Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Miami-Dade County

Miami-Dade County, FL

Westwood Lakes spans roughly a square mile between SW 40th Street and SW 56th Street, from the Florida Turnpike east to SW 102nd Avenue. The Tropical Estates area along SW 48th Street sits near the community park and public pool. Lakefront properties wrap around Westwood Lake South, the 61-acre lake at the center of the CDP. Homes along the Bird Road corridor tend to be the Mackle-built originals from 1955 — compact ranches with the original hardwood treads still in place. We also serve bordering communities: Westchester to the north, Olympia Heights to the east, Kendale Lakes to the south, and Tamiami just across the Turnpike.

Real stories from families across Miami-Dade County — drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below. Every review came from a verified customer.

We bought our house off SW 48th Street in 1978 and never wanted to leave. When my husband's knee replacement made the stairs too much, Luis came out and measured. Said it was a textbook Mackle staircase — straight shot, 13 treads, original oak. The install took three hours, the rail is barely noticeable, and my husband can get to the bedroom without me having to walk behind him. Luis even showed us how to work the battery backup in case of a hurricane outage.

Luis installed a curved lift in our lakefront home near Westwood Lake South. Our staircase has a 90-degree turn at the landing and I was worried nothing would fit. He did the laser measurement, showed us the CAD drawing, and three weeks later the rail went in perfectly. Everything runs quiet — my mother-in-law uses it three times a day and the whole unit has been trouble-free for eight months now.

I live in one of the older ranch homes on the Bird Road corridor. Narrow staircase, maybe 33 inches. Luis came out and said it would fit, and it did — the seat folds up tight against the rail so there's still room to walk past. My daughter can stop worrying every time I go upstairs. The financing at $79 a month made the decision easy.

Had an outdoor lift put on the front stoop of our house near the Turnpike. Four steps up from the driveway, no roof cover, full south Florida sun. Luis recommended the weather-sealed model with the marine-grade seat. It's been through a full rainy season and still runs like new. The IP55 rating isn't marketing — the thing is genuinely sealed against the humidity and rain.

We installed a platform lift for my brother who uses a wheelchair. Two-story house near Cypress K-8, and we couldn't figure out how he'd access the upstairs bathroom. Luis recommended the inclined platform — flat black deck, yellow safety edges, fits right on the existing staircase. The platform folds up when not in use. My brother can get upstairs independently for the first time in three years.

Got a straight lift installed in our renovated three-bedroom off SW 102nd. Porcelain tile treads from a 2019 remodel — I was worried the anchors would crack them. Luis used a different mounting system and not a single tile was damaged. The whole job was done by 11:30 a.m. My dad uses the lift every night and says he can't hear the motor from the living room.

Common Questions

Everything Westwood Lakes 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 Westwood Lakes?

A straight stairlift in Westwood Lakes starts at $2,800 installed. Curved lifts — common in the larger homes near the lakes and along SW 56th Street — start at $9,000. Outdoor porch lifts start at $4,000. The price includes the on-site measurement, the rail, the seat, installation, and a lifetime warranty on the rail. Most Mackle-built originals from the 1950s take a straight rail at the lower end of the price range.

Is financing available for Westwood Lakes residents?

Yes. Financing starts at $79 per month. We run applications during the in-home assessment — most Westwood Lakes homeowners hear back within 10 minutes. No prepayment penalty, no balloon payment.

Does the $2,800 price include installation and the rail?

Yes. The $2,800 straight-lift price covers the full install — the rail, the seat, the labor, and a 5-year parts warranty plus a lifetime rail warranty. We don't separate the install fee from the equipment cost. If your Westwood Lakes home has a landing turn, you're looking at a curved lift from $9,000, which also includes the laser measurement, fabrication, and full installation.

What makes a curved stairlift more expensive in Westwood Lakes?

Every curved rail is a one-off — bent to your staircase after a laser measurement that maps every tread and the exact turn radius. The larger lots near Westwood Lake South and the expanded ranches off SW 48th Street often have staircases with a mid-flight landing or a 90-degree turn at the top. The fabrication alone takes 2-3 weeks after measurement. The measurement visit takes about an hour and is free.

How long does a stairlift installation take in Westwood Lakes?

Most straight-rail installs in Westwood Lakes take 3 hours. The rail bolts to the stair treads — not the wall — so the drywall stays intact. Curved lifts take 4 to 5 hours because the pre-bent rail sections need to be aligned precisely at the turns. We schedule around your day; Luis usually arrives by 9 a.m. and the lift is running before lunch.

Will drilling into my stairs damage my home?

No. The rail bolts directly into the treads with five to seven anchor points. We don't touch the walls, the banister, or the drywall. In the 1950s Mackle-built homes with original oak treads, the wood is thick enough to hold the anchors without any reinforcement. If your treads are tile — common in Westwood Lakes homes that were renovated — we use a different anchor system that grips without cracking the tile.

Can you install on the narrow staircases in older Westwood Lakes homes?

Yes. The original Mackle ranches from 1955 often have staircases as narrow as 32 inches. Our slimline rail fits 30-inch-wide stairs. The seat folds up against the rail when not in use, leaving 20-plus inches of walking clearance. We measure the exact width during the free assessment — if your staircase is narrower than 30 inches, a platform lift might be the better option.

Do I need a permit for a stairlift in unincorporated Miami-Dade?

No permit is required for a stairlift installation in Westwood Lakes. Stairlifts are classified as accessibility equipment, not structural modifications. They bolt to the treads, not the framing, so they don't trigger Miami-Dade building code review. The whole job is done in one visit.

Does the VA HISA grant cover stairlifts for Westwood Lakes veterans?

Yes. The VA's Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant provides up to $6,800 for veterans with service-connected disabilities and up to $2,000 for non-service-connected conditions. This is a one-time, tax-free benefit — never repaid. Westwood Lakes veterans can apply through the Bruce W. Carter VA Medical Center at 1201 NW 16th Street in Miami or the William 'Bill' Kling VA Clinic at 1492 W Flagler Street. We help with the paperwork during the home assessment.

Does Florida Medicaid cover stairlifts in Westwood Lakes?

Florida's SMMC-LTC program (Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care) can cover home modifications — including stairlifts — for Medicaid-eligible seniors who qualify for long-term care services. Coverage decisions are made by the individual managed care plan. A physician's statement documenting medical necessity is required, and the stairlift must be deemed the least-costly way to keep the person safely at home rather than in a facility.

Are there Miami-Dade County programs for home modifications?

Yes. In 2025, Miami-Dade County approved a HUD Older Adults Home Modification Grant totaling approximately $1.99 million. The program funds low-cost home modifications — including stairlifts — for low-income older adults in the county. Eligibility is income-based. Call the county's housing office or ask us during the assessment and we can help determine if you qualify.

Does Medicare cover stairlift costs?

No. Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover stairlifts. Medicare classifies stairlifts as home modifications, not durable medical equipment. Some Medicare Advantage plans offer supplemental home-modification benefits — check your plan's evidence of coverage. The three funding sources that do cover Westwood Lakes stairlifts are the VA HISA grant ($6,800), Florida SMMC-LTC Medicaid, and the Miami-Dade HUD Older Adults grant.

A word from Luis

Westwood Lakes is one of those Miami-Dade pockets where people don't leave. I've put lifts into Mackle-built ranch homes from 1955 where the original owner still lives, and into renovated three-bedrooms where a younger family just moved in to be near the grandparents. The homes here share a common build pattern — the staircase almost always runs up one side of the living area, usually with a turn at the landing. Straight rail fits about two-thirds of these houses. The rest need a curved rail bent after our laser measurement, which takes about an hour on site.
The freshwater lakes give this neighborhood its character, but they also mean the water table is high and the ground settles over time. I always double-check the tread leveling on older homes off SW 48th Street and near Westwood Lake South — a 70-year-old staircase can shift enough to throw off a rail fit by a quarter inch. We correct for it during the install, takes an extra 20 minutes, no added charge.
If you're near Tropical Estates Park or over by the Turnpike side, give me a call. I know these houses. I know which staircases need a short rail, which ones need the 16-footer, and which Mackle originals still have the original oak treads solid enough to bolt into without reinforcement.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Westwood Lakes has been a quiet anchor in west Miami-Dade since the Mackle brothers finished their first 150 homes in 1955. The neighborhood hasn't changed much — still the same freshwater lakes, still the same mature oaks shading SW 48th Street, still the same families passing houses down instead of selling. When a staircase starts to get difficult, the question here isn't whether to move. It's whether to put in a straight rail on the original oak treads or a curved one around the landing.

Call Luis at the number above or email [email protected]. He's measured and installed lifts in this CDP for over 15 years — he can tell from one photo whether your staircase is a standard Mackle build that takes a 14-foot straight rail or one of the expanded ranches off SW 56th that needs the full curved treatment.
