Expert Stairlift Installation in Loveland, CO

Straight rails are 2–4 hours on-site. Curved rails for the Campion split-levels and the downtown homes with landing turns take 1–2 weeks for fabrication, but install day is still usually under 4 hours. Outdoor porch installs take a full day because of the wind-rated anchor work and cold-weather sealing required on the Front Range. No overnight workers, no multi-day mess.

No. Modern stairlifts bolt into the stair treads themselves — the rail is self-supporting and never touches your wall, your banister, your paint, or the original late-Victorian or Edwardian millwork. We’ve installed in dozens of pre-1920 homes across Loveland’s West 4th and West 5th Street historic districts without damaging a single original detail. If we ever remove the lift, you’re left with a handful of small pilot holes in the tread — not in the spindles, not the newel post, not the original fir risers.

For an interior stairlift — no. The Loveland Historic Preservation Commission reviews exterior modifications on properties listed in the city’s historic register, including homes in the West 4th and West 5th Street districts and individually designated landmarks. Interior rail installs are not within their jurisdiction. The only time you’d need review is if we’re adding an exterior porch lift on a contributing structure’s street-facing facade. When that’s the case, we handle the application at no charge.

Yes, and this is the single most common install we do in south Loveland. The split-level ranches from Campion through Berthoud almost always have a mid-landing with a 90° turn. We laser-scan the staircase during the first consultation, fabricate a curved rail that carries you from the lower level to the upper bedrooms in one continuous ride, and add a swivel-exit seat at the top so you step off onto the hallway floor instead of the top tread. One ride, zero transfers.

Yes, through the Colorado EBD (Elderly, Blind and Disabled) HCBS Waiver, administered by the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy & Financing. The waiver covers stairlifts as a home modification benefit. Eligibility requires Colorado residency, Health First Colorado (Medicaid) enrollment, age 65+ or adult with disability, and a nursing-facility level-of-care assessment by the Single Entry Point (SEP) agency in Larimer County. We coordinate with your SEP case manager and handle the authorization paperwork. Call HCPF at 303-866-2993 to start.

The Loveland VA Community Based Outpatient Clinic on North Boise Avenue can initiate HISA prescriptions, or you can use VA Video Connect telehealth. The prescription routes through the Cheyenne VA Medical Center for processing. The HISA grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected disabilities and $2,000 for non-service-connected, paid directly to us. Nearly 5,000 veterans live in Loveland — the Associated Veterans Club of Loveland is one of the strongest vet support networks on the northern Front Range, and many of our referrals come through that community. We prefill VA Form 10-0103 for you.

If a licensed Colorado physician recommends the stairlift in writing — we provide the letter template — the IRS classifies it as a qualified medical expense under Schedule A. Colorado conforms to the federal treatment on state returns. Additionally, Colorado seniors 65+ who have owned and occupied their home for 10+ consecutive years qualify for the Senior Homestead Property Tax Exemption — 50% of the first $200,000 of assessed value. Disabled veterans with 100% service-connected disability also qualify without the 10-year residency requirement. Our office walks you through whether itemizing makes sense for your 2026 return.

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 Loveland 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 screen you can’t read.
