Expert Stairlift Installation in Neptune, NJ

Luis came out to our Ocean Grove Victorian on a Tuesday and had the straight lift in by Friday. The staircase in our 1892 home is only 31 inches wide — I thought we'd need some custom solution, but he showed us the narrow-rail option that tucks right against the wall. My mother-in-law can get upstairs to the guest room now without my husband carrying her. The rail color matches the walnut balusters almost exactly.

We have a waterfront home in Shark River Hills with a split-level entry — six steps up from the garage to the kitchen. After my hip surgery, those six steps might as well have been a mountain. Luis measured on a Thursday afternoon, installed the straight unit on Saturday morning. Three hours, zero mess, and the rail runs right along the baseboard so you can barely see it. The battery backup matters here — we lose power during nor'easters and the lift still runs.

Called Luis after my dad fell on the stairs in our Bradley Park colonial. The staircase has a 90-degree turn at the landing — curved rail required. Luis laser-measured everything in about an hour, and the rail arrived three weeks later bent exactly to our stair profile. Install took five hours, and the rail follows the turn so cleanly you'd think it was part of the original 1910 build. Dad uses it every morning to come down for coffee.

Hamilton section of Neptune, pre-war colonial with a straight 13-foot staircase. Luis quoted $2,800 at the assessment, and that's exactly what we paid — no surprises. He pointed out that the NJ FamilyCare MLTSS program could potentially cover it since my mom is on Medicaid, and he helped us start the care-manager referral. The lift was in before the paperwork even finished processing. Mom's been using it for three months and loves the swivel seat at the top.

Summerfield ranch, 12 carpeted steps. I was worried the rail would tear up the carpet or look like hospital equipment in the middle of our living room. Luis explained they bolt through the carpet into the wood tread — no cutting, no tearing. The rail is cream-colored and sits low against the stairs. My wife, who was the skeptical one, admitted after two days she forgets it's there. The financing at $79/month made it doable for us on a fixed income.

We needed a platform lift for my brother who uses a wheelchair, in our West Neptune split-level. Luis was the only installer who showed up with actual specs — 600 lb capacity, flat black deck with yellow safety edges, indoor-rated. He measured the stair incline and had the platform fabricated to fit our exact stair width. The install took about six hours, and the controls are simple: hold the toggle, ride up, release. My brother can get to his bedroom independently for the first time in three years.
