Expert Stairlift Installation in Security-Widefield, CO

Most straight-rail installs take about three hours. Curved rails take four to five hours because the custom-bent rail needs precise alignment. We bolt the rail to the stair treads — not the wall — so there's no drywall repair, no repainting, and no mess. You can use the lift the same day.

Yes. Many 1950s and 1960s split-levels in Clearview Estates and older Widefield sections have stairs as narrow as 30 inches. Our straight rail projects only 11 inches from the wall, and the seat, armrests, and footrest fold up so the staircase stays passable. Luis measures everything at the free assessment.

No permit is needed — stairlifts are treated as a reasonable accessibility modification under the federal Fair Housing Act, not a structural alteration. Some HOAs in newer subdivisions like The Glen at Widefield or Lorson Ranch may ask for a courtesy notice, but they cannot deny a medically necessary accessibility device. We handle the documentation if your HOA needs it.

Every stairlift we install has a DC motor with a built-in backup battery. During an outage — common in Security-Widefield when ice storms hit the Front Range — the battery runs the lift for about six to eight hours of normal use, then recharges automatically when power returns. No generator needed.

Yes. The Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant provides up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans and $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans. It's a one-time, tax-free grant that's never repaid. The closest facility is the PFC Floyd K. Lindstrom VA Clinic at 3141 Centennial Blvd in Colorado Springs, about twelve miles north, which processes HISA applications.

Colorado's Elderly, Blind, and Disabled (EBD) Waiver — administered through Health First Colorado — covers home modifications including stairlifts up to a $14,000 lifetime maximum. You must be Medicaid-eligible and need the lift to avoid nursing-home placement. The El Paso County Department of Human Services helps determine eligibility; some benefits also route through Community First Choice (CFC).

Yes — the Colorado Home Modification Tax Credit (HB18-1267) lets an individual with an illness, impairment, or disability claim a state income tax credit of up to $5,000 for retrofitting a primary residence. A stairlift qualifies. The credit is available for modifications completed in tax years 2019 through 2028 and can be carried for up to eight years until used up.

Call us — we walk you through both at the free in-home assessment. For HISA: your VA primary care provider writes a medical-necessity statement, we provide the quote, and the Lindstrom VA Clinic processes it, typically in 4–6 weeks. For the EBD Waiver: we coordinate with your Health First Colorado case manager and submit the home-modification provider bid. Many families get approved for both.
