Stair Lift Companies in Portland: What to Check Before You Hire
Four things to verify before you hire a stair lift company near Portland — and which of them Bearson factually meets.
When comparing stair lift companies near Portland, check four things: how long they've operated locally, what licenses they hold, which brands they install, and what's covered by warranty. Bearson Enterprises has served Portland Metro and SW Washington since 1978, when founder Dave Bearson pivoted from general contracting into accessibility work after a family member's sudden illness in 1979.
Bearson is licensed in both states — Oregon CCB #16541 and Washington DAVEBBC962ND — and its technicians are factory-trained on every brand they install: Bruno (rated the #1 stairlift brand in the U.S.), Savaria, and Harmar. Every stairlift comes with a lifetime warranty on major components, and home elevators carry a 3-year parts warranty and ASME A17.1 certification.
Bearson is also VA approved with direct billing available, and Oregon Medicaid's K Plan waiver can cover stairlifts and home modifications with prior authorization and medical necessity documentation. The company currently holds a 4.9-star rating across 17 Google reviews.
