Expert Stairlift Installation in Westbury, NY

Yes — completely free, no obligation. Luis comes to your Westbury home, measures your stairs, checks tread condition, and gives you a firm written price. The visit takes about an hour and covers every detail: rail length, power source, seat fit, and any stair-specific concerns like tight turns or narrow treads.

Most Westbury installs take 3 to 4 hours — one morning, start to finish. We arrive, bolt the rail to the stair treads (never the wall or drywall), mount the carriage, connect power to a nearby outlet, test the full run, and clean up. Curved rails may add an hour because the custom-bent rail needs more precise alignment. We're usually out by lunch.

No. We bolt the rail directly to the stair treads using five to six lag bolts per section. The holes are small and can be filled and refinished if you ever remove the lift. We never drill into walls, baseboards, or the floors at the landing. If your treads are original oak — common in Salisbury Estates and Westbury North ranches — we take extra care to align the bolts cleanly.

Yes. The narrowest staircase we've fitted in Westbury was 30 inches wide — a prewar Cape off Post Avenue. The rail mounts at the edge of the tread near the wall, and the seat folds to about 14 inches when not in use, leaving clearance at the top and bottom landings. The minimum workable width is roughly 28 inches. We confirm it at the free assessment.

Yes. The VA Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans and up to $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans. It's a one-time, tax-free grant that is never repaid. Westbury veterans apply through the Northport VA Medical Center (79 Middleville Road, Northport, NY 11768) or the East Meadow VA Clinic (2201 Hempstead Turnpike, Building Q, East Meadow, NY 11554). You need a VA primary care provider to sign the medical-necessity form. We help with the paperwork.

Yes, through the NHTD Waiver — New York's Nursing Home Transition and Diversion Waiver. It covers home modifications, including stairlifts, for seniors and adults with physical disabilities who qualify for nursing-home-level care but want to stay home. You enroll through a Medicaid care manager. The TBI Waiver offers similar coverage for traumatic brain injuries. Contact Nassau County DSS or your Medicaid managed-care plan to start enrollment.

Yes. New York State's Access to Home program provides financial assistance for accessibility modifications — including stairlifts — for low- and moderate-income residents with disabilities, administered through local nonprofits and Homes and Community Renewal (HCR). Nassau County also periodically receives federal Older Adult Home Modification grants. Availability rotates by funding cycle, and we can point you to programs that are currently open.

Yes. Financing starts at $79 per month through our partner lenders, with terms that typically run 24 to 60 months and no prepayment penalty. We can run a soft credit check at the assessment that won't affect your score, and you'll know within minutes whether you're approved and at what rate. Many Westbury families combine financing with a HISA grant or NHTD Waiver coverage to lower the out-of-pocket cost.
