Attic Ladder and Attic Hatch Repair in Phoenix

The pull-down ladder that's broken a spring, the hatch that leaks hot air, the access that's too small. Repaired, replaced or added.

Attic access in a Phoenix house matters in summer because the attic can hit 140 degrees and every gap in the hatch pulls that air into the hallway. A pull-down ladder with a broken spring or a cracked step is a fall waiting to happen. We repair and replace ladders, seal and insulate hatches, and cut in access where there's none.

Ladders

Springs, hinges and steps on a pull-down ladder wear out. Parts are available for most. A ladder that's bent or whose frame has pulled from the ceiling gets replaced with a new unit in the same opening, screwed to the framing and trimmed.

Hatches

A plain hatch gets weatherstripping around the opening and insulation on the back so it stops leaking heat. A hatch in a closet that's too small to use gets enlarged where the framing allows.

Adding access

A house with no attic access, or access in the garage only, can get a hatch or a ladder cut in where the ceiling framing allows.

Questions

Why is my hallway hot under the attic hatch?
Usually the hatch isn't sealed or insulated. Weatherstripping and an insulated cover fix it.
