Need a lift? If climbing your stairs has become difficult due to limited mobility for chronic illness, a stair lift might be the right solution. Installing a stair lift is a quick and affordable way to help you remain independent in your home and can even be used to assist with tasks such as carrying items like folded laundry or meals from floor to floor.
How much does a stair lift cost?
Straight stair lifts with installation start at $2,200 for used units and $3,000 for new units or as little as $49.50/month with no down payment for qualified buyers, which includes warranty and in-home consultation.
Curved rail stair lifts will vary in price, but typically cost between $9,500 and $16,000 installed and includes a custom built a rail that will fit the precise dimensions of your staircase.
Rental options start $1,095 and include the first 3 months of rental, installation and removal.
