Handyman Job Pricing and Estimates
Assuming you have bought a folding staircase which can be installed on the ceiling in the garage or on the ceiling of a hallway I would estimate that it would take a full day to install it. At $50-hr it comes to $400 for the labor and about $25 for additional materials.
It should take no more than 4 hours to do this. I charge $60-hr or $240.
Maybe 4 hours just to install the stairs but it sounds like the first guy is customizing the size . $425 sounds about right.
Assuming the ceiling un the garage already has the access cut out then an hour or less and cost would be $100.
I’ve done 3 this year. 2 were removal of old stairs and install new- I charged $220
And one was just an install, no removal for $175
Not easy for one man to do, but doable.

$250 is a fair price, I’m asking.
