Different Types of Stair Lifts
There are two primary types of stair lifts. The one you’ll choose depends on the type of stairs you have in your home.
Straight Stair Lifts
If you have a straight, single flight of stairs in your home, then a straight stair lift will work for your space. Keep in mind that you’ll need to have enough landing space at the bottom and top of your staircase to accommodate your lift.
Curved Stair Lifts
Does your staircase have curves or a landing halfway up? In that case, a curved stair lift is what you’ll need. These stair lifts feature a custom rail that will fit the exact angle of your staircase, so the lift can maneuver along with your stairs.
Since curved stair lifts require more customization, the installation process can take longer compared to a straight one, but you’ll have peace of mind that it’s a perfect fit for your space.
Customer Reviews
Excellent work, professional, and very good with communication. Working with Brian H. with the planning stages was great, no pressure, and very accommodating with our schedules. Installation day for the wet side was done in two days. James O. was our main demo and installer and Joey G. came the second day to help finish. They were courteous to me and the family and also respectful of the house and property. The Costco promotions were a good incentive, but the lifetime warranty on the work is the real deal. We can't wait until phase two!

We were very pleased with the job. Chad and Doug were our installers and they did an awesome job from start to finish. They made sure everything was clean and tidy after the install of my father’s walk-in tub that he loves so much. We highly recommend Atlas Home Improvement for your home improvement needs and Chad and Doug for any installation jobs you have. Thanks Guys!

I had a walk in shower installation completed on Tuesday, 9/14/21. My installer Joey was professional, as quiet as possible, did a wonderful job and left my place completely cleaned at the end of the job. I am very happy with the product and would recommend Atlas Home Safety to anyone looking for a walk in shower.

We can't recommend Atlas enough. Everything was done well and in a timely manner. Justin and Doug did a wonderful job on the tub to shower conversion despite a cast iron tub removal and old plumbing.

Atlas Home Safety installed a Hammer Helix stair lift in our home. We are impressed on the very professional job they did. From the salesman to the installer everything was handled in a very professional way. Our installer, Dave F, went beyond the norm and made sure the stair lift was installed properly for my wife.

Work was done quickly and very neatly. It has been a great improvement for my wife getting upstairs or to the basement. We are very pleased with the project and it's cost.

We requested a consult a Navigator stair lift from Atlas Home Safety and were so impressed by their honesty and clarity that we contracted to have it done. Two weeks to the day we were told it would be scheduled they called and we were very fortunate to have Dave F as our installer. The work was done by him promptly and neatly and pleasantly. We love our new stair lift. I was pleased to read reviews that praise other home improvements just as much. They receive 5-Stars from us!

Top Stair Lift Installation in Michigan
Adding a stair lift to your home is one of the easiest ways to make your staircase safer and more accessible. Stair lifts are a motorized chair that attaches to the treads of stairs, allowing you to securely ride up and down the length of the stairs without worrying about injury.
Stair lifts feature a convenient battery-powered system, so your chair will continue to work even during short power outages. Homeowners call Atlas Home Safety for stair lift installation for many reasons, but the ones we hear most are:
There are several reasons why someone with disabilities or mobility challenges might choose to update their homes with a stair lift:
- Independence: A stair lift can provide individuals with disabilities or mobility challenges the independence to move freely around their homes without assistance. It allows them to access different floors without relying on others for help.
- Safety: For individuals with mobility issues, navigating stairs can pose significant safety risks. Installing a stair lift reduces the likelihood of falls or accidents on the stairs, providing a safer environment within the home.
- Comfort: Climbing stairs can be physically demanding and uncomfortable for individuals with mobility limitations. A stair lift offers a more comfortable way to move between floors, eliminating the need for strenuous physical exertion. Our stair lifts feature a cozy seat, armrests, and a seatbelt so you feel safe and secure every time you use it. And, it only requires a push of a button to use, so you can use it independently.
- Accessibility: By installing a stair lift, individuals with disabilities or movement challenges can make their homes more accessible to themselves and others who may visit. This can be particularly important for maintaining social connections and hosting gatherings with friends and family.
- Maintaining Independence at Home: Many people wish to age in place and remain in their own homes as they get older. A stair lift can be a crucial modification that allows individuals to continue living independently in their homes for longer, rather than having to move to assisted living facilities or other accommodations.
- Cost-Effectiveness: In comparison to other home modifications or moving to a new accessible residence, installing a stair lift can be a relatively cost-effective solution for improving mobility and accessibility within the home.
- Increase Home Value: Less than 5% of US houses are accessible but demand is much higher. Adding features like stair lifts can help your home stand out if you decide to sell in the future.
We can all agree that living life at home with comfort, independently, is a source of confidence and joy that enhances our quality of life. Let’s get started taking your life and independence back!
What to Consider Before Installing a Stair Lift
There are many stair lift benefits, but before you can enjoy them, make sure you choose the right design. To ensure you get the perfect stair lift for your needs, here are the most important things to consider when planning your project:
- The width of your staircase: As a good rule of thumb, your staircase will need a width of about 30 to 32 inches to accommodate a stair lift. If you have a narrow staircase, you might need to renovate before the installation.
- How much you can spend: When you prepare for your installation, it’s a good idea to set a budget you’re comfortable spending. Keep in mind that because they require customization, a curved stair lift is usually more expensive than a straight one.
- Whether to buy or rent: If you have a temporary disability, renting a stair lift could be an economical option to consider. However, if you need to use a lift for longer than a few months, then buying one is likely the better option.

FAQs About Stair Lifts
Are stair lifts covered by insurance?

Will the stair lift block my staircase?
No, our stair lifts are compact and the seat can fold when not in use, so there is plenty of room to use the stairs.
