Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Hennepin County

Hennepin County, MN

We install across all 19 official Hopkins neighborhoods. The Avenues is the most active — 1920s bungalows with steep 14-tread runs and narrow 26-inch widths; slim-profile straight rails go in clean. Interlachen Park ramblers from the 1950s-1970s often need a curved rail for the split-foyer half-landing turn.

Peaceful Valley off 11th Street and the Knollwood Area near the mall have post-war 1.5-stories with moderate runs and wider treads. Bellgrove, Park Valley, the Presidents neighborhood, and West Hopkins round out our regular service area, with outdoor IP55 lifts standard for the freeze-thaw porches.

Verified Customer Reviews

Hear It From Your Hopkins Neighbors

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

Our Avenues bungalow is a 1925 build — narrow treads, original oak, plaster walls. Three other companies said the rail wouldn't fit in our 26-inch stair width. Luis brought a slim-profile model that occupies less than 14 inches deployed. Mom uses it three times a day. Three hours start to finish, no plaster cracked.

We have a 1968 split-foyer rambler in Interlachen Park with a half-landing turn. Luis quoted both options — two straights or one curved — at survey and let us pick. We went with the custom curved rail because Dad uses both levels. The rail came in three weeks. The DC motor is silent.

Our Peaceful Valley 1.5-story has wide treads and a moderate run — Luis said it would be a fast install and he was right. 2 hours 45 minutes start to finish. The seat color matched our beige carpet exactly. He even adjusted the swivel timing so Mom can pivot off without help.

VA HISA grant covered most of the cost for my husband, a Vietnam-era veteran. Luis handled all the paperwork with the Minneapolis VA at One Veterans Drive. From first call to working stairlift was 18 days. The crew was respectful, clean, and the install survived our first January cold snap with no issues.

Our Bellgrove home has a steep 14-tread run and a 90° turn at the upper landing. Luis specced a custom curved rail that wraps the turn without blocking the bedroom door. The cold-rated battery has held charge through three single-digit nights without issue. Mom is back to her own bedroom after 14 months sleeping on the couch.

Common Questions

Everything Hopkins 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 in Hopkins, MN?

A slim-profile straight rail in an Avenues bungalow or Peaceful Valley 1.5-story — 13-14 narrow treads — runs from $2,800 installed. That includes the DC motor, battery backup, swivel seat, and a 5-year warranty plus lifetime rail coverage.

How much does a curved stairlift cost for Interlachen Park ramblers?

Curved rails for the split-foyer half-landings common in Interlachen Park and the 90° upper turns in Bellgrove start at $9,000. The rail is laser-measured on Day 1 and custom-built in 3-4 weeks; installation takes 4-5 hours.

Are there extra costs for Hopkins-area installs?

No. The price quoted at survey is the price you pay. There's no charge for the home visit, no charge for the laser measurement on curved jobs, and no surcharge for the narrow 26-inch treads in The Avenues bungalows.

Do you offer financing in Hopkins?

Yes — financing starts from $79/month with approved credit. We also accept VA HISA grants ($6,800 for service-connected veterans through Minneapolis VA Medical Center) and Minnesota's Elderly Waiver EAA funding (~$21,722/year, CPI-indexed).

How long does a straight stairlift install take in a Hopkins bungalow?

About 3 hours start to finish. The rail bolts directly to the treads — no wall damage, no structural changes to the original 1920s framing. We protect the floors on the way in and haul off the packaging when we leave.

Will the lift handle the cold winter conditions in Hopkins?

Yes. Indoor lifts run on DC motor with battery backup — works through power outages, which matter when an ice storm knocks out the grid west of Minneapolis. Outdoor lifts use IP55-sealed motors with cold-rated batteries that hold charge to -20°F.

Can the lift be installed on the carpeted stairs in our Knollwood Area home?

Yes. The rail brackets bolt through the carpet into the tread structure underneath. We don't pull up your carpet and we don't damage the pad. The lift seat color is matched to your carpet tones at the survey.

What about the split-foyer ramblers in Interlachen Park?

Split-foyer ramblers usually need a curved rail wrapping the half-landing, or two straight rails if you use both upper and lower levels. We laser-measure both options at survey and quote both prices. Common build in Interlachen Park.

Will VA benefits cover a stairlift for Hopkins veterans?

Yes — the VA HISA grant pays up to $6,800 for service-connected disabilities and $2,000 for non-service-connected. Eligibility is processed through the Minneapolis VA Medical Center at One Veterans Drive, Minneapolis, MN 55417, which serves the entire west metro including Hopkins.

Does Minnesota Medicaid cover stairlifts in Hopkins?

Yes — Minnesota's Elderly Waiver under the Essential Adult Anti-poverty (EAA) program covers home modifications including stair glides. The EAA cap is approximately $21,722 per year (CPI-indexed annually), not a lifetime cap. Apply through Hennepin County Human Services.

Are there other Minnesota programs that help pay for stairlifts?

Yes — the Alternative Care (AC) program covers seniors not eligible for Medicaid but at risk of nursing home placement. The Consumer Support Grant (CSG) and the Disability Waiver also cover home accessibility modifications. The Minnesota Medical Expense Deduction may also apply on state taxes.

Can I rent a stairlift instead of buying in Hopkins?

Yes — we offer short-term rentals on straight rails for post-surgery recovery. Rentals run roughly $250/month with a 3-month minimum and full removal at end of term. Useful for Hopkins families bringing a parent home from Methodist Hospital or Park Nicollet after a hip replacement.

A word from Luis

Hopkins is four square miles and 19 official neighborhoods, each with a distinct housing era. The Avenues is mostly 1920s bungalows with steep 14-tread runs and 26-inch widths — slim-profile straight rails are the default. Interlachen Park is 1950s-1970s ramblers with split-foyer entries; about 60% need a curved rail for the half-landing turn.
The Peaceful Valley homes off 11th Street and the Knollwood Area builds near the mall are post-war 1.5-stories — moderate runs, wider treads, easy installs. What everyone forgets in Hopkins: it's freeze-thaw country. November through March, the porches and outdoor entries swing 60 degrees in 24 hours. Every outdoor lift I quote here is IP55 with a cold-rated battery — anything less fails by year three.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Hopkins housing is older than most of the Twin Cities west metro — 1920s bungalows on The Avenues, 1950s ramblers in Interlachen Park, post-war 1.5-stories in Peaceful Valley. Every era has a stair geometry that aged faster than the people climbing it. A straight rail in a 1925 Avenues bungalow installs in 3 hours and costs about $40 a year to run.

Call us for a same-week home survey across Hopkins, Minnetonka, St. Louis Park, and Edina. No deposit until your rail is measured and your installation date is locked.
