Expert Stairlift Installation in Eagan, MN

Straight rails in a standard bi-level, rambler, or townhome are 2 to 4 hours on-site. We arrive, laser-measure one more time, bolt the rail into the stair treads, mount the chair, test every safety sensor, run the cold-pack battery through a full charge-discharge cycle, and walk you through the remotes. Curved rails for split-levels take 10 to 14 days to fabricate, but install day is still under 4 hours. Outdoor lifts and platform lifts are typically a full day.

Yes, and this is the single most common install we do in Eagan. The split-level homes from the 1970s along Cliff Road, Lexington South, and Pilot Knob almost always have a mid-landing with a 90-degree turn. We digitally scan the staircase during the first visit, fabricate a curved rail that carries you from the entry to the upper bedrooms in one continuous ride, and add a swivel-exit seat at the top. One ride, zero transfers.

Probably yes. The early-1980s townhomes in Windcrest and the 1970s multi-levels in Timbershore typically have staircases between 28 and 34 inches wide. Our slim-profile model takes up just 11 inches when folded, leaving at least 17 to 23 inches of clear walking width. We've installed in dozens of these units. If the staircase is under 28 inches (rare), we measure first and tell you honestly whether the geometry works.

We reschedule indoor installs without penalty when the windchill drops below -25°F — safety protocols for our techs are non-negotiable. Outdoor lifts we never install below freezing because adhesive cure times change. Once installed, your lift runs on a cold-pack battery rated to -30°F and tested for 50 ride cycles on a single charge. During the last three polar vortex stretches, not one of our Eagan installs lost a ride.

Yes — through the Elderly Waiver (EW) under Minnesota's Medical Assistance program, administered in Eagan through Dakota County Social Services. Stairlifts fall under the Environmental Accessibility Adaptations (EAA) benefit, with a per-year cap of $21,722 as of 2026 that covers most curved rail installs outright. Start by calling the Senior LinkAge Line at 1-800-333-2433, get routed to Dakota County, complete a MnCHOICES assessment (typically 14 to 45 days), and name us as your EAA vendor. We handle the Community Support Plan paperwork at no charge.

We prefill VA Form 10-0103 for you. Typical turnaround is 4 to 8 weeks from prescription to installed lift. Dakota County Veterans Services can also connect you with additional state benefits.
