Straight Stairlift

Most common · From $2,800

The majority of Martinsville homes — especially the colonials along Washington Valley Road and the Cape Cods in Bradley Gardens — have straight staircases. A straight rail bolts to the treads in about 3 hours with no drywall work. Battery backup comes standard, which matters here because winter ice storms have knocked out power in the Watchung foothills for 6-plus hours at a stretch.

Starting at $3,150 installed

What's Included

Battery backup for power outages
Swivel seat with safety lock
Two wireless remote controls
Soft start and soft stop motion
Fold-up seat, arms, and footrest
10-year motor & gearbox warranty

Compared to Alternatives

vs Curved: 3x less expensive and installed in one visit. vs Home elevator: 10-15x less cost and no construction. vs Moving bedroom downstairs: Keeps your home exactly as it is.

Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Somerset County

Somerset County, NJ

Martinsville stretches across the northern edge of Bridgewater Township, from the wooded lots along Washington Valley Road — where colonials and Capes sit on acre-plus parcels — to the hillside homes off Mountain Top Road with their wider staircases and landing turns. The Chimney Rock area near Washington Valley Park has a mix of mid-century ranches and newer construction, many with exterior entry stairs that weather hard in freeze-thaw winters. Over on Vosseller Avenue, 1960s split-levels and raised ranches dominate, and those half-flight entry stairs are often the first place families look for a lift. Green Knoll and Bradley Gardens round out the southern end — Green Knoll with its townhomes and single-family homes near the golf course, Bradley Gardens with ranches and Cape Cods built across several decades.

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

Luis came out to our place off Washington Valley Road the same week we called. Our staircase is original to the 1910 farmhouse — steep, narrow, with treads worn smooth from a century of footsteps. He measured everything, told us a straight rail would fit fine, and had it in three days later. My mother-in-law hadn't been upstairs in eight months. The look on her face when she rode up to her bedroom for the first time since last summer — that was worth every penny.

We live in the Bradley Gardens section and our staircase has a tight 90-degree turn at the landing. Three other companies told us a curved lift would take six to eight weeks and cost north of $12,000. Luis measured it with the laser in under an hour, the custom rail arrived in two weeks, and the total was $9,200 installed. My husband has Parkinson's and was starting to struggle on the turn. Now he goes up and down without me having to spot him. The rail follows the contour perfectly — it's like it grew there.

Our split-level on Vosseller Avenue has six steps from the driveway to the front door. My father uses a walker and those six steps might as well have been a mountain. Luis put in an outdoor stairlift — IP55-rated, powder-coated rail, seat cover that sheds rain like a duck. It's been through one full winter now, including that February storm that dropped 16 inches. Started every time. No rust, no hesitation, no drama.

We're in the Sunset Lake townhome community and the stairs here are carpeted with a 180-degree switchback at the landing. I was worried about rail placement making the hallway too tight, but Luis set the rail so the folded chair tucks in at 14 inches from the wall. There's still room to walk past it carrying groceries. He also helped me file the HISA grant paperwork through the Lyons VA — I'm a Navy vet and the $6,800 covered nearly the whole curved install.

I manage my mother's care and she lives alone in a ranch off Foothill Road near the Finderne border. She has COPD and the 10 steps to the basement laundry were becoming dangerous. Luis installed a straight unit in under three hours and walked her through the controls three times until she was comfortable. He didn't rush, didn't talk down to her, and even adjusted the seat height a week later when she said the footrest felt off. That follow-up call was free.

Common Questions

Everything Martinsville 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 Martinsville, NJ?

A straight stairlift in Martinsville starts at $2,800 installed. Curved lifts start at $9,000 because each rail is custom-bent to your staircase after a laser measurement. Outdoor units start at $4,000. Heavy-duty models rated to 600 pounds start at $5,050. The price you're quoted at the assessment is the price you pay — we don't add surprise fees for the install, the demo, or the follow-up visit. Financing runs $79/month through a third-party lender.

Are there any hidden costs or extra fees for Martinsville installations?

No. The quote includes the rail, the chair, the install labor, the demonstration, and the first-year service check. We don't charge extra for homes on Washington Valley Road with long driveways or houses off Chimney Rock Road that take an extra 10 minutes to reach. If your staircase needs a minor modification — like trimming a baseboard for rail clearance — that's included too. The only thing not included is optional extended warranty beyond the standard 5-year coverage.

How does a Martinsville stairlift price compare to nearby towns like Warren?

The price is the same — $2,800 for a straight lift, $9,000 for curved. We don't vary pricing by ZIP code. Whether you're in Martinsville, Bound Brook, Somerville, or Bridgewater, the equipment cost and labor rate are identical. What does change is the travel time for service calls, but those are covered under warranty regardless of location within Somerset County.

Do Martinsville homeowners need to pay sales tax on a stairlift?

In New Jersey, stairlifts prescribed by a physician for a diagnosed medical condition are generally exempt from state sales tax. If your doctor writes a prescription or a certificate of medical necessity, you won't pay the 6.625% New Jersey sales tax on the unit. We walk you through the paperwork at the assessment so you have it ready before the install date.

How long does stairlift installation take in a Martinsville home?

Three hours for a straight lift, four to five for a curved rail. The rail bolts directly to the stair treads, not the wall — so the drywall stays intact and there's no painting or patching afterward. On Martinsville's older colonials with thick oak treads, the bolts seat especially well. The chair runs on a DC motor with a rechargeable battery, so it plugs into a standard wall outlet at the top or bottom of the stairs. No rewiring, no circuit changes.

Will a stairlift damage the hardwood treads in my Martinsville colonial?

No. The rail brackets bolt through the treads with five to seven fasteners per bracket. When the lift is eventually removed, the holes are about the diameter of a pencil and can be filled with wood putty and touched up. We've installed on 200-year-old oak treads in Washington Valley farmhouses and on brand-new engineered hardwood in Mountain Top custom builds — the process is the same, and the treads are structurally unaffected.

Can you install on the narrow staircases common in older Martinsville Cape Cods?

Yes. The standard stairlift rail and folded chair extend about 14 to 15 inches from the wall. Most Cape Cods in Martinsville have staircases at least 30 inches wide, so there's still 15-plus inches of clear walking space with the chair folded up. For stairs narrower than 28 inches, we can order a slim-profile rail, but we've rarely needed it in this area. The measurement at the free assessment confirms what will fit.

Do Martinsville homes with split-level entry stairs need an outdoor unit?

If the stairs are outside the home's envelope — exposed to rain, snow, and sun — you need an outdoor-rated unit. The split-levels on Vosseller Avenue and raised ranches near Chimney Rock Park frequently have exterior entry stairs with no overhang. The outdoor lift uses IP55-sealed components, a powder-coated rail, and a weather-sealed seat cover. It handles Martinsville's 23 inches of annual snowfall and the freeze-thaw cycles that come with Somerset County winters without seizing or corroding.

Can the VA HISA grant help pay for a stairlift in Martinsville?

Yes. The VA's Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant provides up to $6,800 for veterans with service-connected disabilities and up to $2,000 for veterans with non-service-connected conditions. The application starts with a prescription from your VA primary care physician. The nearest VA facility to Martinsville is the Lyons VA Medical Center at 151 Knollcroft Road in Lyons, about six miles southeast. The East Orange VA Medical Center at 385 Tremont Avenue is also available, roughly 25 miles northeast. Both campuses process HISA applications.

Does New Jersey Medicaid cover stairlift installation in Somerset County?

Yes, through New Jersey's MLTSS (Managed Long Term Services and Supports) program, administered by Horizon NJ Health. MLTSS provides up to $15,000 as a lifetime benefit for residential modifications, including stairlifts, when medically necessary to keep a member in their home rather than a nursing facility. You must be enrolled in NJ FamilyCare Medicaid and assessed as needing nursing-home-level care. The Somerset County Office on Aging and Disability Services at 27 Warren Street in Somerville (908-704-6346) can help you start the MLTSS eligibility screening.

What is the JACC program and can it cover a stairlift in Martinsville?

The Jersey Assistance for Community Caregiving (JACC) program is a state-funded alternative to MLTSS for seniors 60 and older who don't qualify for Medicaid but still need nursing-home-level care. JACC covers Environmental Accessibility Adaptations — including stairlifts — under its service package. The program is capped at approximately $1,090 per month in total services per participant. A stairlift would be authorized as part of that monthly allocation. Contact the Somerset County Office on Aging at 908-704-6346 to request a JACC assessment.

Are there Somerset County-specific grants for home accessibility in Martinsville?

Somerset County does not operate a standalone home-modification grant program, but the County Office on Aging and Disability Services connects residents to all state and federal funding streams — MLTSS, JACC, HISA, and the Older Americans Act Title III-B supportive services. The office at 27 Warren Street in Somerville also maintains a list of licensed home-modification contractors and can help Martinsville residents manage the paperwork for any of the programs listed above. Call 908-704-6346 or toll-free 1-888-747-1122 for a phone screening.

A word from Luis

Martinsville is different from the rest of Bridgewater Township. You've got 18th-century farmhouses on Washington Valley Road sitting next to custom builds from the 1990s up on Mountain Top. The stairs don't follow any one pattern — I've measured 36-inch-wide colonial staircases with 200-year-old oak treads, and I've measured modern curved flights in homes off Chimney Rock Road where the turn geometry is completely unique. Each house tells you what it needs when you walk in the door.
The one thing that catches people off guard here is how much a stairlift changes the daily routine. A family on Vosseller Avenue called us because their father had started sleeping in the den to avoid the stairs. After the install, he was back in his upstairs bedroom that same night. That's what matters — not the rail, not the motor, just the person being able to use every room in their own home again.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Martinsville doesn't have a downtown. It doesn't have a Main Street. What it has is 12,000 people spread across rolling Watchung foothills, connected by two-lane roads and the I-287/I-78 interchange. If you live here, you already know that the nearest hardware store is in Bound Brook and the nearest VA facility is Lyons, six minutes south on Knollcroft Road. You also know that when a family member can't do the stairs anymore, waiting to address it only makes things harder.

We've installed across every style of home in this ZIP code — the 1723 farmhouse, the 1962 split-level, the 2020 custom colonial. Same process every time: measure, bolt the rail to the treads, plug it in, test it, show the family how it works. Three hours, start to finish. If you're in Martinsville and you're reading this because someone in your house is avoiding the stairs, call Luis. He'll come out, look at the staircase, and tell you exactly what it'll take.
