Stair Lifts in Los Angeles

When the stairs start to decide which rooms you use, a stair lift is the simplest fix. Nationwide Lifts of Southern California installs stair lifts, also called chair lifts, across Los Angeles County, including the Westside, the Valley, Pasadena, the South Bay and Long Beach. The rail is fixed to the stair treads, so there is no remodeling, and the chair folds out of the way when no one is riding.

Stair Lifts for Los Angeles Homes

In the flats, two-story Spanish and Craftsman homes usually have one staircase to the bedrooms, and a straight stair lift keeps those rooms in use. In the hills, from Silver Lake to the Palisades, homes step down the slope with stairs inside and long runs of steps outside between the street, the garage and the front door. We install lifts for both, indoors and out. Our guide to outdoor stair lifts for beach houses and canyon homes covers exterior stairs in more detail.

Choosing the Right Model

The Indy Pinnacle is the narrowest stair lift we offer, folding to just 11 inches wide. It carries up to 350 pounds, makes 40 trips during a power outage and needs no grease or lubricants, which suits narrow stairways in older homes.

The Indy Lux carries up to 400 pounds and has adjustable seat widths and several seat heights, a good choice when comfort matters as much as getting up the stairs. For staircases with a turn or a landing, the Indy Curve is built to the exact measurements of your stairs, handles 90 and 180 degree turns and supports up to 400 pounds, with a seat that swivels at the top landing. Our stair lifts page has full details on each model.

How Installation Works

We visit your home and measure the staircase, then give you a written quote for the model that fits. On installation day the rail is fixed to the treads, the chair is installed and tested, and we show you the controls and safety features. The chair runs on rechargeable batteries and stops automatically if it meets an obstacle.

What a Stair Lift Costs

A straight staircase costs the least to equip. A curved staircase needs a rail made to measure, so it costs more. Our article on stair lift cost in Southern California explains each factor. If you need access to more than one floor, compare a home elevator.
