About Jackson County

County-wide stairlift service from Murphysboro to the Shawnee hills

Jackson County sits in southern Illinois with the seat at Murphysboro on the Big Muddy River, the university town of Carbondale at its center, and the Shawnee National Forest and Mississippi River bluffs along its edges. Many homes here are early-1900s frame houses and split-levels on hilly lots with steep, narrow staircases — exactly the layouts where a stairlift keeps an owner using both floors.

We treat the whole county as one service area, so a home in Makanda, Grand Tower or tiny Vergennes gets the same flat pricing and free in-home assessment as one in Murphysboro — no rural travel fees. We fit straight, curved and outdoor lifts for local seniors and the many veterans across the county.

Frequently Asked

Jackson County stairlift questions answered

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

How much does a stairlift cost in Jackson County?
Straight stairlifts start at $2,800 installed. Curved staircases, common in the county's older two-story 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 Murphysboro, Carbondale or a small village like Vergennes.
Do you really serve the small towns, not just Carbondale?
Yes. We cover the entire county — Murphysboro and Carbondale plus De Soto, Elkville, Ava, Grand Tower, Makanda, Campbell Hill, Dowell, Vergennes and the rural Harrison area. 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 Illinois Dept. of Veterans Affairs office in Murphysboro, 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 Jackson County as one flat service area, so there is no travel surcharge for rural homes outside Carbondale or Murphysboro. Whether you're up in the Shawnee hills near Makanda, out on the river at Grand Tower, or north in Vergennes, 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 Jackson 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.
