Expert Stairlift Installation in Ashwaubenon, WI

Straight rails run 2 to 4 hours on-site. We arrive, confirm the laser measurements, bolt the rail into the stair treads, mount the chair, test every safety sensor, and walk you through the remotes. Curved rails take 1 to 2 weeks for digital scanning and fabrication, but install day is still under 4 hours. No overnight workers, no multi-day disruptions.

Every outdoor install in Brown County ships with freeze-rated lubricant in the drive system, corrosion-resistant rail coating, and a marine-grade weather cover for the seat. Ashwaubenon averages 47 inches of snow per winter and subzero stretches that last for weeks — our outdoor specs are built for it. The IP55-sealed motor housing keeps out ice, road salt residue, and moisture. These are standard on every outdoor install, not add-ons.

Yes. Many of Ashwaubenon's mid-century split-levels along Cormier Road have steep basement staircases with turns at the bottom landing. We carry a slim-profile rail that takes up only 11 inches when the seat is folded, leaving enough passage for other household members. The steeper angle is handled by the motor's soft-start and soft-stop programming. We measure on the first visit and confirm clearance before quoting.

No. Wisconsin treats stairlifts as removable accessibility equipment rather than structural modifications, so no building permit is required from the Village of Ashwaubenon or Brown County. If a dedicated electrical circuit is needed — common in older homes with original wiring — our licensed electrician pulls the electrical permit and handles it. We manage all paperwork.

The HISA grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected disabilities and up to $2,000 for non-service-connected, paid directly to us. Your entry point is the Milo C. Huempfner VA Outpatient Clinic at 2851 University Avenue in Green Bay — part of the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center system in Milwaukee — about 10 minutes from Ashwaubenon. Get a prescription from your VA provider, and we prefill VA Form 10-0103 the same week. The Brown County Veterans Service Office on Dousman Street can also help.

Yes, through the Family Care managed-care benefit and the IRIS (Include, Respect, I Self-Direct) self-directed waiver. Stairlifts qualify as environmental accessibility adaptations under both programs (Wisconsin Medicaid billing code S5165) when they prevent nursing home placement. You must be a Wisconsin resident, age 65+ or an adult with a disability, and assessed as needing long-term care. Contact the Brown County Aging & Disability Resource Center at 300 South Adams Street in Green Bay to begin the assessment.

The Brown County Aging & Disability Resource Center at 300 South Adams Street in Green Bay connects seniors with programs that can offset home modification costs, including Family Care and IRIS referrals, HISA assistance for veterans, and other county-level support services. They serve all of Brown County including Ashwaubenon, Allouez, De Pere, and Bellevue. We work with their referrals regularly and walk families through the options during the free assessment.

Wisconsin does not offer a state-level deduction for medical equipment beyond the federal provision, but the IRS classifies a physician-recommended stairlift as a qualified medical expense under Schedule A. If you itemize on your federal return, the full installation cost reduces taxable income. We provide a physician letter template at your assessment so you have the documentation ready before install day.
