A Real Stairlift Installation Story from Waunakee, Wisconsin
Bob, a Waunakee resident living with Parkinson’s disease, experienced a fall that led to a stay at an inpatient rehabilitation facility in Fitchburg, Wisconsin. As he prepared to return home, it became clear that safely getting in and out of the house would be a challenge—he was now using a wheelchair and needed immediate access. His family reached out to us, and we quickly installed a temporary modular wheelchair ramp so he could return home safely. The ramp rental gave them flexibility as they figured out his longer-term needs.
But once Bob was back home recovering, another challenge became obvious. He was missing a big part of his daily life—his hobby area in the basement. It was something he loved and looked forward to every day, but the stairs had become unsafe after his fall.
Bob gave us a call again, this time looking for a way to safely access his basement. We installed a stair lift that allowed him to confidently and independently get downstairs again—restoring not just access, but a meaningful part of his routine and quality of life.
A Straight Stairlift Transformation in Fitchburg, Wisconsin
Mary, a longtime homeowner in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, loved everything about her home except for one growing challenge: her bedroom and only shower were located upstairs. As her arthritis worsened, the sharp pain in her knees and hip made navigating the staircase a daily battle. To avoid the grueling climb, Mary increasingly found herself sleeping on her downstairs couch, sacrificing her comfort and independence just to stay safe.
Ready to reclaim her entire home, Mary reached out to our South Central Wisconsin team for an expert evaluation. During her free home safety assessment, we discussed her unique mobility challenges and mapped out a solution tailored to her physical needs.
Mary chose the Bruno Elan Indoor Straight Stair Lift, but customized it with two essential power upgrades to completely eliminate physical strain:
- Power Swivel Seat: Because her knee pain made manually turning the chair at the top landing difficult, the automated power swivel safely rotates her away from the stairs at the push of a button.
- Power Folding Footrest & Wireless Remotes: To keep the narrow hallway clear, Mary can comfortably ride up, step off, and use the wireless remote control to send the lift halfway up the stairs—where the footrest automatically folds away, keeping the walkway completely unobstructed for guests.
Today, Mary is back to sleeping comfortably in her own bed and accessing her upstairs shower safely, with her independence fully restored.
Overcoming Winding Entryway: A Curved Stairlift Solution in Sun Prairie, WI
A couple in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, was facing an increasingly precarious daily hurdle right inside their front door. Their home’s entryway leads directly from the garage into a multi-flight staircase: it goes up a short flight, meets a flat landing platform, and then turns to go up another eight steps to reach the main living area.
Navigating this configuration became a severe safety hazard due to unexpected health challenges. One spouse, undergoing cancer treatments, began experiencing intense bouts of fatigue and dizziness, making a fall on the landing turn a constant worry. At the same time, the other spouse suffered from chronic, flare-up back pain that came and went, making it excruciating to carry items while climbing.
Carrying everyday essentials like laundry baskets and grocery bags up the stairs became nearly impossible. They even installed a second handrail to assist with balance, but this required them to keep both hands free at all times—meaning they couldn’t safely carry anything between floors.
Our South Central Wisconsin team visited their Sun Prairie home to engineer a personalized remedy. Because standard straight rails cannot navigate a platform turn, we custom-fitted a Bruno Elite Curved Stair Lift to mirror the exact angle of their walls.
This custom installation resolved their mobility and cargo challenges perfectly:
- Safe Cargo Transport on the Lap: Instead of dangerously balancing bags while dizzy or straining a sore back, they can now safely ride the lift while placing items directly on their lap, transporting groceries or laundry completely hands-free.
- Remote-Controlled Delivery: For larger loads, they can place a heavy basket on the empty seat, use the wireless remote to send the lift up the winding rail independently, and meet it at the top without lifting a thing.
- Keeping the Walkway Clear: The custom-bent rail hugs the inside wall tightly. When the luxury seat folds up, the entryway from the garage remains wide open and unobstructed for visiting family and medical professionals.
Now, this Sun Prairie couple can easily manage their home and daily chores comfortably, regardless of unexpected flare-ups or health hurdles.

What kind of maintenance is involved?
Your residential stairlift is virtually maintenance-free. Regular check-ups are recommended to ensure optimal performance.
How much does a stair lift cost in Wisconsin?
Straight stair lifts typically range from $4,500–$6,500 installed, while curved stair lifts are custom and higher. We offer both purchase and rental options depending on your needs.
How fast can I get a stair lift installed?
In many cases, we can install a straight stair lift within a few days, depending on the stairway specifics and your needs. We start with a free assessment to take measurements and discuss your needs. Then, we provide exact pricing and a timeline for installation.
Where is the stairlift attached?
The stairlift rail is mounted directly to the stair treads, not the wall. This means your walls remain untouched—no drilling or structural changes required.
How far does the stairlift rail sit from the wall?
For straight staircases, the rail typically sits about 3 inches from the nearest obstruction (usually stair tread or railing).
For curved stairlifts, spacing can vary depending on the layout and measurements of your staircase.
Can someone walk alongside the stairlift?
Yes. In most cases, the stairway can be used to walk up the stairs. Additionally, there is enough room to walk alongside the stairlift as a caregiver.
You can also operate the lift using:
- The control on the armrest, or
- A wireless remote control
Do I need to remove pictures or existing railings?
Usually, no. We can often install the stairlift without removing wall décor or handrails.
This depends on:
- The width of your staircase
- The height and needs of the user
We evaluate this during your in-home assessment.
How much space does it take at the bottom of the stairs?
For straight stairlifts, we can install a power-folding rail that lifts out of the way when not in use.
This means:
- No obstruction at the bottom of the stairs
- Clear walkways and doorways
What if there’s a door at the top of the stairs?
No problem. We design and install the stairlift so that doors can fully open and close without interference. Every installation is customized to fit your home safely and seamlessly.
