About Burke County

County-wide stairlift service from Morganton to the foothills

Burke County sits in the western Piedmont foothills of the Blue Ridge, with the county seat of Morganton on the Catawba River and a ring of mill and railroad towns east toward Valdese and Hildebran. Lake James and Lake Rhodhiss frame the terrain, and the older two-story farmhouses, split-levels and lake homes here often have steep stair runs and sloped lots where a stairlift or weather-rated outdoor lift makes a home livable again.

We cover the whole county on one flat schedule, so a lake house off NC-126 costs no more to reach than a ranch in Drexel. No travel fees to the small towns. We work with foothills seniors and the county's many veterans on straight, curved and outdoor stairlifts.

Frequently Asked

Burke County stairlift questions answered

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

How much does a stairlift cost in Burke County?
A straight indoor stairlift starts at $2,800 installed. Curved lifts, built to your exact staircase, start around $9,000. For sloped lots and lake homes near Lake James or Lake Rhodhiss, a weather-rated outdoor lift runs about $4,000, and a heavy-duty model is roughly $5,050. Every price includes the in-home assessment, installation and a walkthrough. Financing is available from $79 per month, and we quote the full number up front with no surprise county-wide travel fees.
Do you really serve the small towns, not just Morganton?
Yes. We cover the entire county on one flat schedule — Morganton and Valdese, plus Drexel, Hildebran, Icard, Glen Alpine, Connelly Springs, Rutherford College, Salem and Rhodhiss. A lake home off NC-126 or a farmhouse in Connelly Springs costs no more to service than a ranch in town. The foothills towns are exactly where outdoor lifts for sloped lots matter most, and we install them there routinely.
What funding helps pay for a stairlift here?
Several programs can help. North Carolina's CAP/DA Medicaid waiver covers home modifications including stairlifts, up to $28,000 for qualifying members. Veterans may use the VA HISA grant (up to $6,800) through the Burke County Veterans Service Office. Rural homeowners 62 and older can apply for a USDA Section 504 grant up to $10,000. The Western Piedmont Council of Governments Area Agency on Aging can also point you to benefits counseling. We supply the contractor quote each of these programs requires.
Is there a travel fee for rural or lake addresses?
No. We charge one flat rate for the whole county. Whether your home is on Lake James, on the Rhodhiss shoreline, or out in Connelly Springs, there is no extra trip charge for the drive. The price we quote is the price you pay.
How fast can you install a stairlift?
A straight indoor lift is usually installed within 48 hours of your assessment, often the same week. Curved lifts are custom-built to your staircase, so those typically take two to four weeks from final measurement to install. Weather-rated outdoor lifts for sloped foothills and lake homes are generally installed quickly once we confirm the exterior run and power.
How do we get started?
Call (800) 965-0350 to book a free in-home assessment anywhere in Burke County. We measure your staircase, talk through straight, curved or outdoor options for your home, and give you a firm quote with no obligation. If a funding program applies, we hand you the documentation it needs. From there, most straight-lift installs are done within a couple of days.
