How long does installation take in The Colony?

A straight stairlift in a typical Colony home takes about 2–3 hours from arrival to cleanup. Curved rails take longer — usually 4–6 hours — and an outdoor unit adds about half an hour for weather-sealing.

Will installation damage my stairs or walls?

No. The rail mounts directly to the stair treads with bolts, not to the wall. On carpet, the fibers close back over the small holes; there's no drywall damage. When a lift is later removed, the tread holes fill cleanly.

Can you install on the narrow staircases in older Colony homes?

Yes. Many 1970s–80s South Colony and Legend Trails homes have tighter stairs. A slim-rail configuration keeps the folded seat within about 11–13 inches of the wall, leaving room to walk past.

Do I need a permit for a stairlift in The Colony?

No. A stairlift is classified as a home accessibility device, not a structural modification, so no City of The Colony building permit is required. The rail attaches to the existing staircase.

Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Denton County

Denton County, TX

We install across The Colony's distinct subdivisions. Stewart Peninsula and The Tribute hold the newer lakeside customs, where wide entry stairs and landing turns often call for a curved rail. Austin Waters and Ridgepointe have compact 1990s two-stories with tile or tight straight runs that take a slim-rail straight lift. The original 1970s–80s South Colony and Legend Trails homes — many Fox & Jacobs builds — usually have a standard straight staircase ideal for a treads-mounted rail. We also serve nearby Lewisville, Little Elm, Frisco, Carrollton, Highland Village, and Plano across Denton County.

The kinds of staircases and installs we see across The Colony's older and newer homes alike. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.

The rail went in clean — bolted straight into the treads, no wall damage at all, and the whole job was under three hours. The remote call button on the landing is what sold me; I can send the seat back down for my husband.

Two-week fabrication for the curved rail, but it fit like it grew there. The seat swivels at the top so my dad steps onto solid floor instead of toward the drop. Luis walked us through every step.

Three-hour install on our tile stairs. My father-in-law used it the same afternoon to get upstairs for his granddaughter's birthday. Bolt-through mounting and not a single cracked tile.

Two other companies said our outdoor steps couldn't be done. Luis sealed a weatherproof rail along eight stone steps in about three hours. He also told us about the HISA grant since I'm a service-connected vet — it covered $6,800.

The battery backup runs about six hours, so it kept working through the January ice storm when our power blinked. Two-hour install on carpet, and the seat matches the stair tone almost exactly.

We needed a platform lift for my brother's wheelchair, not a seat. Luis installed it indoors with the yellow safety edges and it folds flat when the rest of us use the stairs. Five hours, done right.

Common Questions

Everything The Colony 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 in The Colony?

A straight stairlift for a standard Colony home runs from $2,800 installed. Curved lifts start at $9,000 — the exact price depends on the number of turns and the rail length needed for your staircase.

Are there hidden costs on a Colony installation?

No. The price Luis quotes at your free assessment is the price you pay. It covers the rail, seat, battery backup, and labor. Most homes need no electrical work — the unit plugs into a standard outlet.

Does insurance cover a stairlift in The Colony?

Most private insurance and Original Medicare don't cover stairlifts, since they're classed as home modifications rather than durable medical equipment. Texas Medicaid's STAR+PLUS program can cover home modifications up to a $7,500 lifetime cap for eligible enrollees.

What financing options exist for The Colony homeowners?

Financing starts at $79 a month with approved credit, on 12- and 24-month terms with no prepayment penalty. Veterans may also qualify for the VA HISA grant — up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans — which can cover most or all of a straight-rail install.

How does the VA HISA grant work for veterans in The Colony?

The VA Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant provides up to $6,800 for veterans with service-connected disabilities, or $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans. It's one-time, tax-free, and never repaid. The nearest VA facility is the Denton VA Clinic at 2223 Colorado Blvd, Denton, TX 76205.

Does Texas STAR+PLUS cover stairlifts?

Yes, for eligible members. STAR+PLUS can cover minor home modifications, including stairlifts, up to a $7,500 lifetime cap. You must be enrolled in STAR+PLUS and have the stairlift documented in your service plan as medically necessary.

Are there Denton County grants for stairlifts?

Denton County doesn't run a dedicated stairlift grant. The primary funding sources for Colony homeowners are the VA HISA grant, Texas STAR+PLUS Medicaid, and in-house financing from $79 a month.

How fast can I get funded and installed in The Colony?

For private-pay and financing, straight lifts usually go in within the same week. Curved rails take about 2–3 weeks for fabrication. VA HISA applications typically take 2–4 weeks to approve before we schedule the install.

A word from Luis

I've measured stairs in just about every corner of The Colony — the original 1970s Fox & Jacobs homes off South Colony Boulevard, the newer builds out at The Tribute with their curved staircases looking over Lewisville Lake. The older ranch-style two-stories usually take a straight rail bolted right to the treads; the lakeside customs more often need a curved rail bent to a landing turn.
If your mom or dad lives here and the stairs are getting to be a problem, call me. I'll come out, measure, and give you a real number — no sales pitch, just a neighbor who knows these houses.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

The Colony spreads along the eastern shore of Lewisville Lake, with homes built in waves since 1973. Each pocket — from Stewart Peninsula's custom lakeside builds to the newer construction at The Tribute — brings its own staircase geometry. We install to the treads, so there's no wall mounting and no drywall to repair afterward.

Call (800) 965-0350 for a free in-home assessment anywhere in The Colony. Luis measures your stairs, checks the outlet, and gives you a firm same-day quote — no pressure and no follow-up calls if you're not ready.
