“I got my hands on a Telesteps Extension ladder a couple months back. What a fantastic ladder! For something that is so compact, it is so sturdy when you have fully extended. I use it whenever and wherever I can, from getting into the attic, to up on the roof, or anywhere I need to get up high safely. You can’t beat the durability and the compact size of the Telesteps ladder. It is a must have for any tradesperson or homeowner. Looking forward to expanding my Telesteps ladder lineup.”
