Expert Stairlift Installation in Green Bay, WI

Straight rails are 2–4 hours on-site — we arrive, verify the laser measurements, bolt the rail into the stair treads, mount the chair, test every safety sensor, and walk you through the remotes. Curved rails take 1–2 weeks to manufacture but install day is still usually under 4 hours. No overnight workers, no multi-day mess.

No. Modern stairlifts bolt into the stair treads themselves — the rail is self-supporting and never touches your wall, your banister, or your original woodwork. We've installed in dozens of pre-1940 Green Bay homes without damaging a single original detail. If the lift is removed years later, you're left with a handful of small pilot holes in the tread wood.

Yes — this is our most common curved install in Brown County. The postwar split-levels across Seymour Park and the west side almost always have a mid-landing with a 90° turn. We digitally scan the staircase during the assessment, fabricate a curved rail that carries you from the entry to the upper bedrooms in one continuous ride, and install a swivel-exit seat at the top. One ride, zero transfers.

Every Green Bay install ships with a -25°F-rated lithium iron phosphate battery that recharges automatically from house power and runs the lift for 30+ rides on a full charge. Lake-effect ice storms can knock power out for days in Brown County — the battery takes over with zero interruption. No generator required. We've had lifts ride through 48-hour outages in Allouez and De Pere without a single missed trip.

Yes. Wisconsin's IRIS and Family Care programs cover stairlifts as home modifications under HCBS. Eligibility requires Wisconsin residency, age 65+ or adult with a disability, Medicaid financial eligibility, and a Functional Screen through your Brown County ADRC. We are an enrolled Wisconsin Medicaid provider — you call ADRC, complete the screen, name us as the provider, and we handle the service authorization with your MCO or IRIS Consultant Agency directly.

The VA HISA grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected disabilities and $2,000 for non-service-connected. Your Green Bay clinic — the Milo C. Huempfner VA Outpatient Clinic on University Avenue — handles routine appointments, but HISA grants route through the Clement J. Zablocki VA in Milwaukee. We prefill VA Form 10-0103 and coordinate with Milwaukee VA directly. Typical turnaround is 4–8 weeks.

If a licensed Wisconsin physician recommends the stairlift in writing (we provide the letter template), the IRS classifies it as a qualified medical expense under Schedule A. Wisconsin conforms to the federal treatment on state returns. For households that itemize, the full installation cost reduces taxable income — usually worth $600–$2,400 back depending on your bracket. Our office walks you through whether itemizing makes sense for your 2026 return.

Yes — three lending partners with 0% APR for qualified buyers and low fixed-rate plans from $79/month. Application is a soft credit pull (no hit to your score), takes about 4 minutes, and approval is usually instant. Many Brown County families combine financing with the IRS medical deduction or a partial VA grant to bring the monthly payment down further. We walk you through the math during the free assessment.
