We've only added two things so far, we placed non-slip sticker strips on each step, the steps were very slippery and bumper guards to protect our head.We have waited over a year to post a review. We cut a 5'x5' hole in the dining room ceiling and when the staircase arrived, it was very easy to install. My wife, educated in AutoCAD and design work, designed the plans. So my wife searched for a spiral staircase instead. The way the home was built would not allow for a staircase. of the attic and our, work from home, office space on the other and storage in the middle. We had thought that a pull down set of stairs would have be suffice, but I was really the only one that would go up and down them, except for the kids. We decided to expand our home to create an easier access to the unfinished attic space. Because of Covid, permitting was a real hassle not because of the stairs but because everything was closed, people were working from home and the County Reviewer was difficult to access & communicate with, creating a lot more work & help from Scott, which he never, ever seemed bothered by.Salter Stairs has a solid, strong product and excellent customer support. This meant more drawings, more than once and again, Scott was very helpful, always positive and didn't charge.

He was always very friendly/pleasant & helpful.Meanwhile, years passed & in 2020, I decided that since we were stuck at home anyway I would install the Stairs to replace some older stairs but this time it would require a Variance. was no longer an impediment and opted for that and didn't need the stairs.During the first two iterations, Scott never hesitated to provide drawings/ideas etc.at no cost. After a second design location was chosen we discovered that the impediment to extending the existing deck. We purchased galvanized stairs from Salter years ago when we were originally going to build a deck on top of our roof and required stairs that were 19' off the ground.
