Expert Stairlift Installation in Parlier, CA

Straight stairlifts take about three hours. Curved rails take about four hours once the custom rail arrives — typically two to three weeks after the measurement. Outdoor and platform lifts take 4–5 hours. In summer we schedule morning installs to beat the Central Valley heat, with the crew usually arriving by 7 a.m.

No. The rail bolts directly to the stair treads, not the wall — no drywall patching or repainting. For Parlier's older 1920s farmhouses with original hardwood, we use precise pilot holes and padded mounting brackets. The rail can be removed later without structural damage; you just fill the bolt holes and refinish the treads if you want.
