Straight Stair Lifts — The Smart Choice for Most Homes
If your staircase runs in a single, uninterrupted flight — straight from top to bottom with no turns or landings — a straight stair lift is almost always the right solution. They're the most affordable option, install fastest, and require no custom rail fabrication.
Straight stair lifts are the most common choice in NYC. They're perfect for brownstone stoops, suburban split-levels, and most single-floor-to-second-floor setups in apartments and houses throughout Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, and the surrounding suburbs.
How Much Does a Straight Stair Lift Cost?
Straight stair lifts typically range from $3,000–$5,500 fully installed. The exact price depends on:
- Length of your staircase (number of steps)
- Whether you need indoor or outdoor rail options
- Brand and model selected
- Any additional features (swivel seat, remote controls, etc.)
We provide free in-home assessments with a guaranteed quote before any work begins.
