Expert Stairlift Installation in Sherman, TX

Straight stairlifts install in 2.5 to 3 hours. Curved lifts take a full day because the rail is custom-bent and needs more precise mounting. Outdoor units run about 2 hours. Platform lifts take one day. We show up with the equipment, bolt the rail to the treads (never the wall), plug into a standard 120V outlet, test everything, and clean up. The staircase remains usable throughout.

No. The rail bolts to the stair treads — not the walls, not the drywall, not the studs. In historic Sherman homes — like the Victorians on South Crockett or Craftsman bungalows from the 1920s — this means the original plaster, woodwork, and trim stay completely untouched. When the rail is removed, you'd need to look closely at the treads to see where it was mounted.

Yes. Many Sherman homes built before 1950 have staircases under 32 inches wide. Our straight and curved lifts fit staircases as narrow as 28 inches. The seat, armrests, and footrest all fold up when not in use, leaving plenty of room for other family members to use the stairs normally. We measure the width during the free assessment and confirm fit before ordering.

Yes. Every lift we install includes a DC battery backup system. The battery charges while the lift is parked at the charge point and runs the lift for about 6 hours of continuous use after a power cut. After Winter Storm Uri in 2021, we heard from multiple Sherman customers who used their lifts throughout multi-day outages while the rest of the house was dark.

Start at the Sherman VA Clinic at 1715 Texoma Parkway. You'll need a VA primary care provider to write a medical necessity letter for the stairlift. We help you fill out the HISA application (VA Form 10-0103). Service-connected veterans receive up to $6,800 — tax-free, one-time, never repaid. Non-service-connected veterans with a 50% or higher disability rating can receive up to $2,000. Approval typically takes 4-6 weeks.

STAR+PLUS HCBS (Home and Community-Based Services) can cover minor home modifications — including stairlifts — for Texas residents 65+ or disabled adults who qualify for nursing-facility-level care but choose to remain at home. The benefit requires a service plan assessment and prior authorization through your managed care organization. We've worked with STAR+PLUS recipients in Grayson County and can help coordinate the paperwork with your case manager.

The Area Agency on Aging of Texoma serves Grayson County seniors and can connect you with local programs. The Amy Young Barrier Removal Program offers grants up to $22,500 for home accessibility modifications for households at or below 80% of area median income. Additionally, the Texas Assistive Technology Program through UT Austin can sometimes help with funding. Luis can point you toward these resources during the free assessment.

We offer financing through a third-party lender starting at $79/month for qualified buyers. There's no prepayment penalty, and terms range from 24 to 60 months. The application takes about 10 minutes — we can run it on a tablet during your in-home assessment. Approvals are typically instant. The financing covers the full purchase price including installation, and the lift is yours from day one — not a rental.
