How long is install day in Hazel Park?

A straight rail in a single-story bungalow off Highland Avenue takes 3-4 hours. The curved rails I do in the Woodward Heights two-stories take 5-6 hours because the custom track has to be aligned and tested at every transition.

Will the rail damage my 1940s oak treads?

No. The rail bolts to the treads, not to your original plaster wall. On the oak treads still common around Hoover Avenue we use stainless tread-mount fasteners that leave only small holes, easily filled if the lift is ever removed.

Can my husband still use the stairs while I'm riding?

Yes. The seat folds flat against the rail when parked, leaving roughly 22 inches of usable stair width on the typical Hazel Park 36-inch staircase.

Do I need a permit from the city of Hazel Park?

Hazel Park does not require a permit for a residential stairlift on a 110V outlet. If your install needs a new dedicated circuit run from the panel, we pull the electrical permit from the city building department on your behalf.

Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Oakland County

Oakland County, MI

I work every block of Hazel Park, from the bungalow corridor along John R Road — where the pre-1960 single-stories usually take a 14-foot straight rail without trouble — through Woodward Heights and the brick two-stories with the closed-stringer landing turn that needs a curved track. Around 9 Mile and John R the older Cape Cods often have narrow 30-inch treads where seat clearance matters more than rail length. East toward Dequindre Road the post-war ranches give us the cleanest straight installs in the city, while homes near Hoover Avenue in the south end and the Highland Avenue corridor closer to 8 Mile bring the original oak treads from the 1940s — beautiful, but they need tread-mount fasteners not wall anchors.

Verified Customer Reviews

Hear It From Your Hazel Park Neighbors

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

Luis came to our 1948 bungalow off John R Road on a Wednesday and the lift was running by Saturday afternoon. He treated my mother's original oak banister like it was his own — drop cloths everywhere, vacuum at the end. The rail bolts to the treads so you can't even see it from the living room.

Our brick two-story near Woodward Heights has that closed-stringer turn at the top landing that everyone else wanted to put a seat-and-walk system in for. Luis said no — he'd bend a curved rail in his shop instead. Took an extra week to fabricate but the seat parks flush at the upper hallway and my dad uses it every day without help.

I called three companies and Luis was the only one who came out the same week. Our Cape Cod near 9 Mile has 30-inch treads — narrower than most — and he brought a 300-pound seat that doesn't crowd the handrail. Done in under four hours, $3,150 all in.

My husband is 295 pounds and he was scared the standard chair would feel tight. Luis brought the heavy-duty 600-pound model out for him to try before we ordered. Wider seat, same rail footprint, no extra wait. Installed it the next Tuesday on our Dequindre Road ranch.

Our front porch off Hoover Avenue is four steps up from the driveway and ices over every January. Luis put in the IP55 outdoor unit with the lockable cover — heated motor, sealed connectors. Survived a brutal Michigan freeze-thaw cycle with zero issues.

Common Questions

Everything Hazel Park 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 cost in a Hazel Park bungalow?

A 14-foot straight rail in a typical John R Road or Dequindre bungalow runs $2,800-$3,400 installed. The single-flight, no-turn staircase common to pre-1960 Hazel Park homes is the cheapest configuration we install.

Why are curved rails so much more?

The track has to be custom-bent in our shop to your exact landing geometry — typical for the brick two-stories near Woodward Heights. From $9,000, including the heavier motor needed to handle the turn radius.

Is the in-home assessment really free?

Yes. We measure your stairs, check your power outlet, and write the itemized quote at your kitchen table — free across Hazel Park, Madison Heights, Ferndale, and Royal Oak.

Can I finance the install?

Yes — from $79/month on approved credit through our lending partner. A $4,200 install in the John R corridor typically runs $79-$95/month over 60 months.

Will the MI Choice Waiver pay for my stairlift?

Michigan's MI Choice Medicaid Waiver covers environmental accessibility adaptations including stairlifts for Medicaid-eligible adults who meet nursing-facility level of care. Approval is case-managed through your local Area Agency on Aging — for Hazel Park that's AAA 1-B serving Oakland County.

I'm a veteran in Hazel Park — what does the VA cover?

Service-connected veterans qualify for the HISA grant up to $6,800; non-service-connected up to $2,000. The John D. Dingell VA Medical Center at 4646 John R St, Detroit, and the Pontiac VA Clinic at 44200 Woodward Ave, Suite 212, Pontiac both process HISA applications — typically 4-8 weeks once your prosthetics representative submits.

Is the stairlift tax-deductible on my Michigan return?

If a Hazel Park physician prescribes the lift as medically necessary, the portion exceeding 7.5% of your federal AGI is deductible on Schedule A. Michigan does not offer a separate state-level home-modification credit — but we provide the itemized invoice the IRS requires.

Does Medicare cover a stairlift in Michigan?

Original Medicare classifies stairlifts as home modifications, not durable medical equipment, so Parts A and B do not cover them. Some Medicare Advantage plans available in Oakland County offer supplemental home-modification benefits — call us and we'll verify with your specific carrier.

A word from Luis

Almost every house in Hazel Park was built before 1960 on a small lot — bungalows and single-stories with one straight run from the kitchen to the bedrooms upstairs. Those are the easiest installs I do all month: a 14-foot rail, four hours, you're back to using the second floor by dinner.
What changes the price isn't the city, it's the staircase. The post-war brick two-stories near Woodward Heights with the closed-stringer turn at the top are where I have to bring the curved track. I drive between Hazel Park, Madison Heights, and Ferndale every week — same-week measure, written quote at your kitchen table, no deposit to hold a date.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Hazel Park's housing stock is mostly pre-1960 bungalows on small lots, and that's good news for stairlift installs — one short straight run, no split landings, three to four hours from arrival to first ride. Curved rails are the exception here, mostly in the brick two-stories near Woodward Heights.

Same-week measure across Hazel Park, Madison Heights, Ferndale, and Royal Oak. Straight from $2,800, curved from $9,000. Written quote at your kitchen table, no deposit.
