What is the cost to have somebody install the ladder?

Answer This Question

I was able to get a carpenter in to do it for 350$. They replaced my existing attic ladder. It took two of them just under 2hrs. If you need more of a frame modification than I did, expect it to be more time and money.

    Louisville Ladder does not install these. You will have to ask the install salespeople at Home Depot what they charge.

          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Since you have a 24-inch-wide opening, the 25-1/2" x 54" will not fit. You need the smaller 22-1/2" x 54" attic stairway.

            All the mounting hardware comes with the attic stairway, except for the shims.

              My ceiling is 12' 4". Which model unit could I install? will this one accommodate with the leg extensions?
              ByFeb 16, 2026
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              No, this attic stairway will not fit 12'-4", this unit fits a maximum ceiling height of 12'-0". Louisville Ladder does not make an attic stairway that fits higher than 12'-0". Anything higher than 12'-0" is considered an industrial-type attic and you would need to find a company that makes those.

                  We finally installed this ladder after the rough inspection. The package is missing the rubber foot. The contractor said they were not in the box at all. Can you mail them to me?

                    Bought this for a new construction project. it did not come with the rubber footings at the end of the ladder. My General Contractor says they tried to find the rubber foot in the box but there was none. I tried to ask the company if they could mail me the missing part and there was no reply. I am now searching online where i can buy the missing rubber feet! It costs 40 a pair ! scam ! scam ! scam !

                      One side railing broke off within a couple days of use. Complete waste of $600+.

                        Excellent ladder - exactly what I needed for this project. Product description is accurate, installation instructions and materials are spot on. The was a relatively easy half a day project. You can't beat this ladder for the price.

                        Great attic ladder that is built well. This ladder is constructed of aluminum and folds evenly

                        Not very good replacement.
                        The wood backing is falling apart, alittle over a year after purchase. Would definitely NOT buy again. Keep shopping

                          Good ladder. Cheap parts.
                          Bought 2 of this and the ladder is fine, but the lag bolts that are included are terrible. 3 of them snapped during installation.

                            Don’t Install it Outside
                            Put this up without any problems. I’m 240 pounds and it felt solid so I was initially impressed. I planned to paint the masonite the next day, however, when I went into the carport the following morning I noticed that the masonite has completely warped. Nowhere on the box, or website, does it say interior installation only. So, I definitely wouldn’t recommend installing this ladder in a garage or carport.
