Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Rice County

Rice County, MN

Faribault splits into distinct zones that each change the install. The Central Avenue Historic District holds 1870-1920 Commercial Italianate and Queen Anne row houses with 28-30 inch treads and steep risers — tread-bolted rails only, no wall mounts on the original plaster. Legacy Golf Village runs newer stone-facade colonials with standard 36-inch treads and basic straight-rail installs.

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

Luis measured our 1895 Central Avenue row house twice before quoting — said the treads were right at the minimum and he wanted to be sure. The straight rail fit with half an inch to spare and the install didn't scratch the original oak.

Our Legacy Golf Village colonial has a split landing and three companies said a curved rail wouldn't fit with our chandelier. Luis came out, measured, and had the custom rail fabricated in three weeks. Installed in one morning.

The outdoor unit on our Roberds Lake cabin took a -18°F cold snap in January and started up like nothing happened. The lithium-iron-phosphate battery is the difference — my neighbor's cheaper lift wouldn't start below zero.

Installed in 3 hours flat in our Willow Street ranch. The installer laid down a drop cloth, vacuumed when he was done, and the baseboards looked untouched. Great job.

My wife uses a power wheelchair and we needed a platform lift between our main floor and the lower-level family room addition. The flat black deck with yellow edges is safer than any of the ramps we looked at before.

Carpeted stairs, matching brown upholstery, swivel exit at the top landing. Cost me $3,025 installed and I can actually use the second floor of my Shattuck neighborhood house again.

Common Questions

Everything Faribault 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 Faribault, MN?

A straight-rail install on Willow Street or in Legacy Golf Village starts at $2,800 installed. That covers the rail, seat, DC motor with battery backup, and a 5-year warranty on drive components plus lifetime on the rail itself.

Why are curved stairlifts more expensive?

Curved rails are fabricated to the exact geometry of your specific staircase. A Central Avenue Historic District turned staircase or a Legacy Golf Village split landing gets measured, the rail is bent in a factory, shipped back, and installed in a day. Custom fabrication starts at $9,000 and typically runs $9,500-$13,000 in Faribault.

Are there hidden costs on a Faribault install?

No. Our quote includes rail, seat, motor, battery backup, install labor, and haul-away of any old equipment. What can add cost: electrical work if the staircase lacks a nearby 120V outlet (common on pre-1920 Central Avenue Historic District homes), and cold-rated battery upgrades on unheated porch installs.

Does financing help with the Faribault price point?

Yes. Financing starts at $79/month with approved credit over a 60-month term. A Willow Street straight install at $2,800 lands near $55-$65/month; a Legacy Golf Village curved install at $9,500 runs closer to $185/month.

How long does installation take in Faribault?

A straight-rail install in Legacy Golf Village or on Willow Street takes 3-4 hours. A curved install in the Central Avenue Historic District or a Shattuck colonial takes 5-7 hours because the rail sections are joined and leveled on-site.

Do you mount the rail to the wall or to the stairs in Minnesota homes?

Stairs. Most Faribault homes built before 1950 have lath-and-plaster walls that won't hold a stairlift's lateral load safely. We bolt directly into the treads through a steel bracket — it's stronger and leaves the original woodwork alone.

Will a stairlift fit a narrow Central Avenue row house staircase?

Usually yes. Our minimum tread width is 28 inches. Central Avenue Historic District homes typically run 28-32 inches, which is on the narrow end but workable with the seat folded up. We measure on the first visit so there are no surprises on install day.

Do I need a permit for a stairlift in Faribault, MN?

Residential stairlifts in Minnesota don't require a building permit, and Faribault Building Services confirms they treat them as portable medical equipment. If you're in a Legacy Golf Village association home, you may need written HOA approval for the rail anchoring — we provide spec sheets for that review.

Does Minnesota Medicaid cover a stairlift in Faribault?

Yes. The Minnesota Elderly Waiver under the Essential Community Supports program covers home modifications including stairlifts up to roughly $21,722 per year (CPI-indexed, not a lifetime cap). Approval runs through your Rice County Public Health case manager at 507-332-6111. Processing typically takes 45-90 days.

What about VA benefits for Faribault veterans?

The HISA grant pays up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans and $2,000 for non-service-connected, one-time and tax-free. Faribault veterans are served by the Minneapolis VA Medical Center at One Veterans Drive, Minneapolis. The Rice County Veterans Services Office at 320 Third St NW, Faribault (507-332-6117) can help start the application and arrange transportation.

Is there other Minnesota state funding for home modifications?

Beyond the Elderly Waiver, Minnesota's Alternative Care program helps seniors 65+ at nursing-home level of care who don't qualify for Medicaid. The Disability Hub MN at 1-866-333-2466 can walk through all available state and county programs. Income limits apply to both.

Is a stairlift tax-deductible in Minnesota?

If a doctor prescribes it as medically necessary, the portion that exceeds the increase in your home's value qualifies as a federal medical expense deduction on Schedule A. Minnesota follows the federal definition. Keep the prescription, paid invoice, and appraisal difference — your tax preparer will need all three.

A word from Luis

Faribault sits at the confluence of the Cannon and Straight Rivers, and the housing stock runs the full range. A Central Avenue Historic District row house from 1880 has 28-inch treads and steep risers; a Legacy Golf Village colonial has 36-inch treads and a standard straight run. I measure every install in person because a phone quote misses the things that matter most — tread width, wall stud spacing, outlet location.
The Minnesota winter is the other variable. Faribault cycles through freeze-thaw 50-plus times between November and April, and outdoor units on unheated porches get hammered. I spec IP55 sealing and lithium-iron-phosphate batteries rated to -20°F on every outdoor install, and I flag homeowners whose garage or porch outlet shares a circuit with an outdoor freezer — that's where I've seen battery chargers fail.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Faribault homeowners don't need a sales pitch — they need someone who's already measured a Central Avenue row house tread and spec'd a -20°F battery for a Roberds Lake porch. We bring that experience to every in-home assessment, with no travel fee from Shattuck out to Roberds Lake.

Book a free assessment and we'll walk your stairs, check outlets and wall construction, and hand you a written quote the same visit. Most Faribault straight installs are completed within 5-7 business days of the deposit; curved rails take 3-4 weeks for fabrication plus a one-day install.
