Stairlifts
The Stairlift Store is the premier provider of high-quality stairlifts in Houston, and surrounding areas. Our vast selection of stairlifts (also known as chair lift) includes all of the major manufacturers, including Acorn, Bruno, Handicare, Harmar, Savaria, and Stannah. Compare pricing before considering a private label stairlift: a private label stairlift is one made by a major manufacturer but marketed by a different name by some dealers. Our products and services provide you with the safety and comfort you need to enjoy your home again.
We make it easy and convenient to schedule a free in-home consultation. One of our Certified Accessibility Specialists will come to your home to evaluate your needs and your home to be able to recommend the best stairlift for you. The recommendations will be based on your height, weight, hand dexterity, balance, ability to transfer, knee flexibility, ability to turn a chair, and upper trunk stability. We will evaluate your home by measuring your stairs, determining if there are any bends and turns, looking at the top and bottom landing to check for rail clearances to prevent tripping hazards, checking for the overhead clearance, and checking for the location of the closest electrical outlet.
Don’t worry we will not be with you all day. Depending on your questions, the entire process takes between thirty minutes and an hour. This is an investment that is meant to make the rest of your life easier and more enjoyable. We want to help you choose the best chair lifts for you and your family the first time.
