What is the process for buying a stairlift or elevator?


It starts with a conversation. One of our experienced team members will talk with you about your needs, your space, and your goals to help determine the best solution for you. From there, we’ll provide clear pricing, estimated lead times, and next steps—no guesswork, no pressure.

Stair Lift Installation time depends on the type of equipment:

  • Straight stair lifts can typically be installed in just a few hours.
  • Curved stair lifts usually take one to several days due to custom fabrication and fitting.
  • Vertical platform lifts and elevators may take multiple days, depending on the scope of the project
  • We’ll always give you a realistic timeline upfront.
Yes. We offer a one-year lease program, as well as rental options for straight stair lifts only. Our team can help you decide whether purchasing, leasing, or renting makes the most sense for your situation.
Safety features vary by product, but all of our equipment is designed with safety as a top priority. Depending on the model, features may include seatbelts, obstruction sensors, emergency stop functions, and battery backup. A member of our team will review the specific safety features of your selected product to ensure you and others are protected.

Maintenance depends on the product and how often it’s used. In most cases, we recommend annual or bi-annual preventative maintenance to keep your equipment operating safely and smoothly.

Yes. We have solutions designed to fit most staircases, including narrow, steep, or curved layouts. Our team will evaluate your staircase and recommend the best option for your space.

A vertical platform lift (also known as a VPL wheelchair platform lift) is designed to transport a user in their wheelchair vertically between porch decks, landings, or floors. It serves as a heavy-duty wheelchair lift for home access, whereas residential elevators (such as a Pollock home elevator, Cambridge elevator, or Cambrian residential elevator) offer enclosed, full-cabin transport between multiple levels.
