Expert Stairlift Installation in Millington, TN

Most straight stairlift installs in Millington take about 3 hours. Curved lifts take 4-5 hours because the custom rail has more sections to assemble. We bolt the rail directly to the stair treads — no drywall work, no rewiring. The only thing you need is a standard wall outlet near the top or bottom of the stairs.

No. The rail bolts to the stair treads, not the wall. Your drywall stays intact. When the rail is removed, the bolt holes in the treads are small and fill easily with wood putty. We don't drill into banisters, handrails, or walls.

Yes. We've installed lifts on staircases as narrow as 28 inches in older Lucy and City Center homes. The seat and armrests fold up when not in use, so the stairs stay passable for other family members. During the assessment, Luis measures the width and tells you exactly how much clearance the folded seat will leave.

Yes. Outdoor stairlifts start at $4,000. The rail and seat are weather-sealed — IP55 rated for rain, humidity, and the freeze-thaw cycles we get in Shelby County winters. We've installed them on porch steps in Quito Estates, entryway stairs in Lucy, and deck stairs across Millington.

Yes. The VA HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans and $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans. It's a one-time, tax-free grant that never has to be repaid. Millington veterans apply through the Lt. Col. Luke Weathers, Jr. VA Medical Center at 116 N. Pauline Street in Memphis. The new Millington VA Community Based Outpatient Clinic at 4943 W. Union Road now serves Mid-South veterans as the tenth CBOC under the Memphis VA Healthcare System. We help with the paperwork during your assessment.

Yes. Tennessee's CHOICES program — which replaced the old Elderly and Disabled Waiver — covers home modifications including stairlifts for eligible TennCare members. You must be 65 or older (or have a physical disability) and meet the nursing-facility level of care assessment. The program covers environmental modifications that support staying at home safely. We can help connect you with a CHOICES care coordinator during the assessment.

Yes. The Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA) runs a Home Repairs, Modifications, and Ramps Program through the Tennessee Housing Trust Fund. It serves low-income, elderly, and disabled Tennesseans for home accessibility modifications including stairlifts. Funding is limited and awarded on a first-come basis. We can point you to the application during your assessment.

Your VA primary care provider must complete a medical-necessity statement confirming the stairlift is needed for your condition. That form, along with our quote, goes to the VA prosthetics department at the Lt. Col. Luke Weathers, Jr. VA Medical Center at 116 N. Pauline Street, Memphis. Approval typically takes 2-4 weeks. Once approved, we schedule the install and bill the VA directly. The grant is $6,800 for service-connected veterans, $2,000 otherwise.
