How long does installation take?

A straight lift installs in about 3 hours, a curved rail in 4 to 6 hours, and an outdoor lift on a sloped hillside lot may add an hour for concrete anchoring. Most Tano Road jobs are completed same-week after the free assessment.

Will the install damage my adobe or stucco walls?

No. The rail bolts to the stair treads, not the walls, so there is no penetration of adobe, stucco, or plaster. If the lift is ever removed, the tread holes are wood-plugged and stained to match.

Can you fit a lift on a narrow Tano Road adobe staircase?

Yes. The rail needs about 28 inches of width and the seat folds to roughly 12 inches. Most Tano Norte and Tano Alto adobes have 32 to 36 inch stairs. Luis confirms the exact fit during the free in-home assessment.

How does an outdoor install hold up at 7,000 feet?

The outdoor rail is powder-coated steel with UV-resistant seals and an IP55-rated, weather-sealed control housing. It mounts to a concrete pad or stone steps, handles temperatures down to about -20°F, and resists the freeze-thaw cycles common on Tano Road hillsides.

Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Santa Fe County

Santa Fe County, NM

We cover every section of the Tano Road corridor northwest of Santa Fe. Along Tano Norte, Tano Alto, and Tano West, 1980s and 1990s adobe homes on large lots often have a hillside lower level reached by stone or oak stairs. In Monte Sereno, newer custom homes lean on split-level builds with 90-degree landing turns that suit a curved rail. The estates off Camino de los Montoyas and San Juan Ranch Road tend to sit above the driveway, so an outdoor lift to the front portal is common. We also serve nearby Las Dos, La Tierra, and Aldea de Santa Fe, where flagstone treads and tile floors call for tread-mounted rails that never touch a wall.

What a stairlift project looks like for families in Tano Road and nearby Santa Fe County. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.

The rail bolts straight to our oak treads, not the adobe walls, so there's no damage anywhere. Luis measured one afternoon and the crew was installed three days later. Quiet, smooth, and exactly what we needed for the upper level.

Our custom home has a curved staircase that wraps a half-wall. Luis laser-measured it, the rail came in about two weeks, and the install took a single morning. My mother-in-law can finally reach the guest suite on her own.

We needed an outdoor lift up to the front portal — thirteen stone steps from the drive. Two winters of snow and freeze-thaw and it still works like new, zero rust on the rail. Luis spec'd the right sealed unit for our elevation.

Luis handled the VA HISA paperwork from start to finish. My husband is a Navy veteran and the $6,800 grant covered the whole straight-lift install — nothing out of pocket for us. Honest, no upsell, and respectful of our home.

Short straight rail down to our lower level, installed within a week of the assessment. Luis told us plainly we didn't need the heavy-duty model and saved us money. The seat folds out of the way so the stairwell still feels open.

The rail mounts to the treads only, so our flagstone and tile were untouched. About a three-hour install, and the seat fabric blends right in with the carpet on the lower flight. Quiet enough that you barely hear it run.

Common Questions

Everything Tano Road Homeowners Actually Ask

Straight answers about cost, installation, and funding, no sales fluff. Browse by topic or call us if you have a question that isn't here.

What does a stairlift cost on Tano Road?

Straight stairlifts start at $2,800 installed, curved lifts from $9,000, outdoor from $4,000, and heavy-duty from $5,050. The price covers the rail, seat, installation, and a 5-year warranty with a lifetime rail guarantee. Financing starts at $79/month. There is no travel fee for Tano Road addresses.

Are there hidden fees for hillside or dirt-road homes?

No. The quoted price includes the rail, seat, hardware, full installation, cleanup, and a demonstration. There is no trip charge, mileage fee, or surcharge for the long private drives and dirt-road access common off Tano Norte and San Juan Ranch Road.

Why do curved lifts cost more than straight ones in Monte Sereno?

Straight lifts use a standard rail, so they run $2,800 to about $4,500 depending on length. Curved lifts are custom-fabricated after a laser measurement of your exact landings and turns, which is why split-level Monte Sereno homes usually start near $9,000.

Can I finance a stairlift on Tano Road?

Yes. Financing starts at $79/month with no early-payoff penalty. Many Tano Road owners combine financing with the VA HISA grant (up to $6,800) or New Mexico's Turquoise Care Community Benefit to lower or eliminate the out-of-pocket cost.

Does the VA cover stairlift costs for Tano Road veterans?

Yes, through the VA's HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) grant. Service-connected veterans can receive up to $6,800, one-time and tax-free with no repayment; non-service-connected veterans can receive up to $2,000. Apply through the Santa Fe VA Clinic at 5152 Beckner Road or the Raymond G. Murphy VA Medical Center in Albuquerque at 1501 San Pedro Drive SE.

Does New Mexico Medicaid cover stairlifts?

Yes. The Turquoise Care Community Benefit, New Mexico's Medicaid home and community-based program, covers environmental modifications including stairlifts for members who qualify for a nursing-facility level of care. A physician's medical-necessity statement and prior authorization are required; your Turquoise Care managed-care plan administers the benefit.

Are there grants for non-veteran seniors on Tano Road?

Yes. New Mexico's Residential Accessibility Modification Program (RAMP), run by the Governor's Commission on Disability, and the Older Adult Home Modification Program for residents 62 and older both help fund accessibility work. Both have income guidelines and waiting lists, so it is worth applying early.

How do I start the funding process?

Begin with the free in-home assessment. Luis brings the paperwork — VA HISA Form 10-0103, the Turquoise Care environmental-modification template, and the RAMP application — and helps you gather a medical-necessity statement from your doctor or VA provider. VA and Medicaid decisions usually take 30 to 60 days.

A word from Luis

I've measured staircases on more Tano Road estates than I can count — the 1980s adobes off Tano Norte with tight switchback stairs, and the big contemporary homes in Monte Sereno where a curved rail has to wrap a 90-degree landing. Out here the lots run two to twenty acres, so most homes have a full second story or a lower level cut into the hillside.
What surprises people is how many of these owners qualify for funding. The VA's HISA grant covers up to $6,800, and I've had veterans off Camino de los Montoyas and along San Juan Ranch Road get an entire straight-lift install paid for. New Mexico's Turquoise Care Community Benefit can cover the rest for those who qualify.
