Expert Stairlift Installation in Lilburn, GA

A straight stairlift install in Lilburn takes about 3 hours from the time Luis arrives to the final test ride. The rail bolts directly to the stair treads — not the wall — so there's no drywall work, no painting, and no construction mess. Curved rails take longer because each rail is custom-fabricated after the laser measurement. Once the curved rail arrives (typically 2–3 weeks after measuring), the install itself is still a single-day job, usually 4–5 hours.

No. The stairlift rail bolts to the stair treads, not the wall. The brackets attach with lag bolts into the tread — on hardwood or oak treads common in 1980s Parkview homes, the bolt holes are about the diameter of a pencil. On carpeted stairs in Nottingham or Cedar Creek, the carpet gets a small cut that the bracket sits through. If you ever remove the lift, the holes fill easily with wood putty and are almost invisible. The drywall, baseboards, and handrails stay untouched.

Yes. Older homes in Old Town Lilburn and along Main Street sometimes have staircases as narrow as 30–32 inches. For those, we use the Slimline rail — the chair folds up to take only 12 inches of rail space when not in use. The folded chair leaves enough room for someone to walk past on the stairs comfortably. During the free measurement visit, Luis checks the exact width and recommends the right rail profile for your staircase.

Yes. The VA's Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant provides up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans and up to $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans. The grant is one-time, tax-free, and never repaid. For Lilburn veterans, the closest VA facility is the Gwinnett County VA Clinic at 1970 Riverside Parkway in Lawrenceville (about 5 miles away). The Joseph Maxwell Cleland Atlanta VA Medical Center at 1670 Clairmont Road in Decatur handles the full HISA approval process. The paperwork is two forms — we help fill them out at the measurement visit.

Yes, through the Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program (EDWP), which Georgia delivers via two pathways — the Community Care Services Program (CCSP) and SOURCE. EDWP has a $10,000 lifetime cap for home modifications, and stairlifts qualify. To be eligible, the Lilburn resident must be enrolled in Georgia Medicaid, require nursing-facility-level care, and meet income limits. The application goes through the local Area Agency on Aging. Approval takes 6–10 weeks, and the modification must be deemed medically necessary by a physician.

Yes. The Gwinnett Housing Corporation runs an Older Adult Home Modification Program based at 128 Lawrenceville Street in Norcross. An occupational therapist comes to the Lilburn home for an assessment, identifies needed modifications (including stairlifts), and the program covers the work for eligible low-income seniors. Separately, Gwinnett County Senior Services at 567 Swanson Drive in Lawrenceville (678-377-4150) maintains a resource list for home accessibility funding. Both programs aim to help older adults age in place.

No — Medicare Parts A and B do not cover stairlifts. Medicare classifies stairlifts as home modifications, not durable medical equipment, so they fall outside the coverage rules. The same goes for Medicare Advantage plans — stairlift coverage is extremely rare, and we've never seen a plan in Georgia that includes it. The real funding paths in Lilburn are the VA HISA grant (for veterans), Georgia's EDWP/CCSP/SOURCE Medicaid waiver ($10,000 lifetime cap), and the Gwinnett Housing Corporation's Older Adult Home Modification Program. If those don't apply, financing starts at $79/month.
