Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Lehigh County

Lehigh County, PA

We install across the Shelter House Historic District near Main Street (1734 stone, colonial-depth treads needing compact footplate rails) and the Macungie Street corridor, where brick row houses share party walls that affect stud anchoring. Alpine Street and the South Mountain Preserve edge hold mid-century ranches and newer colonials with standard 8-inch rise — straight-rail territory. Main Street Historic runs 1803-era Moravian homes with steep internal stairs where a curved rail is the only fit. Jasper Park off Vera Cruz Road adds post-war Cape Cods where freeze-thaw slate entries call for outdoor units. We also cover Salisbury, Lower Macungie, Allentown, Alburtis, and Upper Milford.

Verified Customer Reviews

Hear It From Your Emmaus Neighbors

Real stories from families across Lehigh County — drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below. Every review came from a verified customer.

Luis came to our 1840s Main Street home and measured a curved rail that wraps the central chimney. Every other company told us curved was not possible around that turn. He had the rail delivered in three weeks and installed in one long day. Our 1860s banister looks untouched.

Straight rail in our Alpine Street colonial. Three hours, no dust. Luis showed my wife how to operate it, tested the battery backup (which we used two weeks later during the March ice storm), and left a laminated care card by the charger.

Our flagstone front porch takes the worst of Lehigh Valley winters. Luis installed an outdoor stainless rail with a sealed motor — rated for freeze-thaw. Two winters in and the finish is unchanged. The weather cover clips on in under a minute.

Moravian stone home near Shelter House with 7-inch colonial treads. Luis specified a compact footplate so it does not overhang. He pulled the borough code reference before drilling into the stone to confirm it was fine for a historic home. The install cleared with no issues.

Heavy-duty unit for my father-in-law, 340 lb. Luis brought a 20-inch wide seat demo so we could confirm the fit before ordering. Install was five hours because the rail needed reinforcing brackets every third tread. Runs smooth, no strain.

Common Questions

Everything Emmaus Homeowners Actually Ask

Straight answers about cost, installation, and funding — no sales fluff. Browse by topic or call us if you have a question that isn't here.

What does a straight stairlift cost in Emmaus, PA?

A straight rail in an Emmaus colonial or Cape Cod typically runs $2,800 to $4,200 installed. A standard Alpine Street flight is at the low end; a longer three-story Main Street row house sits higher. Every quote includes the rail, carriage, battery backup, and same-day install.

How much is a curved stairlift for an Emmaus Moravian home?

Custom curved rails in Emmaus start at $9,000 and reach $14,000 for 1760s Main Street homes with two turns or a winder at the chimney. A Shelter House-adjacent stone home with a single top turn usually lands around $10,500. Every curve is laser-measured on site before the rail is built.

Is financing available for Emmaus stairlift installs?

Yes. Installment plans start at $79 per month with approved credit, and we accept all major cards. Most Emmaus customers finance curved and heavy-duty installs; straight rails are more often paid outright because they fall below the financing break-even.

Does Medicare or Medicaid cover stairlifts in Emmaus?

Original Medicare does not cover stairlifts. Pennsylvania Medicaid may cover through Community HealthChoices (CHC) or the OBRA Waiver for qualifying members. Approval runs through your CHC managed care organization or the Lehigh County Area Agency on Aging. Some Medicare Advantage plans sold in the Lehigh Valley also include a home-modification allowance.

How long does a stairlift install take in an Emmaus home?

A straight rail on a modern Alpine Street colonial takes 3 to 4 hours. A curved rail in a Main Street Historic Moravian home runs 5 to 7 hours because each custom section is joined and levelled on site. Outdoor installs on slate entry steps near Jasper Park add about an hour for anchor sealing.

Will the rail damage my Moravian-era hardwood treads?

No. The rail bolts into the tread edge, not the face, using six to eight stainless brackets depending on run length. When the lift is removed later the bracket holes are smaller than a coat-hook screw and filler plus matching stain erases them completely. We have removed units from 1800s Emmaus homes with zero visible trace.

Can you install around a central chimney in an 1803-era home?

Yes. A winder staircase wrapping a central chimney is one of the reasons curved rails exist. We laser-measure the exact angle of each winder tread and build the rail to that geometry. The motor handles two turns on one rail — one at the top, one around the chimney — without any speed change.

Do you handle the outdoor install on a flagstone Emmaus entry?

Yes. Flagstone and slate entry steps common in Emmaus need stainless-steel rail and an IP55-sealed motor because freeze-thaw cycles crack standard powder-coat finishes. We anchor into the stone with expansion bolts rated for the load, and the seat comes with a weather cover that ties off at the base.

Can Emmaus veterans use the HISA grant for a stairlift?

Yes. Service-connected veterans get up to $6,800 through the HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) grant; non-service-connected is $2,000. The grant is one-time, tax-free, and does not require repayment. Your prescribing provider at the Allentown VA Clinic (3110 Hamilton Boulevard, Allentown) submits the application with our itemized quote.

Does Pennsylvania offer a tax credit for home accessibility work?

Pennsylvania does not have a state stairlift tax credit, but medical-necessity stairlifts are deductible on federal Schedule A if your total medical expenses exceed 7.5% of AGI. A prescription letter from your doctor documents the medical necessity — keep it with your install paperwork for your tax preparer.

Which Pennsylvania Medicaid waiver covers stairlifts in Lehigh County?

Two programs apply in Emmaus. Community HealthChoices (CHC) is the standard Medicaid long-term services program for adults 21 and over who qualify for nursing-home level care. The OBRA Waiver covers adults 18 to 59 with severe developmental disabilities. Both can fund stairlifts as home modifications when approved by your service coordinator.

Are there Lehigh County or nonprofit grants for Emmaus seniors?

The Lehigh County Area Agency on Aging administers the Pennsylvania Options program with limited home-modification funds. Habitat for Humanity Lehigh Valley runs a Home Preservation program for income-qualified seniors that occasionally covers stairlifts. Rebuilding Together Greater Lehigh Valley also takes applications. All three have waiting lists — apply early.

A word from Luis

I have been installing stairlifts across Lehigh and Northampton counties for 15+ years, and Emmaus has some of the most interesting housing stock in the valley. A Shelter House-era stone home has tread depth I can only describe as colonial — often 7 inches deep — so I specify a compact footplate that does not overhang the next step. An 1803 House neighbor with flagstone treads at the entry needs outdoor stainless because winter salt melt cycles through these stones every year.
For the newer colonials off Alpine Street and Macungie Street the stairs are textbook American 8-inch rise, which means a standard straight rail goes in under four hours. I pre-measure everything on the first visit, send the quote the same day, and carry the install through myself. Every Emmaus job carries the 5-year drive warranty plus lifetime rail coverage.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Emmaus housing stock runs from 1734 Moravian stone construction to 1990s Alpine Street colonials, and the rail spec changes with every era. A 1760s Main Street home needs a compact carriage that clears a 7-inch tread; a modern Jasper Park split-level can take a standard footprint.

Call or text for a same-week home visit. Most Emmaus installs finish in one day, handle freeze-thaw cycles without finish damage, and carry the 5-year drive warranty plus lifetime rail coverage.
