Expert Stairlift Installation in West Jordan, UT

Straight rails are 2 to 4 hours on-site — we arrive, confirm measurements, bolt the rail into the stair treads, mount the seat, test every safety sensor, and walk you through the remotes and battery backup. Curved rails require 10 to 14 days for fabrication after the laser scan, but install day itself is still under 5 hours. No overnight crews, no multi-day disruption.

Yes — the 1990s colonials across Jordan Oaks, Oquirrh Highlands, and the newer sections of West Jordan frequently have a 90-degree turn at the upper landing. We laser-scan the full geometry during the first visit, fabricate a single continuous curved rail, and install a swivel-exit seat at the top so you step off onto the hallway floor. One ride, no transfers, no second lift. This is one of our most common installs across the southwest valley.

No. Carpeted stairs are the majority in West Jordan’s 1990s housing stock. We mount through the carpet into the tread below using countersunk bolts. The carpet fibers close around each bolt head. If you ever remove the lift, you re-stretch or patch two small circles per bracket — invisible under any mid-grade plush or Berber. The carpet runner on Mrs. Larsen’s Oquirrh Highlands stairs is still untouched after six months.

For an interior stairlift, no. West Jordan follows the IRC and treats stairlifts as equipment bolted to existing stair treads, not structural modification — no building permit required. If your home needs a new dedicated electrical circuit because of older wiring, that circuit requires a city electrical permit pulled by a DOPL-licensed electrician. We handle the permit on your behalf. The only other scenario is HOA approval in deed-restricted communities — we file the accommodation paperwork at no charge.

Yes, through the New Choices Waiver, a Medicaid HCBS waiver administered by the Utah Department of Health and Human Services. Stairlifts qualify as environmental accessibility adaptations when documented in the individualized care plan. Eligibility: Utah resident, age 65+ or adult with physical disability, Medicaid-eligible, currently in or at risk of nursing facility placement. Call 1-800-662-9651 to start the process. Once your case manager is assigned, name us as the chosen provider — we handle the authorization paperwork from there.

The VA Salt Lake City Health Care System at 500 Foothill Drive processes HISA grants for the entire Intermountain West catchment. HISA covers up to $6,800 for service-connected disabilities and up to $2,000 for non-service-connected, paid directly to us after a prescription from your VA provider. Hill Air Force Base in Ogden generates steady retiree demand across the Wasatch Front — HISA is our second-most-used funding route in Utah after private pay. We prefill VA Form 10-0103 for you and walk the paperwork through the Salt Lake VA office.

Yes. Utah’s six regional Centers for Independent Living administer home modification grants for adults with documented disabilities. The Salt Lake area center is the Utah Independent Living Center (UILC) at (801) 466-5565. Additionally, if a licensed physician recommends the stairlift in writing, the IRS classifies it as a qualified medical expense under Schedule A — Utah conforms to the federal treatment on state returns, so the deduction reduces both federal and state taxable income for households that itemize.

Yes — three lending partners with 0% APR for qualified buyers and low fixed-rate plans from $79 per month. The application is a soft credit pull — no hit to your score — takes about four minutes, and approval is usually instant. Many West Jordan families combine financing with a partial HISA grant or the IRS medical deduction to bring the effective monthly cost down further. We walk you through the math at the kitchen table during the free assessment.
