I might have to have one of those 'ride the stairs' contraptions before long.

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Dec 14, 2011Rose, as a CAP contractor I have installed several of these over the past few years. What would you like to know about them? Typically insurance has paid for this with a prescription from DR. There are some really nice ones as well as some pretty junky ones that are hard to use and break down a lot. If you have an open stair well you can also consider putting in an elevator. We have done a few of these as well. One house we cut out a window on each floor and installed the elevator on the outside. Re-sided that area put two doors where the windows were and when they were closed it looked like a closet door. Many builders in our area are putting closets in main hallways these days and framing just for that reason in the future.Helpful Reply

Dottie Unruh on Aug 24, 2015I had one installed for my husband when he became disabled. It was a life saver! After he passed away, I kept it; it was invaluable to me when I had my hip replaced. Now my elderly guests occasionally use it, and it's great for transporting laundry up from the basement. I think EVERY house should come with one!Helpful Reply
