Stair lifts · Michigan
The stairs shouldn't decide which rooms you get to use. A stair chair lift for your home gives you back the upstairs bedroom, the basement laundry, and the peace of mind that comes with not worrying about a fall.
Our accessibility consultants assess the whole home and match you with the right lift, and our team handles a safe, professional installation from start to finish.
✓ Affordable straight stair lifts, starting at $3,500 fully installed, with financing available
✓ Installed in days, not weeks
✓ The rail attaches to your stair treads, not your walls

Straight answers on what a stair lift costs in Michigan, what affects the price, and how people pay for one.
Read the Cost Guide »Stairs that curve, spiral or have pie-shaped steps? Those need a custom curved lift, which costs more and takes weeks to build. We quote and install curved lifts too. Read how straight and curved lifts compare, or call us and we'll tell you honestly what will work.
You keep your home the way it is. The rail sits on the stair treads, the seat folds up out of the way, and the rest of the family can still use the stairs. You stay independent, on your own terms.
You get one point of contact, a clear price before any work starts, and an installation measured in days. We handle the assessment, the product and the install, so you're not managing three companies from two hours away.
Why SHS
Straight lifts use standard rails that are cut to fit, so there's no waiting on a factory.
The rail fastens to the stair treads. If the lift is ever removed, the stairs are easy to restore.
Starting at $3,500 fully installed, with financing available. You see the full price before you decide.

How it works
1
Call or send the form. A few questions and a couple of photos are usually enough to know if a straight lift will fit.
2
We measure the staircase, check the fit for the person who will use it, and give you a firm price.
3
Our team is on site for the whole install, which usually takes under four hours, and shows you how to use the lift.
A Milford family needed both a wheelchair ramp and a stair lift before their father came home from a procedure. We measured on a Sunday and had the stair lift installed by the end of that week. The lift itself took about two hours to fit.

How much does a stair lift cost?
Our straight stair lifts run $3,500 to $6,500 fully installed, depending on the length of the staircase. Financing is available through Service Finance. Our cost guide explains what moves the price.
How long does installation take?
A straight stair lift usually takes under four hours to install, with the Senior Home Solutions team on site.
Will a stair lift damage my house?
No. The rail attaches to the stair treads, not the wall, so there's no cutting into drywall or structure.
What if my stairs have a landing?
Often two straight lifts solve it for up to 50% less than one custom curved lift, and both go in on the same visit. See stairs with landings.
Beyond the stairs
A stair lift is often one part of the plan. While we're assessing your stairs, we'll look at the rest of the home too.
Bathroom & stairs
Solid support in the bathroom, the hallway and at the top and bottom of the stairs.
