The stair lift installation process (step-by-step)
Installing a Leaf Home stair lift is a simple process that begins with an in-home consultation and ends with a custom-built solution designed for your stairs and specific needs. Each system includes a custom rail design created for your home’s layout, with minimal home modification required. The rail mounts directly to the stairs, not the wall, so your home stays intact and the lift feels like a natural part of your space.
Your Leaf Home technicians start with a full in-home assessment, taking precise measurements to ensure the perfect fit for your staircase and landings.
We design and prepare your lift to match your staircase layout, power needs, and comfort preferences, whether you need a straight or curved stair lift. During your consultation, our team will walk you through safety controls and features.
After installation, your technicians check every control and safety feature to be sure everything runs smoothly. The lift is tested for safety and proper operation, and you’ll receive a safety certificate once it’s complete.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The Comfort Lift Straight Stair Lift is designed for narrow staircases, folding to just 10.5 inches when not in use. It fits stairways as narrow as 29 inches, making it one of the most compact and space-efficient options available.
No. The rail attaches directly to the stair treads, not the wall, so there’s no need for construction or remodeling. Your installer will ensure your home stays clean and intact throughout the process.
While you can install a stair lift on your own, we strongly advise against it. Incorrect installation can create serious safety risks and may keep the lift from working properly. Our professional technicians are trained to align, power, and test every component so your lift operates smoothly and your limited lifetime warranty stays protected.
Traditional Medicare usually doesn’t cover stair lifts, but some Medicare Advantage plans or Veterans Affairs programs may help. Leaf Home also offers financing options to make your purchase more affordable.
Cost varies based on your staircase layout and the type of lift you choose. Straight models are generally more affordable, while curved lifts require more custom fittings to match your stairs. You can schedule a free in-home estimate, where our team will measure your space and provide a detailed quote.
Stair lifts can be made to fit a variety of staircase styles, depending on width and shape. Most wooden, concrete, carpeted, and even spiral staircases qualify for installation. During your in-home consultation, your technician will confirm that your stairs meet the requirements for safe installation.
Once your lift is ready, installation is typically completed by our trained technicians in as little as one to two days. After setup, your team will test every feature and walk you through how to use your lift with confidence.
Look for a company with certified local technicians, custom-fit options, and reliable warranty coverage. Leaf Home provides all three, along with a safety certificate after installation that helps ensure your stair lift continues to work when you need it most. Leaf Home stair lifts include a limited lifetime warranty, plus one year of battery coverage.
All you need is a sturdy staircase at least 29 inches wide, a nearby power source, and a clear landing space at the top and bottom. During your in-home consultation, our team will measure your space and confirm every detail for a proper fit.
Consider your staircase width, mobility needs, and comfort preferences, along with whether you’ll need indoor or outdoor access. Most stair lifts can fit stairways 29 inches wide or more, and a complimentary Leaf Home consultation can help you choose the right model for your home and lifestyle.
