About Franklin County

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

Franklin County sits in the heart of southern Illinois coal country, with the seat at Benton and a cluster of former mining towns — West Frankfort, Zeigler, Royalton — strung along IL-149 and IL-148 around Rend Lake. Many homes here are early-1900s miners' houses with steep, narrow staircases, exactly the layouts where a stairlift keeps an owner on both floors.

We treat the whole county as one service area, so a home in tiny Ewing or Valier gets the same flat pricing and free in-home assessment as one in Benton — no rural travel fees. We work with local seniors and the many veterans across the county to fit straight, curved and outdoor lifts.

Frequently Asked

Franklin County stairlift questions answered

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

How much does a stairlift cost in Franklin County?
Straight stairlifts start at $2,800 installed. Curved staircases, common in the county's older two-story mining homes, are custom-built and run about $9,000. An outdoor lift for porch or deck steps is around $4,000, and a heavy-duty model is about $5,050. Every quote includes a free in-home assessment, and financing is available from $79/month. We charge the same prices whether you're in Benton, West Frankfort or a small village like Ewing.
Do you really serve the small towns, not just Benton?
Yes. We cover the entire county — Benton and West Frankfort plus Christopher, Sesser, Zeigler, Royalton, Valier, Thompsonville, Orient, Buckner, Ewing, Hanaford, North City and West City. A home in any of these gets the same pricing, assessment and install timeline as one in the seat. There are no separate quotes for the smaller communities.
What funding helps pay for a stairlift here?
Several. The Illinois DRS Home Services Program (Persons with Disabilities Waiver) can cover stairlifts as environmental modifications for eligible Medicaid residents. IHDA's Home Repair & Accessibility Program offers up to $45,000 for income-qualified homeowners. Veterans may use the VA HISA grant (up to $6,800) through the Franklin County Veterans Assistance Commission, and rural homeowners 62+ may qualify for a USDA Section 504 grant up to $10,000. We supply the quotes these programs require.
Is there a travel fee for rural addresses?
No. We treat Franklin County as one flat service area, so there is no travel surcharge for rural homes outside Benton or West Frankfort. Whether you're near Rend Lake in Sesser, out by Andy's Creek in Hanaford, or down in Thompsonville, your price is the same as in town.
How fast can you install?
A straight stairlift is usually installed within about 48 hours of your assessment, often the same week. Curved lifts take longer because the rail is custom-built to your exact staircase, typically a few weeks from measurement to install. We'll give you a firm timeline at the free in-home assessment.
How do we get started?
Call us at (800) 965-0350 to book a free in-home assessment anywhere in Franklin County. We measure your staircase, recommend the right lift for your home, and give you a written quote with financing options from $79/month. If you plan to use a funding program, we'll prepare the documentation it needs.
