3 Level Custom Stair and a ShowerBuddy

ALS – also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease can be challenging to say the least. ALS is a neurological disease that attacks nerve cells and creates weakness in the legs, feet or ankles causing clumsiness and falls. Other symptoms may include: weakness in the hands, muscle cramps or twitching, difficulty in holding the head upright, slurred speech, or trouble breathing.

The Right Solution for You
In this video below, you will see that our client was originally looking at installing an elevator or maybe two vertical platform lifts. After multiple meetings with our client as well as engineers, city hall and providing multiple quotes and options, the customer decided to choose a custom stair lift. It was a very challenging job since the staircase was extremely narrow. We had to modify the existing iron handrail to make room for the custom stair lift. Below you can actually see the installation process from start to finish.
