For many Mentor homeowners, staying in the home they know and love is an important part of maintaining independence as they get older. But when arthritis, joint problems, surgery, balance concerns, or changes in mobility make the stairs difficult, moving safely between floors can become an everyday concern. Stair Lift Solutions LLC provides professional stair lift sales and installation in Mentor, OH, helping homeowners remain comfortable in the homes they love.
Choosing the right stair lift begins with the staircase itself. Jerry personally evaluates the length and configuration of your stairs, available space, and your individual mobility needs before recommending a system. Straight stair lifts work well for many traditional staircases, while homes with turns, landings, or more complex layouts may require a custom curved lift. Outdoor stair lifts are also available for exterior steps, porches, and other areas where safer access is needed.
Because Stair Lift Solutions is a locally owned Northeast Ohio company rather than a national call center, you work directly with an experienced stair lift professional. Jerry has more than 20 years of experience and personally handles your assessment and installation. The rail attaches securely to the stair treads rather than the wall, so installation typically requires no major remodeling or structural changes to your Mentor home.
Once your stair lift is installed, Jerry tests the system and shows you exactly how to operate it, including the controls and built-in safety features. The goal is simple: provide a stair lift that fits your staircase properly, operates dependably, and allows you to continue using your home comfortably and independently.

Mentor is a community where many people have put down roots and want to remain in their homes as they get older. From established neighborhoods near Mentor Avenue to homes throughout the Heisley Road and Headlands areas, moving simply because the stairs have become difficult is not always an appealing option. A stair lift can make it possible to continue using the entire home rather than giving up a second floor, basement, or other frequently used living space.
For older adults, changes in strength, balance, arthritis, or recovery from joint surgery can make a staircase increasingly difficult to navigate. Installing a stair lift provides a practical way to move between floors without repeatedly climbing the stairs, while allowing homeowners to maintain more of their normal routines and independence. It can also give family members greater reassurance when a parent or loved one is living independently.
For Mentor homeowners who want to age in place, adapting an existing home can also make more sense than relocating solely because of a staircase. A professionally installed stair lift addresses one of the most common accessibility challenges in a multi-level home without requiring extensive remodeling. For many families, it is a straightforward way to make a familiar home work better as mobility needs change.
Homes and mobility needs are different, which is why the right stair lift depends on much more than simply choosing a model. Stair Lift Solutions provides Mentor homeowners with straight, curved, outdoor, new, and refurbished stair lift options, along with ongoing repair and maintenance services.
Personal guidance from selection through installation.
Choosing a stair lift starts with understanding how you use your home. Jerry personally evaluates your staircase, available space, mobility needs, and budget before recommending a lift. You receive straightforward guidance from an experienced local professional rather than a salesperson working from a national call center.
A practical solution for staircases without turns or intermediate landings.
Straight stair lifts are a popular choice for Mentor homes with a staircase that travels directly between floors. Because they use a straight rail rather than a custom-manufactured curved track, they are generally the simplest and most economical type of stair lift to install. Jerry carefully measures the staircase and installs the system for a secure fit while preserving as much usable stairway space as possible.
Custom-built for staircases with turns, curves, or landings.
If your staircase is not straight, a curved stair lift provides a precise, tailored fit. Each system is designed specifically for your home, ensuring smooth operation and maximum safety on even the most complex stair layouts commonly found in older Mentor homes.
Dependable access for exterior steps in Northeast Ohio weather.
Porch steps, garage entrances, decks, and other exterior stairways can become just as difficult to navigate as stairs inside the home. Outdoor stair lifts are constructed with weather-resistant components designed to withstand the rain, snow, humidity, and temperature changes we experience in Mentor and throughout Lake County, providing safer access to important areas outside the home throughout the year.
A cost-effective way to improve mobility without sacrificing safety.
Refurbished stair lifts are thoroughly inspected, tested, and restored to reliable working condition. They offer a more affordable alternative to buying new, making them a practical option for Mentor homeowners who want dependable performance at a lower cost.
Keep your stair lift running safely and reliably.
If your stair lift is not working properly or showing signs of wear, we provide prompt, dependable repair and maintenance services. From battery replacements and error codes to performance issues, we help extend the life of your stair lift and keep it operating smoothly.
When you depend on a stair lift every day, even a minor problem can interfere with your ability to move comfortably through your home. Stair Lift Solutions provides stair lift maintenance and repair throughout Mentor and nearby Lake County communities. Whether your lift has stopped running, is moving more slowly than usual, isn’t charging properly, or is displaying an error code, Jerry can diagnose the problem and determine what is needed to get it operating properly again.
With more than 20 years of experience, Jerry services many major stair lift brands and can troubleshoot problems involving batteries, charging systems, safety sensors, controls, rails, and mechanical components. His goal is to repair your existing stair lift whenever doing so is safe and financially sensible. If the age or condition of the equipment makes replacement the more practical choice, he’ll explain why and walk you through the available options without pressuring you into purchasing a new system.
Preventive maintenance can also help keep a stair lift dependable as it ages. During a service visit, Jerry can inspect the lift for worn parts, charging problems, alignment issues, and other developing concerns that could eventually cause a breakdown. He keeps many commonly needed parts on hand, which can allow repairs to be completed more quickly and help Mentor homeowners avoid being without a working stair lift longer than necessary.

Jerry personally guides you through every step.

After evaluating your staircase, Jerry helps you choose the stair lift that best fits your home's layout, mobility needs, and budget. Every recommendation is based on what's best for you—not a one-size-fits-all solution.

For staircases that travel directly from one floor to another without curves or intermediate landings, a straight stair lift is typically the simplest and most affordable solution. Stair Lift Solutions provides professional straight stair lift installation in Mentor, Ohio, for homeowners who want safer, easier access between levels of their home. Jerry personally measures your staircase and helps you select a straight stair lift that fits your space, mobility needs, and budget before professionally installing and testing the system.
Today’s straight stair lifts combine dependable performance with features designed for safety and everyday convenience. Folding seats, armrests, and footrests help preserve usable staircase space when the lift is not being used, while built-in safety sensors stop the lift if an obstruction is detected. Battery-powered operation also allows many stair lifts to continue working during a power outage, an especially valuable feature for homeowners who depend on their lift for access between floors.
Straight stair lifts are also among the most cost-effective stair lift options because the rail does not need to be custom fabricated for curves or landings. Jerry works with multiple trusted stair lift brands, allowing him to recommend a system based on your needs rather than limiting you to a single manufacturer. Mentor and Lake County homeowners can choose from new and refurbished straight stair lifts, with professional installation, dependable local service, and ongoing support available after the lift is installed.


Curved stair lifts are designed for staircases with turns, curves, intermediate landings, or multiple levels. Unlike a straight stair lift, each curved stair lift is custom built to match the exact layout of your staircase, creating a smooth, safe ride from the bottom to the top of your home. Jerry carefully measures every staircase to ensure your stair lift fits precisely and operates reliably.
Every curved stair lift rail is manufactured specifically for your home, making professional measurements and installation essential. Jerry personally installs each curved stair lift and tests every feature before the job is complete. The result is a comfortable ride, dependable performance, and a stair lift that blends naturally with your existing staircase while helping you safely access every level of your Mentor home.

Jerry was certainly a blessing to me - I was discharged from the hospital and unable to walk and using a wheelchair for the first time. We have a ranch home but have 3 steps to get from our garage into our house which I could not do. A temporary Walmart ramp got me into the house that first day but I almost fell off with my husband pushing the chair on another occasion. Jerry had previously put a stair lift in to go down to our finished basement a few months prior just to have - never actually thinking I would use/need one!! He goes above and beyond and makes sure you can safely operate the lift and makes sure you actually demonstrate it before he leaves. Any mess, he cleans up which I really appreciated. I would have no qualms about recommended him to anybody.Posted on Google![]()

I had the pleasure of working with Jerry McNichol from Stair Lift solutions. He came to my home in Lyndhurst and was incredibly helpful and professional. I was so impressed with his work! He was meticulous and kept the area where he was working immaculately clean. And talk about detail oriented! Unlike other contractors I had spoken with, Jerry had great suggestions and advice on the best way to handle the installation. He did a fabulous job!
Most straight stair lift installations can be completed in 3–6 hours, allowing you to begin using your lift the same day in many cases. If you need a curved stair lift, additional time is required before installation because the rail is custom manufactured to match your staircase. Once the custom rail is ready, installation is typically completed within a single day by experienced technicians who thoroughly test the lift and demonstrate how to use it safely.
Yes. A curved stair lift is designed specifically for staircases with bends, turns, intermediate landings, or spiral sections. During your FREE home assessment, your staircase is professionally measured so a custom rail can be built to fit your home's exact layout. This ensures a smooth, safe ride while preserving as much stairway space as possible.
A professional stair lift maintenance visit includes a complete inspection of the rail, motor, batteries, charging system, seat, footrest, safety sensors, controls, and moving components. The technician will clean and lubricate necessary parts, check for wear, test all safety features, make any required adjustments, and ensure your stair lift is operating safely and reliably. Routine maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and extends the life of your stair lift.
The cost of a stair lift in Mentor, Ohio depends on your staircase design and the type of lift you need.
