Expert Stairlift Installation in Statesville, NC

Most straight-rail installs take 3 to 4 hours from arrival to cleanup. Curved rails — which arrive pre-bent from the factory after measurement — typically take 4 to 6 hours. We bolt the rail directly to the stair treads, not the wall, so your drywall stays intact. The crew leaves nothing behind except the lift, the manual, and the remote controls.

No. We mount the rail to the treads with five bolts per bracket — no wall drilling, no drywall damage. For Academy Hill and Mitchell College Historic District homes with original hardwood treads, we use a padded mounting system that doesn't mar the wood. If you ever remove the lift, the bolt holes are easily plugged and finished to match.

Stairlifts are classified as appliance installations in North Carolina, not structural modifications, so a building permit is not required. If you live in an HOA community like Larkin Golf Club or Wallace Springs, we help you submit the architectural-review form — it's one page and typically approved within a week.

Yes. We carry slim-profile rails that fit staircases as narrow as 28 inches. The seat and armrests fold up when not in use, leaving 18 inches of clear walking space — enough for other household members to use the stairs comfortably. We measure your exact stair width during the free assessment and confirm fit before ordering.
