Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Hillsborough County

Hillsborough County, NH

Merrimack stairlift installations span all four historic villages. In East Merrimack, 1970s colonials put bedrooms upstairs from the only full bath — the most common reason families call. Reeds Ferry homes, some Colonial-era near the old ferry crossing on Daniel Webster Highway, have narrow staircases where a folding seat saves the day. Woodland Park split-levels separate the primary bedroom from the kitchen by a full flight. Thorntons Ferry homes near Naticook Lake have steep stair pitches that benefit from custom rail angles. Turkey Hill and South Merrimack raised ranches turn half-flight entry stairs into daily obstacles. 55+ communities like Parker Village and Souhegan River View Village keep single-level living, but garage steps and basement stairs still need lifts.

Luis put a straight stairlift in my mom's split-level off Baboosic Lake Road. She hadn't slept in her own bed for eight months — the bedroom's upstairs and the full bath is too. The rail went in on a Tuesday, bolted right to the treads, and by 2pm she was riding up and down showing the neighbor. I stopped having to drive over at 7am to help her down the stairs. That alone was worth it.

We moved to Parker Village thinking single-level living would solve everything — then my husband's knees got worse and the three steps from the garage into the house became a problem. Luis installed a short straight rail on the garage steps. Took maybe two hours. My husband can bring groceries in by himself again. The HOA had zero issues with it.

Our deck stairs in the back face the Souhegan River and those treads were ice sheets every winter. We got the outdoor lift installed in November and it made it through the whole season — snow, freeze-thaw, road salt off the driveway. I was skeptical the motor would hold up outdoors but Luis explained the IP55 rating and the weather-sealed housing. It's April now and the lift runs like day one.

My father is 290 lb and none of the standard stairlifts we looked at went past 300. Luis came out and measured for the heavy-duty model — 600 lb capacity, wider seat, reinforced rail. Our house on Wilson Hill Road has a straight staircase but it's longer than average because of the raised-ranch layout. The heavy-duty rail handled the extra span fine. Dad uses it four times a day, no issues.

My husband uses a wheelchair and we needed the platform lift, not a seat lift. Luis showed us the indoor inclined platform — flat black deck, yellow safety edges, carries up to 600 lb. It went on the straight staircase in our colonial near the Baboosic Lake conservation area. Now my husband rolls onto the platform, rides up, and can use the upstairs bathroom independently. The platform folds up when he's not on it so the rest of us still use the stairs normally.

Our house in Heron Cove is single-level but the basement stairs were a dealbreaker for my wife's sewing room down there. Luis put in a straight rail and it's been perfect — quiet, smooth, and the seat folds up so it doesn't block the stairway for me. The whole thing took a morning. We financed it at $79/month and barely notice the payment.

Common Questions

Everything Merrimack 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 Merrimack, NH?

Straight rail from $2,800, curved from $9,000, outdoor from $4,000, and heavy-duty from $5,050. All prices include installation within 2-3 weeks of measurement. No hidden charges — the quote covers the rail, chair, install labor, and a walkthrough demo before the crew leaves.

Why do curved stairlifts cost more than straight ones in Merrimack?

Curved rails are custom-bent to match your exact stair turn after a 1-hour laser measurement on site. Common in the split-levels around Woodland Park and older colonials in Thorntons Ferry where stairs turn 90° at a landing. The custom fabrication adds cost, but the install itself still takes about 4-5 hours.

Are there any Merrimack-specific fees or permits required for a stairlift?

No building permit needed in Merrimack — a stairlift is classified as a removable home modification, not a structural change. No inspection required. If you're in a 55+ community like Parker Village or Souhegan River View Village, check your HOA's medical-equipment policy, but most treat stairlifts the same as a wheelchair ramp and cannot restrict them.

Is financing available for Merrimack residents?

Yes — from $79/month with approved credit, no prepayment penalty. Most Merrimack families finance over 24-60 months. We run the application during the free in-home assessment; you'll have an answer in under 10 minutes.

How long does stairlift installation take in a Merrimack home?

Most straight-rail installs take about 3 hours from arrival to demo. Curved rails take 4-5 hours since the rail is custom-fabricated at the shop beforehand. We bolt the rail to the stair treads — no drywall work, no rewiring. The lift plugs into a standard wall outlet near the stairs.

Will a stairlift damage my Merrimack home's stairs or walls?

No. The rail bolts to the stair treads, not the wall. When removed, the bolt holes are the size of a pencil and fill easily. No effect on drywall, handrails, or trim. In older homes — like those near Reeds Ferry dating to the 1700s — we take extra care with original wide-plank hardwood treads.

Do stairlifts work during New Hampshire winter power outages?

Yes. Every lift comes with a DC battery backup. The 4Ah battery runs the lift for about 6 hours after a power cut — enough for a typical New England winter outage. The battery recharges automatically when power returns. For outdoor lifts on porches in Turkey Hill or near the Souhegan River, the IP55 weather-sealed motor handles freeze-thaw cycles and snow without a problem.

Can a stairlift fit the narrow staircases in older Merrimack homes?

Almost always. The standard rail needs 28 inches of stair width. Most 1970s colonials in Merrimack have 36-42 inch staircases. Even the older homes near Reeds Ferry with tighter stairs can usually fit a lift — the seat and armrests fold up to about 14 inches when parked and not in use.

Does the VA HISA grant cover stairlifts for veterans in Merrimack?

Yes. The VA Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans and $2,000 for non-service-connected. It's a one-time, tax-free benefit — never repaid. Apply through the Manchester VA Medical Center at 718 Smyth Road, Manchester, NH 03104 (603-624-4366). Your VA primary care provider writes the medical-necessity statement; we help with the rest of the paperwork.

Does New Hampshire Medicaid cover stairlift costs?

Through the Choices for Independence (CFI) Waiver — New Hampshire's 1915(c) HCBS Medicaid program for adults 18+ who need nursing-home level care but want to stay at home. Home modifications including stairlifts are covered when medically necessary. You need NH residency, Medicaid financial eligibility (asset limit: $2,500 for a single applicant in 2026), and an assessment showing you need help with 2+ activities of daily living.

Are there state programs in New Hampshire that help pay for a stairlift?

New Hampshire runs the Home Access Modifications Program through seven local agencies. A trained staff person visits your home, assesses accessibility needs, and helps build a modification plan. The NH Assistive Technology Program also offers device demonstrations and short-term equipment loans so you can try equipment before committing. Neither program is income-restricted.

How do I start the funding process for a stairlift in Merrimack?

Call us for a free in-home assessment. We measure your stairs, give you a firm quote, and walk you through which programs you qualify for — no obligation. For VA: we help you get the medical-necessity letter from your Manchester VAMC provider and submit HISA Form 10-0103. For CFI Waiver: we connect you with a NH care coordinator. Most families have funding sorted within 2-4 weeks.

A word from Luis

I've put stairlifts into every kind of home Merrimack has — from the old Colonials in Reeds Ferry with their narrow, steep staircases to the 1970s split-levels in Woodland Park where the primary bedroom is a full floor away from the kitchen. The thing most families here don't realize until we walk through is how hard the freeze-thaw cycles are on outdoor stairs. If your porch steps in Turkey Hill are already getting slick in January, an outdoor lift with an IP55 motor housing holds up a lot better than another winter of road salt and ice melt eating the concrete.
One install that sticks with me was a curved rail in Thorntons Ferry — a 1780s home where the staircase wrapped around a chimney. Laser measurement took an hour, the rail was bent in the shop, and we had it in by lunch. The homeowner's daughter cried when her mom went upstairs for the first time in three years. That's not marketing. That's just what happens when you give someone their bedroom back.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Merrimack sits between the Souhegan and Merrimack Rivers, built around four villages that go back to the 1700s. Most of the housing stock dates to the 1970s — colonials, split-levels, raised ranches — where two-story living was the standard. Fifty years later, those same stairs are the reason families call us. Whether it's a straight rail in a Woodland Park colonial or a curved install in a Thorntons Ferry antique, the goal is the same: keep your parent in the home they know, in the town they helped build.

Give Luis a call. The assessment is free. He'll measure the stairs, walk you through the funding options — HISA for veterans, Choices for Independence for Medicaid-eligible residents — and give you a firm quote the same day. Most installs happen within two weeks.
