About Carter County

County-wide stairlift service from Elizabethton to Roan Mountain

Carter County sits in the East Tennessee mountains, where the Watauga and Doe rivers cut through steep terrain along US-19E and US-321. Elizabethton, the county seat at the Doe River Covered Bridge, anchors a county of split-levels, hillside homes and older two-story farmhouses — the kind of stairs that get harder with age. We install straight, curved and outdoor lifts across the whole county, not just the seat.

Mountain roads put real distance between Roan Mountain, Hampton and the river valley towns, so a single county-wide installer matters here. We charge no travel fees anywhere in Carter County and help seniors and veterans line up funding. Many homes here are still rebuilding from the September 2024 Hurricane Helene flooding along the Watauga and Nolichucky watersheds; we work around that reality.

Frequently Asked

Carter County stairlift questions answered

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

How much does a stairlift cost in Carter County?
A new straight stairlift starts at $2,800 installed. Curved lifts, which are custom-built to your staircase, start around $9,000. Outdoor lifts for porch or entry steps start at $4,000, and heavy-duty models run about $5,050. Used and rental options can lower the cost further, and financing is available from $79/month. After a free in-home assessment we give you one firm price for your specific stairs — no county-wide travel fees added.
Do you really serve the small towns, not just Elizabethton?
Yes. We install in every community in Carter County — Hampton, Roan Mountain, Valley Forge, Hunter, Central, Pine Crest, Biltmore, Watauga and Elizabethton. Mountain roads put distance between these towns, but our coverage is the whole county at one flat rate. A home up on Roan Mountain costs no more to service than one in the river valley.
What funding helps pay for a stairlift here?
Several programs can help. TennCare CHOICES (Tennessee Medicaid) covers minor home modifications including stairlifts for members at nursing-facility level of care. Veterans may qualify for a VA HISA grant up to $6,800 through the Carter County Veterans Service Office. Rural homeowners 62+ can use a USDA Section 504 grant up to $10,000. The First Tennessee Area Agency on Aging can help you sort out which fits.
Is there a travel fee for rural addresses?
No. We cover all of Carter County at one flat rate, whether your home is in Elizabethton or up a hollow near Roan Mountain. The assessment is free and there is no mileage charge for rural or mountain addresses — that is part of being a true county-wide installer rather than one that only works the county seat.
How fast can you install a stairlift?
Straight stairlifts are usually installed within 48 hours of your assessment, often the same week. Curved lifts are custom-built to your staircase, so they typically take a few weeks to manufacture before installation. If a home is being repaired after the 2024 Helene flooding, we coordinate timing around that work so the lift goes in once your stairs are ready.
How do we get started?
Call (800) 965-0350 to book a free in-home assessment anywhere in Carter County. We measure your staircase, talk through straight, curved or outdoor options, and give you one firm price with no travel fee. If you plan to use TennCare, VA HISA or a USDA grant, we provide the contractor quote those programs require.
