Our Stair Lifts in New Jersey
Every home is different. That’s why we offer a variety of stair lift options that fit different staircases, mobility needs, and budgets.
Trusted Stair Lift Brands
Williams Lift Company carries stair lifts from some of the industry’s most respected manufacturers. Depending on your needs, we can recommend solutions from the following brands:
- Bruno: This company has been a leading name in stair lifts for over 20 years. Bruno models include audio and visual diagnostics, making service and repairs faster.
- Brooks by Acorn: Built for reliability and comfort, these lifts are great for everyday use.
- Harmar: Known for compact designs, these models work well in narrower staircases.
Each manufacturer offers unique features, weight capacities, seating options, and customization capabilities. During your in-home assessment, we’ll help you compare available options and determine which model best fits your situation.
Straight, Curved, and Custom Stair Lifts
The type of staircase in your home is one of the biggest factors you must consider when selecting a stair lift:
- Straight lifts: Made for staircases without turns, curves, or intermediate landings, these models are often the fastest to install and have the lowest overall cost.
- Curved stair lifts: These are custom-built for staircases with turns or landings. The rail is manufactured specifically for your staircase to provide a smooth ride from start to finish.
- Custom stair lifts: We may recommend a custom stair lift if you have a challenging layout, such as narrow staircases, landings, or special accessibility needs.
If you’re not sure which type of stair lift you need, don’t worry. Our technicians will come to your home for a free evaluation. During that time, they’ll measure your staircase and let you know your options.
Rentals and Used Stair Lifts
Not everyone needs a permanent solution. If you’re recovering from surgery, dealing with a temporary mobility issue, have an out-of-town guest, or caring for a loved one during rehabilitation, stair lift rentals may be a more cost-effective option.
We also offer select pre-owned stair lifts when available through our buy-back program. These units are inspected and serviced by our technicians before resale. Used stair lifts are often cheaper, which can save you money while still helping you stay safe in your home.
During your consultation, we’ll help you compare rental, used, and new stair lift options, so you can make the right choice for you. Whichever option you choose, you’ll get professional installation and the same service support we provide with every new lift.
How Do You Choose the Right Stair Lift for Your Home?
When you’re selecting the right stair lift for your home, you need to know how big your staircase is. There are also other factors that you need to consider.
Fit and Home Requirements
Many of our customers in older homes worry that their staircase may be too narrow for a stair lift. However, most modern stair lift systems can accommodate tight spaces.
When evaluating your home, we consider:
- Staircase width
- Landings and turns
- Doorway locations
- Parking positions for the chair
- Available clearance for other people
- User height and weight
- Electrical access
Some models, like the Harmar SL600, fold down to just 11 inches wide and install within one inch of the wall. This keeps your staircase accessible to others in the house. Likewise, any bend or turn midway up the stairs means you need a curved or custom rail. If you have doors near the top or bottom of the stairs, tight hallways, or low ceilings, you might need a stair lift with a folding rail.
Additionally, most stair lifts use battery-powered systems that charge continuously while parked. This allows you to keep moving through your home safely during temporary power outages.
Stair Lift Pricing
Stair lift pricing can vary between models. The biggest cost drivers are:
- Staircase type: Straight lifts are less expensive because they use standard rails. Curved lifts start at around $14,000 and can reach $20,000 or more because the rails are custom-made for your home.
- Rail length: More stairs mean more rail, which adds to the cost.
- Optional upgrades: Power swivel seats, folding footrests, and higher weight-capacity models all affect the final price. However, they’re not required, and you might not need them.
- Installation: While some companies charge for installation, we don’t. There’s no separate labor charge added at the end.
While cost is important, choosing a stair lift based solely on price means you might pay for more (or less) than you need. Our team helps you understand all available options and pricing, so you can find one that’s the best value for your needs.
Comprehensive Stair Lift Services Near You in New Jersey
Buying a stair lift is just the beginning. Williams Lift Company stays involved from installation through the life of your equipment.
Installation
We can complete most installations within a few hours. Our technicians mount the rail directly to your stair treads, not your walls. This allows your handrails to stay in place and minimizes unnecessary damage to your home. Before we leave, we will walk you and your family through how to use the lift safely. From your first call to a completed installation, our typical timeline runs one to two weeks.
Repairs and Maintenance
Stair lift issues don’t follow a schedule, which is why our service line up to 11PM. When you call, a technician arrives at your home within 24 to 48 hours. We stock parts for most models, which means same-visit repairs in most cases. Customers who purchased their lift directly from us receive priority service, with guaranteed same-day or next-day repairs.
Common issues we repair include:
- Lift not moving or stopping mid-track
- Unexplained beeping or error codes
- Seat, footrest, or swivel
- Battery or charging issues
- Remote control problems
We service all major stair lift brands, including Bruno, Brooks by Acorn, and Harmar, as well as lifts purchased elsewhere. Annual maintenance checks are also available to catch small issues before they become bigger ones.

Frequently Asked Questions About Stair Lifts in New Jersey
What is a stair lift, and how does it work?
A stair lift is a motorized chair that travels along a track mounted on your staircase. You sit in the seat and use a button to move up or down the stairs.
How long does installation take?
Most installations are completed within a few hours.
Will installation damage my walls?
No. The track mounts directly to your stair treads. Your walls and existing handrails remain untouched. If you ever need the lift removed, we can take it out cleanly in a couple of hours.
How quickly can you repair my stair lift?
We arrive within 24 to 48 hours of your call. However, if you bought your lift from us, you get priority service with same or next-day calls.
Can I rent a lift instead of buying one?
