Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Norfolk County

Norfolk County, MA

We install across all of Franklin — from the tight 1820s staircases around Franklin Common Historic District (where treads are often under 9 inches deep) to the Colonial-era homes near Unionville. The Kennedy District on the east side holds mid-century capes with cramped landings and straight runs between 11 and 14 feet, ideal for standard Bruno rails. Jefferson-Remington on the west side has newer colonials with split landings that usually need curved rail and a 90° turn at the top. The Keller-Sullivan school neighborhoods mix 1970s splits with recent builds — carpeted treads in most cases. Downtown Franklin condos along East Central Street fall under Mass. condo accommodation rules, and we handle the board paperwork. We also serve Bellingham, Norfolk, Medway, Milford, and Wrentham on the same route.

Verified Customer Reviews

Hear It From Your Franklin Neighbors

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

Our 1890s Colonial on King Street has treads barely 9 inches deep and a stubborn newel post at the bottom. Luis measured twice, ordered a shorter seat plate, and the install was done in one afternoon. My father uses it six times a day now. No wall damage, no plaster repair — just a clean beige seat at the bottom of the stair.

We bought in the Jefferson-Remington subdivision three years ago and didn't realize the split landing would be an issue for my mother-in-law. Luis came out, measured the 90-degree turn, and the curved rail arrived in five weeks exactly as quoted. Clean install, no drywall damage, and he walked my mother-in-law through the controls before leaving.

I was nervous about the condo board approval on Pond Street. Luis had handled it before in our building — he had the paperwork ready, walked the trustees through the MA accommodation requirement, and the whole process took under three weeks. The rail is nearly invisible when folded and the board had no further objections.

Our outdoor install on the side entrance of our Kennedy District cape took the first nor'easter of the season without a hiccup. IP55 sealing held and the battery backup ran through a 14-hour power outage in January. Luis's crew even cleared snow off the rail before testing on install day. Genuinely impressed by the thoroughness.

Our cottage off Summer Street has stone-tile treads and almost no wall space. Luis figured out a tread-mount approach with a compact footprint — the whole run fits without touching the plaster. The brown seat matches the cabinet trim at the bottom landing almost exactly. My husband's cardiologist was relieved to hear the stairs weren't an issue anymore.

My son uses a wheelchair and our split-level in the Keller-Sullivan area needed a platform lift, not a seat. Luis pulled a permit through Franklin Building within five days and the indoor platform went in over a weekend. Yellow edges, black deck, solid ride — exactly what the spec sheet promised. The condo board paperwork was already in order.

Common Questions

Everything Franklin 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 Franklin, MA?

A straight stairlift in Franklin starts at $2,800 installed; a curved rail for a split-landing colonial runs $9,000 and up. Financing starts at $79/month. Outdoor weather-sealed units begin at $4,000 and heavy-duty 600 lb models at $5,050.

Are there hidden fees on a Franklin stairlift install?

No. The quote covers rail, seat, battery backup, standard 110V hookup, and haul-away of old equipment. Town of Franklin electrical permits (where required for dedicated circuits) and condo-board accommodation fees are billed at cost and disclosed before signing.

How much is a monthly payment on a stairlift in Franklin?

From $79/month on a straight rail with qualifying credit. We run through Synchrony and a MA-licensed lender; 0% APR promotional terms are available to qualified buyers in Norfolk County.

What does annual maintenance cost in Franklin, MA?

Annual service runs $150–$250 and covers rail lubrication, battery load test, sensor check, and safety audit. Franklin's freeze-thaw cycles on outdoor rails mean exterior units benefit from two visits a year.

How long does a Franklin stairlift install take?

Most straight rails on Kennedy District capes and Jefferson-Remington colonials go in 3-4 hours. Curved rails for 90° landings take 5-7 hours on install day (plus 4-6 weeks for the custom rail to be built). Outdoor installs add 1-2 hours for weather sealing.

Does the stairlift mount to the wall or the stairs in MA homes?

The rail bolts directly to the treads — not the wall. This matters in older Franklin Common homes where the plaster walls won't hold structural load. No demolition, no drywall patching.

Will my narrow Franklin Common staircase fit a stairlift?

Usually yes. Our narrowest folded seat is 11.5 inches from the wall. We have installed in 1820s homes near the Town Common with treads as narrow as 32 inches. We measure at the assessment — no install if it won't fit safely.

Do I need a permit or HOA approval in Franklin?

Single-family homes in Franklin: no building permit for a surface-mounted stairlift; electrical permit only if a new dedicated circuit is needed. Condos (Downtown Franklin, Pond Street): the board must engage under MA accommodation rules — we handle the paperwork.

Does Medicare cover a stairlift in Franklin, MA?

Original Medicare (Parts A/B) does not cover stairlifts — they're classified as home modifications, not durable medical equipment. Some Medicare Advantage plans offered in Norfolk County include supplemental home-modification benefits; check your plan's 2026 Evidence of Coverage.

Will MassHealth or the Frail Elder Waiver pay for a stairlift?

The MassHealth Frail Elder Waiver covers Environmental Accessibility Adaptations for enrolled members aged 60+ who would otherwise need nursing-facility care. Your Aging Services Access Point (ASAP) case manager authorizes the scope. MassAbility (the renamed Mass. Rehabilitation Commission) runs a separate home-modification program for working-age adults with disabilities.

What VA benefits help Franklin veterans pay for a stairlift?

HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) pays up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans or $2,000 non-service-connected — one-time, tax-free, no repayment. The VA Boston Healthcare System covers Norfolk County; the nearest full medical center is the West Roxbury VA at 1400 VFW Parkway. SAH and SHA grants apply for more severe disability ratings.

Is a stairlift tax-deductible in Massachusetts?

If installed for a documented medical necessity, the portion exceeding any home-value increase is deductible as an itemized federal medical expense (IRS Pub. 502). Massachusetts doesn't offer a state-level medical-modification credit, but you may qualify under the state's Senior Circuit Breaker if you meet the income thresholds.

A word from Luis

Franklin homes run the full spectrum — 18th-century Colonials around the Town Common with narrow, shallow treads; Kennedy District capes with tight landings near the commuter rail; and newer Jefferson-Remington subdivisions where the stairs are wider but the turns are sharper than they look. I measure every stair myself before quoting, because the difference between a standard 36-inch straight rail and a laser-bent curved run is not something you catch in photos. The Franklin Common Historic District homes on King Street run treads under 9 inches deep — I use a shorter seat plate on those installs so the chair clears the risers without touching the wall plaster.
Our Norfolk County winters push freeze-thaw into porch concrete and outdoor rails, so any exterior install here gets IP55 weather sealing and a stainless motor housing. Nor'easter power cuts happen — every seat we ship has 48-hour battery backup standard, and I call to confirm backup is functional on every post-install follow-up. Downtown Franklin condos along East Central Street fall under Mass. condo accommodation rules; I have handled the board paperwork multiple times and know what the trustees require.
