Stairlift Installation
HomeLift installs Bruno and Stannah stairlifts for homeowners who’ve decided they’re staying in the house, stairs and all.
Stay in Your Home, Even After the Stairs Become a Challenge.
The trigger is usually specific: a recent surgery, a fall, or a gradual shift in mobility that’s made the stairs a daily obstacle. For homeowners who aren’t ready to move, a stairlift puts every floor of the home back in reach without major renovation or construction. HomeLift carries Bruno and Stannah stairlifts across Middle Tennessee and northern Alabama and handles both the installation and the service long after the unit goes live.
Four Decades of Local Stairlift Experience Behind Every Install
Every stairlift installation we complete is backed by NAEC affiliation and nearly 40 years of working in homes across Tennessee and Alabama. We’ve handled every staircase configuration the region produces, from standard straight runs in newer Williamson County builds to fully custom curved fabrications in historic Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, and Chattanooga homes. That depth of experience shows up in how we assess a staircase, spec the right unit, and handle whatever the install uncovers.
Straight or Curved Stairlift, Matched to Your Staircase
The shape of your staircase determines which stairlift type is compatible. A straight staircase and a curved one require entirely different rail systems, and we install both.
Straight Stairlifts
If your staircase runs in a single direction from bottom to top without any curves, bends, or landings, a straight stairlift is the fit.
- Single-run staircase with no curves, turns, or intermediate landings
- Rail configured to your exact staircase measurements before anything ships
- Bruno and Stannah straight models available
- Power swivel seat, retractable seatbelt, and remote controls standard
Curved Stairlifts
If your staircase has a curve, a bend, an intermediate landing, or any configuration that changes the direction of the rail, a curved stairlift is the right option.
- Curved, angled, or multi-landing staircases of any configuration
- Rail custom-fabricated to match your staircase’s specific geometry
- Bruno and Stannah curved models available
- Power swivel seat, retractable seatbelt, and remote controls standard
Post-Install Coverage on Every Stairlift We Complete
A stairlift for elderly homeowners or family members aging in place is only as reliable as the service behind it. Our Gold Extended Service Contract covers parts and labor, including three service calls per year and a guaranteed four-business-day response. It’s available on every stairlift installation we complete, and the team servicing the unit is the same local team that installed it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a straight stairlift install faster than a curved stairlift?
Straight stairlift installations move faster because the rail is configured to your staircase measurements rather than custom-built. Curved installations require a fabricated rail and carry a longer lead time between assessment and installation.
How do I know whether I need a stairlift or a through-the-floor elevator?
A chair lift for the stairs is the right fit when the staircase is the primary obstacle and the homeowner can use the seat independently. A through-the-floor elevator is a better solution when mobility is more significantly limited, wheelchair access is needed, or the goal is full vertical transport between floors rather than assisted stair use. We help make that call during the in-home consultation.
Can a stairlift be removed if it’s no longer needed?
Yes. The rail mounts to the stair treads with hardware that can be uninstalled without structural damage to the staircase. Some homeowners add a stairlift following a surgery or injury and have it removed once mobility returns. Removal doesn’t require significant repair work to the staircase afterward.
