About Des Moines County

County-wide stairlift service from Burlington to Mediapolis

Des Moines County sits in Iowa's southeast corner along the Mississippi River bluffs, with Burlington — the county seat and its largest city, known for the steep brick switchbacks of Snake Alley — anchoring the river edge. The land rolls inland from those bluffs to farm country along US-34 and US-61, so split-level and two-story homes are common. One county-wide installer matters here because a single crew handles every address, river-town or rural, without farming the work out.

We cover the whole county for one flat rate — no travel fee whether you live in town or out on a gravel road past Danville. We fit lifts for seniors aging in place and for veterans, and we plan around Iowa winters: sub-zero cold, snow and the spring flooding the river brings mean outdoor lifts get weather-rated rails and we schedule around the freeze.

Frequently Asked

Des Moines County stairlift questions answered

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

How much does a stairlift cost in Des Moines County?
A new straight stairlift starts at $2,800 installed. Curved staircases, which need a custom-bent rail, run about $9,000. An outdoor lift for porch or deck steps is around $4,000, and a heavy-duty model rated for higher weight is about $5,050. We quote a firm price after a free in-home assessment, and financing is available from $79 a month. There are no county-wide travel fees added to the price.
Do you really serve the small towns, not just Burlington?
Yes. We cover the entire county — Burlington and West Burlington plus Mediapolis, Danville, Beaverdale and Middletown. The same crew that works river-edge homes in Burlington drives out to gravel-road acreages near Danville and Mediapolis. There is no separate service tier or surcharge for the smaller towns; every address gets the same flat county-wide coverage and the same free in-home assessment.
What funding helps pay for a stairlift here?
Several programs can help. Iowa's HCBS Elderly Waiver may cover a stairlift for Medicaid members who meet nursing-facility level of care. Veterans can use the VA HISA grant (up to $6,800) through Des Moines County Veterans Affairs. For rural homes near Danville or Mediapolis, USDA Section 504 offers up to a $10,000 grant for owners 62 and older. Milestones Area Agency on Aging can screen you for benefits. We help with the contractor paperwork each program needs.
Is there a travel fee for rural addresses?
No. We charge one flat county-wide rate, so a farmhouse outside Mediapolis or an acreage past Danville costs the same to serve as a home in downtown Burlington. The free in-home assessment is free everywhere in Des Moines County, and the quoted lift price never includes a mileage or travel surcharge.
How fast can you install?
A straight stairlift is typically installed within 48 hours of approving the quote, since those rails are cut to fit on site. Curved staircases take longer — usually two to three weeks — because the rail is custom-bent to your exact stairs before installation. We schedule outdoor lifts around Iowa winters so we are not bolting rails during a deep freeze or a river flood.
How do we get started?
Call us at (800) 965-0350 to book a free in-home assessment anywhere in Des Moines County. We measure your stairs, talk through straight, curved or outdoor options, and give you a firm written quote with no obligation. If you plan to use the Elderly Waiver, VA HISA or USDA funding, tell us during the visit and we will prepare the contractor documents those programs require.
