Stair Lift Offerings for Burr Ridge, IL
Stay comfortable and independent in the home you already love. In our experience, Burr Ridge homes tend to be larger with multiple staircases and unique considerations for mobility. The good news is that we measure each staircase on its own and build the rail to match, whether it’s straight, curved, indoors, or out, so every part of the house stays within reach. See our offerings below and the FAQ at the bottom of this page for details.
Straight stair lifts are one of the most popular ways to maintain access to every floor of your home.
If you have curved stairs, we provide custom curved stair lifts to navigate every twist and turn.
For accessibility inside and outside of your home, our weather-resistant outdoor stair lifts allow you to traverse patios and outdoor steps.
When you need a temporary accessibility solution after surgery or an injury, you can choose our rental stair lifts.

Wheelchair Lifts & Vertical Platform Lifts (VPLs)
Burr Ridge homes often sit on larger lots with graded driveways, raised front entries, and a step or two up to the door, which can be hard going for anyone who needs mobility assistance. Our outdoor wheelchair lifts provide safe, step-free access to the front door without a long ramp taking over the entry. The weather-rated finishes hold up to Chicago-area winters and road salt year after year.
Also called vertical platform lifts, indoor wheelchair lifts make it easy to get between levels safely—a smart option for split-foyer entries you find in many larger homes and garages. They’re just as useful for local offices and community buildings that need step-free access.
Installing a Home Elevator in Burr Ridge
A home elevator is often the single most effective way to keep the whole house usable. It connects every level, so longtime homeowners can stay put instead of downsizing. It’s a one-time investment where the upfront cost may make more sense than the long term costs associated with assisted and independent living. We’ll walk you and your family through the options at your pace, with honest guidance on what actually fits your home.
Beyond the everyday accessibility and peace of mind, a home elevator can add real value at resale, and in a market of large multi-story homes it’s often the feature that helps one stand out when it’s time to sell.
The in-house technicians at DME Elevators & Lifts are manufacturer-trained to ensure Excellence in Elevation with installation, maintenance, and service. Our partnership with Garaventa Lift and Cibes-Symmetry ensures that you will have a high-quality lift installed with plenty of customization options.
Dumbwaiters
At DME Elevators & Lifts, we install residential and commercial dumbwaiters that handle the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.
In your home, a dumbwaiter carries laundry, groceries, and other loads between floors so no one has to make the trip. In homes with a basement or a three-car garage below the main level, it turns an awkward climb into a non-issue. You can spec the layout, load size, and weight capacity to fit your home.
It’s also a practical, thoughtful feature that buyers tend to appreciate if you ever decide to put your home on the market.
Commercial dumbwaiters fit local spots like restaurants, offices, and places of worship. When a full passenger elevator isn’t practical, a dumbwaiter is a simple way to move files, food trays, and supplies between floors.
LULA Elevators
DME Elevators & Lifts installs LULA (Limited Use/Limited Application) elevators, which are a practical bridge between a wheelchair lift and a full commercial elevator. They’re a clean accessibility solution for Burr Ridge’s professional offices, medical suites, and community buildings where a full commercial elevator doesn’t make sense. We tailor each one to the building and keep it compliant with ADA standards. Common settings include:
- Community Centers
- Small Hotels
- Medical Offices
- Retail Stores
From installation to maintenance, our skilled technicians are ready to support your LULA elevator from the first install through ongoing service, so it keeps running smoothly for years.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a showroom where I can see a lift installed?
The nearest showroom to Burr Ridge is in Lisle, IL (about 18 minutes and 12 miles from village hall).
To ensure we provide you with the best service possible, please call to schedule an appointment so that we can have the right expert there to help with your needs.
Do you sell used and rental stair lifts in Burr Ridge?
DME Elevators & Lifts sells used and rental stair lifts in all of our service areas. The only catch is that inventory does fluctuate. Give us a call to check on inventory and see if we have the right stair lift available for your home.
What’s the stair lift installation process like, and is it disruptive?
Stair lift installation is more straightforward than most people expect. A stair lift mounts to the stair treads, not the wall, so there’s no major construction and no mess to clean up afterward. Straight lifts can often be installed within a few days of purchase; curved staircases need custom-measured rails and usually take a few weeks. Most installs are done in a single visit, and we’ll walk you through every step beforehand so there are no surprises.
Do you work with the city on local permit and building code requirements?
Yes, DME Elevators & Lifts works directly with the Village of Burr Ridge and its Community Development Department on residential and commercial building permits. We’ll handle the permit paperwork and inspections so everything is done to code. Submit a free-estimate to get started and one of our local experts can walk you through the process.
Are your stair lifts and home elevators American made?
Yes, many of our products are made in the U.S.A. For example, we are a certified dealer of Bruno stairlifts, which are manufactured in Oconomowoc, WI. All of our partners are highly regarded in the industry and come with warranty options.
Stannah stairlifts are manufactured in the U.K. but are also known for high-quality stair lifts. Rest assured you have multiple options to choose from and we are here to help you find the right fit.
For in-home elevators, both Cibes Symmetry and Garaventa Lifts operate in the US but are both global accessibility lift providers.
Still have questions? We are here to help.

With over 45 years of experience providing in-home accessibility solutions, you can trust DME Elevators & Lifts to help you find the right lift for your unique space and mobility needs for your home or business.
