Custom-Engineered Solution for Curved and Spiral Staircases
The Bruno Elite Curved Indoor Stair Lift is a custom-engineered solution for Portland homes with curved, spiral, or multi-landing staircases. Unlike straight stairlifts, each Elite Curved unit is precision-manufactured to match your exact staircase configuration—whether you have a gentle curve, tight spiral, intermediate landings, or multiple turns.
As a VA-approved contractor, Bearson Enterprises installs the Bruno Elite Curved for veterans through the Bruno VA Direct Program—often covering the entire cost with zero out-of-pocket expense. Serving Portland and SW Washington since 1978, our factory-trained technicians have successfully installed curved stairlifts in hundreds of homes—from historic Victorians with sweeping staircases to modern homes with architectural spiral designs (Oregon CCB #16541, Washington DAVEBBC962ND).

Frequently Asked Questions: Bruno Elite Curved Stair Lift
What Our Portland Customers Say
"Our 1910 Victorian has a beautiful curved staircase—and it was the reason we almost had to sell. Bearson installed a Bruno Elite Curved, and it fits perfectly! You barely notice it when folded. The custom rail follows every curve flawlessly. We get to stay in our dream home. Thank you, Bearson!"
Margaret & Paul D.
Irvington, Portland, OR
"As a disabled veteran, the VA covered the full cost through Bruno's program. My home has a spiral staircase, and I thought a stairlift was impossible. Bearson proved me wrong. The Elite Curved handles the tight turns perfectly, and I feel completely safe. Chris was amazing throughout the process."
David M., Veteran
Hillsboro, OR
"My mother's home has a switchback staircase with a landing. We consulted three companies, and only Bearson had a solution. The Bruno Elite Curved navigates the landing seamlessly. Installation took most of a day, but the team was professional and thorough. Worth every bit of the wait!"
