Expert Stairlift Installation in Arlington, TX

Straight rails are 2-4 hours on-site. We arrive, verify measurements, bolt the rail into the stair treads, mount the chair, test every safety sensor, and walk you through the remotes. Curved rails take 1-2 weeks for the scan and fabrication, but install day is still usually under 4 hours. No overnight workers, no multi-day mess, no drywall dust.

Yes, and this is probably the single most common install we do in Arlington. The 1960s and 1970s split-level ranches in North Arlington almost always have a mid-landing with a 90° turn. We digitally scan the staircase during the first consultation, fabricate a curved rail that carries you from the foyer to the upper bedrooms in one continuous ride, and add a swivel-exit seat at the top so you step off onto the hallway floor instead of the top tread. One ride, zero transfers.

Not with our spec. South-facing Arlington stairwells regularly exceed 100°F in July and August — the same temperatures that kill factory batteries and thin standard lubricants. Every Arlington install ships with a high-temperature synthetic lubricant rated to 140°F, UV-stabilized seat upholstery, and a heat-rated battery backup. This is baseline, not an upgrade.

A stairlift plugs into a standard 120V outlet — no permit for the plug-in. If your home needs a new dedicated circuit (common in 1960s ranches with undersized panels), that work must be done by a TDLR-licensed Master Electrician, and we pull the city electrical permit through the Arlington Building Department on your behalf. We handle both — you don't call a separate electrician.

Yes, through the STAR+PLUS Home and Community-Based Services waiver. Stairlifts qualify as minor home modifications. Eligibility requires Texas residency, age 65+ or adult with disability, Medicaid financial eligibility, and an assessment at nursing-facility level of care. Your MCO service coordinator — Amerigroup, Molina, Superior, UnitedHealthcare, or Cigna-HealthSpring — approves the modification and pays us directly. Call HHSC at 1-800-964-2777 to start. We handle the authorization paperwork.

Arlington's veteran population is one of the highest in the DFW metro, and the Dallas VA Medical Center at 4500 S. Lancaster Rd is 25 minutes north on I-30. The VA HISA grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected disabilities and up to $2,000 for non-service-connected, paid directly to us after a prescription from a VA North Texas provider. We prefill VA Form 10-0103 and work directly with the HISA coordinator at the Dallas VA. Texas also offers 100% disabled veterans a full property-tax exemption on the primary residence — many families apply the annual savings toward the stairlift.

Texas has no state income tax, but the federal deduction applies. If a licensed Texas 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 federal taxable income — usually worth $600-$2,400 back depending on your bracket. Our office walks you through whether itemizing makes sense for your 2026 return.

Yes — three lending partners with 0% APR for qualified buyers and low fixed-rate plans from $79/month. Application is a soft credit pull (no hit to your score), takes about 4 minutes, and approval is usually instant. Many Arlington families combine financing with the IRS medical deduction or a partial HISA grant to bring the monthly payment down further. We walk you through the math during the free assessment.
