Attic Stairs Installation in Derwood, MD

A lot of Derwood houses keep their attic hatch inside a bedroom closet, which is the one spot in the house where a folding ladder can't open.

Call (301) 395-3831

Moving attic access out of a closet and into a hallway means framing a new opening and closing the old one. Both halves belong to the job: the new hole gets headered and the unit hung square, and the old hole gets patched so nothing shows.

What Affects the Cost of Attic Stairs Installation in Derwood, MD

No prices appear on this page because every job is different. Relocating access takes more than swapping a unit in place, and it's usually worth it. There are two ceilings to open and close instead of one, and the new spot has to be checked against wiring, ducts and anything else running through that bay. Where the hatch already sits out in a hall, most of that disappears from the scope.

Frequently Asked Questions

That's one of the most common reasons people call us about this. A closet gives a ladder nowhere to land, so you end up on a stepstool passing boxes over your head. Moving the access means finding a bay in the hall with nothing running through it, framing there, and filling the old hole. Both ceilings come back patched, primed and ready for paint.

Some, and most of it is controllable. We tape plastic across the doorways nearest the work, put a sheet down under the cut, and vacuum the edge as the piece comes free. What catches people out is the attic side: loose insulation and forty years of grit sit on top of that ceiling and want to come down with the cut. Bagging that first is part of the job.
