Expert Stairlift Installation in Grenada, MS

Straight rails on Tie Plant or downtown heart-pine treads take 3-4 hours from arrival to first ride. Curved rails at Stonebridge or Glenwild take one full day because each rail is custom-bent at the factory. We measure on day one, install on day 28-42 once the rail arrives from the factory.
