Expert Stairlift Installation in Lakeside, OR

Most straight installs in Lakeside take about three hours from the moment we arrive. Curved installs take four to five hours because the rail comes in sections that are joined and calibrated on site. Outdoor installs run about three to four hours. On older lake cabins with open-riser stairs, mounting plates may be added under the treads, adding 30 to 60 minutes, but the treads stay intact. No wall drilling, no drywall repair, no painting afterward.

Yes — we do it regularly. Many of the 1960s and '70s A-frames and cabins on North Tenmile Lake have staircases only 28 to 32 inches wide. Our straight-rail units need about 26 inches of clear width, so they fit nearly all of them. The rail mounts to the treads, not the wall, and the seat folds up so the stairs stay walkable for everyone else. Luis measures clear width during the free assessment and tells you on the spot whether it fits.

Yes — we cover every home in Lakeside, from the city center around 3rd Street and Park Avenue, to the lakefront on North and South Tenmile, to the homes off Bowron Road and out along Highway 101 toward the dunes. We also serve North Bend, Coos Bay, Reedsport, Winchester Bay, Coquille, Bandon, Myrtle Point, and Florence. There are no travel fees anywhere in Coos County.

No. The rail bolts directly into the stair treads, not the wall, so there is zero drywall work, no painting, and no patching. If your Lakeside home has hardwood treads — common in the older lake cabins — we use bolts that pass clean through and are capped underneath. On carpeted stairs the bolts go through the carpet into the wood beneath. When the lift is removed, the holes can be filled and are barely visible.

Yes. The VA's Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant covers stairlifts as a medically necessary home modification. Service-connected veterans can receive up to $6,800 — enough for a straight stairlift in full and most of a curved or outdoor unit. Non-service-connected veterans can receive up to $2,000. The grant is tax-free, one-time, and never repaid. You will need a prescription from your VA provider and a quote from us. The North Bend VA Clinic (2191 Marion Street, North Bend, (541) 756-8002) handles local primary care.

Yes — through the Oregon K Plan (Community First Choice under 1915(k) of the Social Security Act). The K Plan covers environmental modifications including stairlifts, with a cap of $5,000 per modification per plan year. To qualify, you must be enrolled in the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) and meet a nursing-facility level of care. The $5,000 cap covers a straight stairlift in full; for a curved or outdoor unit above that, the balance can be covered by other funding or private pay.

Coos County does not run a dedicated stairlift grant, but the county's Veterans Services office at 1875 Virginia Avenue in North Bend helps local veterans apply for the VA HISA grant and can connect residents to the Oregon K Plan through the state's Aging and People with Disabilities (APD) office. The Northwest Access Fund also offers low-interest loans to Oregon residents for assistive technology and home accessibility equipment, including stairlifts.

We offer financing from $79 per month through our lending partners. The application takes about five minutes and the soft check does not affect your credit score. For a $2,800 straight stairlift, that works out to roughly $79 a month over 48 months — about the cost of a cable bill. There is no prepayment penalty, and the rate is fixed. Most Lakeside residents who do not qualify for HISA or the K Plan use this option.
