Expert Stairlift Installation in Commerce City, CO

Straight rails in Reunion and Belle Creek two-stories are 2 to 4 hours on-site — wide stairs, modern construction, no surprises. Adams City mid-century ranches with narrow treads and custom bracket spacing can take 4 to 5 hours. Curved rails for Adams City and Derby homes with landing turns take 10 to 14 days to fabricate after the laser scan, but install day is still usually under 4 hours. Outdoor lifts on raised entries in Adams City and Irondale can take a full day because of masonry anchoring into original concrete.

Yes. The 1940s and 1950s homes in Adams City were built to pre-code or early-code standards, and 28-inch-wide staircases are common. We use a slim-profile rail with offset brackets that preserve maximum clear passage on the open side, and the seat folds tight against the wall when not in use. We have installed in Adams City staircases as narrow as 27 inches — the laser scan captures the exact geometry, and the bracket spacing is customized to the house, not to a standard template.

Commerce City sits at roughly 5,150 feet, and thin air at altitude degrades standard sealed lead-acid battery capacity by 15 to 30% relative to sea level. That is why every Commerce City install — straight, curved, outdoor — ships with a lithium cell rated for altitude as a baseline, not an upgrade. The lithium battery also handles the extreme UV exposure and the temperature swings that kill off-the-shelf cells in two seasons on the Front Range. It is standard on every Adams County install.

Usually among the fastest we do. The post-2005 Reunion homes have wide, straight staircases with 14 to 16 treads, level subfloor, and modern framing that takes the mounting bolts cleanly. No settlement, no pre-code geometry, no preservation concerns. Most Reunion straight-rail installs are 3 to 3.5 hours from arrival to final walkthrough. If you need the lift working before a hospital discharge from UCHealth Anschutz or the Rocky Mountain VA, we can often measure and install within the same week.

Yes, through the Colorado Elderly, Blind and Disabled (EBD) Waiver, administered by the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy & Financing (HCPF). The EBD Waiver covers stairlifts as home modifications under a $14,000 lifetime cap. Eligibility requires Colorado residency, age 65+ or 18–64 with blindness or physical disability, Health First Colorado (Colorado Medicaid) financial eligibility, and assessment at nursing-facility level of care. The entry point is your county’s Single Entry Point (SEP) agency — for Adams County, that’s the Adams County SEP. We coordinate the modification justification paperwork with your SEP case manager. HCPF: 303-866-2993.

Buckley Space Force Base in adjacent Aurora supports tens of thousands of retirees, veterans, and dependents — many of whom live in northern Commerce City, Reunion, and Brighton. The VA HISA grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected disabilities and up to $2,000 for non-service-connected — one-time, not a loan. You need a prescription from your VA provider at the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center in Aurora and VA Form 10-0103, which we prefill for you. Typical turnaround from prescription to approved payment is 4 to 8 weeks. Rocky Mountain Regional VAMC: 303-399-8020.

If a licensed physician recommends the stairlift in writing for a specific medical condition — we provide the letter template — the IRS classifies it as a qualified medical expense under Schedule A on your federal return. Colorado conforms to the federal treatment on state returns. The savings are usually worth $600 to $2,400 depending on your bracket — you must itemize. Separately, Colorado’s Senior Homestead Property Tax Exemption exempts 50% of the first $200,000 of primary residence value for homeowners 65+ who have lived in their Colorado home for 10+ consecutive years — the annual savings help offset stairlift out-of-pocket costs. File with the Adams County Assessor.

Yes. Three lending partners with 0% APR for qualified buyers and low fixed-rate plans starting around $79/month for a standard straight rail. Application is a soft credit pull — no hit to your score — takes about 4 minutes, and approval is usually instant. Many Commerce City families combine financing with the federal medical deduction or a partial HISA grant to bring the effective monthly payment well below $100.
