About Franklin County
County-wide stairlift service from St. Albans to the Canadian border
Franklin County sits in the Champlain Valley of northwest Vermont, with St. Albans — the shire town and old Rail City — anchoring an I-89 corridor that runs north to the Quebec line. Dairy farms, the Missisquoi River and lakefront roads spread homes far apart, and long, snow-heavy winters make a reliable stairway a real concern. A single county-wide installer means rural households from Richford to Georgia get the same service as in town.
We cover the whole county with no travel fees, serving seniors aging in place and veterans who earned their benefits. Many homes here are older farmhouses and split-levels with steep stairs, so we measure on site and fit straight, curved or outdoor lifts to each layout.
Stairlift installation across every Franklin County community

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. A curved lift custom-built for a turning or split staircase runs about $9,000. An outdoor lift for porch or deck steps is around $4,000, and a heavy-duty model with a wider seat and higher weight capacity is about $5,050. Every quote is fixed after a free in-home measurement, so the price you're told is the price you pay — no county-wide travel charge added on.
Do you really serve the small towns, not just St. Albans?
Yes. We install across the entire county — Swanton, Enosburg Falls, Richford, Montgomery, Franklin and every village to the Quebec border — at the same prices we offer in St. Albans. Rural farmhouses and lakeside homes near Lake Carmi or the Missisquoi River get the same in-home assessment and install as homes in town.
What funding helps pay for a stairlift here?
Vermont Choices for Care (Long-Term Care Medicaid) can cover home modifications including stairlifts for members at a nursing-facility level of care. Veterans may use the VA HISA grant of up to $6,800 through the Vermont Office of Veterans Affairs. USDA Section 504 offers up to a $10,000 grant for rural homeowners 62+. Age Well can help you find the right program. We provide the contractor quotes these programs require.
Is there a travel fee for rural addresses?
No. We charge one flat coverage area for all of Franklin County, so a home in Bakersfield, Fletcher or out near the border costs no more to service than one in St. Albans. The quote from your free in-home assessment is the full price.
How fast can you install?
A straight stairlift is typically installed within about 48 hours of your assessment, often the same week. Curved lifts are custom-built to your exact staircase, so those usually take two to three weeks for manufacturing before we schedule the install.
How do we get started?
Call (800) 965-0350 to book a free in-home assessment anywhere in Franklin County. We measure your stairs, recommend the right lift and give you a fixed price the same visit. Financing is available from $79 a month, with no obligation to proceed.
