Stair Lift Offerings for Evanston, IL

Evanston is a city filled with unique and historic homes. It’s no surprise if you or a loved one wants to stay in your home.

Certain homes may pose significant accessibility issues. No matter what kind of staircase or home you have, we have stair lifts to fit your needs.

One of the most popular options for stair lifts, straight stair lifts ensure that you have access to every floor in your home.

If you have a curved staircase, our curved stair lifts will allow you to navigate all its twists and turns.
Our certified stair lift installers can make your outdoor patio or steps as accessible as the inside of your home with our weather-resistant outdoor stair lifts.

If cost is a concern for you, we provide used stair lifts at a discounted price. 

If you have temporary mobility issues from surgery or an injury, you can opt for our stair lift rentals.

Wheelchair Lifts

Despite Evanston being relatively wheelchair-friendly, getting from place to place can still be a hassle. While we can’t control the accessibility of public places, we can guarantee that your home will be.

Our local experts will sit down with you and craft a wheelchair lift that is right for you. We will also work with Evanston city regulations to ensure that your lift meets all local requirements.

Home Elevators

DME Elevators & Lifts partners with well-renowned manufacturers, Garaventa Lift and Cibes Symmetry, to provide high-quality home elevators that match your design needs.

An in-home elevator can be a large investment decision, but it can also greatly increase your property value. If you’d like to learn more about an in-home elevator, we have a dedicated team of experts that understand the area, will work with you on your specific needs, and cater to your budget. Our team can also personally visit your home and provide a free in-home assessment.

Dumbwaiters

Moving heavy items up and down the stairs can pose a great safety risk to you and your loved ones. Dumbwaiters help carry large loads up and down multiple floors in homes and businesses without you needing to lift anything. At DME Elevators & Lifts, our certified in-house technicians install only the highest-quality residential and commercial dumbwaiter models so you can reliably move the things you need from floor to floor.

LULA Elevators

At DME Elevators & Lifts, we specialize in these Limited Use/Limited Application systems that bridge the gap between platform lifts and full-sized commercial elevators. LULA elevators offer an ideal solution for buildings with unique spatial constraints, providing efficient vertical transportation without compromising on style or usefulness.

Our commitment to excellence extends beyond installation. Rely on DME Elevators & Lifts for regular maintenance and repair services to keep your LULA elevator operating at peak performance.
