Expert Stairlift Installation in Kingsland, TX

A straight stairlift install takes about three hours from arrival to final test. A curved install takes four to five hours because the rail was already fabricated off site from laser measurements. An outdoor lift on stone porch steps adds about an hour for weather-sealing the mounting points. Most Kingsland installs happen in the morning, and the homeowner is using the lift by lunch.

No. The rail bolts to the stair treads, not the wall. The drywall stays intact. On carpeted stairs — common in River Oaks and the 1990s ranches off 1431 — the carpet is not cut or glued. On hardwood treads, the bolt holes are 3/8-inch and hidden under the rail bracket. On stone treads, we use a hammer drill and stainless anchors. Nothing attaches to the wall, nothing attaches to the handrail.

Yes. We install outdoor stairlifts on stone, concrete, and wooden porch steps around Lake LBJ. The rail mounts to the stone treads with stainless steel anchors rated for exterior use. The lift is IP55-rated — sealed against rain, dust, and the humidity off the lake. The powder-coated rail resists the Hill Country sun, and the seat cover is UV-treated. Battery backup is included because freeze events in Llano County can take out power.

Yes. We install indoor inclined platform lifts for wheelchair users who cannot transfer to a stairlift seat. The platform has a flat black deck, yellow safety edges, and white handrails on both sides. It carries up to 600 pounds and fits stairs as narrow as 36 inches. We have put these into single-story Kingsland homes where the bedroom is on a different level and the homeowner uses a wheelchair full-time.

Yes, through the HISA grant. Veterans with a service-connected disability can receive up to $6,800 — one-time, tax-free, never repaid. Non-service-connected veterans can receive up to $2,000. The stairlift must be medically justified by a VA physician. The closest full VA medical center is the Olin E. Teague Veterans' Center at 1901 Veterans Memorial Drive in Temple (about 75 miles east). The Austin VA Outpatient Clinic at 7901 Metropolis Drive also processes HISA paperwork.

STAR+PLUS is Texas's Medicaid managed care program for adults with disabilities and seniors 65 and older. The STAR+PLUS HCBS waiver covers minor home modifications — including stairlifts — when they are medically necessary and written into the individual service plan by the member's MCO service coordinator. To qualify, the applicant must meet nursing-facility level-of-care criteria and have income under $2,982 per month (2026 limit). The approval process starts with your STAR+PLUS health plan's service coordinator. Kingsland residents fall under the Central Texas service region.

Yes — the Amy Young Barrier Removal Program, administered by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, provides one-time grants up to $22,500 for home accessibility modifications including stairlifts and ramps. The household must include a person with a disability and have income at or below 80% of the area median family income. The grant can cover up to 75% of costs for barrier removal. Applications open periodically through NOFA announcements on the TDHCA website.

We offer financing at $79 per month with no prepayment penalty. This covers both straight and curved installs. Many Kingsland families combine financing with a HISA grant or STAR+PLUS waiver to reduce the upfront cost. We walk you through the paperwork at the free in-home assessment — the HISA form, the medical-necessity statement, and the contractor quote all get handled in one visit. Financing approval is same-day in most cases.
