rungs, or a ladder that no longer sits flush, mean the structure is compromised.
Bent rails or rungs
Any bend or deformation in the metal is a sign the ladder has been overloaded or damaged.
Loose hinges or hardware
Hinges pulling away from the ceiling, or missing screws and springs, mean it's no longer safely anchored.
Hard to open or close
Worn springs that make the ladder slam down or hard to fold up wear out fast — and pinch fingers.
Too short or under-rated
A ladder that doesn't reach the floor cleanly, or isn't rated for your weight, was never sized right.
How We Work
A safe ladder is as much about the opening and the framing as it is about the ladder itself. Here's how we approach every install.
We measure your ceiling opening and height, check the joist layout and attic clearance, and recommend the right ladder type and size for how you'll use the space.
If you're replacing, we safely take out the existing ladder or attic stairs and haul the old unit away — no debris left behind.
We size or reinforce the rough opening and frame it correctly so the ladder mounts to solid structure — not just drywall.
We mount the ladder plumb and square, fasten it to the framing to code, and adjust the legs so it lands flush and level on the floor.
We confirm it opens, folds, and holds weight smoothly, clean up, and show you how to operate and maintain it.
Why Attic Pros
Serving residential and commercial clients for over 13 years, we handle the whole job — assessment, framing, installation, and haul-away — and stand behind our work with a workmanship warranty.
Real Customers, Real Results
Rodent intrusion and the associated damage they cause is the worst! After reading reviews, I decided on Attic Pros because they have great reviews and because they specialize in the work I needed. I was not disappointed. Within a few days of reaching out, Tom came out and did the estimate. The work began only two business days later! The work was scheduled over two days but they did it all in one! The guys arrived on time and were cheerful, polite, and pleasant to deal with. Kevin showed me pictures and video periodically throughout the day so I could see the work, start to finish. He answered all of my questions and explained everything clearly and patiently. Before they left they made sure there was no trash or debris left behind. The crawl space now looks like it belongs under a brand new home, it’s that clean and tidy. I highly recommend Attic Pros for all of your insulation and rodent elimination needs. Update: I came back and edited this, removing a star. The work and workers were great. However, a few days after the job, Julian from their business office messaged me that they had not received payment and the invoice was past due, even though they were paid IN FULL THE DAY OF WORK. Proof of payment was provided and he messaged me that a receipt would be sent when the payment was deposited. Very disappointing and unprofessional of him to go after a customer for payment when the problem lies with their accounts receivable. 10/14/26 I am adding to my review because issues had been discovered over time. They had missed a place where rats were entering, even though they had been out twice to check traps and found some. This guy did a less than thorough cleaning but he did close off the previously missed access point. My rat intrusion problem has been ongoing. 11/6/26 Attic Pros followed through and sent out Raul, an excellent worker, who took care of everything and made it right. While it may have been problematic for a bit, they kept working until it was all made right. They have been kind and communicative, specifically Paula. I will be calling them again in the Spring to work on a different area of my home.
Samim very professional
Did crawl space cleanup and rodent proofing. They were very efficient and thorough.
Samim was great and work very hard. We appreciate him very much.
Attic Pros did a great job with sealing up holes and gaps and installing mesh I would recommend them I had a good experience with them
UPDATE: I really appreciate the company followed up after my concerns were raised. They took accountability for what happened, handled the situation professionally, and offered to fix all the issues. Their responsiveness and willingness to make things right completely changed my impression, and I’m happy to update my review to 4 stars. They ultimately completed the job, but the overall experience was far from hassle-free. During the process, they damaged our ceiling and later repaired it, though the result was not fully satisfactory. There were multiple mistakes along the way, both in the actual work and in billing, which meant we had to stay very involved to ensure nothing was missed. Communication was also a challenge. Our consultant, Tom, was not as responsive as expected, especially given how busy schedules can be in the Bay Area. We often had to follow up multiple times to get updates or have issues addressed. Overall, while the job was eventually finished, the process required more oversight and effort than it should have. If I were to go through this again, I would choose a different company.
