About Rio Arriba County
County-wide stairlift service from Tierra Amarilla to the Chama Valley
Rio Arriba reaches from the high-desert mesas around Española up into the Chama River high country and the San Juan Mountains, with Tierra Amarilla as the county seat. Many homes here are split-level adobes, two-story farmhouses or steep mountain builds along US-84/285 and the High Road. Snow, ice and long drives between villages make a single county-wide installer the practical choice — we carry the right rail for each staircase the first trip.
We cover the whole county on one flat schedule, so a home in Chama or Truchas pays no more than one in Española. We work with seniors aging in place and with veterans, and we serve neighbors on Ohkay Owingeh, Santa Clara Pueblo and near the Jicarilla Apache Nation at Dulce with the same respect and on-site care.

Rio Arriba County stairlift questions answered
Straight answers from a crew that installs across Rio Arriba County every week.
How much does a stairlift cost in Rio Arriba County?
A straight stairlift starts at $2,800 installed. Curved staircases, which need a custom rail, run about $9,000. An outdoor lift for a porch or entry is around $4,000, and a heavy-duty model averages $5,050. We quote the exact price after a free in-home assessment, and financing is available from $79 per month so the upfront cost is manageable.
Do you really serve the small villages, not just Española?
Yes. We cover all 23 communities in Rio Arriba on one flat schedule — from Tierra Amarilla and Chama in the high country to Truchas and Cordova on the High Road, and out to Dulce and Gallina in the north and west. A home in a remote village gets the same service and pricing as one in Española.
What funding helps pay for a stairlift here?
Several programs can help. New Mexico's Turquoise Care Community Benefit may cover home modifications for Medicaid members at nursing-facility level of care. Veterans may qualify for the VA HISA grant (up to $6,800). USDA Section 504 offers up to $10,000 for rural homeowners 62 and older, and most of the county qualifies as rural. We provide the contractor quotes these programs require.
Is there a travel fee for rural or mountain addresses?
No. We charge one flat county rate, so homes in Chama, Tierra Amarilla, Gallina or Dulce pay no extra for distance. The long drives and mountain terrain are part of how we serve Rio Arriba — they are not added to your bill.
How fast can you install a stairlift?
A straight stairlift is typically installed within about 48 hours of your assessment, often the same week. Curved staircases take longer because the rail is custom-built to your stairs, usually a couple of weeks. We confirm the timeline at the in-home visit and account for winter weather on mountain roads.
