I'm looking for recommendations on ladders that can be safely used on stairs. Specifically, I want to face the stairs while working. I've been considering the Little Giant ladder—do you think it's a good option, or should I look at something else? Any advice would be appreciated!

For stairwork, those multi-position ladders like the Little Giant are great because you can adjust them to fit the steps. And if you need a flatter surface, you're right, you can always build a small platform out of scrap wood. Just be sure it's strong enough and that someone is holding the ladder to keep everything safe.
The Little Giant is definitely a solid choice! Those types of ladders are made for uneven surfaces, including stairs. Just remember to have a reliable person hold the ladder to prevent any slips while you're up there. Safety first!
I also recommend the Little Giant for stair use—it’s super versatile! Just ensure you’ve got someone sturdy holding it at the bottom for extra stability. If you want another option, my stepdad has a Gorilla ladder that works really well too. It's all about making sure it's secure while you're working!
