About Athens County

County-wide stairlift service from Athens to the old coal towns

Athens County sits in the Appalachian hills of southeast Ohio, where the Hocking River winds past the county seat of Athens and Ohio University before the land climbs into steep, wooded ridges along US-33 and US-50. Many homes here are older two-story farmhouses and split-levels built into hillsides, the kind of staircases that get hard to manage with age. A single county-wide installer means rural addresses in Glouster or Coolville get the same service as Athens itself.

We cover the whole county with no travel fees, from the Sunday Creek mining villages in the north to the river towns near the Ohio line. We work with seniors, veterans and families who want to stay in the home they know, and we are honest about the Appalachian reality here: tight rural budgets, which is why we walk every household through funding and financing.

Frequently Asked

Athens County stairlift questions answered

Straight answers from a crew that installs across Athens County every week.

How much does a stairlift cost in Athens County?
Straight stairlifts start at $2,800 installed — the right fit for most two-story homes in Athens, Nelsonville and the villages. A curved lift, custom-built for staircases that turn or have a landing, runs around $9,000. Outdoor lifts for porches and hillside entries start near $4,000, and heavy-duty models that carry up to 600 lb are about $5,050. We quote a flat price at the free in-home assessment, with financing from $79/month if you'd rather spread it out.
Do you really serve the small villages, not just Athens?
Yes. We cover the entire county at one flat rate — from the Sunday Creek coal towns of Glouster, Trimble and Jacksonville in the north to Coolville and Stewart near the Ohio River, plus The Plains, Chauncey, Buchtel and Albany. Rural addresses get the same service and pricing as the city of Athens. No village is too small or too far.
What funding helps pay for a stairlift here?
Several options. Ohio's PASSPORT Medicaid waiver, run locally by Buckeye Hills Regional Council, can cover home modifications including stairlifts (up to $10,000 a year) for eligible adults. Veterans may qualify for a VA HISA grant of up to $6,800 through the Athens County Veterans Service Office. USDA Section 504 grants and loans help income-qualified rural homeowners, and most of this county is rural. We'll point you to the right one and supply the contractor quote.
Is there a travel fee for rural addresses?
No. We charge one flat county-wide rate whether you're in downtown Athens, up a hollow off US-33 near Buchtel, or out toward Coolville on US-50. The hilly, spread-out terrain of Athens County is exactly why we built a single crew to cover the whole county — so distance never adds to your bill.
How fast can you install?
A straight stairlift is usually installed within 48 hours of your assessment, often the same week. Most straight installs take two to four hours and need no construction — the lift mounts to the stair treads, not the wall. Curved lifts are custom-built to your exact staircase, so those take a few weeks to manufacture before we schedule the fitting.
How do we get started?
Call (800) 965-0350 to book a free in-home assessment anywhere in Athens County. A specialist measures your staircase, recommends the right lift, and gives you a firm flat price with no travel fee. If funding through PASSPORT, the VA or USDA is a fit, we help line up the paperwork. Financing starts at $79/month.
