Expert Stairlift Installation in Roswell, NM

A straight stairlift installs in 2-3 hours; a curved rail takes 4-6 hours. Many older Roswell homes have solid oak treads, which actually makes the bolt-down faster and more secure than newer particleboard stairs. We protect floors, test the lift fully, and show you how to use it before we leave the same day.

Yes. The tightest staircases we work with in the Chihuahuita and Downtown historic districts are only 28 inches wide, with steep 8-inch rises and narrow 1910s treads. The seat folds up to about 12 inches deep when not in use, leaving room to walk. In a few cases we fit a perch seat for users who can't bend the knee fully.

No. The rail bolts to the treads, not the wall, so plaster and adobe walls stay untouched. On carpeted stairs we bolt through the carpet into the plywood sub-tread with no pile damage; on Roswell's common solid-oak stairs the fixings are even more secure. Everything is reversible if you sell or move the lift.

Yes. Our outdoor model is IP55-rated and built for Roswell's blowing dust, intense UV, and 100-degree afternoons, with sealed tracks and a weather cover. It handles porch and entry steps on the slab-built homes common in the Pecan Orchards and Southeast Roswell. We seal every joint so dust and freeze-thaw don't reach the motor.

Possibly. New Mexico's Medicaid program is now Turquoise Care (formerly Centennial Care), and its Community Benefit package covers environmental modifications such as lifts when they're medically necessary. You apply through your managed-care organization with a provider's recommendation. Approval typically takes 6-12 weeks, so start early. We can document the install for your case.
