Expert Stairlift Installation in Eastlake, OH

Our Surfside ranch on Stevens Boulevard has the kind of short straight stairs that should be easy, and with Luis it was. He measured Monday, installed Thursday. The batteries kept it running through the lake-effect storm on February 14th when we lost power for six hours. My husband can still get to the basement workbench — that was the whole point.

The split-level we bought in Shoregate had a half-flight up and a half-flight down from the entry. Luis quoted a curved rail that handles the 90-degree turn at the middle landing. Six weeks from measure to install day, but the fabrication was worth it — the rail fits the turn like it was cast for the house.

My dad is a Vietnam vet and we got approved for the HISA grant through the Lake County VA Clinic in Willoughby. $6,800 covered, then financing on the balance. Luis coordinated all the paperwork with the VA directly. The outdoor rail on the back deck has made it through two Eastlake winters so far.

I live on Erie Road a block from Lake Shore Boulevard. My front entry has four stone steps and the salt truck goes by every storm. Luis spec'd powder-coated aluminum for the outdoor rail — he explained why cheap brands rust through in two winters of road-salt exposure. Three winters in and it still looks new.

My mother uses a wheelchair and the three steps into our Willowick-border Vine Street house were a daily struggle. Luis installed an indoor inclined platform lift — flat black deck, yellow edges, white handrail. She can get from the garage to the kitchen without transferring. He came back the next week to adjust the ramp angle at no charge.

We live near Classic Park and the split between the main floor and the bedroom level was getting too steep for my mom. Luis installed a Bruno straight rail on the carpeted stairs and matched the upholstery to the runner. Quiet enough that my dad, who naps downstairs, doesn't hear it when she goes up.
