Expert Stairlift Installation in Andrews, TX

Straight rails take 2-4 hours on-site. We arrive, confirm the laser measurements, bolt the rail into the stair treads, mount the chair, test every safety sensor, and walk you through the remotes. Curved rails take longer to manufacture — 1-2 weeks for the digital scan and fabrication — but install day is still usually under 4 hours. No overnight workers, no multi-day disruption.

Every Andrews install ships with high-heat lubricant rated to 140°F operating temperature — standard, not an upgrade. West-facing interior stairwells in Andrews County regularly hit 130°F in summer, and sun-baked outdoor steps reach 150°F surface temperature by July. We also spec UV-stabilized seat upholstery rated for 2,000+ hours of direct sun exposure. The sealed motor housing keeps out the dust and sand that blow through every spring. Baseline specs on every Andrews install.

Yes. The split-levels on the Northwest Side near the Andrews County Golf Course almost always have a mid-landing with a 90-degree turn between floors. We digitally scan the staircase on the first visit, fabricate a curved rail that carries you from the entry to the upper bedrooms in one continuous ride, and add a swivel-exit seat at the top. One ride, zero transfers. This is our most common curved install in Andrews.

No. Texas follows the IRC, which treats stairlifts as equipment rather than structural modifications. No Texas municipality we work in requires a building permit for a standard stairlift install. If a dedicated electrical circuit is needed — sometimes the case in 1950s homes with original 60-amp service — our TDLR-licensed electrician pulls the electrical permit through the Andrews building department. We handle all of it.

Andrews' 23.4% veteran population makes HISA our busiest funding path in Andrews County. The grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected disabilities and up to $2,000 for non-service-connected, paid directly to us. Your nearest VA facility is the George H. O'Brien, Jr. VA Medical Center at 300 Veterans Boulevard, Big Spring (West Texas VA Health Care System), about 85 miles east on Highway 176. Get a prescription from your VA provider, and we prefill VA Form 10-0103 the same week. The Andrews County Veterans Service Officer at the courthouse can also help you start the process.

Yes, through the STAR+PLUS Home and Community-Based Services waiver. Stairlifts qualify as minor home modifications approved by your MCO service coordinator. You must be a Texas resident, age 65+ or adult with disability, financially eligible for Texas Medicaid, and assessed at nursing-facility level of care. We are an enrolled STAR+PLUS provider contracted with Amerigroup, Molina, Superior, UnitedHealthcare, and Cigna-HealthSpring. Call HHSC at 1-800-964-2777 to get your MCO service coordinator assigned, name us, and we handle the authorization paperwork.

Yes. Under the federal Fair Housing Act (42 USC 3604(f)(3)(A)), landlords must allow tenants with disabilities to make reasonable accessibility modifications at the tenant's expense — including stairlift installation — and cannot refuse or charge higher rent for the modification. If you're a renter in Andrews, your landlord must provide written permission when requested. We handle the removal and tread restoration when you move out. The Texas Workforce Commission Civil Rights Division at 1-888-452-4778 can answer questions about your rights.

Texas has no state income tax, so the deduction is federal only. If a licensed physician recommends the stairlift in writing (we provide the letter template), the IRS classifies it as a qualified medical expense under Schedule A. For households that itemize, the full installation cost reduces taxable income. Additionally, 100% service-connected disabled veterans in Texas pay zero property tax on their primary residence under the Texas Homestead Exemption — many families apply those annual savings toward the stairlift cost.
