Expert Stairlift Installation in Burlington, NJ

Straight rails are 2 to 4 hours on-site. We arrive, confirm the laser measurements, bolt the rail into the stair treads, mount the seat, test every safety sensor, and walk you through the controls. Curved rails take 1 to 2 weeks to fabricate at the factory but install day is still under 4 hours. No multi-day disruption to your home.

No. The rail bolts into the stair treads — it is self-supporting and never touches the wall, banister, or plaster. We have installed in dozens of High Street Victorians and Burlington waterfront rowhouses without damaging a single original detail. If the lift is ever removed, the only marks are small holes in the tread wood, nothing else.

A stairlift plugs into a standard 120V outlet. In older waterfront rowhouses with original 60-amp service or knob-and-tube wiring, the outlet near the stairs may not handle the peak draw. If we need a new dedicated circuit, our NJ-licensed electrician pulls the permit and handles the inspection. We tell you at the assessment whether a new circuit is needed.

Every stairlift we install runs on a rechargeable battery that charges continuously from a standard 120V outlet. When power goes out — common during South Jersey nor'easters — the battery provides 15 to 20 full trips up and down. Outdoor models ship with cold-weather batteries rated for New Jersey freeze-thaw cycles, the kind that crack flagstone stoops along the Delaware waterfront.

The Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center at 3900 Woodland Avenue in Philadelphia is 30 minutes from Burlington and processes HISA grants for South Jersey veterans. The grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected disabilities and $2,000 non-service-connected, paid directly to us after a prescription from your VA primary care provider. We prefill VA Form 10-0103 and coordinate with the Crescenz HISA coordinator. Typical turnaround is 4 to 8 weeks.

Yes, through NJ Medicaid Managed Long-Term Services and Supports (MLTSS). MLTSS covers home modifications including stairlifts for individuals who need a nursing-facility level of care but choose to remain at home. You must be enrolled through one of the state's managed care organizations — Amerigroup, Aetna Better Health, Horizon NJ Health, Wellpoint, or United Healthcare. We handle the authorization paperwork and coordinate with your MCO.

Jersey Assistance for Community Caregiving (JACC) pays up to $1,090 per month for home-based services including home modifications for adults 65+ or adults with disabilities. JACC runs through your county Board of Social Services and is open to individuals not on Medicaid who meet the functional and financial eligibility criteria. Contact the Burlington County Board of Social Services at (609) 261-1000 for intake. We coordinate with the agency once you are approved.

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, and approval is usually instant. Many Burlington families combine financing with the IRS medical deduction, the JACC monthly benefit, or a partial HISA grant. We walk you through the math during the free assessment.
