A TexFix Success Story
Rick, a homeowner in San Antonio, had been relying on an old, wobbly attic ladder in his garage to access storage space. Over time, the unsafe ladder became a growing concern. Rick worried about the potential for injury and knew it was time for an upgrade.
That’s when he reached out to TexFix, the trusted handyman service in San Antonio, for help installing a safe and sturdy residential attic access ladder.

The Challenge
Rick’s existing attic ladder posed several challenges:
- Safety hazards — The old ladder was unstable and poorly secured, making it unsafe to use.
- Structural concerns — The ladder’s outdated installation had weakened the surrounding attic opening, requiring reinforcement.
- High ceilings — The garage’s ceiling was taller than standard, necessitating a ladder with the right height and stability for secure access.
The TexFix Solution
After assessing the situation, our team devised a plan to replace the unsafe ladder with a durable and reliable solution tailored to Rick’s needs.
Step 1: Removing The Old Ladder
We carefully dismantled the existing ladder, inspecting the attic opening for structural damage. The surrounding area needed reinforcement to ensure a secure and long-lasting installation for the new ladder.
Step 2: Selecting A New Ladder
Rick chose a high-quality aluminum residential attic access ladder, known for its durability, lightweight design and ease of use. The ladder’s extra height made it ideal for his taller garage ceiling, and its insulation features helped maintain the home’s energy efficiency.
Step 3: Reinforcing And Installing
Before installing the new ladder, we reinforced the attic opening to support frequent use. The ladder was then securely mounted, with every hinge, bolt and connection double-checked for stability and safety.
Step 4: Polished Finish
To complete the project, we added clean trim around the attic opening, giving Rick’s garage ceiling a professional, finished look.
The Result
In just a few hours, Rick’s garage was equipped with a safe and sturdy residential attic access ladder. He could now confidently access his attic for storage, knowing the ladder was secure and built to last.
