One important factor to consider when deciding whether or not to install a stair lift is, what impact it may have on the future value of your home. Most stair lifts are bolted directly to the floor rather than to the wall, so that they can support the weight of the equipment as well as the weight of the person being carried up and down the stairs. While this is not a permanent fixture, removing a stair lift will certainly leave sizeable holes in the floor as well as potential damage to any carpeting you may have on the stairs. There may also be additional damage to the walls through normal use.

There is not a direct answer to the question 'how much do stair lifts cost'. Stair lifts can range thousands of dollars in price, depending on your personal preferences. For instance, if you are wanting your a straight stair lift delivered, but not installed the cost can range anywhere from $2,000 - $2,800. However, if you want your straight stair lift delivered, and installed the cost will range anywhere between $3,000 - $5,000.

There are many types of stair lifts for disabled in the home. Some of the different types of stair lifts available on the market include battery powered stair lifts, electric powered stair lifts, heavy duty stair lifts, outdoor stair lifts, and curved stair lifts.

Many people are faced with mobility challenges, and feel as if they have no option, but to sell their 2 story home. There is no need to sell your home, but you may want to consider purchasing, and installing a stair lift.
