Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Montgomery County

Montgomery County, PA

Franconia Township covers roughly 16 square miles of Montgomery County with five named villages — Earlington, Franconia, Morwood, Reliance, and the Harleysville-adjacent eastern edge. Housing is 68 percent single-detached, 29 percent townhouses, with many American Foursquare homes along Allentown Road that have narrow 32-inch treads and original pine or chestnut stringers. Those homes need specialty tread brackets rather than wall anchors. Newer Earlington and Franconiaville developments run standard 36-inch stairs where stock straight rails drop in cleanly. The Indian Valley school district zones split east and west of the turnpike — a useful shorthand for which side has the historic stock versus the post-1990 builds.

Verified Customer Reviews

Hear It From Your Franconia Neighbors

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

Our 1918 American Foursquare on Allentown Road has the original chestnut stringers and my wife would not tolerate any drilling into the wainscoting. Luis measured, came back with a tread-bracket plan using stainless fasteners, and installed a straight rail without touching a single plaster wall. Eight years later still smooth.

Earlington two-story with a 90-degree turn at the top landing. Luis quoted a real curved rail — not a straight rail with a transfer platform like the other two companies tried. Measured on-site Thursday, rail built in five weeks, installed in one morning. My mother uses it four times a day.

Outdoor side-porch lift in Morwood. First hard freeze after install we got an ice storm — motor fired up Monday morning no issues. Luis specifically routed the cable to clear the downspout splash zone and used stainless fasteners throughout. Details matter in a Philly NW winter, and he knew every one of them.

VA HISA grant through Coatesville covered most of the install. Luis filed the paperwork himself, I signed a few forms, and six weeks later approval came through. Straight rail installed the day after. As a service-connected Vietnam vet, I appreciate that someone else handled the forms — the process worked exactly as it should.

Platform lift for my mother who uses a wheelchair. Flat black deck, yellow safety edges, handrail where she grips it. Luis set the travel speed slower than factory default because that's what she wanted after the first test ride. Came in under the written quote because the stair run measured shorter than estimated.

Carpeted stairs at our Elroy home. Luis bolted through the carpet into the wood below — no carpet removal, no tear-up, seat upholstery matched the carpet tones almost exactly. Barely visible when the seat parks at the top. Clean job start to finish, quote matched the invoice to the dollar.

Common Questions

Everything Franconia 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 Franconia Township?

Straight-rail installs in Franconia start at $2,800 for a standard 12–14 ft run. Newer Earlington homes fit the stock rail without custom work — total installed cost typically $3,200–$3,800. Historic Allentown Road homes with narrow treads add $150–$250 for specialty brackets. Written quote, no travel fee inside Montgomery County.

How much is a curved stairlift for a Franconia American Foursquare?

Curved rails start at $9,000 and scale with turn count. A typical Allentown Road two-story American Foursquare with one 90-degree turn at the upper landing runs $10,500–$13,500 installed, including the custom rail build, on-site laser measurement, and delivery. Four to six week lead time from signed quote to install day.

Is financing available in Franconia Township?

Yes — financing starts at $79/month with approved credit on a straight-rail unit. Terms run 24 to 60 months. Soft-pull pre-approval runs before any paperwork, so your credit score is not pulled hard during the Franconia quote phase. Approval decision typically within one business day.

Are there hidden fees after the Franconia quote?

No. The written Franconia quote includes rail, seat, installation labor, any Montgomery County permit filing, and the first annual service visit. Outdoor units add the IP55 sealed cover kit at a fixed line item shown upfront — not tacked on after the install is booked.

How long does a Franconia stairlift install take?

Straight-rail installs in Franconia wrap in three to four hours on newer Earlington builds. Historic Allentown Road homes with narrow treads run four to five hours because the specialty brackets are measured on-site. Curved rails take six to eight hours total. Same-day straight installs are standard when booked before Thursday.

Will a stairlift damage my Franconia American Foursquare woodwork?

No. Rails bolt to the treads — not the walls or balusters — so original pine, chestnut, and plaster stay intact. On Allentown Road homes we use stainless fasteners sized to the original tread thickness, with pre-drilled pilot holes and oak-matched plugs if the homeowner wants the bolt heads hidden.

Do I need a permit for a Franconia Township stairlift install?

Residential stairlifts in Franconia Township do not typically require a building permit — they are classified as equipment rather than structural work. If a dedicated 110V circuit is added, the team files the electrical permit with the Township directly at the Cowpath Road office.

Can a stairlift handle Franconia freeze-thaw winters?

Outdoor units are IP55-rated and sealed against wind-driven rain and the 40 freeze nights Franconia sees each year. The sealed cover kit shields the motor and seat through Philly NW cold snaps, and stainless fasteners keep the rail corrosion-free where sump discharge or downspout runoff is nearby.

Does PA Medicaid cover stairlifts in Franconia Township?

Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices (CHC) managed-care Medicaid covers home modifications including stairlifts for eligible adults meeting nursing-home level-of-care criteria. The OBRA Waiver also serves adults under 60 with physical disabilities. Montgomery County Area Agency on Aging at 1430 DeKalb Street, Norristown, handles the intake referral.

Is there VA funding for stairlifts in Franconia Township?

Yes. Service-connected veterans in Franconia qualify for the HISA grant up to $6,800, non-service-connected up to $2,000. The Coatesville VA Medical Center at 1400 Black Horse Hill Road processes HISA paperwork; the West Norriton VA Clinic at 2495 General Armistead Avenue serves Montgomery County veterans closer to home. Typical approval: 4 to 6 weeks.

Can I deduct a Franconia stairlift on taxes?

If installed for medical necessity with a physician's letter, the portion exceeding any home-value increase is deductible as a medical expense under IRS Publication 502. Most Franconia stairlift installs add zero to resale value, so the full cost typically qualifies. Keep the invoice and physician letter together in your records.

Does Medicare pay for a stairlift in Franconia Township?

Medicare Part A and B do not cover stairlifts — they are classified as home modifications rather than durable medical equipment. Some Medicare Advantage plans through Independence Blue Cross or Aetna PA offer supplemental home-modification or OTC quarterly benefits; check your plan's specific benefit document.

A word from Luis

Franconia Township is split by the turnpike and by century. West of the turnpike you get the historic American Foursquare homes in Morwood, Reliance, and along Allentown Road — narrow treads, original chestnut or oak stringers, and plaster-and-lath walls that you do not want to drill into. East of the turnpike the Earlington and newer developments run wider 36-inch stairs with drywall framing that handles a stock straight rail without any custom work.
What the whole township shares is the Philadelphia NW freeze-thaw cycle — roughly 40 cold nights a year, no coastal humidity but hard overnight drops. Outdoor lifts at side porches and garage entries need IP55 ratings and sealed cover kits, and I spec stainless fasteners for any install within 30 feet of a sump discharge or downspout line, which is common on the older lots in Morwood and Reliance where drainage was not engineered for modern storm loads.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Franconia Township spans a century of housing in 16 square miles — from 1918 American Foursquares on Allentown Road to post-1990 Earlington townhouses with standard drywall framing. The team quotes both ends of that spectrum differently: same products, different brackets, different install timelines, always a written number before any paperwork is signed.

Estimates are free, quotes match the final invoice, and the team files any Montgomery County permits and the Coatesville VA Medical Center HISA paperwork at 1400 Black Horse Hill Road in parallel — so reimbursement timing does not hold up the install. Request a free in-home assessment to get a written quote within 24 hours.
