A+ StairLifts of Pittsburgh is frequently asked if there will still be enough room to walk on the stairs. It's a common concern, especially in older Pittsburgh homes where staircases are often narrower than those in newer construction. Whether you're considering a stairlift for yourself, a spouse, or an aging parent, you want to make sure it improves safety without creating obstacles for everyone else in the home.
If you live in an older Pittsburgh home, you probably know how narrow some of those staircases can be.
What many homeowners don't realize is that today's stairlifts are a lot more compact than they used to be. Many have seats, armrests, and footrests that fold up when they're not being used, leaving more room for others to get up and down the stairs.
We've worked with plenty of homes that have narrow staircases, tight landings, and even doorways right at the bottom of the steps.
Every staircase is a little different, but just because yours looks too narrow doesn't mean a stairlift won't fit.
We've been installing stairlifts throughout the Pittsburgh area since 2009, and we're always happy to take a look and help you figure out what might work in your home.
