Expert Stairlift Installation in Murfreesboro, TN

Straight rails are 2–4 hours on-site — we arrive, verify measurements from the assessment, bolt the rail into the stair treads, mount the chair, test every safety sensor, and walk you through the remotes. Curved rails take longer to manufacture (1–2 weeks for digital scan and fabrication) but install day is still usually under 4 hours. No overnight workers, no multi-day mess. Same-day ride.

No. Modern stairlifts bolt into the stair treads themselves — the rail is self-supporting and never touches your wall, your banister, your paint, or your original millwork. We’ve installed in pre-1920 downtown Murfreesboro homes without damaging a single original detail. The Cannonsburgh area’s historic housing is exactly the kind of woodwork we’re trained to work around. If we ever remove the lift years later, you’re left with a handful of small holes in the tread wood.

Blackman and Barfield tract homes from the 1990s and 2000s are our most common install in Rutherford County. Standard 13–14 carpeted treads, standard tread depth, wide stairwell. These are textbook straight-rail installs — measured in 20 minutes, installed in under 3 hours. The only variable is carpet thickness, which we measure during the assessment to ensure proper rail-to-tread contact.

Yes — split-level homes are our most common curved install in Rutherford County. The 1970s and 1980s split-levels across North Murfreesboro, Walter Hill, and parts of Salem almost always have a mid-landing with a 90° turn. We digitally scan the staircase during the assessment, fabricate a curved rail that carries you from the entry to the upper bedrooms in one continuous ride, and install a swivel-exit seat at the top.

The Tennessee Valley Healthcare System operates the Alvin C. York VA Medical Center at 3400 Lebanon Pike in Murfreesboro — you may have the shortest drive to a HISA-processing VA hospital of any city we serve. 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 your VA provider. Nashville VA is also 30 minutes north. We prefill VA Form 10-0103 and coordinate with the Murfreesboro campus directly.

Tennessee has no state income tax on wages (the Hall Tax on investment income was repealed in 2021), so there’s no state deduction. The federal IRS deduction still applies — 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. For households that itemize, the full installation cost reduces federal taxable income. Tennessee’s THDA accessibility grant programs may also provide funding — ask us during the 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 Rutherford County families combine financing with the IRS medical deduction or a partial VA grant to bring the monthly payment down further. We walk you through the math during the free assessment.
