Expert Stairlift Installation in Clovis, NM

Straight rails run 2 to 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 1 to 2 weeks for digital scanning and fabrication, but install day is still under 4 hours. No overnight workers, no multi-day disruptions.

Every Clovis install ships with dust-sealed motor housing, UV-rated lubricant for the drive system, and a hard-coat finish on the rail that resists abrasion from windblown particulates. Curry County averages over 300 sunny days a year and regular spring dust events — our specs handle it. Outdoor installs add an IP55-rated enclosure and a fitted cover for the seat when not in use. These are standard on every install, not add-ons.

Yes. Many of Clovis's post-war homes south of Main Street and near Hillcrest Park have staircases under 30 inches wide with steeper-than-standard pitch built during the Cannon AFB housing boom. We carry a slim-profile rail that takes up only 11 inches when the seat is folded, leaving enough passage for other household members. The steeper angle is handled by the motor's soft-start and soft-stop programming. We measure on the first visit and confirm clearance before quoting.

No. New Mexico classifies stairlifts as removable accessibility equipment rather than structural modifications, so no building permit is required from the City of Clovis or Curry County. If a dedicated electrical circuit is needed — common in older homes with original wiring — our licensed electrician pulls the electrical permit and handles it. We manage all paperwork.

The HISA grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected disabilities and up to $2,000 for non-service-connected, paid directly to us. Your entry point is the Clovis VA Clinic at 921 East Llano Estacado Boulevard, a CBOC under the Amarillo VA Health Care System. Get a prescription from your VA provider, and we prefill VA Form 10-0103 the same week. With 9% of Clovis residents being veterans, we process more HISA applications per capita here than almost anywhere in eastern New Mexico.

Yes. NM Centennial Care is the state's Medicaid managed care program, administered through Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Mexico and Presbyterian. Stairlifts qualify as home modifications when a physician documents medical necessity. Over 800,000 New Mexicans are enrolled. Contact your managed care organization or the NM Human Services Department at 1-888-997-2583 to confirm your eligibility. We handle the provider authorization paperwork once your plan approves the modification.

The Eastern Area Agency on Aging in Clovis connects seniors with programs that can offset home modification costs, including Centennial Care referrals, HISA assistance for Cannon AFB veterans, and Title III aging services. The Curry County Commission also coordinates with the New Mexico Aging and Long-Term Services Department for community-based support. Contact the Area Agency on Aging to find out what you qualify for — we work with their referrals regularly.

New Mexico does not tax Social Security income and has no state-level deduction specifically for medical equipment, but the IRS classifies a physician-recommended stairlift as a qualified medical expense under Schedule A on your federal return. If you itemize, the full installation cost reduces taxable income. We provide a physician letter template at your assessment so you have the documentation ready before install day.
