Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Delaware County

Delaware County, PA

Middletown Township stretches across central Delaware County, and the housing stock reflects nearly 340 years of building. In Lima, you find 18th-century stone farmhouses with narrow, steep staircases — the kind where a straight rail bolts right to the treads. Glen Riddle and Riddlewood have mid-century split-levels with half-flight turns that need custom-curved rails. Over in Wyncroft and Lenni Heights, 1970s colonials dominate, often with carpeted stairs and tight landings. The Arbors has wider treads and open stairwells in its newer builds. Elwyn, with its Victorian-era homes and converted institutional buildings, has stair geometries that don't match any standard template. We've put lifts into all of them.

Verified Customer Reviews

Hear It From Your Middletown (Delaware County) Neighbors

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

My mom lives alone in a 1920s farmhouse out in Lima, and the staircase is so narrow I could barely walk up it sideways. Luis came out and measured every tread — 11 of them, all slightly different widths. He put in a straight rail in under 3 hours, and my mother rode it up and down three times just because she could. She hadn't been upstairs in eight months.

We have a split-level in Glen Riddle with a 90-degree turn at the landing. I assumed we'd need to move. Luis showed up with a laser, spent an hour measuring, and three weeks later the curved rail arrived — bent perfectly. The crew had it in by lunchtime. Now my husband can get to the bedroom without me helping him up each step.

I was skeptical about putting a lift on carpeted stairs — thought it would chew up the carpet or look terrible. Luis showed me photos of installs on carpet just like mine in Lenni Heights. The rail brackets clamp around the tread edge and the carpet stays intact. The seat color almost matches our Berber. My dad uses it every morning and evening.

We built a house in The Arbors thinking 'one floor living' meant we'd never need a lift. Then my wife's arthritis got worse and the garage entry had six steps up to the kitchen. Luis installed an outdoor straight lift on the side stoop — weatherproof, key-locked, and it's held up through a full Delaware County winter with zero issues.

My son uses a wheelchair and our home in Elwyn had this impossible staircase — two turns, different rise heights, weird angles from the 1890s renovation. Luis came out three times to measure before he was satisfied. The platform lift runs the full length and my son can get upstairs independently for the first time in his life. Worth every penny.

Got the CHC waiver approved after about four months. Luis held our quote the whole time — never pressured us. When the approval came through, they installed the curved lift the following Tuesday. My mother cried — she'd been sleeping in the dining room for a year because she couldn't climb the stairs in our Riddlewood home.

Common Questions

Everything Middletown (Delaware County) 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 Middletown Township?

A straight stairlift starts at $2,800 installed. Curved lifts, which need a custom rail bent to your exact staircase, start at $9,000. Outdoor lifts begin at $4,000, and heavy-duty models (up to 600 lb capacity) start at $5,050. Every quote includes the on-site laser measurement, rail, seat, installation, battery backup, and a 5-year warranty. Financing runs $79/month for qualified buyers. No hidden fees — the price Luis gives you at the assessment is the price you pay.

Why do curved stairlifts cost more in Middletown Township?

Curved lifts require a custom rail fabricated to match your staircase exactly — every turn, landing, and angle. In Middletown Township, many homes in Glen Riddle, Riddlewood, and older Lima properties have staircases with mid-flight landings or 90-degree turns. Luis spends about an hour laser-measuring every tread, riser, and turn. That data goes to the factory, where the rail is bent to within a quarter-inch tolerance. The rail itself accounts for most of the cost difference between straight and curved.

Are there any discounts or seasonal deals for Middletown Township residents?

We run a $200 discount for veterans and first responders in Delaware County. If you're also pursuing VA or Medicaid funding, we hold the quote for 90 days while your application processes. Financing at $79/month is available year-round, and we don't charge extra for weekend or evening installations — common requests from families coordinating care across shifts.

Does the price include removing the lift later if it's no longer needed?

Yes. Removal of a straight lift takes about an hour and leaves only small bolt holes in the treads — easily filled with wood putty. Curved rail removal takes a bit longer because of the additional brackets. We include removal in our service if the lift is no longer needed. The rail and motor are fully recyclable.

How long does installation take in a Middletown Township home?

A straight lift installs in about 3 hours. Curved lifts take a full morning — typically 4 to 5 hours. Outdoor units run about the same as indoor straight models. The rail bolts to the stair treads, not the wall, so there's no drywall work, no painting, and no electrical rewiring needed. The lift plugs into a standard 120V outlet near the stairs. Luis and his crew handle everything — you don't need to move furniture or clear the stairwell beforehand.

Do I need a permit from Middletown Township for a stairlift?

No. Stairlifts are classified as temporary home modifications under Pennsylvania building code — they bolt to the treads, not the structure. Middletown Township's Code Enforcement office (27 N. Pennell Road) does not require a permit for stairlift installation. If you live in a condo or HOA community in The Arbors or a similar development, we recommend checking your association rules, but we've never had an HOA block a stairlift install in the township.

Can I rent a stairlift instead of buying one in Middletown Township?

We recommend purchase over rental for long-term use — the math works out better after about 18 months. But if you need a lift for a short-term recovery (hip replacement, surgery rehab), we do offer rental options for straight staircases. Rental runs month-to-month with a minimum 3-month term. Curved lifts are not available for rental because the rail is custom-fabricated for one specific staircase.

What happens during a power outage in Middletown Township?

Every lift we install comes with a 4Ah battery backup that runs the lift for about 30 round trips after the power cuts. Delaware County averages about 16 inches of snow per winter, and PECO outages during nor'easters aren't uncommon — the battery has you covered. The lift also works manually; you're never stranded at the top or bottom of the stairs.

Does Pennsylvania Medicaid cover stairlifts in Middletown Township?

Yes — through the Community HealthChoices (CHC) Waiver, Pennsylvania's managed-care HCBS program. CHC consolidated the former Attendant Care, Independence, and CommCare waivers into a single program. Home modifications including stairlifts are covered when medically necessary to keep a person in their home instead of a nursing facility. You must meet nursing-facility-level-of-care criteria and be enrolled in CHC through a managed care organization like AmeriHealth Caritas, PA Health & Wellness, or UPMC for You. The Delaware County Office of Services for the Aging (COSA) on Edgmont Avenue in Media can help determine eligibility.

How does the VA HISA grant work for veterans in Middletown Township?

The HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans and $2,000 for non-service-connected. It's a one-time grant, tax-free, and never needs to be repaid. The nearest VA facility is the Delaware County VA Clinic at 4883 West Chester Pike in Newtown Square (about 5 miles north), part of the Coatesville VA Health Care system. The main Coatesville VA Medical Center is at 1400 Blackhorse Hill Road in Coatesville, PA.

Are there state grants for stairlifts in Pennsylvania besides Medicaid?

Yes. The PA Accessible Housing Program (PAHP) provides grants of up to $50,000 for low-to-moderate-income homeowners with disabilities or older adults to make their homes accessible. It's administered through the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency. Separately, Delaware County's OPTIONS program — run through COSA — can cover home modifications including stairlifts for residents 60 and older who want to age in place. Call COSA at (610) 490-1300 for an in-home assessment.

Can I use Medicare to pay for a stairlift in Middletown Township?

No — Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover stairlifts. They classify them as home modifications, not durable medical equipment. Some Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans have begun offering supplemental home-safety benefits that include stairlift coverage — check your plan's Evidence of Coverage document. The reliable funding routes in Pennsylvania are the CHC Waiver (Medicaid), the HISA grant (VA), the PA Accessible Housing Program, and the OPTIONS program through Delaware County COSA.

A word from Luis

I've been installing stairlifts in Middletown Township since 2010, and I can tell you — no two houses here are alike. You've got 18th-century stone farmhouses in Lima with staircases barely 30 inches wide, where you need to measure every tread individually. Then a mile down Baltimore Pike you hit a 1970s split-level in Riddlewood with a half-landing turn that needs a custom-curved rail bent to within a quarter-inch. The housing stock spans 340 years. That's why I do every measurement myself — laser, on site, about an hour. No guesswork.
The thing I hear most from families around here is that they didn't realize a lift could go in that fast. Three hours for a straight rail on a standard staircase. Curved takes a morning. We bolt into the treads — never the wall — so the drywall stays untouched. I've put lifts into colonials in Wyncroft, split-levels in Lenni Heights, even a platform lift for a wheelchair user in Elwyn whose home was a converted school building with a staircase that defied every template. If you're in Middletown Township and you need to keep using your upstairs, call me. I'll come out tomorrow.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Middletown Township is one of the oldest settlements in Delaware County — established in 1686, before Pennsylvania was even a state. The homes here carry that history, and so do the staircases. Whether you're in a 1790s stone farmhouse on Middletown Road or a 1980s colonial in The Arbors, the question is the same: can you keep using both floors of your house safely?

Call Luis at (800) 965-0350 or fill out the form above. He'll come to your home — Lima, Glen Riddle, Elwyn, anywhere in the township — measure your stairs with a laser, and give you a firm price the same day. Most installs happen within a week.
