Mr. Handyman has been helping homeowners repair, maintain, and enhance their spaces for over 25 years! We are the one-stop solution for everything on your to-do list. This includes answering your questions about home repairs, maintenance, and improvements. Here are answers to some of your most frequently asked questions about attic services.
We recommend inspecting your attic door at least twice a year. While the timing doesn’t matter as much, it may be better to follow the DIY maintenance check in the cooler fall and spring months before extreme temperatures kick in. Regular inspections help catch problems like insulation leaks, loose hinges, or drafts that may point to bigger issues you want to address before they potentially become serious.
You might notice you’re having difficulty opening or closing your attic door. With visible gaps around the door seal, the insulation won’t be as tight, and you’ll feel drafts coming from the attic. You may also hear creaking noises, notice damaged insulation, or smell odd smells coming from above. If you notice any of these signs, contact a trusted service professional as soon as possible for an attic door repair.
While it’s possible to install an attic door yourself, we don’t recommend it. Hiring a service professional with years of experience and training on the latest techniques ensures a secure installation. A local service professional will also know about the local building code and ensure the proper sizing, location, and installation meet the required standards.
If you are trying the DIY route, it’s best to hand over the installation when your new attic door requires ceiling joists to be altered or reinforced, your attic space is difficult to access, requires a custom-size door, or has tight clearances.
The duration of the attic door installation depends on the size of the job. However, if you’re just installing a single front attic door, it can typically be done in under four hours. For a more complex attic door, the process could take a few working days.
The best attic door materials are typically wood or composite. Wood is the most popular choice because it offers good insulation, while composite is a very durable alternative. The right choice for your home will depend on your installation needs, budget, and design. A trusted should talk you through the different options to help you choose the best one for your home.
No. Since attics are typically left unfinished, attic doors should be kept closed to prevent your heat or air conditioning from escaping into the attic and increasing your energy bills.
Insulation methods will vary on a case-by-case basis. Generally, rigid foam board that is two inches thick is a good option for a walk-in attic door insulation since it can be secured in place, doesn’t itch if it touches your skin when you enter and exit, and can easily be cut to the perfect size. Rubber or foam weather stripping should be used along the edges to seal drafts.
