Who Installs Your Brand?

Some brands sell through local dealers, others send their own fitters.

A Home Visit Before Any Price, Often Free

Installers usually begin by coming out to measure the staircase, and that visit typically costs nothing. The National Council on Aging notes that many dealers give free in-home consultations, while ConsumerAffairs says the visit takes around 30 minutes. Free home visits are offered by Bruno, Stannah and Acorn alike.
