Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Berks County

Berks County, PA

Exeter Borough splits into distinct housing eras that each need a different rail approach. The Wyoming Avenue corridor and Schooley Avenue have 1915-1935 coal-patch twins and singles — narrow 30-32 inch stair runs and original oak treads that accept custom lag patterns well. Slocum Avenue and the area around Exeter Cemetery run a bit newer, 1940s-1960s Cape Cods and bungalows with 34-inch runs. Upper Exeter and the Harding village section are mostly mid-century ranches with interior split-foyer stairs. The newer developments off West 8th Street near Route 92 are 1990s-2010s colonials with modern 36-inch runs that fit standard rails without modification.

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

Our 1924 twin on Wyoming Avenue had a stair that two other installers said was too narrow for a rail. Luis measured, pulled out his phone to show me a past install in a similar patch twin, and ordered a custom-offset rail. Installed in four hours and hasn't missed a beat in ten months.

Mom's ranch up in Harding village needed a lift after her hip replacement and Luis had it quoted and installed within six days. He filed the CHC Waiver paperwork through Keystone First and it reimbursed about 80% of the cost. Zero dollars out of pocket — just a lot of patience for the paperwork to clear.

Luis installed a curved rail on our 1928 Schooley Avenue home around the original turned-wood newel. He showed me the 3D measurement file before ordering the rail and walked me through what each bend would cost. Five weeks later it fit like it had always been there. Didn't touch the newel post once.

I'm Army Reserve retired and Luis handled the HISA paperwork at the Wilkes-Barre VA for me. Prosthetics approved it in about three weeks. The $4,100 outdoor rail to our back entry off West 8th Street cost me nothing out of pocket. He returned twice to check the heated seat through February's freeze-thaw and adjusted the tension for free.

Our Slocum Avenue bungalow has stairs that are almost 100 years old and my husband is 280 lbs. Luis specced a 600-lb heavy-duty rail and mounted it with longer lag screws into the treads because the stringers were a little flexed. A year later it still runs smooth.

Luis installed an indoor platform lift in our Upper Exeter split-foyer for our daughter who uses a power chair. The yellow safety edges help her line up the chair without rolling off. He coordinated with the Luzerne County inspector and the install passed on the first visit.

Common Questions

Everything Exeter 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 actually cost installed in Exeter Borough?

A straight rail under 14 feet on a standard Exeter home — the post-1990 West 8th Street profile — runs $2,800 to $3,600 installed, including battery-backed motor, two remotes, and a 5-year parts warranty. Add $450 if the stairs need a custom offset to clear a 1920s coal-patch newel.

Why do curved rails on Wyoming Avenue coal-patch twins cost more?

Those 1920s twins have narrow turns around original closed newel posts. The rail is laser-measured in 3D, then fabricated in Pennsylvania to fit your exact geometry. Typical cost is $9,000 to $14,500. It's single-use — the rail fits your stairs and no one else's.

Are there hidden fees I should watch for in an Exeter install?

Three common ones. Electrical: if your 1920s home has ungrounded wiring or the top-of-stairs outlet shares a circuit with the furnace, a licensed electrician runs $220-380 to separate the circuit. Permits: Luzerne County requires an electrical permit, about $75. Disposal of an old lift: $150 if we're replacing one.

Can I finance a stairlift in Exeter and what does it cost monthly?

Yes. A $3,200 straight rail financed over 60 months at our standard rate works out to about $79/month. We also offer 0% promotional financing for 12 months on approved credit — useful if you're waiting on CHC Waiver approval or a VA HISA grant to clear.

How long does a straight stairlift install take on an Exeter home?

3 to 4 hours start to finish on a standard 14-foot straight flight. Curved rails take one day to install, but measurement-to-ride runs 4-5 weeks because the rail ships from the fabricator.

Do stairlifts in 1920s coal-patch twins damage original woodwork?

The rail bolts into the tread itself, not the wall, using 3-inch stainless lag screws in pre-drilled pilot holes. When you remove the lift, six pilot holes remain per tread — filled and finished in 20 minutes. We don't drill the banister, the newel post, or the original wainscot.

Will a stairlift block the stairs for other people in an Exeter twin home?

The seat, footrest, and armrests fold to an 11-inch profile. On a 30-inch-wide coal-patch stair, that leaves 19 inches of clearance — enough for most adults but tight for a walker-user. I'll measure your specific stair and tell you honestly before you commit.

Does Exeter Borough require permits for a stairlift?

Exeter requires a Luzerne County electrical permit (~$75) if we run a new outlet. The inspector signs off within 5-10 business days. No separate borough permit is required for the lift itself since it's classified as removable equipment, not a structural modification. I file the paperwork.

Does Medicare cover a stairlift in Exeter?

Original Medicare does not — stairlifts are classified as home modifications, not durable medical equipment. Some Medicare Advantage plans sold in Luzerne County (Geisinger Gold, Highmark Community Blue) offer supplemental flex benefits of $500-2,000 toward in-home mobility. Call your plan's OTC/flex benefit line and ask specifically.

How do I use the Community HealthChoices (CHC) Waiver for a stairlift in Exeter?

Pennsylvania's CHC Waiver covers stairlifts under Environmental Accessibility Adaptations for Medicaid-eligible seniors and adults with physical disabilities at nursing-home level of care. Enroll through your CHC managed-care organization (Keystone First, UPMC CHC, or PA Health & Wellness). For adults under 60 with developmental or physical disabilities, the OBRA Waiver covers similar modifications. Approvals run 30-60 days.

Can Exeter veterans use a VA HISA grant for a stairlift?

Yes. Service-connected veterans can receive up to $6,800 through HISA; non-service-connected veterans up to $2,000. Apply through the prosthetics department at Wilkes-Barre VA Medical Center (1111 East End Blvd, Wilkes-Barre) — your primary care provider submits VA Form 10-0103. Funds pay the installer directly.

Is a stairlift tax-deductible in Pennsylvania?

If a physician documents medical necessity, the portion exceeding added home value is deductible as a medical expense on Schedule A (IRS Pub 502). Pennsylvania does not offer a separate state medical-expense credit, but the PA Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program may offset some rebate-eligible household costs for seniors over 65 with income under $45,000.

A word from Luis

Exeter's housing stock tells you everything. The 1920s coal-patch homes along Wyoming Avenue and Schooley Avenue have 28-to-34-inch stair widths and original balloon-frame construction — the stringers flex more than newer homes, so rail anchoring requires longer lag screws into the treads rather than into the stringer itself.
The Susquehanna River flood of 2011 put water in a lot of Exeter basements, and I still see homes where the wiring was relocated but never re-permitted. Before I install, I verify the outlet circuit handles the lift's 4-amp draw. If the wiring is ungrounded or shares a circuit with the furnace, I add an electrician's line item — never a surprise at the end of the job.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

I measure every Exeter stairway in person. If your 1925 Schooley Avenue twin has a run too narrow for a standard rail, I'll tell you before you commit — not after a rail is fabricated and sitting in my van.

Quotes are honored 30 days. No deposit to measure. HISA, CHC Waiver, and OBRA Waiver paperwork I file directly so the payer reimburses me, not you.
