Expert Stairlift Installation in Arvin, CA

We live in a two-story stucco on Walnut Drive my parents built in 1978. The hardwood-over-concrete stairs are steep and my mother's knees gave out last year. Two other companies quoted over $7,000 for a straight rail. All American installed the same quality system for $3,900 and Luis walked my mother through every button in Spanish at the kitchen table. She rides it eight times a day.

I served 24 years in the Army and my back is shot. The Bakersfield VA Clinic on Westwind Drive wrote the HISA prescription and All American prefilled every form. The grant covered $6,800 and I was riding the curved lift five weeks after my first call. No runaround, no paperwork on my end at the kitchen table.

Our 1960s duplex on South Derby Street has stone-tile entry stairs and a wooden cabinet pressed against the wall. Another company said a lift wouldn't fit. Luis brought a slim rail that drilled into the tile without cracking it and folds to 11 inches. My father-in-law rides it morning and night and the grandkids walk right past it on the other side.

The outdoor lift on our flagstone front porch handles the summer heat without any issues. It was 108 degrees last August and the seat, rail, and motor worked perfectly. The UV-stabilized upholstery hasn't faded after six months of Central Valley sun. My mother uses it every afternoon to sit on the porch with her neighbors on Comanche Drive.

Mi abuela only speaks Spanish and I was worried she wouldn't understand the controls. Luis came out, spoke with her in Spanish the entire visit, measured the carpeted ranch staircase off Haven Drive, and left a Spanish-language manual taped next to the wall switch. She calls it su elevador and uses it ten times a day. The crew cleaned up everything before they left.

My husband uses a power wheelchair full-time after a workplace injury and a regular stairlift was never going to work. All American installed an inclined platform along our indoor stairs off Campus Drive with yellow safety edges. The Medi-Cal HCBA Waiver covered the full cost. He rides between floors without leaving his chair.
