Stairlift Installation in Washington, D.C.
Bedco Mobility has been installing and servicing stairlifts in Washington, D.C. for over 60 years. We have thousands of satisfied customers across the city — from Georgetown to Capitol Hill, Friendship Heights to Anacostia — and we understand the unique character of DC homes: historic rowhouses with narrow staircases, multi-story townhomes, and grand entry stairs in older neighborhoods.
We were even selected to install a stair lift for the AARP 50th anniversary universal design home located in DC — a recognition of our expertise and reputation in the region.
We carry only Stannah and Bruno, consistently ranked the top two stairlift brands by “The Savvy Senior” and Consumer Affairs. Our GPS-tracked service vehicles and cloud-based scheduling system mean faster response times and reliable follow-up care. Estimates are always free, no-hassle, and no-obligation.
Can’t accommodate an in-home visit? Video consultations are available. Or visit our Baltimore showroom — just across the district line — to try a working stairlift in person.

Stannah Straight Stairlift — Washington, D.C.
The Stannah Siena and Starla straight stairlifts are stocked in our warehouse and available for quick installation throughout DC — often within the same week as your free estimate. They fit on stairways of virtually any length, including the narrow staircases found throughout DC’s historic rowhouses and townhomes. Both models include a power-folding footrest as standard, and come with a lifetime warranty on the motor.
Stannah Curved Stairlift — Washington, D.C.
Many DC homes — particularly in Georgetown, Capitol Hill, and older NW neighborhoods — feature staircases with bends, landings, or multiple flights. Stannah curved stairlifts are custom-built to the exact millimeter dimensions of your staircase using a digital photo measuring system. You receive a formal layout drawing for approval before anything is manufactured, and every unit comes with a lifetime warranty on both the motor and the rail.
We have installed curved stairlifts throughout DC, including a Stannah 260 on Porter Street replacing a unit we originally installed in 1968 — a testament to the quality of our installations and the longevity of our customer relationships.
Stannah Outdoor Stairlift — Washington, D.C.
The Stannah 320 is built from the ground up for outdoor use — not a standard indoor unit with a weatherproof cover. UV-resistant seating, double powder-coated metal parts, and all-weather components make it the right choice for exterior stairways. Available as a stock item for straight outdoor stairs.

Frequently Asked Questions - Click Here for Stairlift FAQ
Q: What does a stairlift cost in Washington D.C.?
Stairlift prices in Washington D.C. depend on a few key factors: the type of staircase (straight, curved, or outdoor), the brand and model, and whether you choose a new or reconditioned unit. A straight stairlift is typically less expensive than a curved one, which is custom-built to your specific staircase dimensions.
The most accurate way to get a price is a free in-home estimate — we’ll measure your stairway, discuss your needs, and give you a clear itemized quote with no pressure. We’ll also let you know if a used stairlift is a good match for your situation, which can lower the cost significantly.
Financing is also available through Synchrony, including no-interest options — ask us for details.

Q: Can I rent a stairlift?
Yes. Bedco Mobility offers stairlift rentals throughout Washington D.C.. Rental is ideal for short-term needs — recovering from surgery, for example — or when circumstances are uncertain. Our rental units are always brand new, and they can be converted to a permanent purchase if your needs change. Call us to ask about availability and pricing.
Q: How much does installation cost?
Installation is free — it is included in the stairlift price with no hidden fees. All installations are carried out by Bedco Mobility’s own factory-certified technicians. We never subcontract. Every installation includes a full demonstration and hands-on training so you feel confident from day one.
Q: Do you install stairlifts on narrow staircases?
Yes. Modern stairlift technology has advanced significantly, and today’s units can be installed on stairways that would have been impossible to serve even a decade ago. If you’re unsure whether your stairway qualifies, a free in-home estimate will answer that definitively — we’ll measure every clearance and tell you exactly what will work.
Q: Can a stairlift handle turns or landings?
Absolutely. Stairways with bends, landing turns, multiple flights, or even a spiral are handled by curved stairlifts. Stannah curved rails are custom-manufactured to the millimeter dimensions of your staircase using a digital photo measuring system. Before manufacturing begins, you receive a formal layout drawing for your approval. Every curved unit comes with a lifetime warranty on both the motor and the rail.
Q: Are used stairlifts a good option?
For many customers, yes. Bedco Mobility has the largest inventory of reconditioned stairlifts in the Mid-Atlantic. Every used unit is thoroughly prepared before installation — including new batteries — and backed by a parts and labor warranty. Used options are available for straight, curved, and outdoor stairways. A cost-effective approach: a used chairtop paired with newly made curved rails matched to your staircase — significant savings without compromising safety or fit.
Q: How do I choose the right stairlift company?
Two things matter most: equipment quality and local reputation. For equipment, look for established manufacturers with strong safety records — Consumer Affairs and The Savvy Senior both rank Stannah and Bruno as the top two. For the local company, look for years of experience, factory-certified in-house technicians (not subcontractors), and genuine customer reviews. A stairlift is a long-term investment — you need a company that will still be there to service it years from now.
Bedco Mobility has served this region since 1912, employs multiple certified technicians, and has thousands of satisfied local customers. Read our Google reviews and see what your neighbors say.
Q: Can I try a stairlift before buying?
Yes. Visit our Baltimore showroom — a short drive from DC — where working Stannah and Bruno models are on display and available to try. Sit in them, operate them, and get a real sense of which model fits your needs. Call (301) 585-0700 to arrange your visit.
