Expert Stairlift Installation in Longmont, CO

Straight rails are 2–4 hours on-site. We arrive, verify measurements, bolt the rail into the stair treads, mount the seat, test every safety sensor, and walk you through the remotes. Curved rails take longer to fabricate (10–14 days for the laser scan and custom manufacturing) but install day is still under 5 hours. No multi-day projects. No drywall dust.

For an interior stairlift — no. Longmont’s HPC reviews exterior modifications on contributing structures in the East Side and West Side Historic Districts, but interior rail installs are not within their jurisdiction. The only scenario requiring HPC review is an outdoor porch lift on a contributing structure where the rail is visible from the street. When that applies, we prepare the HPC application and attend the hearing with you at no charge.

That’s the single most common staircase we measure in Longmont — the standard bi-level layout built along the Ken Pratt corridor and through Lakeshore Park in the 1970s and 1980s. If both runs are straight with no landing turn, we can install two independent straight rails (one up, one down) for less than the cost of a single curved unit. If there’s a landing turn, we laser-scan and fabricate one continuous curved rail. Either way, one visit, one install day.

Yes. Every unit we install in Boulder County runs on battery power with household current as the charging source. When the grid drops — and it drops regularly during Chinook wind events along the Front Range — the lithium battery keeps the lift running for 20–30 round trips before it needs a recharge. Enough to ride through a full-day outage without thinking about it.

Yes, through the Elderly, Blind and Disabled (EBD) HCBS Waiver administered by the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy & Financing. Stairlifts qualify as home modifications under a $10,000 lifetime cap. Eligibility requires Colorado residency, age 65+ or adult disability, Health First Colorado (Medicaid) financial eligibility, and a nursing-facility-level-of-care assessment by the Single Entry Point agency in Boulder County. The Boulder County AAA at 303-441-3570 is the entry point. We structure every quote to fit inside the $10,000 cap and handle the SEP authorization paperwork on your behalf.

The VA HISA grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected disabilities and up to $2,000 for non-service-connected, paid directly to us after a prescription from a VA provider. The Boulder County Veterans Service Office at 515 Coffman Street in downtown Longmont (303-441-3890) is where we start every vet case. The prescription typically routes through the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center in Aurora. Turnaround: 4–8 weeks from prescription to approved payment. We prefill VA Form 10-0103 for every veteran client in Boulder County.

If a licensed physician recommends the stairlift in writing (we provide the letter template), the IRS classifies it as a qualified medical expense under Schedule A, and Colorado conforms to the federal treatment on state returns. For households that itemize, the installation cost reduces taxable income — usually worth $500–$2,000 back depending on your bracket. You must itemize rather than take the standard deduction. We walk you through whether itemizing makes sense during the free assessment.

Yes — three lending partners with 0% APR for qualified buyers and low fixed-rate plans from $79/month. Application is a soft credit pull (no hit to your score), takes about 4 minutes, and approval is usually instant. Many Longmont families combine financing with the IRS medical deduction or a partial HISA grant to bring the monthly payment down further. We walk you through the math during the free assessment — on paper, not a tablet.
