Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Madison County

Madison County, IL

We have worked every staircase pattern in Highland — from the 1880s Italianate two-stories on Broadway near the Lory Theater (original walnut treads that cannot be touched) to the 1950s Cape Cods around Lindendale Park to the 1990s Augusta Estates and Prestige Estates colonials with half-landing turns that need a curved rail. We know which old-town blocks near the Latzer Homestead have steep, narrow post-Pet Milk worker housing stairs, which Helvetia Township farmhouses have exterior cellar entries that ice over in February freeze-thaw cycles, and which Swiss Valley Estates and Pine Street homes need the compact folded-footrest rail. We also serve Pierron, Grantfork, Marine, and Trenton at the same Madison County rate.

Straight

1888 Italianate near Lory Theater — straight rail color-matched to original walnut treads

Highland Downtown Historic District, IL

Mrs. Knebel's 1888 Italianate on Broadway has original walnut hardwood treads and a carved newel post preserved since 1952. Luis drilled into the tread centers only with a guide collar to protect the surface, and parked the beige-upholstered seat flush at the bottom landing. The rail is self-supporting — no wall contact. Installed in four hours; the parlor furniture never moved.

Curved

Augusta Estates 1996 colonial — curved rail over half-landing 90° turn, seat at top

Augusta Estates, IL

The Eberhardt family's 1996 Augusta Estates colonial has six steps to a half-landing, a 90-degree turn, then seven more to the bedrooms. The brown-upholstered seat parks at the top floor. Luis laser-scanned the staircase and ordered a single factory-bent curved rail. Fabrication took 11 days; install day ran four hours. The chandelier above the entry was never touched. Curved rails start at $9,000.

Lindendale Park 1958 Cape Cod — stone tile treads, sideboard at base, compact rail

Lindendale Park, IL

Mrs. Vogt's 1958 Cape Cod across from Lindendale Park has stone tile treads at the base and a cherry sideboard her grandmother left her in 1972 sitting at the bottom. Luis mounted the straight rail using tread anchors in the tight space — the sideboard never moved. The brown-upholstered seat parks at the bottom landing. Finished in three hours.

Pine Street raised porch — outdoor IP55 unit on rough stone paving, freeze-thaw rated

Pine Street, IL

Mr. Hoffmann's 1949 brick bungalow on Pine Street has seven exterior stone-paved steps that ice over every January in the southern Illinois freeze-thaw. Luis installed the IP55-rated outdoor unit — cream-upholstered seat parked at the lower entry level — with stainless hardware anchored into the stone paving. Sealed for road-salt spray. Outdoor lifts start at $4,000; installed in one full day.

Helvetia Township 1972 ranch — carpeted stairs, straight rail to upper bedroom

Helvetia Township, IL

Sr. Aguilar's 1972 ranch in Helvetia Township has wall-to-wall carpeted treads in warm tan tones with tile floor at the base. The brown-upholstered seat sits near the upper landing and travels up to the bedroom level. Luis bolted the rail through carpet and pad into the subfloor with lag screws. The full walkthrough was conducted in Spanish. Install took four hours.

Platform Lift

Prestige Estates split-level — indoor wheelchair platform, 600 lb, yellow safety edges

Prestige Estates, IL

Mr. Oden uses a power wheelchair and needed full wheelchair access between levels of his Prestige Estates split-level — no seat transfer. Luis installed the indoor inclined platform: flat black deck, yellow safety edges, white handrail, interlocked upper and lower gates. Rated to 600 lb. He rolls onto the platform at the lower level and rides to the upper hallway independently. Installed in one day.

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

Our 1888 Italianate two blocks from the Lory Theater has stairs with original walnut banister my grandfather preserved since 1952. I was certain a stairlift would ruin it. Luis color-matched the rail, bolted only into the tread centers, and nobody who visits even notices the lift is there. Four hours start to finish, zero damage to the woodwork.

Highland Downtown Historic District · Verified

My father fell in February and we had to move him from the second floor to the sofa. Luis did the full consultation in Spanish, measured the stairs, and gave us a written price the same day. One week later my father was climbing to his bedroom again. The whole process — assessment, paperwork, install — happened faster than I thought possible.

Lindendale Park · Verified

I am a Korea-era veteran in a 1950s Augusta Estates ranch. Luis handled all the HISA paperwork through the St. Clair County VA Clinic in Shiloh — I never chased a single form. The straight rail to my upper bedroom was installed in three hours. He came back two weeks later to check alignment at no charge.

Augusta Estates · Verified

My mother's farmhouse out toward Pierron has the original 1910 cellar stairs — narrow, steep, treads uneven from foundation settling. Three companies said we would need to widen the stairs. All American came out, said the compact rail fit, and three hours later it was done. My mother is 91 and rides it down to her freezer twice a week.

Helvetia Township · Verified

Our front porch on Pine Street ices over every January from the freeze-thaw. My husband fell twice last winter on the concrete steps. Luis installed the outdoor weather-sealed lift before Thanksgiving, anchored it to the stone paving, and it has been through two December storms without a single service call. Solid, reliable work.

Pine Street · Verified

My son uses a power wheelchair after a workplace accident and needed an indoor platform lift — not a seat — between levels of our Prestige Estates split-level. All American installed it in one day with the yellow safety edges and interlocked gates. He goes between floors independently now. That independence is everything to him and to us.

Common Questions

Everything Highland 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 Highland, IL right now?

Straight rails in a typical Highland home — 1950s Cape Cods around Lindendale Park, 1990s Augusta Estates ranches, older two-stories near the Lory Theater — run $2,800 to $5,500 installed. Curved rails for split-levels with a half-landing turn run $9,000 to $15,000 because the rail is fabricated to your exact staircase geometry. Outdoor weather-sealed units for raised porches start at $4,000. Every quote is written, honored for 30 days, and includes installation, rail, seat, battery, and the first service visit.

Are Highland prices different from Edwardsville or O'Fallon?

Equipment prices are identical across Madison and St. Clair counties — we do not inflate quotes by zip code. What varies is labor when we hit unusual conditions: original 1880s millwork preservation in a downtown Highland Italianate, foundation-settled treads in older Helvetia Township farmhouses, or dedicated-circuit electrical work in pre-1950 homes with 60-amp panels. Every line item appears on the written quote before you sign.

Do you charge extra for Spanish-language service in Highland?

No. Every Highland assessment can be conducted in Spanish — Luis is bilingual and has walked dozens of Madison County families through the paperwork in their preferred language. Printed quotes, consent forms, and operating manuals are available in Spanish at no extra charge.

Any hidden fees if my Highland home is in the downtown historic district?

No hidden fees. Interior stairlifts bolt into stair treads and are outside the jurisdiction of the Highland Historic Preservation Commission — even on a contributing building near the Lory Theater. Exterior porch or stoop lifts on a publicly visible facade may require a review; we prepare the application at no charge. The quote is the quote.

A word from Luis

Most of the calls I take in Highland come from grown children in St. Louis or Edwardsville worried about a parent in a Helvetia Township farmhouse or a 1920s Pine Street bungalow who can no longer manage the stairs. The original Swiss-German millwork in these old downtown homes matters to families — I install around it, not through it. The rail bolts into the tread centers only; the banister, walls, and plaster stay untouched.

I drive to your house within 24 hours, measure with a laser, and leave a written quote honored for 30 days. For Madison County veterans, I pre-fill VA Form 10-0103 and coordinate with the St. Clair County VA Clinic in Shiloh — about 12 miles from here — to start the HISA grant. The Illinois HCBS PD Waiver two-bid requirement is something I walk families through at no charge. En español si lo prefiere.
