Sincere thanks to both Mark and Glen. We are so happy that we decided to go with The Stairlift Store. You came through and exceeded our expectations. So happy with the end results. I highly recommend these guys.
heather shannon
I was very impressed with The Stairlift Store. I called for a quote on a Wednesday, and the stairlift was installed by Friday! Frank was friendly, professional and took the time to give us all the information we needed. The whole process was easy, pricing was transparent and the install was efficient. Highly recommend!
Mike Thorpe
Talked to them in the morning, they came out and installed it in the afternoon the same day! It was fantastic service.

Definitely recommend the Stairlift Store.
I have bought 2 stairlifts (one straight and one curved) from them for parents and grandparents in the past few years. They installed them neat and patiently to meet our requirements. Even after a while we just needed to adjust the seat and speed, their service was quick as they know we rely on these.
Both are very good quality. I just traded in the one from grandpa’s and no hustle at all just like they promised at the beginning.
All the staffs who I contacted, Frank, William and Mark are very nice and knowledgeable. I really like how consistent they are so you don’t have to ask for the same tech. And from this I know they are honest and trustworthy.

Third time the charm. Two seniors needed stairlift. Tried a used one, too noisy. Sent it back. Bought a new Acorn. Company could not fix loud thump when riding over track joint. Sent it back as well. Bought a used Acorn from Mark. Frank installed it this morning. We are so very happy with it. Excellent service. Whisper quiet ride, up and down, no thumps at track joint. Would heartily recommend this company.

shazia kamran
Our chair lift had a technical issue and we needed to get it fixed as soon as possible and Mark came on the same day to fix it .
Stair lift store and Mark are not like so many other stair lift companies who are charging for even minor repairs. I am so great full that I found such community oriented people who aim at helping out rather than just minting money for the services.
They are trustworthy and will suggest you ways to save money rather than making money out of you.
Response from the owner:Shazia, thank you so much for the kind words! We always try to do right by our customers and we're glad that comes through. Really happy we could get your stairlift fixed up same day. Don't hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything!

If you are looking for great stairlift chairs, these are the guys to go to! We have 2, and love them. We have had both of them for years. They make things so much easier for my Mum.
From installation, to repairs, these guys are the best in the business.
Mark always takes my calls, and answers any questions I have. If it’s something I can’t troubleshoot, he gets me the help I need.
Frank makes sure things get fixed and maintained. ( I have been known to accidentally break things lol ) Frank knows exactly what to do, and I am so grateful he gets things up and running so quickly.
This is great client service. Thank you Mark and Frank.
Response from the owner:Hayley, thank you so much for this, it really does mean a lot! We love that your Mom is getting so much out of her stairlifts and that they've made life a little easier for her.

Mark was very responsive to my initial inquiry and visited our home promptly and gave us a quote on a straight stairlift for my mom. There was no pressure and no long presentation, just the facts. He was able to send William to our house within 2 days and had the stairlift installed within a couple of hours. William was very pleasant to deal with and even demonstrated how everything worked. All in all, I would recommend Mark and his team at The Stair Lift Store for your mobility needs.

Last summer my brother's wife passed suddenly. They had a chairlift that my brother wanted removed as quickly as possible. One call to The Stairlift Store and Mark took care of everything. Pleasantly, professionally and with empathy and compassion for my brother's situation. We could not be more thankful and grateful to Mark and his team.
We would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone needing the services that they offer.
Response from the owner:Hi Al - thank you for taking the time to write this review. I'm glad we were able to help you out and make things hassle free during this challenging time for you and your family. Have a great day :)

Mark was very easy to work with selling our Acorn stairlifts. He was very polite and asked if we could drive them to his business. He ended up giving us more money than we asked, for our troubles. Highly recommend working with Mark and supporting a local business.

Response from the owner:Hi Greg, thank you for your review! Glad we were able to get this to you just before Christmas. Sounds fun "Rocket Chair" we may have to start using that term! If you ever ned anything regarding your stairlift just reach out. Thank you!
Gary MacKay
We had the Stairlift Store install our stairlift just prior to my wife's knee replacement surgery back in August. The service from start to finish was absolutely first rate. Mark arrived at our home and provided a very reasonable quote and shortly after arranged for it's installation. Everything was very smooth and the product worked perfectly. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone considering having one installed in their home.
The professionalism, the quality, the service and the price were all outstanding. I am giving Stairlift Store a 5 Star rating.

Doug S.
I had a great experience working with Marc at the Stairlift Store. I needed a few extra brackets for my Acorn stairlift, and Marc went out of his way to help me—even though it was a relatively small request. His willingness to take the time, answer questions, and make sure I had exactly what I needed really stood out.

On top of that, the quality of his work is excellent. It’s refreshing to deal with someone who truly cares about doing the job right and supporting their customers. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Marc and the Stairlift Store to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality stairlift service and installation.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review! We’re really glad Mark could help you with the brackets for your Acorn stairlift and make sure you had exactly what you needed.

Caroline Marshall Realtor
As a caregiver for my mom, I can’t say enough about the outstanding experience we had with this chairlift installation company. From the very first call, their team was kind, responsive, and truly understood the urgency of our situation. Communication was clear and consistent, and they went above and beyond to make the entire process stress-free for us.

The installation was completed quickly and professionally, with great care taken to ensure Mom’s comfort and safety. The technicians were respectful, patient, and took the time to explain how everything worked.

It’s rare to find a company that combines efficiency with genuine compassion — and this team truly does. The difference this chairlift has made in my mom’s daily life is incredible. Highly recommended for anyone looking for dependable, caring service.

David Cullen
All I can say is amazing. Both of my parents are not able to manage stairs. Today I was at the house and Dad had tried to contact Acorn Canada for 3 days with no response even though they pay 1400.00 a year for a maintenance plan. I thought I found an emergency number for Acorn but it was Mark from the stairlift store. He walked me thru a simple repair and the lift is working ok until we get a proper repair. Mark is incredible and once we are done with out Acorn contract we will use him from now on. Thank you Mark
Response from the owner:Thanks so much, David! We’re really glad we were able to help get your parents’ stair lift working again and walk you through the quick fix. Reliable stair lift service makes all the difference, and we appreciate your kind words and trust. We’ll be happy to help your family with any future stair lift needs!

J O
WOW! What an amazing team. My Acorn Stairlift, as for many people, is a lifeline and at around 10:30 this morning it came to a stop. Yeah, wouldn't move. Did the usual reset and checked that nothing was stuck under the chair, but no joy. At 11:00 I phoned The Stairlift Store for service. This week possibly? Within 24 hours perhaps? But less than an hour later super-tech FC phoned to say he would be at our door in Guelph in the next 30 minutes. Talk about relief, this was amazing service.

Problem diagnosed and fix completed. This really helpful and pleasant gentleman checked to make sure other likely culprits were functioning as they should and then did a return test run to confirm he was satisfied.

Satisfied? My partner and I were delighted. What fantastic service. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.
JO and MO
