Expert Stairlift Installation in Tucker, GA

A straight stairlift takes about three hours, curved lifts five to six hours, and outdoor lifts roughly four. No construction is required — the rail bolts to the treads, not the walls. Every install includes cleanup, five test runs, and operator training until you're comfortable.

No. The rail mounts to the treads with bolts and never touches the wall or handrail. Bolt holes fill with wood putty in about fifteen minutes on removal, and the drywall stays untouched. On hardwood treads the bolt pattern is guided to stay clean; on carpeted stairs the bolts go through the carpet and pad into the wood below.

Yes. Pre-war Tucker homes near Main Street can have staircases just 30–32 inches wide, and compact rail models fit without modification. The seat, armrests and footrest fold up so the stairs stay walkable when the lift isn't in use. Luis measures at three points to confirm fit before ordering.

Yes. Every stairlift includes battery backup at no extra charge. The 4Ah battery runs the lift for about six hours of normal use — enough for a full day during a Georgia summer-storm outage — and recharges automatically when power returns.

Yes. Georgia's Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program (EDWP) — formerly the Community Care Services Program — covers home modifications including stairlifts, with a $10,000 lifetime cap for home mods. You must be Medicaid-eligible, need a nursing-home level of care, and choose home services. Contact the DeKalb Area Agency on Aging through Empowerline for the assessment.

Yes. The Georgia Department of Community Affairs runs a Home Access Program that funds home modifications for people with disabilities. Long-term-care insurance policies often cover durable medical equipment, including stairlifts. Beyond that, our financing starts at $79/month, and we accept major credit cards, checks, and bank transfers.

Call Empowerline at (404) 463-3333 — the DeKalb County Area Agency on Aging handles EDWP intake for Tucker residents. A case manager schedules a functional assessment to determine the nursing-home level-of-care requirement; if approved, a care coordinator authorizes the home modification. The process usually takes six to eight weeks. Luis provides the product specs and cost breakdown the program requires.
