Expert Stairlift Installation in Orem, UT

Straight rails are 2-4 hours on-site — we bolt the rail into your 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 the digital scan and fabrication) but install day is still usually under 4 hours.

Yes, and this is the single most common install we do in Orem. The split-level homes from Hillcrest through Sunridge and into south Orem almost always have a mid-landing with a 90-degree turn.

Utah doesn't have a state-level tax credit equivalent to Virginia's Livable Home program, but two federal routes apply. First, 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 — the amount exceeding 7.5% of your adjusted gross income is deductible.
