Hear It From Your Broomall Neighbors
How stairlift projects tend to go for homeowners in Broomall. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.
We live in one of the stone twins in Lawrence Park, built in 1948 with narrow hardwood stairs and a wooden banister I've polished for 35 years. The crew matched the rail to the wall color and the folded seat barely sticks out. My neighbor across the twin wall didn't even hear the install. Quiet ride, clean work.
I served 24 years in the Navy and my knees finally gave out. The Crescenz VA on Woodland Avenue wrote the HISA prescription and All American prefilled the paperwork. The grant covered $6,800 and I was riding the lift six weeks after my first phone call. No runaround, no forms I had to figure out myself.
Our 1973 split-level on Cedar Grove Road has that landing turn: one company said we'd need two separate lifts. All American scanned the entire run and fabricated one curved rail bent for the 90-degree turn. My wife rides from the front entry to the bedrooms without stopping. Five months in, zero problems.
My mother qualified for Pennsylvania Community HealthChoices through Delaware County COSA. All American handled the install two weeks after the approval came through. She hasn't slept on the couch since December. The seat folds flat and the Winding Way hallway is still wide enough for her walker.
Dad needed the outdoor lift before the first ice storm off Sproul Road. The front porch flagstones were treacherous every winter and he'd already fallen once. I called Tuesday, they measured Wednesday, installed Friday. The cream weather-sealed seat handles nor'easters and summer storms without any issues. He uses it every single day.
I use a power wheelchair and a standard stairlift was not an option. All American installed an inclined platform lift with a flat black deck and yellow safety edges along the indoor stairs. The HISA grant and PA Community HealthChoices covered the 600 lb-rated unit. I roll onto the platform and ride between floors without getting out of my chair.

Stairlift Service Across Delaware County
Broomall sits in Marple Township, Delaware County, and the housing stock spans seven decades of Philadelphia-suburb development. Lawrence Park has 1940s-1950s stone and brick twins with narrow enclosed staircases and 13-14 hardwood treads: the standard straight-rail install. West Chester Pike carries 1960s center-hall colonials with wider stairways and open landings. Cedar Grove Road homes lean toward 1970s split-levels and raised ranches where the half-landing turn needs a curved rail. Winding Way near Marple Newtown High School has newer construction with engineered-hardwood treads. Along Sproul Road, older single-families with finished basements need straight rails on steep interior runs. Russell Road and the streets around Marple Public Library hold post-war Cape Cods with original tight treads.

Everything Broomall Homeowners Actually Ask
Straight answers about cost, installation, and funding, no sales fluff. Browse by topic or call us if you have a question that isn't here.
What does a stairlift cost for a home in Broomall?
Straight-rail units -- the right fit for a lot of the single-run staircases in Broomall's older colonials -- usually land in the $3,000-$5,000 range installed. If the stairs have a landing where they turn, which is common in the split-levels and capes near Darby Creek, you need a curved rail instead, and those run closer to $10,000-$15,000 because each one is custom-built to the exact staircase.
Why did one Broomall neighbor pay less than another for the same brand?
Configuration drives the cost swing more than the brand does. With 4,606 housing units in Marple Township built across different decades, stair width, rail length, and whether there's a turn at the landing all vary house to house, so two homes on the same street can get very different quotes on an identical stairlift model.
Is a used or reconditioned stairlift a cheaper option?
Reconditioned straight-rail units are usually available and can knock a real chunk off the price if your staircase is a standard single run, which a lot of Broomall's older housing stock is. Curved rails are almost always custom-built to the individual house, so used inventory for those is rare.
How long does a stairlift installation take in Broomall?
A straight rail is usually a same-day job once we've measured -- a few hours start to finish. A curved rail, because it has to be fabricated to match the exact turn in the staircase (common in the older homes near Darby Creek), typically needs a few weeks of lead time before install day, though the install itself is still done in a day.
Will a stairlift damage the staircase in an older Broomall home?
No -- the rail mounts to the treads of the stairs, not the wall, so it doesn't matter if the home is one of the older builds near the Thomas Massey House with original trim or plaster walls. That mounting method is also why a stairlift is fully reversible; if the house sells, it comes back off without structural damage.
Do I need a permit to install a stairlift in Marple Township?
Most interior stairlift installs don't require a building permit since nothing structural changes, but we confirm the specific requirement with Marple Township before scheduling so there's no surprise on install day.
What's the biggest funding source available to Broomall homeowners?
The Delaware County Whole Home Repair Program, run through Habitat for Humanity MontDelco, covers up to $50,000 per home for health, safety, and accessibility work, and stairlifts are named explicitly as an eligible repair. Reach the county at 610-891-4943, or start an inquiry through Habitat MontDelco's home repair inquiry form.
I'm a senior in Broomall but not on Medicaid -- is there still help?
Yes. The state-funded OPTIONS Program, delivered locally through the Delaware County Office of Services for the Aging (COSA), covers home modifications for residents 60 and older on a sliding cost scale tied to income -- it's not a Medicaid program. Call Delaware County COSA at 610-490-1300 to get an assessment started; they're also the intake point for the Community HealthChoices Medicaid waiver if that ends up being the better fit.
Are there funding options specifically for veterans in Broomall?
A few. The VA's Specially Adapted Housing grant goes up to $126,526 for FY2026, and the Special Home Adaptation grant up to $25,350, both usable across as many as 6 occasions over a veteran's lifetime -- call 1-877-827-3702. If a full grant isn't the right fit, the Pennsylvania Assistive Technology Foundation also offers 0% mini-loans up to $7,000 or low-interest loans up to $60,000 at 3.75%, no income limit, open to veterans and non-veterans alike.

I've been on stairs all over Marple Township, and the older homes near Darby Creek almost always have a mid-run landing where the staircase turns -- not a straight shot, so that's a curved rail, not an off-the-shelf straight one. Broomall skews older than most towns I work in, median age over 46 by the last census, and I feel it in the calls: it's rarely "someday," it's "my mother fell last week and we need this in before the holidays." Drummond Scientific still has people working right here in town, and a fair number of my Broomall calls are retirees asking the same first question -- will this ruin my staircase.
