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.

Verified Customer Reviews

Hear It From Your Clawson Neighbors

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

My parents bought their Clawson ranch on Lincoln Avenue in 1958 and have lived there ever since. Dad is 91 and the upstairs bedroom was the last obstacle. Luis installed a straight rail in two hours flat. Dad went up that afternoon to nap in his own room. He has not missed a day since.

Our 1947 Cape Cod near 14 Mile has the tight attic stairs every Clawson bungalow has. My mother refused to switch bedrooms. Luis fit a slim brown-seat rail along the wall and the folding footrest tucks flat so my kids still walk up and down. The wooden sideboard at the bottom did not have to move an inch. Mom sleeps in her own room every night.

I am a Korean War veteran and did not know the HISA grant existed until Luis told me. He filled out every form, drove them to the Dingell VA at 4646 John R Street himself, and the grant covered the entire straight-rail install. I did not pay a dime. After 70 years of government paperwork, this was the first time someone actually handled it for me.

The February ice storm knocked our power out for two days on Rochester Road. The battery backup on the curved stairlift ran the whole time - my mother made at least eight round trips. For a Michigan winter, that battery is not optional. It is the most important part of the install.

My father qualified for Michigan's MI Choice Waiver and the state covered the full cost of a straight-rail install on Custer Avenue. Luis coordinated with the AgeWays supports coordinator in Southfield and handled every form. From the first phone call to install day, four weeks total. I expected it to take six months.

We needed an outdoor lift for our raised front entry near Clawson City Park - six concrete steps that turn into an ice rink every December. Luis installed a weather-sealed unit with a cold-weather battery. It has run through the whole Michigan winter without one problem. Mom walks out her front door every morning to get the paper.

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.

How long does a straight-rail install take in Clawson?

Most straight-rail installs in Clawson's ranches and bungalows take 2 to 3 hours. The postwar homes here were built on repeating floor plans - consistent riser heights, standard tread widths, predictable stair geometry. These are among the fastest installs in Oakland County.

My bungalow has steep stairs to the attic bedroom. Can you handle that?

Yes. Clawson's 1940s and 1950s Cape Cods and bungalows along 14 Mile and Manitou frequently have steep narrow attic stairs. We fit a slim-profile rail that bolts to the treads, not the walls, and a folding footrest that tucks flat when parked so the staircase stays passable for everyone else. The install typically takes 3 to 3.5 hours.

Will the stairlift work during a winter power outage?

Every stairlift we install runs on a battery backup that charges automatically from a standard outlet. The battery carries 20 or more round trips on a full charge. Michigan ice storms and winter power outages are routine in Oakland County - the battery is baseline, not optional.

Do I need to modify my stairs before the install?

No. The rail mounts directly to the stair treads, never into the wall or banister. We bring everything - mounting hardware, battery, rail, seat. The only preparation is clearing the staircase of any loose items. Your walls, carpet, and handrails stay exactly as they are.

What Michigan state programs help pay for a stairlift?

The primary program is the MI Choice Waiver, which covers home modifications including stairlifts for Medicaid-eligible residents who need nursing-home-level care. In Oakland County the program runs through AgeWays / Area Agency on Aging 1-B in Southfield. Michigan also has assistive-technology loan programs through Michigan Rehabilitation Services. We help determine which program fits your situation during the free in-home assessment.

How does the VA HISA grant work for Oakland County veterans?

The HISA grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected disabilities and $2,000 for non-service-connected. You need a prescription from a VA provider stating the modification is medically necessary. The John D. Dingell VA Medical Center at 4646 John R Street in Detroit processes HISA for Oakland County veterans. We prefill the paperwork, walk you through the process, and coordinate directly with the HISA office. Typical turnaround is 4 to 8 weeks.

Can I deduct the stairlift on my taxes?

If a licensed Michigan physician recommends the stairlift in writing, the IRS classifies it as a qualified medical expense under Schedule A. We provide the physician letter template. Michigan has a flat 4.25% state income tax, so you may see both federal and state savings if you itemize. The installation cost reduces taxable income - typically worth $600 to $2,400 depending on your federal bracket.

What if I don't qualify for any government program?

Most Clawson families use one of our three financing partners - 0% APR for qualified buyers, low fixed-rate plans from $79 per month, and a soft credit pull that takes 4 minutes. You can also combine the IRS medical deduction with financing to reduce the effective monthly cost. We walk through every option during the free assessment.

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.
