Expert Stairlift Installation in Lakeland, TN

A straight stairlift install in Lakeland takes about 3 hours. A curved install takes 4 to 5 hours — plus the 2 to 3 weeks for custom rail fabrication after the measurement visit. We install year-round. Lakeland does get occasional winter ice events, but our crew runs on schedule unless I-40 shuts down. Most families schedule for a weekday morning and the lift is ready by lunch.

Yes. Split-levels are common in Lakeland's Stonebridge and Canada Woods subdivisions, where homes from the 1980s and early 1990s have short flights of 6 to 10 stairs between living areas. We use a compact straight rail that fits 28-inch-wide treads. The install takes the same 3 hours as a full-flight staircase. If the split has a landing and a second short flight, we angle the rail at the break point — no custom curved rail needed for that.

Yes. We install in every Lakeland neighborhood — the six Garner Lake shoreline subdivisions (Windward Slopes, East Shores, Lakeland Estates, The Preserve, Long's Landing, The Pointe), plus inland neighborhoods like Herons Ridge, Cool Springs, Stonebridge, Canada Woods, Bentbrooke Hills, Evergreen Hills, Fairway Meadows, Plantation Hills, Oakwood, Creekside Manor, and Cedar Woods Estates. We also cover Arlington, Bartlett, and Germantown.

Indoor installs are not affected by weather at all. Outdoor lifts on Lakeland porches and decks use IP55-rated, weather-sealed components built for Shelby County's humid summers and occasional freezing rain. The battery backup on every lift — indoor and outdoor — runs for about 6 hours after a power cut, which matters during the ice storms that sometimes knock out power along the I-40 corridor. Lakeland's city snow and ice plan keeps Canada Road and Highway 70 passable, so our crew can still reach you.

Yes. The VA's Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant covers stairlifts. Service-connected veterans qualify for up to $6,800 — enough for a straight install with money left over. Non-service-connected veterans get up to $2,000. It is a one-time grant, tax-free, and never repaid. Lakeland veterans are served by the Lt. Col. Luke Weathers, Jr. VA Medical Center at 116 N. Pauline Street in Memphis, which processes HISA applications. The Nonconnah Boulevard VA Clinic at 1689 Nonconnah Boulevard in Memphis also handles primary care referrals.

Yes. TennCare CHOICES — Tennessee's Medicaid managed long-term care program — covers home modifications including stairlifts as an environmental modification service. Under current rules (Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1200-13-01-.05), minor home modifications are capped at $6,000 per project, $10,000 per calendar year, and $20,000 per lifetime. A straight stairlift at $2,800 fits within the per-project limit. CHOICES is for adults 65 and older or adults 21 and older with physical disabilities who meet financial and functional eligibility criteria.

The Tennessee Housing Development Agency runs a Home Modifications and Ramps Program through the Tennessee Housing Trust Fund. It covers accessibility upgrades — ramps, grab bars, widened doorways — for low-income elderly and disabled homeowners. Stairlifts can qualify under this program depending on the specific funding cycle and how the local administering agency defines the eligible modification list. Income limits apply and are updated annually. Contact the Shelby County THDA partner agency to check current eligibility.

We offer financing from $79/month with no down payment and no prepayment penalty. The approval takes about 10 minutes online. For veterans, the HISA grant covers most or all of a straight stairlift. CHOICES enrollees can pursue coverage through TennCare. We also work with families who combine funding — for example, using HISA for the base install and financing any upgrade options. No family in Lakeland has to pay the full amount upfront if they do not want to.
