Expert Stairlift Installation in Lewisburg, TN

Three to four hours for most Lewisburg homes. The rail bolts to the treads — not the wall — so the drywall stays intact. That matters a lot in the Courthouse Square historic homes, where you don't want to disturb original plaster. Luis and the crew clean up all drilling debris before they leave.

No. The rail mounts to the stair treads with bolts — it never touches the wall. For the Victorian homes on Hill Avenue and Church Street with original oak treads, the bolts go into the tread themselves, and the rail can be removed later with the holes filled and stained to match. No structural changes to the house.

Yes. The seat and armrests fold up when not in use, leaving about 12 inches of clear stair width — enough for someone to walk up beside it. In older Lewisburg homes where staircases are 32-34 inches wide, the folded lift takes up just over a foot. The laser measurement confirms clearance before we order the rail.

Yes. The outdoor unit is IP55-rated — sealed against rain, humidity, and the freeze-thaw swings we get in Middle Tennessee winters. We've put them on farmhouse porch steps along Thompson Road, on stone entryways outside town, and on deck stairs at properties out toward rural Marshall County.

Yes. The VA Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans and $2,000 for non-service-connected. It's a one-time benefit, tax-free, never repaid. The Columbia VA Clinic at 800 South James Campbell Boulevard, Suite 100, Columbia, TN 38401 — about 20 minutes from Lewisburg — can process the medical-necessity form. The Alvin C. York VA Medical Center in Murfreesboro at 3400 Lebanon Pike handles the full application review.

Yes. Tennessee's CHOICES program — the state's Medicaid managed-care program for adults 65 and older and adults with physical disabilities — classifies stairlifts as minor home modifications. The coverage limit is $6,000 per project, $10,000 per calendar year, and $20,000 per lifetime. A straight stairlift at $2,800 fits under the per-project cap. CHOICES is administered through TennCare managed-care organizations.

The Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA) runs the Emergency Repair Program, which provides grants for essential home repairs to homeowners age 60 or older or those with disabilities. While it's designed for critical repairs like failed HVAC or roof leaks, some accessibility modifications qualify. The program distributes funding through local administrators — you'd contact the South Central Tennessee Development District to check current availability in Marshall County.

We offer financing starting at $79/month. A straight lift at $2,800 financed at that rate costs less per month than most cable-and-internet bundles. There's no prepayment penalty, and applications take about 10 minutes. We also accept checks, credit cards, and can help with the VA HISA and CHOICES paperwork during the in-home assessment.
