Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Oakland County

Oakland County, MI

Clawson is a compact city where almost every block shares the same postwar building stock. Streets between 14 Mile Road and Manitou Avenue hold 1940s Cape Cods and bungalows with steep narrow attic stairs - our most common slim-profile install in Oakland County. South of Manitou toward Lincoln Avenue and Custer Avenue the homes shift to 1950s ranches with finished basements. Blocks along Rochester Road include 1960s split-levels with mid-landing turns that need curved rails. Near the Hunter House on Main Street and the historic core around Selfridge Avenue, original hardwood treads stay - homeowners refuse to drill carpet through them. Around Clawson City Park raised front entries take outdoor weather-sealed units for Michigan freeze-thaw winters.

Common Questions

Everything Clawson 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 Clawson?

Straight rails in Clawson's ranches and bungalows run $2,800 to $5,500 installed. Curved rails for Rochester Road split-levels with landing turns run $9,000 to $15,000. Outdoor models for raised entries near Clawson City Park run $4,000 to $7,500. Every quote is written, honored for 30 days, and includes the rail, seat, battery backup, and the first service visit.

Does Michigan's MI Choice Waiver cover stairlifts?

Yes. The MI Choice Waiver covers home modifications including stairlifts as environmental accessibility equipment, with funding determined per care plan by your supports coordinator. In Oakland County the program is administered by AgeWays / Area Agency on Aging 1-B at 29100 Northwestern Highway in Southfield. We coordinate with your supports coordinator, file the service authorization paperwork, and schedule the install once approval comes through - typically 4 to 6 weeks.

Can the VA HISA grant pay for the full install?

For most straight-rail installs in Clawson, yes. The HISA grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected disabilities and $2,000 for non-service-connected - enough for a standard straight rail with battery backup and installation. The John D. Dingell VA Medical Center at 4646 John R Street in Detroit is 20 minutes from Clawson and processes HISA for Oakland County veterans. We prefill VA Form 10-0103 and coordinate directly with the HISA office.

Do you offer financing?

Yes - three lending partners with 0% APR for qualified buyers and low fixed-rate plans from $79 per month. The application is a soft credit pull, takes about 4 minutes, and approval is usually instant. Many Clawson families combine financing with the IRS medical-expense deduction to bring the effective monthly cost down further.

A word from Luis

Clawson is two square miles of postwar bungalows and ranches built between 1940 and 1965. I have measured staircases on almost every street in this city. The floor plans repeat - 900-square-foot ranches with finished basements, Cape Cods with steep attic bedrooms, the occasional split-level near 14 Mile. I know the stair widths, the riser heights, and which streets along Selfridge and Custer have the original hardwood treads homeowners refuse to drill through.

I show up within 24 hours, measure with a laser, and leave you a written quote before I get back in the truck. No pressure, no follow-up calls. If you qualify for the MI Choice Waiver through AgeWays or the VA HISA grant through the Dingell VA, I walk you through the paperwork the same day.
