Expert Stairlift Installation in Staten Island, NY

Straight rails are 2–4 hours on-site — we arrive, confirm measurements, bolt the rail into the stair treads, mount the chair, test every safety sensor, and walk you through the controls. Curved rails for New Dorp and Annadale split-levels take 1–2 weeks for digital scanning and fabrication, but install day itself is still under 5 hours. No overnight workers, no multi-day disruption.

You don’t — but we do. Any home improvement work over $200 in New York City requires a DCWP Home Improvement Contractor license, backed by a $20,000 surety bond and $300,000 liability insurance. We carry both. Every contract we sign is DCWP-compliant with the required three-day cancellation notice, itemized scope of work, and written warranty terms. Ask any installer who shows up without a DCWP license number to leave.

Yes — and this is the most common install we do on Staten Island. The 1960s split-level ranches in New Dorp, Annadale, Great Kills, and Eltingville almost always have a mid-landing with a 90-degree turn. We digitally scan the staircase on the first visit, fabricate a curved rail that carries you from the entry to the upper bedrooms in one continuous ride, and add a swivel-exit seat at the top. One ride, zero transfers.

Yes. Every outdoor install within two miles of the Atlantic shoreline ships with 316-stainless fasteners (the same grade used in marine hardware), an IP55-sealed motor housing, epoxy-coated rail, and marine-grade lubricant on every moving joint. We’ve maintained outdoor lifts along the Tottenville and Great Kills waterfront for years without corrosion-related service calls. The coastal spec is included in the quote price — it’s not an add-on.

Yes. The Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) waiver covers home modifications including stairlifts for eligible New York residents. Eligibility requires NY residency, Medicaid financial eligibility, and a determination that you need nursing-facility level of care but can remain safely at home with modifications. Your Regional Resource Development Center handles the intake assessment. We are an enrolled NHTD provider and bill the state directly — you pay nothing out of pocket once approved.

Start at the Staten Island Community VA Clinic at 1150 South Avenue — it’s part of the VA New York Harbor health care system and handles primary care, prescriptions, and HISA referrals without crossing the bridge. The VA HISA grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected disabilities and up to $2,000 for non-service-connected, paid directly to us. Get a prescription from your VA provider and we prefill VA Form 10-0103 the same week. For specialty care, Fort Hamilton VA in Brooklyn is about 20 minutes via the Verrazzano.

MLTC plans cover home modifications including stairlifts for enrolled members who meet nursing-facility level of care. Your MLTC care manager requests authorization from the plan, and approval typically takes 30–45 days. We are credentialed with major New York MLTC plans. Once authorized, we schedule the assessment and install — the plan pays us directly. Many Staten Island seniors already enrolled in MLTC don’t realize stairlifts are a covered benefit.

Yes — three lending partners with 0% APR for qualified buyers and low fixed-rate plans from $79/month. Application is a soft credit pull (no hit to your score), takes about 4 minutes, and approval is usually instant. Many Staten Island families combine financing with the IRS medical deduction to reduce the effective cost. We walk you through the math during the free assessment — on paper, not a tablet screen.
