Get matched with top stair service pros in Alanreed, TX

Home elevators are safe, but you should first get a home inspection to install an elevator properly. Safety codes ensure that a pro installs your elevator properly and safely. You’ll also need to apply for a building permit. 

If you want the elevator to be more secure, you’ll want to add overrides or safety devices. Many of these precautions are included in the elevator price, although some may cost an additional $2,500.

Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover stair lifts, but you might be able to get financial assistance through Medicaid. Private insurance may also cover the cost.

Clean the track regularly, check batteries, and schedule professional servicing annually to ensure safe operation.

The average cost to install a stair lift ranges from $2,000 to $20,000, depending on the type of stair lift. Other cost factors include the stair lift length, style, location, weight capacity, comfort options like padding and footrests, and power source. 

Labor costs also impact the overall price. Always hire a pro for projects that require technical know-how, electrical work, and installation of heavy moving parts, as they can be too complicated or dangerous for DIYers. While stair lifts are an investment, they can be an affordable way to make your home accessible.
