Expert Stairlift Installation in Mount Laurel, NJ

A straight stairlift installs in 3 to 4 hours. Curved rails take 4 to 6 hours on install day — the custom fabrication happens off-site after the laser measurement, so you're not waiting around. Outdoor units run about 3 to 4 hours as well. The whole process, from first phone call to completed install, is usually under two weeks for straight rails and three to four weeks for curved.

No. The rail bolts directly to the stair treads, not the wall. Your drywall stays intact — no patching, no painting, no dust. In Ramblewood homes with original oak treads, the bolts are small and the oak grain hides them. On carpeted stairs like those in Birchfield townhomes, the carpet fibers close back around the bolt heads. When the lift is removed, the treads look nearly untouched.

Most Mount Laurel HOAs — including Ramblewood, Devonshire, Rancocas Woods, and Birchfield — treat stairlifts as medical equipment, which means they fall under Fair Housing Act accessibility provisions. The HOA cannot unreasonably deny a stairlift. We handle the HOA notification for you — a quick letter with the install specs. In 15 years, we've never had an HOA push back on a medically necessary stairlift in Mount Laurel.

Yes. The curved staircases in Mount Laurel's larger colonials — especially in Tuscany Estates, Stonegate, and the higher-end Ramblewood sections — need a custom rail. We do a 1-hour laser measurement on site that maps every angle and turn. The rail is then fabricated to match your exact staircase. It fits flush against the treads and follows the curve precisely, with no gaps or overhang.

Yes, through the HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) grant. Veterans with service-connected disabilities can receive up to $6,800 — which covers a straight stairlift and most of a curved one. Non-service-connected veterans can receive up to $2,000. The grant is one-time, tax-free, and never repaid. Your VA primary care provider writes the medical-necessity letter. The closest VA facility is the Burlington County VA Clinic at 3000 Lincoln Drive East, Suite E, in Marlton (about 4 miles from central Mount Laurel).

Yes, through two programs. NJ FamilyCare's MLTSS (Managed Long Term Services and Supports) covers home modifications including stairlifts for Medicaid-eligible residents who meet nursing-home level of care. Separately, the JACC program (Jersey Assistance for Community Caregiving) provides up to $1,090 per month per participant for in-home services and environmental modifications — including stairlifts — for New Jersey residents age 60 and older with resources at or below $40,000 (individual) or $60,000 (couple). Both programs require an assessment through Burlington County's Area Agency on Aging.

Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover stairlifts — they are classified as home modifications, not durable medical equipment. Some Medicare Advantage plans may offer a home-modification allowance, but it varies by plan. The better path for Mount Laurel seniors is JACC (state-funded, age 60+) or MLTSS (Medicaid-based). Both programs specifically cover stairlifts when medically necessary. We can help you check which program fits your situation during the free assessment.

Yes — financing starts at $79/month with no prepayment penalty. We work with a third-party lender that offers 12-month, 24-month, and 36-month terms. Approval takes about 10 minutes and does not affect your credit score to check. For Mount Laurel veterans, the HISA grant is the better option if you qualify — $6,800 for service-connected veterans covers a straight stairlift completely. We help with the HISA paperwork at no charge.
