Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Brevard County

Brevard County, FL

Merritt Island stretches between the Indian River and Banana River lagoons, with housing stock ranging from 1960s ranch homes in Merritt Ridge to waterfront two-story properties along South Tropical Trail. In North Merritt Island, many homes date to the Space Race era — narrow straight staircases are common in these original builds. The Georgiana Settlement area and Newfound Harbor feature canal-front homes where curved rails often track along half-walls at upper landings. Audubon and Banana River Park mix single-story ranch homes with newer two-story construction. Catalina Isle Estates and Villa de Palmas include Mediterranean-style homes with wide staircases suited to heavy-duty lifts.

Real stories from families across Brevard County — drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below. Every review came from a verified customer.

My mom lives alone in a 1972 split-level off Courtenay Parkway. After her hip surgery, the stairs between the living room and bedroom were impossible. Luis came out within three days and had the straight rail installed the following week. The seat parks neatly at the bottom and doesn't block the hallway at all. My mom calls it her 'Cadillac' now — she rides up every night with her book and a cup of tea.

We put in a curved stairlift after my father-in-law moved into our Banana River Park home. Our staircase turns 90 degrees at the landing, and I assumed we'd have to surrender the guest bedroom to put a bed downstairs. Luis measured the curve with a laser and the custom rail fit perfectly — the seat tracks around the turn and parks out of the way at the top. Took about four hours to install. My father-in-law uses it five times a day now.

We needed a heavy-duty lift for my husband in our Catalina Isle Estates home. He's 6'3" and we needed the 600 lb capacity. Luis brought the heavy-duty model — wider seat, reinforced rail, and the install was still just a morning's work. The rail runs alongside our wide Mediterranean-style staircase and folds up so it's barely visible when guests visit. Price was exactly what Luis quoted at the assessment — no add-ons.

Our outdoor lift goes from the driveway up six stone steps to the front porch. With the salt air off the Banana River, I was worried about rust, but Luis explained the marine-grade seals and IP55 rating. It's been a year and the lift looks and runs like day one. During Hurricane Milton, we lost power for four hours and the battery backup kept it running the whole time. My mother-in-law never missed a doctor's appointment.

My stairs are narrow — maybe 32 inches wide in our 1964 ranch in Angel City. I figured we didn't have room for a stairlift. Luis came out and showed me that the rail only needs about 12 inches of width, and the seat folds up to 16 inches when parked. The install crew was in and out in under three hours. They bolted to the treads and the carpet didn't even need patching. I've got my upstairs back after two years of sleeping on the couch.

We used the HISA grant for my dad's stairlift in Tropic. Luis walked us through the VA paperwork — he knew exactly which form to submit to the Viera VA Clinic and what the doctor needed to write on the prescription. The grant covered the full $6,800 for the curved install. From VA approval to install day was about five weeks. My dad's a retired Air Force mechanic and he still talks about how smooth the rail tracks on the turn.

Common Questions

Everything Merritt Island Homeowners Actually Ask

Straight answers about cost, installation, and funding — no sales fluff. Browse by topic or call us if you have a question that isn't here.

What does a straight stairlift cost in Merritt Island?

A straight stairlift in Merritt Island starts at $2,800 installed. That covers the rail, the seat, battery backup, and the full install — usually about 3 hours. The price doesn't change based on which Merritt Island neighborhood you're in. If your straight staircase runs longer than 14 treads, a longer rail adds about $200.

How much is a curved stairlift for a Merritt Island home?

A curved stairlift starts at $9,000 in Merritt Island. The rail is custom-bent after a 1-hour laser measurement on site — it has to match your exact stair turn, whether it's a 90-degree landing on Sykes Creek or a 180-degree switchback in Georgiana Settlement. That measurement and custom fabrication is what drives the curved price higher than a straight unit.

What do outdoor stairlifts cost on Merritt Island?

An outdoor stairlift in Merritt Island starts at $4,000. The outdoor units are IP55-rated and marine-grade sealed — necessary on a barrier island where salt air corrodes standard components fast. Common installs are porch entries off the dock side of canal-front homes in Newfound Harbor or steps leading from the driveway up to the front door.

Are there financing options for stairlifts in Merritt Island?

Yes. We offer financing starting at $79/month. There's no prepayment penalty, and most approvals come through the same day. On a straight install, that's less than many Merritt Island households spend on cable and internet each month. We can run your application during the free in-home assessment.

How long does a stairlift installation take in Merritt Island?

A straight stairlift takes about 3 hours from arrival to test ride. A curved install — after the custom rail comes back from fabrication — takes 4 to 5 hours. Outdoor lifts take about the same as indoor straight units. We bolt the rail directly to the stair treads, not the wall, so drywall stays intact. The crew cleans up and walks you through all controls before they leave.

Can a stairlift be installed in older Merritt Island homes from the 1960s?

Yes — and we do it regularly. Many 1960s-era homes in North Merritt Island and Merritt Ridge were built with 32- to 34-inch-wide staircases. That falls within standard for a straight rail. For curved installs in older homes, the laser measurement picks up any settling or uneven treads so the rail is cut to match your actual stairs, not a blueprint.

Do I need HOA approval for a stairlift on Merritt Island?

Most Merritt Island single-family homes are outside HOA jurisdiction, but some subdivisions have architectural review requirements. Under Florida's Fair Housing Act protections, an HOA can't deny a reasonable accessibility modification. The rail bolts to the treads and folds up when not in use, so it's minimally visible. We can provide the spec sheet and rail profile for your HOA submission.

What happens with my stairlift during a hurricane or power outage?

Every lift we install on Merritt Island comes with a 4Ah DC battery backup that runs the lift for about 6 hours after a power cut. During a hurricane, the lift stays operational as long as the batteries hold. Merritt Island is a mandatory evacuation zone — if you shelter in place, the battery covers typical outage windows. If power is out longer, plugging the lift into a generator keeps the batteries topped off.

Does the VA HISA grant cover stairlifts for Merritt Island veterans?

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 veterans. Merritt Island veterans apply through the Viera VA Clinic at 2900 Veterans Way, Viera, FL 32940 (321-637-3788) or the Orlando VA Medical Center. A VA physician writes the medical-necessity statement. The grant is one-time, tax-free, and never repaid — the most common funding route we see on this island.

Does Florida Medicaid cover stairlift installation on Merritt Island?

Florida's SMMC-LTC program (Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care) covers Home Accessibility Adaptations — which can include stairlifts — for Medicaid-eligible seniors who need nursing-facility-level care but choose to stay at home. Approval goes through your SMMC-LTC managed care plan, not directly through the state. The process takes longer than VA or private pay — typically 6 to 12 weeks from application to install.

Are there Brevard County programs that help pay for a stairlift?

Aging Matters in Brevard runs a Senior Assistance Program that helps with home safety modifications. Their team installs grab bars, small ramps, and chair platforms — though they typically handle smaller-scale work, not full stairlift installs. They're a good resource for complementary safety work. We also recommend checking HUD's Older Adults Home Modification Program if you're a low-income senior homeowner.

Does Medicare cover stairlifts on Merritt Island?

No — Original Medicare does not cover stairlifts. They're classified as home modifications, not durable medical equipment. Some Medicare Advantage plans in Brevard County include an over-the-counter benefit card or a home-safety allowance that can offset a few hundred dollars, but it won't cover the full cost. The VA HISA grant, Florida SMMC-LTC, and our $79/month financing are the main paths for Merritt Island residents.

A word from Luis

I've put in stairlifts from North Merritt Island down to the south end of Tropical Trail for 15 years now. The older Space Race-era homes off Courtenay Parkway almost always have the same 32-inch-wide staircase — tight but workable with a straight rail. The bigger challenge on this island is the humidity and salt air. We use marine-grade seals on every outdoor lift, and every rail we bolt down gets a battery backup that runs 6 hours — because when a hurricane knocks out power here, people still need to get up and down.
What I hear from families on Merritt Island is always the same: the stairs were fine until they weren't. A fall, a hip replacement, a parent moving in — and suddenly that two-story on Sykes Creek becomes a daily problem. We usually have the rail in and tested the same week they call.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Living on a barrier island means your home has to work with the environment — and that includes how you get up and down the stairs. A stairlift on Merritt Island keeps you in the home you know, whether it's a 1960s ranch near SR 520 or a riverfront two-story on South Tropical Trail. Salt air and hurricane-season outages are why we put marine-grade seals and a 6-hour battery backup on every lift here.

Call us or fill out the form above. Luis will come out, look at your stairs, and give you a number the same day — no pressure, no sales pitch, just a real quote for your house.
