Expert Stairlift Installation in Jackson, MS

Straight rails are 2–4 hours on-site — we arrive, measure once more, bolt the rail into the stair treads, mount the chair, test every safety sensor, and walk you through the remotes. Curved rails take 1–2 weeks for fabrication but install day is still usually under 4 hours. No overnight workers, no multi-day mess.

No. Modern stairlifts bolt into the stair treads themselves — the rail is self-supporting and never touches your wall, your banister, your paint, or your original 1920s millwork. We’ve installed in dozens of pre-war bungalows across Belhaven and Fondren without damaging a single original detail. If we ever remove the lift, you’re left with a handful of small pilot holes in the tread wood.

Your stairlift runs on a battery backup — it does not require wall power. We spec 72-hour extended battery capacity on every Jackson install because Mississippi severe storms routinely knock out power for 24–72 hours. During the 2024–2025 severe storm season, we had zero battery-related service calls in the Jackson metro. If the power is out for longer than 72 hours, the lift recharges automatically as soon as the grid returns.

For an interior stairlift — no. Jackson’s Historic Preservation Commission reviews exterior modifications on contributing structures inside designated districts, but interior rail installs are not within their jurisdiction. The only time you’d need review is if we’re adding an outdoor porch lift on a contributing structure’s street-facing facade in the Belhaven or Farish Street historic districts. When that’s the case, we prepare the application at no charge.

Yes, through the Mississippi Elderly & Disabled (E&D) Waiver and the Independent Living Waiver. The E&D Waiver covers stairlifts as environmental accessibility adaptations for residents 21+ assessed at nursing-facility level of care. The Independent Living Waiver covers residents with severe orthopedic or neurological impairments. Both are administered by the Mississippi Division of Medicaid. We are a credentialed provider on both waivers. Call DOM at 1-800-421-2408 to determine which waiver fits your situation.

The G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery VA Medical Center at 1500 E. Woodrow Wilson Avenue processes HISA grants locally — no routing through another state’s VA system. The grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected disabilities and $2,000 for non-service-connected, paid directly to us after a prescription from your Montgomery VA provider. We prefill VA Form 10-0103 for you and work directly with the Montgomery VA HISA coordinator.

Mississippi does not have a separate state itemized deduction for medical expenses — the state uses its own standard deduction model. However, the federal deduction under IRS Schedule A still applies if a licensed Mississippi physician recommends the stairlift in writing (we provide the letter template). For households that itemize federally, the full installation cost reduces taxable income. Mississippi Home Corporation also offers HOME Program grants and deferred loans for income-qualified homeowners — call MHC at 601-718-4642.

Yes — three lending partners with 0% APR for qualified buyers and low fixed-rate plans from $69/month. Application is a soft credit pull (no hit to your score), takes about 4 minutes, and approval is usually instant. Many Jackson families combine financing with the IRS medical deduction or a partial HISA grant. We walk you through the math during the free assessment.
