Expert Stairlift Installation in Southlake, TX

Most straight-rail installs take about three hours — Luis arrives, mounts the rail to the treads, plugs in the unit, tests everything, and cleans up. Curved rails take four to six hours because the rail is custom-fabricated after a one-hour laser measurement visit roughly a week earlier. The lift plugs into a standard 120V outlet, so there's no rewiring, and most Southlake jobs are done within five to seven business days of the assessment.

No. The rail bolts directly into the stair treads, not the wall or drywall. For hardwood — common in Timarron and Coventry Manor — the bolt holes are small and on the tread surface, hidden by the rail. On carpeted stairs like those in Clariden Ranch, the rail mounts straight through the carpet into the treads beneath. If the lift is ever removed, the tread holes are easily patched.

Yes. Older homes in neighborhoods like Shady Oaks and Chimney Hill — many built in the 1980s and 1990s — often have a single 90-degree turn or a mid-landing. We laser-measure every angle on site, then fabricate the curved rail to follow the staircase exactly. The seat parks at the top landing and folds clear of the walkway. No drywall work and no structural change to the home.

Under the federal Fair Housing Act, a homeowners association cannot deny a reasonable modification for a resident with a disability. We've installed in every major Southlake subdivision — Timarron, Coventry Manor, Carillon, Monticello Estates — without HOA issues. For exterior lifts, we provide the spec sheet showing the rail bolts to the steps, not the building, which usually clears HOA review in a couple of weeks.

Yes. The VA Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant provides up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans and up to $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans with a 50% or higher disability rating. You need a prescription from a VA provider confirming medical necessity. We help with the paperwork and coordinate with the Fort Worth VA Clinic at 2201 SE Loop 820 or the Dallas VA Medical Center at 4500 South Lancaster Road. The grant is one-time and tax-free.

Yes. STAR+PLUS, Texas's Medicaid managed-care program for elderly and disabled adults, can cover a stairlift as a minor home modification through its Home and Community-Based Services. There is a $7,500 lifetime cap per member for minor home modifications, plus up to $300 a year afterward for repairs. The modification must be medically necessary and written into your service plan; your managed-care organization authorizes the work.

Yes. The Amy Young Barrier Removal Program, run by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, provides one-time grants of up to $22,500 for home accessibility modifications — including stairlifts — for qualifying households with a person who has a disability. Income limits apply, and funds are awarded through approved administrators. It's one of the larger accessibility grants available to Tarrant County homeowners.

Generally, no single funding source can be combined with another for the same expense. But if the HISA grant's $6,800 doesn't cover the full cost — for example, a $9,000 curved stairlift in a Coventry Manor home — the remaining balance can be paid out of pocket or through our $79/month financing. Luis can also point veterans toward STAR+PLUS or the Amy Young program if HISA isn't the right fit.
