Expert Stairlift Installation in Wheaton, MD

Straight rails are 2–4 hours on-site — we arrive, verify measurements from the assessment, bolt the rail into the stair treads (not the wall or banister), mount the chair, test every safety sensor, and walk you through the remotes. Curved rails take 1–2 weeks for digital scan and fabrication but install day is still under 4 hours. For Wheaton's Kemp Mill split-levels with 90° landing turns, we typically have you riding the same afternoon the curved rail arrives.

No. Modern stairlifts bolt into stair treads themselves — the rail is self-supporting and never touches walls, banisters, paint, or millwork. Dozens of pre-1960 Forest Glen, North Kensington, and Garrett Park homes installed without damaging original details. Removal leaves only small pilot holes in tread wood, not spindles or newel posts. Luis photographs the banister condition before and after every Forest Glen install for your records.

Laser-scanned staircases receive curved rails carrying users from entry to upper bedrooms in one ride with swivel-exit seats allowing step-offs onto hallway floors. One ride, zero transfers. The fabrication takes 10–14 days after scanning, but install day is typically under five hours.
