Ceiling Attic Access
Your typical ceiling attic access hole. It's
usually located in one of the hallways or in one of the closets.
I have seen attic access openings in every room of the house, and the
more home inspections you do or estimating as a building contractor,
like I have been doing for so many years you will see these attic access
openings in some of the most peculiar places you could imagine.
Some of these attic access openings have lights for the attic, simply
open the access lid and look around for a light switch. The light switch
is normally with in an arm's length away from the opening.
If you run across any damaged ceiling attic access lids, they can be
replaced with a painted piece of plywood to match the ceiling. This is
not a difficult job and it is relatively inexpensive to replace one of
these access covers.
Most of these access lids are made from drywall and
can be replaced with a new piece of drywall and in a situation like the
picture above, the drywall attic access lid could be sprayed with
acoustic ceiling texture and then replaced to match almost perfectly.
