About Coles County

County-wide stairlift service from Charleston to Mattoon

Coles County sits in east-central Illinois along I-57 and US-45, with Charleston — home of Eastern Illinois University and the 1858 Lincoln-Douglas debate ground — as the county seat, and Mattoon as the larger commercial neighbor to the west. This is flat prairie country, and the older two-story and split-level homes around the EIU campus and Mattoon's rail district are exactly where a stairlift keeps a staircase usable.

We install across the whole county under one flat coverage area, so a farmhouse outside Lerna pays no more in travel than a home in town. We work with seniors aging in place and with veterans, and we handle the measuring, install and after-care ourselves rather than handing it off.

Frequently Asked

Coles County stairlift questions answered

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

How much does a stairlift cost in Coles County?
A straight stairlift starts at $2,800 installed. Curved lifts, custom-built to your staircase, run about $9,000. An outdoor stairlift for porch or deck steps is around $4,000, and a heavy-duty model runs about $5,050. Every price includes the in-home assessment, install and testing. If buying outright isn't ideal, financing starts at $79 per month, and several Illinois programs below can offset the cost.
Do you really serve the small towns, not just Charleston and Mattoon?
Yes. We cover all of Coles County under one flat service area — Oakland, Ashmore, Humboldt and Lerna included. A home outside Lerna or up in Oakland gets the same pricing and the same crew as a house near the EIU campus. There's no separate quote or surcharge for the smaller villages.
What funding helps pay for a stairlift here?
Several routes exist. The IHDA Home Repair & Accessibility Program offers a forgivable loan for accessibility work for income-qualified homeowners. Illinois Medicaid's DRS Persons with Disabilities Waiver can cover home modifications. Veterans may use the VA HISA grant (up to $6,800) through the Coles County VSO. Rural homeowners 62+ may qualify for a USDA Section 504 grant. We supply the contractor quotes these programs require.
Is there a travel fee for rural addresses?
No. Coles County is flat coverage — a farmhouse near Lerna or a home in Oakland pays the same as one in downtown Charleston. We build county-wide travel into our standard pricing, so a rural address never costs extra.
How fast can you install?
A straight stairlift is usually installed within about 48 hours of your assessment, since it's built to standard staircase dimensions. Curved lifts are made to order from a measurement of your exact stairs, so those typically take two to four weeks to manufacture before we install.
How do we get started?
Call (800) 965-0350 to book a free in-home assessment anywhere in Coles County. We measure your stairs, talk through straight, curved or outdoor options, and give you a firm written price the same visit — useful if you're applying for IHDA, Medicaid waiver or VA HISA funding.
