Expert Stairlift Installation in Bucyrus, OH

We live in a Queen Anne on South Walnut Street that my grandparents bought in 1952. The staircase is original — steep oak treads, carved newel post. Two other companies said the stairs were too narrow. All American measured, installed a slim-profile rail that bolts to the treads, and my mother rides it morning and evening. The seat folds flat against the wall and the newel post is still the first thing you see in the front hall.

I worked at the Timken plant for 32 years and my knees are gone. The Crawford County Veterans Service Office in the courthouse helped with my HISA paperwork and All American prefilled every form. The grant covered $6,800 and I was riding the lift five weeks after my first call. Luis explained every button at the kitchen table. No upsells, no surprises — written quote, honored exactly as quoted.

Our 1890s Victorian on East Mansfield Street has a staircase with a 90-degree turn at the upper landing. The walnut banister is original and we told every company we would not let them touch it. All American scanned the whole run and fabricated one curved rail that mounts only to the treads. My husband rides from the parlor to the upstairs bedroom in one trip. The banister is untouched after four months.

Mom lives alone in a cottage off the Stetzer Road corridor and the basement stairs were terrifying her. She stopped going down to the cellar where she keeps her canning supplies and her chest freezer. Luis measured Tuesday, the crew installed Thursday, and Mom was back loading jars of tomatoes that weekend. The slim rail leaves 21 inches of clear passage. She calls it the best $3,200 she ever spent.

The front porch of our house on South Spring Street has eight flagstone steps and no railing sturdy enough for Dad to hold. He had not used the front door since last winter. All American installed a weather-sealed outdoor lift rated for Ohio freeze-thaw — snow, ice, salt. Dad walks out his front door, sits down, and rides to the sidewalk. He has used it every day since November including through three snowstorms.

I use a power wheelchair full-time and a regular stairlift was not going to work. Luis installed an inclined platform lift along the indoor stairway with yellow safety edges so I can see exactly where to roll on. Capacity is 600 lb, plenty for me and the chair. The PASSPORT waiver and HISA grant together covered the full cost through my Council on Aging coordinator. I ride between floors without leaving my chair.
