Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Cook County

Cook County, IL

From the 1950s raised ranches and Cape Cods of Burbank Hills — leafy residential streets where narrow enclosed staircases connect finished basements to the main floor — to the brick bungalows of Burbank Village south of 79th Street with their L-shaped attic-conversion stairs, and the split-levels of Burbank Country Club on the village's outskirts, our team has measured stairs in every Burbank district. We work the Cape Cods along Central Avenue with their tight attic headers, the raised-ranch front entries off State Road, and the school-district-111 corridor split-levels. We also cover Oak Lawn, Hickory Hills, Justice, Summit, Bedford Park, Bridgeview, and Worth without travel charges.

Verified Customer Reviews

Hear It From Your Burbank Neighbors

Real stories from families across Cook County — drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below. Every review came from a verified customer.

Our raised ranch on Central Avenue in Burbank Hills has the narrow basement stairwell — 28 inches wall to wall — and 14 oak treads up to the bedrooms. Two other companies said the geometry was too tight. Luis brought the compact rail, measured twice, bolted straight into the hardwood. Three hours, no drywall touched. My father uses it every morning. The seat folds flat and we walk right past.

Mom has lived in the same Burbank Village brick bungalow for 43 years and she is not leaving. The L-shaped attic stairs had become the one thing she couldn't manage. Luis measured Monday, the curved rail came back in 10 days, install was Wednesday afternoon. She rides it up at night and down every morning. Written quote, fixed price, one continuous rail.

Our cottage on the Burbank Country Club edge has the original stone-tile treads and a wooden sideboard at the bottom landing. Three installers said the tile would crack. Luis used diamond-tip bits, drilled clean through, brackets flush. The brown seat parks right next to the sideboard. Three hours start to finish, no upcharge for the tile, no broken pieces.

Dad is a Korean War veteran, 91, still in his Oak Lawn house. The front stoop has seven flagstone steps that ice over every winter and the road salt eats every bolt. The outdoor rail has the freeze-proof battery rated to -20°F and galvanized hardware — rode through the January ice storm without a single issue. The HISA grant through Edward Hines Jr. VA at 5000 S 5th Ave covered $6,800.

We lost power for two days in the December storm and the cold-weather battery kept the stairlift running the entire time. My mother made it to the kitchen for every meal and back to bed every night without asking for help. The battery is rated to -20°F — built for exactly this kind of Chicago winter. That feature alone was worth the price of the whole install.

My husband uses a power wheelchair and our Justice home needed the indoor inclined platform — flat black deck, yellow safety edges, keyed lockout for our grandchildren. He rolls onto the platform, presses one button, and he is upstairs. Rated for 600 lb. The Illinois HCBS Persons with Disabilities Waiver covered the full cost. Six weeks from first call to install day.

Common Questions

Everything Burbank 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 in Burbank right now?

Straight rails in standard Burbank homes run $2,800 to $5,500 installed. Curved rails — needed for Burbank Village brick-bungalow attic conversions or 180-degree basement switchbacks — run $9,000 to $15,000 because the rail is custom-manufactured. Outdoor models with freeze-proof batteries and galvanized hardware for Chicago winters run $4,000 to $7,500. Every quote is written, honored for 30 days, includes installation, rail, seat, battery backup, and the first service visit.

My basement stairs are short — only 8 steps. Is the price lower?

Yes. Shorter runs use less rail and the equipment cost drops. An 8-step basement staircase in a typical Burbank Hills raised ranch needs about 8 feet of straight rail — the lower end of our pricing. Motor, seat, battery backup, and labor are the same regardless of length. We give you the exact number at the free assessment, written and honored for 30 days.

Are prices different in Burbank than Oak Lawn or Hickory Hills?

Equipment prices are the same across southwest Cook County — we do not inflate quotes by village. What varies is install labor for unusual conditions: preserving original tile in a 1950s Burbank Country Club cottage costs slightly more than a standard carpeted Hickory Hills two-story. Every line item is on the written quote before you sign.

Is a refurbished stairlift worth considering?

For straight runs, a certified refurbished unit saves 30 to 40 percent — factory-reconditioned with new upholstery, new cold-weather battery, 2-year warranty. For curved rails, refurbished is almost never possible because each rail is custom-fabricated for your exact stair geometry. If your Burbank Hills home has a standard straight basement run, ask about refurbished inventory at the assessment.

How long does a typical Burbank install take?

Straight rails are 2 to 4 hours on-site. We arrive, confirm measurements, bolt the rail into the treads, mount the seat, test every sensor, walk you through the controls. Curved rails take 10 to 14 days to fabricate but install day is still under 4 hours. No multi-day disruption to the household. We typically arrive at 8 AM and you are back to normal by lunch.

My basement stairs are only 28 inches wide. Can you fit a rail?

Yes. The compact-profile rail fits stairs as narrow as 26 inches, which covers nearly every Burbank basement stairwell built in the 1950s and 1960s. The seat folds to 11 inches, leaving enough clearance for other household members to walk past. Narrow stairs do not increase the equipment price. We confirm the clearance with a tape measure during the free assessment.

Will the rail damage my finished basement ceiling or condo walls?

The rail bolts into the stair treads — it is self-supporting and never touches the wall, ceiling, or low header at the top of the basement stairs. We have installed in dozens of Burbank basements with drop ceilings and drywall. If you live in an Illinois condo, the Condominium Property Act §18.4(q) protects your right to install accessibility equipment for a disabled resident. We provide the board paperwork at no charge.

What happens during a winter power outage in Burbank?

Every stairlift we install runs on a battery backup that charges continuously from a standard 120V outlet. When the power goes out — and it does during Chicago ice storms — the cold-weather battery, rated to -20°F, keeps the lift running for 15 to 20 round trips. We have had Burbank units ride through multi-day outages without a hiccup. No generator, no fuel, no setup.

I'm a veteran in Cook County. What VA benefits apply?

Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital at 5000 S 5th Ave in Hines (15 minutes north of Burbank) processes HISA grants for Cook County. The grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected disabilities and $2,000 for non-service-connected, paid directly to us after a prescription from your VA provider. We prefill VA Form 10-0103 and coordinate with the Hines HISA coordinator. The Cook County Department of Veterans Affairs at 69 W. Washington can help with additional benefits. Typical turnaround: 4 to 8 weeks.

Does Illinois Medicaid cover stairlifts?

Yes — through the HCBS Persons with Disabilities (PD) Waiver, administered by the Illinois Department of Human Services Division of Rehabilitation Services. The waiver covers environmental accessibility adaptations including stairlifts for residents who meet financial eligibility and the Determination of Need (DON) score for nursing-facility level of care. Contact DHS-DRS or the Illinois Aging hotline at 800-252-8966. We coordinate with your case manager once approved.

Are there any Illinois loan programs for accessibility equipment?

Yes — the Illinois Assistive Technology Program (IATP) operates the ATLoan$ Program with low-interest loans from $500 to $20,000 for home modifications including stairlifts. Below-market rates with terms designed for people with disabilities and their families. Contact IATP at 800-852-5110 to start the application. We provide the equipment documentation IATP requires for funding approval.

Do you offer financing?

Yes — three lending partners with 0% APR for qualified buyers and low fixed-rate plans starting at $79 per month. Application is a soft credit pull with no score impact, takes 4 minutes, approval is usually instant. Many Burbank families combine financing with the HISA grant or the IRS medical-expense deduction to lower the out-of-pocket amount. We walk you through the math during the free assessment.

A word from Luis

Burbank is a village of homeowners — over 80 percent own their houses, and most of those houses are the 1950s and 1960s raised ranches and brick bungalows that define the southwest Cook County suburbs. The basement stairs are narrow — often 28 inches wall to wall — the attic conversions are tight, and the homeowners are not leaving.

Here's how it works: I drive to your house within 24 hours, measure once with a laser, hand you a written quote good for 30 days. No pressure, no upsell. Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital at 5000 S 5th Ave is 15 minutes north, and I've prefilled the HISA paperwork dozens of times for Cook County veterans in Burbank Hills, Burbank Village, and Burbank Country Club.
