About Franklin County
County-wide stairlift service from Farmington to Rangeley
Franklin County stretches from the shiretown of Farmington — home to the University of Maine at Farmington — north into the western Maine mountains around Sugarloaf, Saddleback and the Rangeley Lakes. Older farmhouses, split-levels and camp-style homes here often pair steep stairs with long winters, and heavy snow, sub-zero cold and freeze-thaw cycles make a reliable indoor or weather-sealed outdoor lift matter all year.
We treat the whole county as one service area, so a home in Eustis or Weld gets the same flat pricing as one in Wilton — no rural travel fees. We work with seniors aging in place and Maine veterans, and we know the back roads from Route 4 to Route 27.
Stairlift installation across every Franklin County community
We install in towns of every size — from county-seat neighborhoods to the smallest rural crossroads. If your community is in Franklin County, we cover it.

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 indoor stairlifts start at $2,800. Curved staircases, common in older Farmington and Rangeley farmhouses, run about $9,000 because each rail is custom-bent. Weather-sealed outdoor lifts for porches and decks start at $4,000, and heavy-duty models rated for higher weight start at $5,050. Every quote follows a free in-home assessment, and financing is available from $79 per month. Call (800) 965-0350 for a firm price on your stairs.
Do you really serve the small mountain towns, not just Farmington?
Yes. We treat all 19 Franklin County communities as one service area, from Wilton and Jay in the south to Rangeley, Eustis and Carrabassett Valley in the north. A home on a back road in Weld or Dallas Plantation gets the same pricing and the same crew as one in Farmington village. Call (800) 965-0350 and we will schedule a free in-home assessment anywhere in the county.
What funding helps pay for a stairlift here?
Several programs can offset the cost. MaineCare HCBS may cover home modifications including stairlifts for members at a nursing-facility level of care. Veterans can apply for the VA HISA grant of up to $6,800 through the Maine Bureau of Veterans' Services Lewiston office. USDA Section 504 offers rural grants up to $10,000 for those 62 and older, and SeniorsPlus can help with benefits counseling. We assist with the contractor quote each program requires.
Is there a travel fee for rural addresses?
No. We charge flat county-wide pricing, so there is no added travel fee for homes in Eustis, Rangeley, Carthage or any other corner of Franklin County. The distance to your mountain or lakeside home does not change your quote — only the staircase does. Call (800) 965-0350 to book a free in-home assessment.
Will a stairlift hold up to Franklin County winters?
Yes. Indoor lifts are unaffected by weather, and our outdoor models are weather-sealed with covers built to handle heavy snow, sub-zero cold and freeze-thaw cycles common across the western Maine mountains. We position outdoor rails to shed snow and ice, and battery backup keeps the lift running through the winter power outages that hit rural towns like Weld and Dallas Plantation.
How do we get started?
Call (800) 965-0350 to book a free in-home assessment anywhere in Franklin County. We measure your staircase, recommend a straight, curved or outdoor lift, and give you a firm price with no obligation. Most straight-stair installations are finished within about 48 hours of approval, and financing from $79 per month is available if you want to spread out the cost.
