Abstract
A guard for the upper end of a ladder side rail telescopes over said upper end to prevent the surface against which the ladder rests from being marred. The guard includes a rigid body and a resilient pad removably affixed to the body. The resilient pad engages the surface for preventing said marring. The resilient pad is replaceable as it loses its resiliency or otherwise wears out so that the entire guard does not have to be replaced, whereby the effectivity, usefulness and cost effectiveness of the guard is enhanced.
