When a staircase becomes a barrier or a threshold limits what’s possible, the right residential lift changes the equation. HomeLift carries and installs the complete range of accessibility lifts across Tennessee and Alabama. No referrals to other dealers, no product gaps that push you elsewhere. One team handles everything from a straight stairlift in a Franklin townhome to a vertical platform lift at a commercial property in Huntsville.
A residential lift does more than solve a staircase problem. It gives a parent the ability to reach every room in the home they’ve lived in for decades. It keeps a multi-generational household connected on every floor and gives the person being supported the dignity of moving through their own home independently. For homeowners across Nashville, Brentwood, Huntsville, and Knoxville planning ahead or responding to a change in mobility, a home lift is one of the most direct paths to aging in place without compromise.
HomeLift installs two core categories of residential lifts. The right one depends on the barrier, the layout of the home, and how the lift needs to function day to day.
HomeLift installs Bruno and Stannah stairlifts for both straight and curved staircases, with equipment suited to a range of home layouts and mobility needs. Most installations are retrofits that don’t require structural modification to your home.
Led by our selection of Cibes vertical platform lifts, HomeLift’s wheelchair lift installations offer a seat-transfer-free solution for level changes at home entries, landings, and raised platforms. Available for residential and applicable commercial projects across Tennessee and Alabama.
Our factory-trained, NAEC-affiliated team has worked through nearly every residential and commercial lift scenario there is, including retrofits in homes not originally designed for a lift. Every installation stays in-house, backed by our Brentwood showroom, the only one of its kind in Middle Tennessee. Our Gold and Silver service contracts cover parts, labor, and scheduled maintenance with a four-business-day response guarantee.
A stairlift carries someone up and down a staircase in a chair mounted to a rail. A wheelchair lift, sometimes called a handicap lift for home use, moves a person and their wheelchair on a platform between levels with no seat transfer required. The decision comes down to whether the person can safely transfer to a stairlift seat and whether the staircase geometry supports the right track configuration. Our team walks through those variables during an initial consultation.
Yes, and most of HomeLift’s stairlift and platform lift work takes place in existing homes. Stairlifts typically require no structural modification; they mount to the stair treads and connect to a standard outlet. Vertical platform lift feasibility depends on available floor space at both landings and headroom clearance. HomeLift assesses all of that during the initial site visit before recommending a product or providing a timeline.
Requirements vary by lift type and jurisdiction. Residential stairlift installations typically involve minimal permitting, but local building department requirements can vary. Vertical platform lifts used in commercial settings are subject to state elevator code enforcement in Tennessee and Alabama and must meet configuration requirements for that installation type. HomeLift manages permit applications and coordinates required inspections as part of every installation, so you’re not navigating that process on your own.
HomeLift offers two bolt-on service contracts for residential lifts after installation. The Gold contract covers parts and labor, including batteries, circuit boards, push buttons, and door operators, with three annual service calls and a four-business-day response guarantee. The Silver contract covers labor under the same service call structure. Both are available for stairlifts and vertical platform lifts installed by HomeLift and are selected after the lift is placed, not bundled into the installation cost.
For stairlifts, HomeLift carries Bruno and Stannah, including the Stannah Starla, Siena, and Sadler for straight and curved staircase applications. For vertical platform lifts, HomeLift installs the Cibes Primo for residential and applicable commercial projects, and Bruno for residential applications across Tennessee and Alabama. HomeLift also provides service and modernization work on lifts from other manufacturers; reach out if you have an existing unit that needs attention.
