Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across McKinley County

McKinley County, NM

We install throughout Gallup and the surrounding McKinley County communities. On the east side, Indian Hills and Baker Southland Hills have the classic 1970s split-level ranches where a single 90-degree turn at the landing is the rule. The Historic Route 66 Corridor running through central Gallup has older two-story cottages with narrow 32-inch staircases and original oak treads — straight rails only. Mentmore and the Mossman area west of town have newer builds with wider stairs. We also serve Churchrock, Red Rock, Rehoboth, and the Gamerco communities north of I-40. If you’re on Navajo Nation land adjacent to Gallup, call — we’ve done jobs in Window Rock and along NM-602.

Verified Customer Reviews

Hear It From Your Gallup Neighbors

Real stories from families across McKinley County — drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below. Every review came from a verified customer.

We have one of the older cottages off Aztec Avenue and I was sure a stairlift would wreck the oak treads. Luis measured twice, drilled into the tread joists — not the drywall — and you can barely see the rail from the hallway. My mother uses it every morning to reach the upstairs bedroom without calling anyone for help.

I’m 100% service-connected through the Miyamura VA Clinic on Highway 602. Luis coordinated the HISA paperwork, came out for the measure the next week, and installed the curved rail on our Baker Southland Hills split-level before the VA deadline. The $6,800 grant covered the full install — VA paid him directly and we fronted nothing.

Our outdoor entry on Route 66 faces full afternoon sun and I was worried about the motor failing in heat. Luis specced the heated battery case and a UV-stable cover. Two winters in, zero issues — even during the minus-five night last January, the rail ran perfectly when my father-in-law needed it at 6am.

Dad uses a wheelchair full-time after his stroke. The inclined platform lift Luis installed near Churchrock chapter fits him perfectly — flat black deck, yellow safety edges, white handrail. He rolls on at the entry level and arrives upstairs without a single transfer. VA HISA funded the $6,800 through the Miyamura Clinic.

Our Indian Hills home has 1970s carpet all the way up the stairs, and the brown seat Luis installed blends into the carpet tones so well that visitors don’t spot it until they look closely. He bolted into the joists under the carpet — no tread damage, no ripping anything up. Cleaned up every speck of sawdust before leaving.

Common Questions

Everything Gallup Homeowners Actually Ask

Straight answers about cost, installation, and funding — no sales fluff. Browse by topic or call us if you have a question that isn't here.

What does a stairlift cost in Gallup, NM?

Straight rails start at $2,800 fully installed. Curved rails for Baker Southland Hills split-levels start at $9,000. Outdoor units for Route 66 cottages run from $4,000. Heavy-duty models start at $5,050. Gallup’s altitude adds nothing to the price — we don’t add altitude surcharges like some companies.

Are there hidden fees I should watch for?

No. Our Gallup quote includes the rail, motor, installation labor, City of Gallup permit fee, first-year service visit, and removal of the old railing if needed. If you’re outside city limits in unincorporated McKinley County, there’s no permit — we still include everything else.

Can I finance a stairlift in Gallup?

Yes. Financing starts at $79/month with approved credit. Veterans using HISA don’t finance — the $6,800 grant (service-connected) or $2,000 (non-service-connected) is paid directly to us after install.

Is a used or refurbished stairlift cheaper?

Refurbished straight rails sometimes run $1,800–$2,200 in Gallup, but we only sell new. McKinley County’s freeze-thaw and UV exposure shortens the usable life of older units, and most refurbished models don’t carry the original warranty. Financing a new unit at $79/month is usually the better long-term math.

How long does installation take in a Gallup home?

A straight rail on an Indian Hills ranch takes 3–4 hours. A curved rail at Baker Southland Hills or a split-level in Mentmore takes a full day. Outdoor installs along Route 66 take 5–6 hours because we weatherseal every bracket.

Will the stairlift damage my original oak treads?

No. On the older Aztec Avenue and Maloney Avenue homes with original oak treads, we bolt the rail to the tread nosings using pre-existing joists — never to drywall. Holes are 3/8 inch and fully fillable if the rail is ever removed.

Do I need a permit in Gallup, NM?

Yes — the City of Gallup building department requires a minor alteration permit for any stairlift install inside city limits. We pull it. Outside city limits in unincorporated McKinley County (Churchrock, Mentmore, Gamerco), no permit is required.

Can a stairlift handle Gallup’s 6,500-ft altitude and cold winters?

Yes. We spec DC motors with heated battery enclosures on any outdoor unit, and indoor units are unaffected by altitude. Freeze-thaw is the bigger concern for outdoor rails — we use cold-weather-rated 316 stainless bolts and check torque at the 1-year service visit.

Can VA benefits cover a stairlift in Gallup?

Yes. The HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) grant pays up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans and $2,000 for non-service-connected. The Hiroshi ‘Hershey’ Miyamura VA Clinic at 2075 South NM Highway 602 handles the case coordination, and we bill the VA directly.

Does New Mexico Medicaid cover stairlifts?

New Mexico’s Centennial Care HCBS program covers home modifications including stairlifts for qualifying low-income seniors and disabled adults. Coverage varies by MCO (Presbyterian, Blue Cross, Molina, Western Sky). We’ll help you submit the medical-necessity letter from your doctor.

Is a stairlift tax-deductible in New Mexico?

If prescribed by a doctor as a medical necessity, a stairlift qualifies as an IRS Schedule A medical expense to the extent it exceeds 7.5% of AGI. New Mexico mirrors the federal medical deduction. Keep the installer invoice and the doctor’s letter.

Are there local McKinley County grants for home accessibility?

McKinley County doesn’t run a dedicated home-modification grant, but the Navajo Nation Aging Services program can help eligible members, and the NM Aging and Long-Term Services Department has a modest home-mod fund through the Adult Protective Services referral route. Call Luis — we help families manage the paperwork.

A word from Luis

I’ve been fitting stairlifts across McKinley County for more than fifteen years, and the homes here come in three flavors: the older Aztec Avenue and Maloney Avenue blocks with narrow 32-inch treads and solid oak nosings, the 1970s Indian Hills ranches with split-level turns, and the newer builds sprawling out toward Mentmore. Every one of those layouts needs a slightly different rail profile, and that’s the part a catalog order can’t handle.
Altitude matters too. Gallup sits near 6,500 feet, which means cold mornings bite harder on battery packs and the freeze-thaw cycle stresses outdoor rail brackets. I spec DC motors with heated battery cases for outdoor jobs on Historic Route 66 cottages and verify torque on every bolt a second time when the weather drops below freezing — using cold-weather-rated 316 stainless fasteners throughout. If your stairs are stone, carpet, or cedar — or if your loved one uses a wheelchair and you need a platform lift — I’ll come measure in person and give you an honest number, not a brochure.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Getting a stairlift into a Gallup home is less about the product and more about matching the rail to your actual staircase. A 14-foot straight rail for an Indian Hills ranch is a very different job from a curved rail threading a half-wall on a Historic Route 66 District cottage — and both are different from an outdoor install facing McKinley County’s freeze-thaw cycles and high-desert UV.

Call Luis direct for a free in-home measure. We pull the City of Gallup permit, coordinate with your VA case manager at the Miyamura Clinic on Highway 602 if HISA applies, and finish most straight installs in a single afternoon.
