About Houghton County

County-wide stairlift service from Houghton to the Keweenaw copper towns

Houghton County sits on the Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan's far north, where the county seat of Houghton faces Hancock across the Portage Lake Waterway and Michigan Technological University anchors the area. This is old copper country, full of tall two- and three-story mining-era homes along Lake Superior and Torch Lake. Steep interior stairs are the real obstacle in these houses, and a properly fitted lift keeps a staircase usable through the region's long, hard winters.

The Keweenaw catches some of the heaviest lake-effect snow in the country — well over 200 inches a year — so we build for brutal cold and weatherproof every outdoor install. We cover the whole county from one crew with no travel fees, serving seniors aging in place and veterans from Houghton out to the small mine-location villages.

Frequently Asked

Houghton County stairlift questions answered

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

How much does a stairlift cost in Houghton County?
Straight indoor stairlifts start at $2,800, the most common choice for the two- and three-story mining-era homes in Calumet, Laurium and Hancock. Curved lifts that follow a turn or landing run about $9,000. Outdoor lifts for porch and deck steps start at $4,000, and heavy-duty models begin at $5,050. Every quote is firm after a free in-home assessment, and financing is available from $79 per month.
Do you really serve the small towns, not just Houghton?
Yes. We cover all of Houghton County from one crew — Hancock, Calumet, Laurium, Lake Linden, Hubbell, Dollar Bay, Chassell, South Range, Atlantic Mine, Painesdale, Dodgeville and Copper City, plus Houghton. A Torch Lake home in Hubbell or a mine-location house in Painesdale gets the same service and pricing as an in-town Houghton address, with no county-wide travel fee.
What funding helps pay for a stairlift here?
Michigan's MI Choice Waiver can cover stairlifts as an environmental modification for Medicaid members at nursing-facility level of care. Veterans may qualify for the VA HISA grant (up to $6,800) through the Houghton-Keweenaw County Veterans Service Office in Calumet. Rural homeowners 62 and older can use USDA Section 504 grants up to $10,000. UPCAP, the U.P. Area Agency on Aging, can help you sort out which fits.
Is there a travel fee for rural addresses?
No. We charge flat county-wide coverage, so a home out on the Torch Lake shore or in a former mine location pays the same as one in Houghton or Hancock. The free in-home assessment and the install both come with no added travel charge anywhere in Houghton County.
How fast can you install, even in deep Keweenaw snow?
A straight stairlift is usually installed within 48 hours of you approving the quote — often the same week. Curved lifts are built to match your exact staircase, so those take two to three weeks from measurement to install. The Keweenaw's heavy lake-effect snow doesn't stop indoor work, and we weatherproof every outdoor lift for the cold.
How do we get started?
Call (800) 965-0350 to book a free in-home assessment anywhere in Houghton County. We measure your staircase, recommend the right lift for your home, and give you a firm written quote — useful if you're applying through the MI Choice Waiver, the VA HISA grant or USDA Section 504. Financing from $79 a month is available if you'd rather spread the cost.
