How long does install take in a Holmen home?

A straight rail in a typical Cole Addition or Remington Hills staircase takes 3 to 4 hours. A curved rail for a Seven Bridges Addition split-level takes 5 to 7 hours. Drop cloths and shoe covers — your floors look the same when we leave.

Do I need a permit in the Village of Holmen?

No. Stairlifts are personal medical equipment under Wisconsin code and do not require a Village of Holmen building permit for indoor installs. Outdoor units may need a quick zoning courtesy notice, which we file for you.

Will the lift run on a King's Bluff lower-level walk-out staircase?

Yes. We install on basement and walk-out staircases regularly in King's Bluff Estates. The motor can run on cooler ambient temperatures down to 14°F, but we always recommend keeping the unit parked on its charging dock at the warm end of the run during deep winter.

Will it work during a La Crosse County power outage?

Yes. Every unit ships with a sealed battery backup that runs roughly 8 to 10 trips on a full charge. Useful during the winter ice-storm outages we get rolling in off the Mississippi River.

Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across La Crosse County

La Crosse County, WI

We install across every section of Holmen, from bluff-view builds in King's Bluff Estates with walk-out lower-level staircases to the 1990s ranches in Cole Addition and Remington Hills where carpeted straight runs are standard. Seven Bridges Addition split-levels need a tight curved rail at the upper landing. Wildwood Valley offers newer construction with covered patio entries that take an outdoor lift. Liberty Addition, north of Holmen High School, is adding ranch-style builds where residents choose straight-rail configurations from the ground up. Every Holmen install is checked against tread depth, basement-stair clearance, and battery performance in Wisconsin winters before parts are ordered.

Luis came out to our King's Bluff home the day after I called. We have a walk-out lower level and he measured both staircases in the same visit. Walked us through three rail options, did not push the priciest. Install crew finished both rails in a single afternoon. My mom is back to using her sewing room downstairs.

Tight upper turn in our Seven Bridges Addition split-level. Two other companies told us a curved rail would not fit. Luis measured to the eighth-inch and showed us the rail would clear the upper hallway by 2 inches. Install took about five hours. Quiet ride, runs smooth even in the cold.

My husband is a Vietnam-era veteran and qualified for the HISA grant — $6,800 toward the unit. Luis handled the paperwork with the La Crosse VA clinic and we paid almost nothing out of pocket. The unit in our Remington Hills ranch runs whisper-quiet even in Wisconsin's deep winter cold.

Cole Addition 1990s ranch with carpeted treads throughout. The brown seat upholstery matches the carpet tone so well our grandkids barely notice the rail is there. Luis's team laid drop cloths on the floor and the cleanup was spotless. Five-year warranty plus lifetime on the rail — worth every penny.

Outdoor unit on our front-porch flagstone steps in Wildwood Valley. Survived the January cold snap and the spring freeze-thaw without a glitch. Luis came back at 6 months to check the gear box at no charge. Exactly what I hoped for from a company that knows Wisconsin winters.

Platform lift for my wife's wheelchair in our Holmen home off Hale Drive. Luis modeled the deck dimensions with painters tape on the floor before we ordered so we knew the exact footprint. Flat black deck, yellow safety edges, smooth ride, no pinch points. Worth every dollar we spent.

Common Questions

Everything Holmen 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 Holmen, WI?

A standard straight-rail unit installed in a Cole Addition or Remington Hills ranch runs $2,800 to $4,500 turnkey. Curved rails for a Seven Bridges Addition split-level start at $9,000 because each rail is custom-bent. Outdoor units begin at $4,000.

Are there extra travel fees from La Crosse?

No. Travel inside Holmen, Onalaska, La Crosse, and West Salem is included. The only add-on is if your home needs a dedicated 110V outlet within 6 feet of the rail head — most Holmen builds from 1990 onward already have this.

How does the $79/month financing work?

Fixed-rate medical financing through a third-party lender starting at $79 per month for qualified applicants on a straight-rail unit. The application is one page and we get a decision back within 10 minutes.

Can I deduct the stairlift on federal taxes?

Yes — the IRS lets you deduct the portion of stairlift cost that exceeds the increase in your home's market value as a medical expense, when prescribed by a physician. Save the prescription letter and our itemized invoice.

Does the VA cover stairlifts in Holmen?

Service-connected veterans qualify for the HISA grant of up to $6,800 toward a stairlift, processed through the La Crosse VA Clinic at 4000 State Road 16 (Valley View Mall Annex), part of the Tomah VA Medical Center system. Non-service-connected veterans qualify for $2,000.

Will Wisconsin Medicaid pay for a stairlift?

Yes, through the IRIS (Include, Respect, I Self-Direct) waiver. Stairlifts are an explicitly covered home modification under HCPCS code S5165. Eligibility requires nursing-home level of care and an approved IRIS care plan with your consultant.

How does Family Care differ from IRIS for funding?

Family Care is the agency-managed Medicaid long-term care program, while IRIS is the self-directed version. Both cover stairlifts as home modifications. Holmen residents can apply through the Aging and Disability Resource Center of La Crosse County in West Salem.

Does Medicare cover stairlifts in Wisconsin?

Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover stairlifts — they are classified as home modifications, not durable medical equipment. Some Wisconsin Medicare Advantage plans offer a small home-safety benefit; check your plan's annual notice.

A word from Luis

Holmen sits inside the Driftless Area, and that geography shows up in the staircases. The newer King's Bluff Estates and Seven Bridges Addition homes are built into bluff slopes — many have a walk-out lower level with two staircases instead of one, which means we frequently install two units per house. The 1990s ranches in Cole Addition and Remington Hills are far more standard: one straight run, 14 to 16 steps, carpeted treads.
Wisconsin winters mean every Holmen install gets a battery backup discussion. We get sustained sub-zero stretches in January and February, and a stairlift battery loses about 20% of its capacity below 20°F. After 15+ years installing across La Crosse County, I always recommend keeping the unit on its charging dock rather than parked mid-rail, especially in unheated stairwells.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Holmen homeowners stay close to family, and most of the calls we get are from adult children in La Crosse or Onalaska wanting to keep their parents out of assisted living. A stairlift solves the staircase problem in one visit — most straight rails ship same-week, curved rails in 10 to 14 business days from measurement.

Call for a free in-home assessment, or send photos of your staircase first and we'll quote a price range before anyone steps inside. No upselling, no scripted sales pitch — just a measured number you can hold us to.
