In Concord, I've measured Concordville Historic District stairs so narrow a standard rail bracket barely fits, and newer colonials off Route 202 with wide, open runs that take a straight rail in an afternoon. Either way keeps you on every floor without a move, and many Concord homeowners qualify for county help paying for it; ask about that when you book your measure.
Why a stairlift installed in Concord, PA is planned around the way this specific community lives, not stamped out from a one-size-fits-all template.
The township covers 13.64 square miles in southwestern Delaware County, sitting within both the Brandywine Creek and Chester Creek watersheds, with its southern border running along the Pennsylvania-Delaware 12-mile circle.

Common situations we get called out for across Concord's neighborhoods. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.
We've lived in our colonial on Concord Road since 1985. After my husband's hip replacement at Riddle Hospital, the stairs to our bedroom were impossible. All American measured on Tuesday, installed on Thursday. The rail mounts to the treads — our cherry banister wasn't touched. He's been riding it twice a day for three months without a single issue.
Dad is a Vietnam veteran and his knees gave out last year. The Coatesville VA wrote the HISA prescription and All American handled every form. The $6,800 grant covered the full straight rail in our Markham stone cottage. He was riding the lift three weeks after the first phone call. No runaround at all.
Our 1968 split-level near Concordville has two short stair runs with a 90-degree turn at the upper landing. Luis measured both options and recommended a single curved rail instead of two separate lifts. My mother rides from the front entry to the bedrooms without stopping. Four months in and it runs perfectly.
My mother-in-law lives alone in a 1970s home off Thornton Road with a carpeted staircase. The brown seat matches the carpet so it does not stand out. All American bolted the rail through the carpet into the wood treads — no pile cuts. Two of her grandkids walk past on the open side every Sunday.
We needed an outdoor lift for the walkout basement steps at our Glen Mills home. Seven concrete steps my father couldn't manage after his stroke. The weather-sealed unit handles rain, snow, and summer heat. Dad sits on the patio every afternoon now — something he hadn't done in five months.
I use a power wheelchair and a seated lift was not an option. All American installed a platform lift along the indoor stairway with yellow safety edges so I can see exactly where to roll on. The CHC waiver and HISA grant together covered the full cost. I ride between floors without leaving my chair.

(800) 965-0350 Call Now. It's FreeThe stone-front colonials and center-hall Georgians along Concord Road near the Brandywine give way to 1960s split-levels in the Concordville village around Baltimore Pike. The Garnet Valley corridor runs wide-tread two-stories with open plans that simplify straight-rail installs. Older homes along Smithbridge Road and Thornton Road hold steeper, narrower staircases built before modern code. Elam village near Wawa Road brings newer construction with finished basements that sometimes need a second rail. Homes near Glen Mills and Brinton Lake sit on larger lots with walkout basements. Markham village around the Newlin Mill Historic District holds stone cottages with tight period stairwells.

Stairlift Types
Bestseller
The standard choice for Concord Township's split-levels, colonials, and Garnet Valley two-stories. Over 70% of the stairlifts we install in Delaware County are straight rails — simple geometry, same-week install, bolted to the treads in under four hours.
vs Curved: 3x less expensive and installed in one visit. vs Home elevator: 10-15x less cost and no construction. vs Moving bedroom downstairs: Keeps your home exactly as it is.
Custom-Built
Custom-fabricated for the L-shaped and landing-turn staircases found in Concord Township's center-hall colonials and older Markham stone cottages. The rail is manufactured to your exact staircase geometry after a laser scan on the first visit.
vs Straight with landing break: One smooth ride instead of transferring seats. vs Home elevator: Half the cost, no construction permits, no shaft needed. vs Moving: A fraction of what selling and relocating costs.
Weather-Tough
Built for Pennsylvania's freeze-thaw cycles, summer humidity, and winter ice. Every outdoor component carries an IP55 weather seal, UV-stabilized upholstery, and a heated rail option for Concord Township winters along Smithbridge Road.
vs Standard stairlift outdoors: Won't rust, seize, or void its warranty. vs Exterior ramp: No permits, no concrete work, no lost yard. vs Home entry renovation: Installed in a single day.
600 lb Rated · From $5,050
When comfort and capacity exceed the standard 300 lb limit. The reinforced frame handles up to 600 lb with a 22-inch padded seat — wider than any standard model — and the same quiet soft-start motor used on our Garnet Valley installs.
vs Standard stairlift: Extra capacity and wider seat for maximum comfort. vs Custom furniture lift: A fraction of the price with faster install. vs Home elevator: Much lower cost with the same weight confidence.

It depends mostly on whether your staircase is straight or has a turn. A straight rail on a Concordville-area colonial is the simpler, cheaper install. A curved rail for one of the older homes near the historic district — with a landing or a turn partway up — costs more because the rail has to be custom-measured to that specific stairwell. We give you an exact number after seeing the stairs, not before.
For most Concord Township homeowners, yes. Median household income here was $86,680 as of the last census, and the housing stock skews toward larger, older homes that are expensive to retrofit with a first-floor bedroom or bath. A stairlift solves the same problem — getting upstairs safely — for a fraction of a renovation, and it goes in without touching the structure of a 1700s-era home.
Not necessarily. The Delaware County Whole Home Repair Program, run through Habitat MontDelco, covers up to $50,000 per home for health, safety, and accessibility work, and stairlifts are specifically named as an eligible service. There's also the PA Assistive Technology Foundation, which offers 0% mini-loans up to $7,000 and low-interest loans up to $60,000 with no income limit, so financing doesn't have to mean paying it all at once.
Yes — we've installed in homes near the Concordville and Ivy Mills Historic Districts without altering the original staircase. The rail mounts to the treads, not the wall, so it works on the narrower stairs common in houses built when the Newlin Grist Mill was still new construction. If your stairs are tight, that's exactly the case where measuring first matters most.
A straight-rail job, common in Concord's newer colonial-style subdivisions, usually wraps up in a few hours. A curved rail — more typical in the older housing stock near the historic districts — takes longer because the rail is custom-built to the exact turns and landings of that staircase before our crew ever shows up to install it.
Curved rail is built for exactly that. We measure every step, turn, and landing on-site and the manufacturer fabricates the rail to match, so it follows the staircase rather than forcing a straight line through a house that wasn't built with one.
The one most Concord Township homeowners qualify for is the Whole Home Repair Program, administered locally by Habitat MontDelco — up to $50,000 per home, stairlifts explicitly eligible, apply through their inquiry form or call Delaware County at 610-891-4943. If you're on Medicaid managed care, the Community HealthChoices Waiver can also fund a stairlift as a home adaptation within your service plan — start with Delaware County COSA at 610-490-1300.
Yes. The PA OPTIONS Program, run through Delaware County COSA, is state-funded for residents 60 and up and can cover home modifications on a sliding cost-share basis — it's a discretionary benefit set by the local Area Agency on Aging, so call COSA at 610-490-1300 to ask what's currently available. Given that 25% of Concord's population is 65 or older, this is the program our older clients here run into most often.
The VA offers two paths. The Special Home Adaptation grant pays up to $25,350 in FY2026 for accessibility modifications to a home you already own, and the Specially Adapted Housing grant goes up to $126,526 for more extensive changes — both usable across up to six occasions in a lifetime. Call VA Loan Guaranty at 1-877-827-3702 to start the application, or ask your VA prosthetics rep about coverage for the lift itself, which has no fixed dollar cap when medically prescribed.
Concord Township Stairlift Specialist · 15+ yrs
I've measured stairwells in Concordville Historic District homes where the tread depth barely fits a standard rail bracket, and I've measured brand-new colonials off Route 202 with wide, open staircases that take a straight rail in an afternoon. Concord isn't one kind of house, so I don't quote it like one — I walk the stairs first, then talk price. What surprises people most isn't the equipment, it's how many of them qualify for help paying for it through the county.
