Many customers handle this themselves—here's how.
Installing an attic lift, overhead storage lift, or attic ladder is straightforward work for any handyman or general contractor comfortable with basic carpentry and electrical connections. You don't need a specialist—this is a common garage or home improvement project.
Good places to find installers:
When you contact a potential installer, let them know:
If your installer has questions during the job, they're welcome to call us at 800-948-7780 for technical support—no charge.
Gather these details before getting quotes—it helps contractors give you accurate estimates. Select your product type:
Attic Lifts (Cargo Elevators)
Attic Ladders & Motorized Stairways
Overhead Storage Lifts (Platform Lifts)
Tip: You can text photos to us at 800-948-7780 if you'd like help with product selection before purchasing.
If you'd rather not make the calls yourself, our Installation Coordination Service ($125) handles the search on your behalf:
What kind of contractor should I look for?
A general handyman or carpenter is fine for most installations. You don't need someone who specializes in lifts or ladders—the work involves standard framing and basic electrical.
How much does installation typically cost?
Labor costs vary by region and project complexity, but most installations run $700–$1800 for a straightforward job. Get a few quotes to compare.

Absolutely. We're happy to provide technical support at no charge—just have them call 800-948-7780.
Do I need to have purchased my equipment yet?
