Expert Stairlift Installation in Sunland Park, NM

Most straight stairlift installs take 3 hours. Curved rails take 4–5 hours because the custom-bent rail needs precise fitting. Outdoor units take about 3 hours. Platform lifts take 4–5 hours including electrical work. In all cases, the crew handles everything — you don't need to move furniture or prep the stairs. We bolt the rail to the treads, not the wall, so your drywall stays intact.

Yes. Many homes in Anapra and the older sections of Sunland Park have staircases as narrow as 28 inches. Our straight rail models fit stairs starting at 28 inches wide. The seat folds up when not in use, leaving enough passable width for other family members. Luis checks the width during the assessment and will tell you honestly if it fits.

No. A stairlift is considered a home accessibility modification, not a structural renovation. The rail bolts to the stair treads — no electrical rewiring, no wall demolition, no change to the home's structure. Sunland Park falls under standard New Mexico residential code, which does not require a permit for stairlift installations.

Yes. The rail unbolts from the treads in about 90 minutes. The treads will have small bolt holes — easily filled with wood filler. No damage to walls, no wiring left behind. Many Sunland Park families have us remove the lift when selling and reinstall it at their new place. We also offer removal as a standalone service if you bought the lift outright.

Yes. The HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) 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 benefit that never has to be repaid. Sunland Park veterans are served by the El Paso VA Health Care System — the Las Cruces VA Clinic at 3401 Del Rey Boulevard (phone 575-522-1241) handles the HISA application. Luis helps with the medical-necessity statement your VA primary care provider needs to sign.

New Mexico's Turquoise Care Community Benefit covers environmental modifications — including stairlifts — for members who meet nursing-facility level of care but want to remain at home. The benefit is administered through three managed care organizations: Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Mexico, Presbyterian, and Western Sky. You need prior authorization and a home assessment. The process takes 4–8 weeks. Our team helps with the documentation.

Yes. Housing New Mexico (MFA) runs the Veterans Housing Rehabilitation and Modification Program, which provides accessibility modifications including stairlifts for eligible disabled veterans. Separately, the Older Adult Home Modification Program (OAHMP), funded by HUD and administered by the Non-Metro New Mexico Area Agency on Aging, provides up to $15,000 per household for home modifications for adults 62 and older. Both are income-qualified programs. Luis can walk you through the eligibility requirements.

It's two forms. First, the HISA grant request form (VA Form 10-0103). Second, a medical-necessity statement from your VA primary care provider stating that a stairlift is medically required. Once submitted through the El Paso VA Health Care System — either at the Las Cruces VA Clinic on Del Rey Boulevard or the El Paso VA Clinic on North Piedras Street — approval typically takes 30–45 days. The grant pays the provider directly. Luis has guided dozens of veterans through this paperwork.
