Get a stair elevator quote

A stair elevator, or stairlift, is a seat on a rail up your stairs. Three questions, then a local installer calls about a free visit.

Most cost $2,500 to $5,000 installed on straight stairs, $8,000 to $12,000 on stairs that turn (NCOA figures).

Stair Elevator is a referral service, not an installer. Your request goes to installers who work in your ZIP code. How we handle your details.

What are your stairs like?

Pick the closest one. After this: the ZIP code, then a name and phone number.

Where is the house?
Who should the installer call?

By sending this, you agree that Stair Elevator and stair lift installers who work in your ZIP code may phone or text you about a stair elevator on the number you entered, including with automated technology. You do not need to give this consent to buy anything.

What happens after you ask for a stair elevator quote?

Installer measuring a staircase at a home visit for a stair elevator quote
  1. A local installer phones the number you entered, most often within a working day.
  2. You talk through the stairs and who will use the lift, and agree a time for a short measuring visit.
  3. The written price follows that visit.

The quote is free, and you do not have to buy. You are welcome to get prices from more than one installer. Medicare does not pay for a stair lift; see who can help pay.

Before you send your number

How many installers will call me?

Usually one, sometimes two, so you can compare. Each works in your ZIP code.

Is my number sold to anyone else?

We do not sell it to marketers or lists. Your stair details and phone number go to the one or two local installers who get your request, and those installers pay us for the introduction. You can stop further sharing on the do not sell or share page.

How soon could a lift be in?

Fitting a straight lift usually takes a few hours. A curved rail has to be made for your stairs first, so it takes longer.

Will a lift fit my stairs?

Most chairs need stairs at least 26 to 28 inches wide and carry about 300 pounds; heavy-duty ones carry more. The installer measures both at the visit. Each chair also runs on batteries, so a power cut will not leave you stuck.

Which kind of lift will I need?

That depends on your stairs: see the types of stair elevators and what each one costs. The installer confirms it at the visit.

What if buying costs too much?

Ask the installer about renting a stair lift or a used straight one. Some states, Medicaid home care programs and VA grants can also help; see who helps pay.
