How long does install day take in a Fayetteville colonial?

Straight rail: 3-4 hours start to clean-up. Curved rail for a Marion cottage: 1-2 weeks fabrication off-site, then a single 4-5 hour install day. We schedule around your routine — no overnight work.

Will the rail damage my hardwood treads?

No. The rail bolts directly into the stair treads, not the wall, not the banister. Holes are dime-sized and fillable with matching plug at removal. We have done hundreds of installs on Franklin County's mix of original hardwood, carpet, and Pergo.

Can my family still use the stairs with the lift in place?

Yes. The rail occupies about 8 inches on one side. Seat, armrests, and footrest fold flush when not in use. Teens and grandkids walk past without thinking.

Do I need a permit or HOA approval in Guilford Township?

Guilford Township does not require a permit — stairlifts are accessibility equipment, not structural modification under Pennsylvania code. Newer subdivisions in Fayetteville and Stoufferstown ask for a one-page HOA notification; we file it for you at no extra charge.

Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Franklin County

Franklin County, PA

We install across every Guilford Township village and the surrounding Franklin County area. Fayetteville two-story colonials typically have a 14-foot straight run on carpet — the most common Guilford install. Marion cottages in the southwest corner often need a tight 90-degree curved rail at the upper landing. Stoufferstown ranches between Guilford and Chambersburg take a standard straight rail, while older homes in Pond Bank at the foot of South Mountain and Falling Spring sometimes have narrow 31-inch stair widths. We also serve nearby Chambersburg, Greene Township, Hamilton Township, Waynesboro, and Antrim Township.

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

Luis came out the day after I called. Our Fayetteville colonial has a fourteen-foot straight run on the original 1992 carpet — the slim rail bolted right in without disturbing a fiber. My husband uses it every morning to come down for coffee.

After three quotes from Hagerstown and Harrisburg installers, All American came in $2,300 less and included the first service visit. The curved rail handles the tight upper turn in our Marion cottage perfectly.

My 86-year-old mother lives with us in our Stoufferstown ranch. The seatbelt and swivel seat make every trip down to the kitchen safe and steady. Worth every dollar for the ten trips a day she takes.

Our township office told us no permit was required and Luis filed the brief notice with our small HOA in Falling Spring himself. Install was four hours, no mess, no neighbors complaining about noise.

Lebanon VA approved my HISA grant in seven weeks and All American started install the next morning. Saved me $6,800 out of pocket — every Franklin County veteran should know this option exists.

Five winters in our Guilford Hills home and the lift still runs perfectly through every freeze-thaw cycle off South Mountain. Annual service takes thirty minutes, no breakdowns. Best decision we made for staying in this house.

Common Questions

Everything Guilford 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 typical Guilford Township stairlift cost?

Three drivers: rail type, stair length, feature count. A standard 14-foot straight rail with battery backup, swivel seat, and seatbelt runs $3,200-$4,400 in Fayetteville or Stoufferstown. A 90-degree curved rail for a Marion cottage typically lands $9,500-$12,800. Outdoor IP55 units start at $4,000.

Are there hidden fees in Franklin County?

Not from us. The written quote covers equipment, custom fabrication, full install, electrical safety test, remote pairing, and your first service visit. Watch competitors based out of Harrisburg or Hagerstown for separate measurement charges, travel surcharges, and HOA paperwork fees we include free.

Can I finance a stairlift in Guilford Township?

Yes. We work with three lending partners offering 0% APR for qualified buyers and fixed-rate plans starting at $79/month. Soft credit pull, instant approval, no prepayment penalty. Many Franklin County families pair financing with the IRS medical deduction.

What does long-term ownership cost?

Annual service runs about $150 in Guilford Township. Batteries last 4-6 years and cost $120-$180 to swap. No subscriptions, no monitoring fees, no app accounts. Most lifts run 10+ years on that schedule.

Will Medicare pay for a stairlift in Guilford Township?

Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover stairlifts — they are home modifications, not durable medical equipment. Some Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans through Highmark, Aetna, and UPMC for You include accessibility benefits in Franklin County. Call your plan and ask about 'home modification' coverage.

What VA benefits help Franklin County veterans?

The primary referral point is Lebanon VA Medical Center at 1700 South Lincoln Avenue, Lebanon PA, with local access at the Franklin County VA Clinic, 425 Franklin Farm Lane, Chambersburg. The HISA grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected disabilities and $2,000 for non-service-connected. Aid & Attendance pension for surviving spouses is widely used in Franklin County.

How does the IRS medical-expense deduction work?

If a Pennsylvania-licensed physician documents medical necessity, the IRS classifies the full purchase and install as a qualified medical expense. If you itemize on Schedule A, the cost over 7.5% of your adjusted gross income reduces taxable income. We provide the itemized invoice your CPA needs.

Does Pennsylvania Medicaid cover stairlifts in Guilford Township?

Yes — Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices (CHC) program is the primary HCBS pathway for adults 21+ who are dually eligible or who need long-term services. The OBRA Waiver covers younger adults with physical disabilities. Both can fund stairlift install for qualifying Franklin County residents. Approval typically takes 8-12 weeks; we begin install the day funding is confirmed.

A word from Luis

Most Guilford families call me after something has already gone wrong — a slip on icy front steps in January, a parent who has not been upstairs since the holidays, a Chambersburg-area veteran who cannot face the climb anymore. I am at your house within 24 hours, I measure once, and the price I quote is honored for thirty days.
The Fayetteville colonials with their long straight runs, the Marion cottages with tight 90-degree turns, the older farmhouses out near Pond Bank at the foot of South Mountain — every house measures differently. Service-connected veterans here qualify for the HISA grant up to $6,800 through Lebanon VA Medical Center. Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices (CHC) and OBRA Waiver cover home modifications for qualifying seniors. We file the paperwork.
