Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Oakland County

Oakland County, MI

Farmington stairs fall into two eras. The Farmington Historic District around Grand River and Shiawassee — listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1976 — has 1820s to 1890s farmhouses, Greek Revival, and Victorians with narrow 30-inch pine staircases needing compact rails and felt-backed brackets. Bel Aire Hills brings the 1953 to 1956 ranch homes south of 10 Mile Road where short straight runs are the norm. Chatham Hills, off Grand River near Tarabusi Creek, carries the 1960s and 70s colonials with wider stairs and mid-landing 90-degree turns that want a curved rail. Noble Brook Farms and Lincolnshire Estates hold the larger 1960s colonials where three-story runs are common. Green Hill Commons at West 9 Mile and Gill Road adds mid-century ranches with carpeted treads and standard straight runs.

Verified Customer Reviews

Hear It From Your Farmington Neighbors

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

Our 1870s farmhouse in the Farmington Historic District has a 30-inch-wide staircase with the original pine treads. Three other companies told us the house would not fit a lift. Luis measured, used felt-backed brackets, and installed the straight rail without touching the stringer. Two years later the treads still look exactly the same.

We have a 1968 colonial in Chatham Hills with a 90-degree turn at the mid-landing. Luis measured once, ordered the curved rail, and installed the whole thing in one day three weeks later. My mother moved in after her stroke and she uses it five times a day without any issue.

The front porch at our Bel Aire Hills home has four exterior steps and the last outdoor rail we bought rusted out in two winters. Luis installed an IP55-sealed unit with a sealed battery enclosure. One full Michigan winter in and it runs perfect — no corrosion, no weather issues.

Dad served three tours in Vietnam and the VA paperwork had us confused. Luis sat at our kitchen table in Green Hill Commons and walked us through the HISA grant application at the Pontiac VA Clinic on Woodward. The $6,800 grant covered almost the entire straight rail. Installation happened the week the approval letter arrived.

I weigh 340 pounds and every other company said their heaviest model was capped at 400 pounds. Luis installed the 600 lb heavy-duty rail in our Noble Brook Farms colonial. The seat is wider, the motor is stronger, and it handles three trips up and down every day without strain.

My brother uses a power wheelchair after his MS progressed and we needed a platform lift for the second floor of our Lincolnshire Estates home. Luis brought in an indoor inclined platform with the flat black deck and yellow safety edges. The OT at Ascension Providence signed off on it in the first visit.

Common Questions

Everything Farmington 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 stairlift cost in Farmington, MI?

Straight rails start at $2,800 installed, covering most Historic District homes and Bel Aire Hills ranches. Curved rails for the 1960s Chatham Hills or Lincolnshire Estates colonials begin at $9,000 because the rail is custom-manufactured to your stair geometry. Outdoor units start at $4,000 and 600 lb heavy-duty at $5,050.

Is financing available in Oakland County?

Yes. Financing starts at $79/month with 0% APR for qualified buyers. We run a soft credit check that does not affect your score. Many Farmington homeowners combine financing with the MI Choice Waiver or the HISA veteran grant to bring the out-of-pocket cost close to zero.

Do you charge a travel fee from Detroit?

No. Farmington is 20 minutes from our coverage hubs and there are no travel fees anywhere in Oakland County. Whether you are in the Historic District or out in Noble Brook Farms, your rail price is identical to a customer in downtown Detroit.

Can I deduct a stairlift on my Michigan taxes?

Michigan allows the federal medical expense deduction to flow through to the state return. Per IRS Publication 502, stairlift cost is deductible if prescribed by a physician and total medical expenses exceed 7.5% of adjusted gross income. Keep the doctor's order and the invoice together at tax time.

How long does a Farmington installation take?

A straight rail on a typical Farmington home takes 3 to 4 hours. Curved rails for Chatham Hills or Lincolnshire Estates colonials take a full day because each section must be bolted and calibrated. Outdoor rails with winter sealing run 4 to 5 hours. I arrive at 8am and you ride it the same day.

Will the installation damage the original wood in a Historic District home?

No. The rail bolts into the stair treads, not the wall or the stringer. On the 1820s to 1890s Historic District farmhouses, I use felt-backed brackets and pre-drill every hole so the original pine treads stay visible and undamaged. Nothing is cut, and the rail can be removed later without visible holes.

Do I need a permit from the City of Farmington?

The City of Farmington Building Department classifies residential stairlifts as medical appliances, so no building permit is needed for a standard install. If you own a Historic District property that is locally designated, I can coordinate with the Historic District Commission on any review required.

Can a narrow historic staircase fit a stairlift?

Usually yes. Many Historic District staircases are 30 inches wide, which is workable — the folded chair projects 14 inches from the wall, leaving 16 inches for foot traffic. I measure every tread and riser in person before quoting so there are no surprises on install day.

Does Michigan Medicaid cover a stairlift in Farmington?

The MI Choice Waiver — Michigan's home and community-based services program — can cover stairlifts as an environmental modification for qualifying members. Approval requires a physician's order and a supports coordinator assessment. I can refer you to MI Choice-experienced agencies in Oakland County.

What VA benefits apply to Farmington veterans?

The HISA grant pays up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans and $2,000 for non-service-connected. Your nearest facility is the Pontiac VA Clinic at 44200 Woodward Avenue, Suite 212, Pontiac, MI 48341 — about 14 miles northeast of Farmington. Your primary care provider there starts the HISA paperwork.

Are there Michigan home modification grants I should know about?

Yes. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services funds a home modification benefit through MI Choice and also through the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) in some counties. Area Agency on Aging 1-B covers Oakland County and administers small home-modification grants for low-income seniors.

Does the Fair Housing Act protect my right to install a stairlift?

Yes. Under the Fair Housing Act (42 USC 3604(f)(3)(A)), a disabled homeowner or tenant can make reasonable modifications including a stairlift, at their own expense. Farmington HOAs in Noble Brook Farms or Lincolnshire Estates cannot refuse a documented-disability stairlift based on aesthetics.

A word from Luis

The Farmington Historic District along Grand River Avenue has mid-western farmhouse, Greek Revival, and Victorian homes dating to the 1820s. Their original staircases are narrow — sometimes 30 inches — with steep risers and pine treads that cup with humidity. I install compact straight rails with felt-backed brackets on those homes and never cut into an original stringer.
The Bel Aire Hills and Chatham Hills subdivisions from the 1950s and 60s are a different conversation: wider stairs, longer runs, and 90-degree landings that need a curved rail. Michigan winters add one more constraint — every outdoor rail I install for a Farmington porch gets a sealed battery enclosure because lake-effect snowfall and freeze-thaw cycles will kill an exposed one in two seasons.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Farmington splits between a preserved 1820s Historic District and the 1950s through 1970s suburban subdivisions that grew out past Grand River. The right stairlift depends on which side your home is on — and on how well it survives a Great Lakes winter.
