Vertical Chair Lift Install

AmeriGlide Platform Lift

For the past few weekends the Des Moines Remodelers Council including myself, have been working at the home of a long time employee of Gilcrest/Jewett, Janet Kauzlarich, who has been diagnosed with ALS and was in need of alterations to her home so that she could  continue to live there. The Des Moines HBA Builders Care has been installing 3 wheel-chair accessible doors and a vertical chair lift so that Janet will have access to her garage on the basement level. 

Through the Floor

The major portion of the project was spent cutting through a spare bedroom floor and installing the AmeriGlide Vertical Platform Lift. Having never installed a platform lift of this type there was a learning curve with very little helpful information for our specific installation found on the internet. Most of the information that was on the web seemed to be geared to exterior installations. 

Though there will be adjustments made for the next time we install a platform lift of this type, overall all it turned out very well.

Very Happy Homeowner

Thanks to the efforts of many individuals and companies of the Des Moines Remodelers Council Janet has access to her car and more independence in her home.
