Expert Stairlift Installation in Haverford, PA
Haverford's Brookline section dates to 1909, and those original stair halls run narrower than the mid-century colonials built after WWII, so an accurate curved-rail measurement matters most there. Most Haverford families fund the install directly rather than wait on a grant decision, so send a photo of your stairs and we'll give you a firm price after a quick look.

Stairlift Service Across Delaware County
Our Haverford-area installs span the Main Line corridor from Penn Wynne to Broomall. In Ardmore, the 1920s and 1930s homes with original hardwood treads and 15-foot straight runs are the corridor’s most common job. In Bryn Mawr, older stone Tudors and English Colonials present curved staircase challenges: U-shaped turns, intermediate landings, and original oak paneling that bracket placement must clear. Penn Wynne holds 1940s colonials where same-week straight-rail turnaround is the norm. Broomall brings 1960s split-level half-flights of 7 to 9 steps. Drexel Hill concentrates rowhouse and attached-colonial stock requiring slim-profile rails and extra landing clearance.

Hear It From Your Haverford Neighbors
What a stairlift project looks like for families in Haverford and nearby Delaware County. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.
I was very specific: nothing was to touch my 1933 Tudor’s original white oak banister or treads. Luis matched the bracket color to the aged oak on-site, used a drill with a depth stop, and filled every hole before leaving. Three months later, I can barely find the brackets unless I’m looking for them.
The staircase in our 1898 Victorian has a newel post on the landing turn that I’ve been told by every contractor is unmovable. All American fabricated a curved rail that clears the post by three inches. The post is still there, completely untouched. I had written off the idea of a stairlift before I called them.
Our bluestone front steps are original to the 1941 house and we’d been fighting about what to do about them every winter. All American used a diamond-core bit, didn’t crack a single stone, and the rail finish matches our dark green trim. Four steps easier. One hour of work.
My husband needed a 450-lb unit and I was concerned no one would have a solution that looked acceptable in our home. The installer arrived with finish samples, matched the bracket to our colonial-white woodwork, and the unit looks like it was designed for the staircase. Very professional.
Split-level, two half-flights, one decision. All American recommended two independent units on one circuit rather than a continuous curved rail. Saved money and my wife can exit at the middle level for her studio. Works perfectly.
OPTIONS Program covered a significant portion of the cost. Luis explained the process clearly, provided the specification letter the AAA needed, and followed up to confirm approval. Straightforward, once you have someone who knows the pathway.

Everything Haverford 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 for a home in Haverford Township?
A straight-rail lift for a single flight is the less expensive option since the rail comes in standard lengths; a curved rail, custom-bent to fit a landing or a turn, costs more because each one is fabricated for that specific staircase. Haverford's older Brookline-section colonials, dating to the 1909 planned development, more often have a landing partway up than the wider, more open runs common in the post-WWII homes that filled in the township afterward.
Is the cost a major burden for households in Haverford Township?
Haverford Township's median household income runs $124,875, and 18.8% of residents are 65 or older, a profile that leans toward paying for a stairlift directly rather than routing the whole cost through a grant. Even so, most of the households we quote here still ask about the Delaware County Whole Home Repair Program's up-to-$50,000 accessibility allowance before committing, since it's real money left on the table if they skip the call.
Does the age of a Haverford home change what a stairlift install costs?
It can. Homes near the original 1909 Brookline layout tend to have narrower stair halls and, in some cases, a mid-run landing, which usually pushes the job toward a curved rail. The later waves of post-WWII construction across the township more often have a single straight flight, which is the simpler and less expensive install. Either way, a technician needs to measure the actual staircase; build year is a starting guess, not a quote.
How long does a stairlift installation take in Haverford Township?
A straight rail on one flight is usually finished in a few hours, same day. A curved rail, more common in the older Brookline-area homes with a landing, takes longer because it has to be custom-fabricated to that specific staircase before installation ever starts.
Will installing a stairlift damage a staircase in one of the older homes near Brookline?
No. The rail bolts into the treads, not the wall, so there's no cutting into plaster or trim. On the township's older stock, dating back toward the 1909 development and the farm-and-mill era before it, we still walk the staircase first to check tread condition, since a century of wear can mean a spot or two needs reinforcing before the rail goes on.
Does living near Cobbs Creek, Darby Creek, or one of the other streams affect installation?
Not directly. A stairlift install is about the interior staircase, not the lot. Where it can matter is on older homes near those waterways where humidity or settling has affected the stairs over the decades; that's part of what we check for during the on-site assessment, regardless of which of the township's creeks a house happens to sit near.
Is there county funding in Delaware County that covers stairlifts?
The Delaware County Whole Home Repair Program (WHRP), administered by Habitat for Humanity MontDelco, is the strongest option for a Haverford Township household: it explicitly lists stairlifts as an eligible accessibility service and covers up to $50,000 per home in combined health, safety, and accessibility repairs. Apply through the inquiry form at habitatmontdelco.org/home-repair-inquiry-form or call the county line at 610-891-4943.
What if a household is on Medicaid or a state waiver instead?
Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices (CHC) waiver and the OBRA waiver can both fund a stairlift as an environmental adaptation or home modification, but neither publishes a fixed dollar cap; it's approved case by case inside the person's individual service plan based on medical need. Start with Delaware County's Office of Services for the Aging (COSA) at 610-490-1300, which handles intake and routes households to the right waiver.
Does the VA cover a stairlift for a veteran living in Haverford Township?
The HISA grant covers up to $6,800 for a service-connected condition or $2,000 for a non-service-connected one, though that money is meant for structural work around the lift rather than the unit itself. A stairlift prescribed through VA Prosthetics has no published dollar ceiling; it's approved against medical necessity. Call 1-877-827-3702 for either path.

I've quoted jobs in both the 1910s Brookline section and newer construction closer to the township line, and the age gap shows up in the stairs before anything else. Those original Brookline stair halls run narrower than what came later, so getting an accurate curved-rail measurement matters more there than in a 1960s colonial with an open run. Haverford homeowners are usually easy to work with; at a median income around $124,875, most aren't waiting on a funding approval to move forward, they just want the measurement and the install done right the first time. The one thing I always check on the older stock near Cobbs Creek and Darby Creek is whether the treads have settled any. A township laced with this many small streams has some houses with a slightly uneven staircase, and that's worth confirming before a custom rail gets ordered.
Ready to get started? It's simple.
