Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Wayne County

Wayne County, MI

I install across every Hamtramck district. The St. Florian Historic District — 691 NRHP structures bounded by Yemans, Holbrook, Joseph Campau, and Lumpkin — has the city's tightest stair geometry: 30 to 32 inch treads with a hard 90 at the half-landing. The Joseph Campau Historic corridor and the flats off Florian and Belmont share the same tight geometry. Banglatown north of Carpenter runs wider but steeper. The Caniff Avenue corridor and Holbrook Park bungalows are post-war brick with regular tread widths — straight rail territory. The Veterans Memorial Park edge near Edwin runs into Hazel Park where original oak under 1980s carpet is common. I also serve Detroit, Hazel Park, Ferndale, and Warren from the same truck.

Real stories from families across Wayne 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. My mother lives in the Polish flat my grandfather bought in 1948 — narrow stairs, hard turn at the top. He measured, gave us a curved-rail price the same visit, and held it for the full 30 days while we got the VA paperwork done. Install was 6 hours, no plaster damage anywhere.

After my husband's stroke we needed a lift fast. Luis had the straight rail in within four days of the visit. He bolted into the treads, not the wall, which our 1924 flat appreciated. The seat folds out of the way so my grandkids still run up the stairs.

Luis quoted us for the outdoor unit on our Caniff porch. Two competitors quoted higher and would not put the IP55-sealed motor spec in writing. Six months in, through the worst freeze-thaw Hamtramck saw all winter, the lift still runs like day one. No rust, no seizing, no service call.

We are MI Choice Waiver participants. Luis filed the paperwork with The Senior Alliance and we paid zero out of pocket. Took 70 days for approval, then the install was three hours in our Holbrook Park bungalow. Real installer, real service, no surprise bills. He showed us the battery backup before he left.

I am a Vietnam vet, service-connected. Luis filled in the HISA grant at John D. Dingell — I never had to drive over there. Approved for the full $6,800. Curved rail at the half-landing of our 1922 four-square in the St. Florian district. Best money the VA spent on me.

I am 78 and live alone on Edwin Street. The post-war bungalow has a perfectly straight 12-step run. Luis was in and out in three hours. He showed me the battery backup, the swivel seat, the keylock, and stayed until I had ridden it twice on my own.

Common Questions

Everything Hamtramck 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 actually cost in a Hamtramck Polish flat?

A standard straight rail on a 13-step run starts at $2,800 installed. Curved rails for half-landing turns common in Joseph Campau Historic homes start at $9,000 because every rail is custom-fabricated to your stairs. Outdoor units for Caniff and Conant porches start at $4,000. Every price is written and held for 30 days.

Are there hidden fees I should expect on top of the quoted price?

No. The quote we leave at your Hamtramck house includes the lift, the rail, install labor, removal of any old chair, a 5-year warranty, and the first service visit. There is no travel fee inside Wayne County and no permit fee — Hamtramck does not require a building permit for an interior chair lift.

Can I finance a stairlift instead of paying upfront?

Yes. We offer 0% promotional financing through Synchrony, with payments starting from $79/month on a standard straight install. Approval takes about 10 minutes at the in-home visit. We also accept VA HISA grant reimbursement and MI Choice Waiver authorizations directly, so you may owe nothing out of pocket.

Is there a yearly maintenance cost after install?

An annual service runs $179 and covers a full safety check, battery test, and lubrication. Most Hamtramck owners book it once a year because freeze-thaw humidity off Lake St. Clair is hard on the gearbox. The first annual service is included free with every new install.

How long does a Hamtramck install take from measurement to use?

A straight rail is 3 to 4 hours from arrival to your first ride. A curved rail takes one day on-site for install, but the rail itself takes 4 to 6 weeks to fabricate after the laser measurement. We schedule the install date before we leave your first visit.

Do you bolt the rail into the wall or into the stair treads?

Always into the treads. Hamtramck Polish flats are lath-and-plaster — bolting into the wall pulls plaster off in chunks and leaves a patching job when the lift is later removed. The rail screws into the stringers and treads instead, which is structurally stronger and leaves the plaster wall completely intact.

Will the chair lift block other people from using my stairs?

No. The seat folds to 11 inches off the rail when not in use, and the rail itself adds about 7 inches to one side of the staircase. Even on the narrow 30-inch Florian and Belmont flats, there is room for an able-bodied person to walk past without squeezing.

Do I need a permit or HOA approval in Hamtramck?

Hamtramck does not require a building permit for a residential interior stairlift. Most of the city is single-family fee-simple homes with no HOA, so approval is a non-issue. For a condo in Holbrook or a co-op, I bring a written engineering letter the board can sign off on at the next meeting.

Will Medicare cover any portion of a Hamtramck stairlift?

No. Original Medicare and most Medicare Advantage plans classify stairlifts as a home modification, not durable medical equipment, so they do not pay. Medicare Advantage plans on the Detroit market sometimes have a small annual home-modification allowance — bring your plan card to the visit and we will check it.

I'm a veteran in Wayne County — what can the VA pay for?

If you are service-connected, the HISA grant is up to $6,800 one-time, tax-free, no repayment, for a stairlift installed at your primary residence. Non-service-connected vets get up to $2,000. Apply through John D. Dingell VA Medical Center, 4646 John R St, Detroit, MI 48201. I file the paperwork for you at no charge.

What is the IRS medical deduction and does Hamtramck qualify?

Federal IRS Publication 502 lets you deduct the cost of a stairlift as a medical expense to the extent it exceeds 7.5% of your adjusted gross income, if a doctor has prescribed it. Hamtramck residents qualify the same as any other US taxpayer. We provide the paid invoice and the install date in IRS-acceptable form.

Can Michigan Medicaid cover a stairlift in Hamtramck?

Yes — through the MI Choice Waiver, administered locally by The Senior Alliance for Wayne County. MI Choice covers environmental modifications including stairlifts on a case-by-case basis after a supports coordinator approves your care plan. Approval takes 60 to 90 days. We bill the program directly so you have no out-of-pocket cost.

A word from Luis

Hamtramck stairs are narrow. Most of the housing stock here was built between 1915 and 1935 for Dodge Main workers, and the typical Polish flat has a 30 to 32 inch tread width with a tight 90 degree turn at a half-landing. I bring a tape measure and a laser the first visit, never a sales script. In the St. Florian Historic District the stair geometry is especially tight — 691 structures built in the same decade, most with the same narrow tread, and not one I have measured is exactly the same as its neighbor.
Freeze-thaw off Lake St. Clair hits outdoor rails hard on Conant and Caniff, so for porch lifts I always spec an IP55-sealed motor and a fully gasketed rail — no rust channels forming at the connectors after two winters. If a neighbor on your block already has a lift and you want references, I will give you names before you decide. For condos and co-ops in Holbrook, I bring a written engineering letter the board can sign off on before the install date is set.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

If your stairs in Hamtramck have started to feel longer than they used to, the fix is usually simpler and cheaper than people expect. A standard straight rail in a 1920s Polish flat — St. Florian Historic District or Banglatown — installs in 3 to 4 hours and ships with a 5-year warranty plus a lifetime rail guarantee.

Call or request a free in-home assessment. I drive out from the same county, so there is no travel fee and you get a written, 30-day-honored quote before I leave your house. For curved rails at Holbrook Park or Caniff Avenue bungalows, I schedule the laser measurement on visit one and confirm the fabrication lead time before you commit.
