Stair Lift Offerings for Oak Brook, IL
Oak Brook homes are often large and multi-level, with staircases that curve or split across several floors rather than a single straight run. Whether your stairs are straight or curved, indoors or out, we measure and build to your exact staircase, including custom rails for sweeping or turning designs. Stay comfortable and independent in the home you already love.
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 for Your Oak Brook Home
Many Oak Brook properties sit on sloped, multi-acre lots with long driveways, raised front entries, and terraced patios or pool decks—beautiful, but tough to navigate with a wheelchair or scooter. Our outdoor wheelchair lifts provide a clean, low-profile way to reach those entries. The finishes are weather-rated to hold up to Chicago-area freeze-thaw winters and the humidity around pools and landscaped grounds, so they keep working season after season.
Also called vertical platform lifts, indoor wheelchair lifts let you move safely between the finished levels of a larger home—a discreet, space-saving option where a full elevator isn’t needed. They work just as well for Oak Brook’s offices, clubs, and retail spaces that need step-free access.
In-Home Elevators in Oak Brook
Many Oak Brook owners have been in the same home for decades and would much rather stay than downsize. An in-home elevator makes that realistic. It’s a one-time investment that can often cost less than assisted or 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 peace of mind and accessibility, an elevator adds real value at resale—a genuine differentiator in Oak Brook’s high-end market, where buyers expect premium features. It’s often the “tie-breaker” that helps a home sell at or above asking.
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
In a large custom home, moving groceries, laundry, or catering up several floors is tiring and potentially dangerous. At DME Elevators & Lifts, we install residential and commercial dumbwaiters that do the heavy lifting for you—a natural fit for homes throughout the Oak Brook area.
In your home, a dumbwaiter moves laundry, groceries, and luggage between floors—ideal for running supplies from a lower-level garage or kitchen up to a main-floor kitchen or entertaining space. You can spec the layout, load size, and weight capacity to fit your home.
On top of the everyday convenience, a built-in dumbwaiter is a genuinely useful feature that buyers tend to notice.
Commercial dumbwaiters suit Oak Brook’s offices, restaurants, clubs, 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. LULA elevators are a clean accessibility solution for Oak Brook’s large commercial base. 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 day one 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 Oak Brook is in Lisle, IL (approximately 15 minutes and 9 miles from the village hall), an easy drive down the Ogden Avenue (US-34) and I-88 corridor. Call us to schedule an appointment with an expert, we look forward to meeting you!
Do you sell used and rental stair lifts in Oak Brook?
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.
How long does it take to have a stairlift installed once purchased?
Installation turnarounds depend on the type of stair lift you need. Straight stair lifts oftentimes can be installed within a few days after purchase. Curved stair lifts require custom measurements and rails to fit your home, taking on average 4-6 weeks for installation. If you are in need of immediate installation, please state this when speaking to one of our experts. Speak to an expert today.
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.
Do you work with the city on local permit and building code requirements?
Yes, DME Elevators & Lifts works directly with the Village of Oak Brook and its Development Services Department on residential and commercial building permits.
