Ladders - The 3 Main Ladders I use Mostly for Interior Painting

When it comes to running my painting business the 3 main ladders I use are a 5-foot step ladder, a 16-foot and a 20-foot extension ladder. These 3 ladders get most of my work done.

My wooden 5' step ladder is just right for cutting in along 8-ft ceilings. I have a 6-foot aluminum step ladder also for 9' and 10-foot ceilings. I also have an adjustable aluminum ladder that folds all kinds of different shapes including it turns into an 8-foot step ladder. I guess I have more ladders that I thought.

My 16-foot extension ladder I bought at a garage sale for only $15. It works well for painting in stairwells. I also have a 20-ft aluminum extension ladder that ny dad bought me when I first started painting. It comes in handy for interior high work as well as outside painting jobs.

I have some 24' ladders but I don't use them as much because I stay away from high work. I like painting on the one-story ranch style homes the best and that are well shaded as well.
