How long does a typical install take in Hanover Township?

Straight rails: 3-4 hours from arrival to first test ride. Curved rails (Lee Park, Hanover Green doubles): one full day. Outdoor installs on older Preston or Newtown porches sometimes need a second visit if the concrete is heaving and we need to add a foot plate.

Will the rail damage my hardwood treads?

No. The rail bolts to the treads, not the wall. Holes are pre-drilled, washered and filled when the lift is removed. We do not touch the riser, the wallpaper, or the banister.

Can the lift be installed if my staircase has a middle landing?

Yes. The early-1900s doubles in Lee Park and Hanover Green almost always have one. We use a curved rail that follows the half-landing turn so you stay seated the whole way — no transfer in the middle.

Do I need a permit in Hanover Township?

No. A residential stairlift bolted to the existing staircase is not a structural alteration, so no permit is required by Hanover Township or Luzerne County. We pull permits only when an outdoor install needs new electrical.

Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Luzerne County

Luzerne County, PA

Hanover Township covers 12 villages between Wilkes-Barre and Nanticoke, and the housing stock changes block by block. Lee Park and Hanover Green still hold rows of pre-1920 anthracite-era doubles with narrow 32-inch treads and a quarter-turn at the half-landing — those almost always need a curved rail or a custom straight with a transfer station. Askam and Lower Askam are mid-century ranches and Cape Cods on slab; straight rails go in fast there. Buttonwood, Lyndwood and Newtown mix postwar splits with newer infill — carpeted half-flights are the norm, so we set the seat height to clear the runner.

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

We have a 1912 double in Lee Park with that classic half-landing turn. Three other companies told me a stairlift was impossible without ripping out the half-wall. Luis came out, measured the curve, and installed a custom rail two weeks later. My mother is back upstairs in her own bedroom.

Straight rail in our Askam ranch, in and out in one morning. The crew put down floor runners, vacuumed the stairs, and walked my dad through the controls twice before they left. Quote matched the invoice to the dollar.

Side-porch outdoor lift on our Newtown house. The concrete was heaving from freeze-thaw and Luis flagged it before signing the contract — added a leveling plate so the rail base sits true. Three winters in, no movement.

VA paid most of the bill through the HISA grant. Luis already knew exactly which forms the Wilkes-Barre VA prosthetics office wanted and delivered the quote in their format. Six weeks from first call to first ride.

Carpeted half-flight up to the bedrooms in our Buttonwood split. Luis's team set the seat height so it cleared the runner without compressing it. The carpet is still perfect under the rail brackets.

Heavy-duty model for my husband — 280 lb and a wheelchair transfer. The wider seat and the swivel at the top made the difference. Luis sized the motor for the load, not just the staircase.

Common Questions

Everything Hanover (Luzerne County) 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 straight stairlift cost installed in Hanover Township?

From $2,800 for a standard straight rail on a 12-14 ft run, fully installed with battery backup and a 5-year warranty. Most Askam, Buttonwood and Lower Askam ranches fall in that range. We give a fixed quote after measuring — no add-ons later.

Why does a curved rail cost more in Lee Park or Hanover Green?

The pre-1920 doubles in Lee Park and Hanover Green almost always have a quarter-turn at the half-landing. Curved rails are laser-measured and shop-bent for that exact staircase, so they start at $9,000. The rail is one-of-one — it cannot be reused.

Does the price include removing the lift later?

Yes. When the lift is no longer needed we remove the rail, patch the tread holes with matching wood filler, and haul the unit away. No charge for residents in Hanover Township or anywhere in Luzerne County.

Are there financing options if I cannot pay upfront?

Financing starts at $79/month with approved credit on a straight rail. We also stage payment so nothing is due until the lift is tested and you sign off on the install.

Does Pennsylvania Medicaid cover a stairlift in Hanover Township?

Yes — through the Community HealthChoices (CHC) waiver for adults 21+ who meet nursing-facility level of care, and the OBRA waiver for adults 18-59 with physical disabilities. Home modifications including stairlifts are a covered service under both. We bill the managed care organization directly after pre-authorization.

I am a veteran. What will the VA cover?

If your stairlift need is service-connected, the VA HISA grant pays up to $6,800 — one-time, tax-free, no repayment. Non-service-connected veterans qualify for up to $2,000. The Wilkes-Barre VA Medical Center at 1111 East End Boulevard handles the prosthetic referral; we deliver the quote in the format their HISA office accepts.

Can I deduct the cost on my federal taxes?

Yes. With a doctor's letter of medical necessity, the equipment and installation are deductible as a medical expense on Schedule A, to the extent total medical costs exceed 7.5% of your AGI. Pennsylvania does not allow itemized medical deductions on the state return.

What if I am on Medicare?

Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover stairlifts — they are classified as home modifications, not durable medical equipment. Some Medicare Advantage plans in Luzerne County now offer a small home-modification benefit; check your plan's Evidence of Coverage or call us and we will read it with you.

A word from Luis

I have surveyed stairs in every one of Hanover Township's 12 villages. Lee Park and Hanover Green still have a lot of the early-1900s anthracite-era doubles — narrow treads, shallow risers, and that quirky middle-landing that throws off generic kits. Askam and Buttonwood swing the other way: postwar splits with carpeted half-flights to the bedrooms.
Freeze-thaw is real here. Front-porch concrete heaves, side doors stick in February, and any outdoor rail has to be sealed for that. We do not bolt aluminum to brick that is shedding mortar — we anchor to the wood treads and the stringer, period. Tell me your address and the year the house was built and I can usually quote within ten minutes.
