Expert Stairlift Installation in Moorestown, NJ

Straight-rail installations take 2 to 3 hours from truck to test ride. Curved-rail installs — common in Moorestown's split-levels and older colonials — take 4 to 5 hours because the custom rail needs precise alignment to the laser-measured template. Outdoor lifts run about 3 hours. We arrive at 8:00 a.m. and clean up by early afternoon. No drywall work, no rewiring — the rail bolts to the stair treads, not the wall.

Yes. Many Historic District colonials have staircases as narrow as 32 inches. We use slim-profile rails and a seat that folds to 11 inches when parked, leaving the stairs passable for other household members. The rail bolts directly into the treads — we don't touch the wall plaster, which is critical in 1700s-1800s Moorestown homes with original horsehair-and-lath construction.

Yes. Outdoor stairlifts are IP55-rated for weather resistance — they handle Moorestown's four-season climate including winter freeze-thaw cycles and summer humidity. The rail is marine-grade aluminum with a sealed motor housing. We've installed them on stone-paved porch entries in Laurel Creek, wooden deck stairs in Moorestown Hunt, and brick stoops in the Historic District. Installation takes about 3 hours.

Yes. Every stairlift we install includes a DC motor with battery backup. The 4Ah battery runs the lift for about 20 round trips after the power goes out — enough to cover a typical winter nor'easter outage. The battery recharges automatically when power returns. No generator needed, no separate transfer switch, no electrical work beyond the standard 120V outlet within 10 feet of the stairs.

The HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans and $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans. It's a one-time, tax-free grant that never needs to be repaid. Start at the Cherry Hill VA Clinic at 1899 Route 70 East in Cherry Hill — about 6 miles south of Moorestown. Their staff can verify eligibility. For complex cases or full reviews, the Philadelphia VA Medical Center at 3900 Woodland Avenue handles the workup. We provide the required quote and prescription documentation at no charge.

Yes, through two programs. NJ FamilyCare MLTSS (Managed Long Term Services and Supports) covers residential modifications including stairlifts for eligible members, with up to $15,000 in lifetime housing-supports benefits. The JACC program (Jersey Assistance for Community Caregiving) is state-funded — it covers minor home modifications for seniors 60+ at risk of nursing-home placement, with a per-participant cap of about $1,090 per month in total services. Both require a clinical assessment. Call the Burlington County Office on Aging at (609) 265-5069 for a JACC screening.

Beyond VA and Medicaid, the Burlington County Office on Aging administers several grant-adjacent programs. The NJ Division of Disability Services can connect you with the state Assistive Technology Advocacy Center (ATAC), which sometimes covers stairlift evaluations. For veterans who don't qualify for HISA, the Burlington County Veterans Service Office in Westampton can screen you for other VA benefit programs. We also work with local community organizations on case-by-case help for low-income seniors in Moorestown.

Yes — $79/month is the starting rate for qualified buyers through our financing partners, on a straight-rail install ($2,800) with standard terms. Curved-rail financing starts proportionally higher based on rail length and number of turns. There is no early-payoff penalty. The application takes 5 minutes online or in person at the assessment, and approval is usually instant. No payment is due until the lift is installed and you've tested it.
