Expert Stairlift Installation in Moorestown-Lenola, NJ

A straight-rail install takes 2.5 to 4 hours from arrival to final test. Curved rails take 4 to 6 hours since the rail ships in sections and gets assembled on site. We bolt the rail to the stair treads — no wall drilling, no drywall work, no electrical changes. The lift plugs into a standard 120V outlet within 10 feet of the stairs. Most jobs start at 8:00 a.m. and finish before lunch.

No. The rail mounts to the treads with lag bolts, not the wall or balusters. In Historic District colonials on Main Street and Chester Avenue, we use narrow-profile brackets that leave the original woodwork intact. If you ever remove the lift, the bolt holes fill with wood putty and disappear under a coat of stain. The horsehair-plaster walls common in 1700s-1800s homes never get touched.

Yes. Our outdoor lifts carry an IP55 rating — sealed against rain, snow, and dust. The motor housing, rail, and seat upholstery use marine-grade materials that stand up to Moorestown-Lenola's freeze-thaw cycles (January lows average 26°F). We've installed outdoor units on stone-paved entries in the Strawbridge Lake area that have run through multiple winters without a service call.

No building permit is required for a residential stairlift in Moorestown Township or anywhere in Burlington County. Stairlifts are classified as accessibility equipment, not structural alterations. The install takes one morning, and the staircase stays fully usable for other household members — the seat and footrest fold up to about 11 inches when not in use.

The HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) grant provides up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans and $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans making home accessibility modifications. It's a one-time, tax-free benefit — never repaid. The Cherry Hill VA Clinic at 1899 Route 70 East in Cherry Hill (about 5 miles south) can initiate the application; complex cases route to the Philadelphia VA Medical Center at 3900 Woodland Avenue. You'll need a medical-necessity statement from your VA primary care provider. We handle the paperwork at your assessment.

Yes, through MLTSS (Managed Long Term Services and Supports), New Jersey's Medicaid waiver program. MLTSS provides up to $15,000 as a lifetime benefit for residential modifications, stairlifts included. You must be enrolled in NJ FamilyCare and assessed as needing nursing-facility-level care to qualify. The Burlington County Board of Social Services in Westampton (about 12 miles east) handles eligibility. We can connect you with a care manager during your assessment.

JACC (Jersey Assistance for Community Caregiving) is a state-funded program for New Jersey residents 60+ who need nursing-home-level care but don't qualify for Medicaid. It provides roughly $1,090/month in services, including Environmental Accessibility Adaptations that cover stairlifts and home modifications. Administered through the Burlington County Office on Aging at 609-265-5069 — call them for a JACC screening.

Yes, and Luis maps out the stack at the assessment. A common Moorestown-Lenola scenario: a veteran uses the HISA grant ($6,800) for the bulk of the cost, then finances the remainder at $79/month. MLTSS and JACC cannot be combined since both run through NJ FamilyCare, but either can be paired with private financing. Bring your discharge paperwork (DD-214) and any Medicaid enrollment cards to the assessment.
