How long does a typical install take on a Franklin Park Borough colonial?

Three to four hours for a single straight run on the Fairview or Reis Run colonials. A curved rail for a Blackburn Heights two-story or Ingomar split-entry is a one-day install — measure, weld the track to exact geometry, mount, test.

Do I need a permit from Franklin Park Borough?

The borough classifies a residential stairlift as a plug-in appliance, so no building permit is required. We do pull the electrical permit when we add a dedicated outlet at the base — handled on our side.

Will it fit a 1980s Ingomar split-entry staircase?

Yes. Ingomar split-entries typically have 36-inch stair widths and two short flights with a half-landing. Our curved rail measures and welds to that exact profile; seat width is 16.5 inches, leaving 13+ inches walking clearance.

Can you install on hardwood treads without damaging the finish?

Yes. Rail brackets bolt into the tread face with small stainless screws. When the lift comes out, the holes can be filled and stained to match original oak or maple — standard on Franklin Park's mid-century Fairview homes.

Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Allegheny County

Allegheny County, PA

We cover Franklin Park Borough's residential plans: Blackburn Heights, Ingomar Manor, Fairview, Brandt School Road corridor, Reis Run, and the newer Rochester Road developments. Most homes here were built between 1955 and the early 2000s on hilly, wooded lots — split-entries with two short flights and a half-landing, center-hall colonials with 14-foot straight runs, and more recent two-story builds with 90° turns at the upper landing. Stair widths typically run 34 to 38 inches (a bit wider than the NJ average), which gives more clearance for a 16.5-inch seat and makes heavy-duty 600 lb rails feasible on more properties. We also serve nearby McCandless, Wexford, Bradford Woods, Marshall Township and the Sewickley Heights side of I-79 on same-day calls.

Our Blackburn Heights home has a split entry with that tricky half-landing. Luis measured it and came back with a curved track that fits the bend exactly. Install was done in a day. My dad can get from garage to bedroom without help for the first time in two years.

Ingomar Manor split-level, two short flights. Three installers wanted to quote me two separate straight lifts. Luis did one curved rail that runs the whole way. Cost less than two lifts and looks a lot cleaner. Worth the extra engineering.

The outdoor rail down to our side yard off Brandt School Road went through three freeze-thaw cycles this winter and hasn't shifted an inch. Luis spec'd deep footings because our hillside moves. That's experience talking — he's done this.

VA HISA paperwork for my husband's service-connected claim took weeks to figure out. Luis handled every line himself, we got the $6,800 approved, rail was installed the week after. Best $0 out-of-pocket stairlift experience you could ask for.

Newer build off Rochester Road, my mom needed the 600 lb heavy-duty rail. Luis measured, confirmed the 38-inch stair width would fit the wider seat, and installed the reinforced rail in one afternoon. Smooth ride, quiet motor, she loves it.

Common Questions

Everything Franklin Park 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.

How much does a stairlift cost in Franklin Park, PA?

Straight installs on Franklin Park Borough's 1970s Fairview colonials run $2,800–$4,200. Curved rails for Ingomar split-entries or Blackburn Heights two-stories price at $9,000–$14,000 because the track is welded to your exact hillside stair geometry. Outdoor rails down a Brandt School Road side grade add $4,000–$6,500.

Why are curved jobs more common here than in other Pittsburgh suburbs?

Franklin Park Borough is hilly. The split-entry homes in Ingomar Manor almost always have two short flights with a half-landing between them — that's a curved-rail job. Flat-lot Pittsburgh suburbs like much of the South Hills see more straight installs; the North Hills geometry is different.

Are there hidden fees on a Franklin Park install?

No. Our quote includes survey, rail, motor, seat, battery backup, install labor and any Franklin Park Borough electrical permit work. Add-ons are optional: power swivel seat (~$450), folding rail (~$900), or a second remote.

How much is financing per month in Franklin Park?

Financing starts at $79/month with approved credit for a straight $2,800 rail. A curved Ingomar split-entry install financed over 60 months typically works out to $170–$235/month.

Does Pennsylvania Medicaid help pay for a stairlift in Franklin Park?

Yes. The Pennsylvania CHC (Community HealthChoices) waiver covers home modifications including stairlifts for eligible participants 21+ with long-term care needs. The OBRA waiver covers individuals with developmental physical disabilities that began before age 22. Both are administered by OLTL; you apply through your local Area Agency on Aging (Allegheny County AAA).

I'm a veteran — what will the VA cover?

If your mobility need is service-connected, the VA HISA grant covers up to $6,800. For non-service-connected disabilities, HISA is $2,000. One-time, tax-free, no repayment. The closest VA medical center for Franklin Park Borough is the Pittsburgh VA Medical Center–University Drive, University Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15240.

Are there Pennsylvania tax credits for a Franklin Park stairlift?

Pennsylvania doesn't offer a dedicated accessibility tax credit, but medically-necessary stairlifts prescribed by a physician are deductible on your federal return to the extent they exceed 7.5% of AGI. Keep the prescription and our itemized invoice.

What if I don't qualify for any of those — can I still afford it?

Yes. 0%-APR promotional financing from $79/month (12 months, approved credit) or longer 60-month fixed-rate plans. We also rent straight lifts in Franklin Park starting at $150/month for temporary needs like post-surgery recovery.

A word from Luis

Franklin Park Borough is not flat. Almost every home I survey off Blackburn Road or Brandt School Road sits on a hillside lot with a steep front approach and a longer rear run down to a walkout basement. That geometry is why curved rails make up more of our jobs here than in most Pittsburgh-north boroughs — the split-entry homes in Ingomar and Fairview often have two short flights with a half-landing in between.
And the weather. Freeze-thaw cycles in Allegheny County chew up any outdoor rail that wasn't spec'd for it. I run IP55-sealed drives, weatherproof sealed covers and bolt the footings deep enough that the rail doesn't shift when the hillside soil moves in March.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Franklin Park Borough's hillside geometry — split-entries, walkout basements, and steep exterior approaches — means most of the jobs we quote end up as either a curved rail with an intermediate landing or an outdoor rail down to a side-yard grade. Straight rails still serve the 1970s Fairview colonials; curved runs on Blackburn Heights two-stories land $9,000–$14,000 installed.

Book a free in-home survey and we'll measure every flight, confirm rail lengths, and walk through Pennsylvania CHC waiver home-modification funds, the OBRA waiver (for disabilities pre-22), VA HISA ($6,800 service-connected) and 0% financing from $79/month.
