Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Summit County

Summit County, OH

New Franklin spreads across four distinct areas, each with its own stairlift profile. The Manchester corridor along Manchester Road holds 1950s–70s colonials and ranches — straight hardwood staircases, standard 36-inch widths, bolt-to-tread installs. Clinton in the northwest is split-level territory: mid-century homes with half-flight staircases that often measure for curved rails at the landing turn. Around the Portage Lakes — Turkeyfoot Lake, Rex Lake, West Reservoir — lakefront homes on sloped lots have exterior staircases from deck to dock, the kind where outdoor weather-sealed lifts earn their keep through freeze-thaw winters. The Nimisila Road acreage properties feature farmhouse-style homes where basement-to-kitchen stairlifts are common because the first floor holds the primary suite.

The stairlift Luis put in our Manchester colonial has been running for six months now without a hiccup. My wife has arthritis in both knees and the 14 stairs to our bedroom were getting impossible. Luis came out on a Wednesday, measured, and had it installed by Friday that same week. He showed us how to use the battery backup and the swivel seat. The rail sits tight against the wall — you barely notice it.

We put off getting a stairlift for two years because my husband thought it would wreck the staircase in our Clinton split-level. Luis measured everything and showed us exactly where the rail would bolt — into the treads, not the wall. The curved section at the landing turn came back from the factory two weeks later. Install was one morning. You can still use the stairs normally. The fold-up seat and footrest are out of the way.

My mother moved in with us at our Portage Lakes home last fall. The outdoor steps from the driveway up to the front door were the first problem — icy in winter, slippery in fall. Luis put in an outdoor lift with a cover for the seat. It's been through one full Northeast Ohio winter now. Still runs like the day it went in. The marine-grade finish matters out here with the lake moisture.

Got the heavy-duty model for my brother who uses a walker and weighs about 340. Luis recommended the 600-lb-capacity lift after the home assessment — the standard 300-lb unit would have been borderline. We're on South Turkeyfoot Road and the staircase is wider than most, so the heavy-duty rail fit without any clearance issues. Three-hour install, works every time. Battery backup tested during that outage in January and ran fine.

Luis handled the whole PASSPORT waiver process with us. My mother qualified through Direction Home Akron Canton, and the $15,000 annual home-modification benefit covered the full curved-stairlift install on our Nimisila property. He knew which forms needed the physician's signature and which ones the case manager signs. The lift was in three weeks after the waiver approval came through.

We live near Lakeside Park and needed a straight lift for my father-in-law after his hip replacement. Luis came out the day after we called. He walked the staircase, gave us a firm quote on the spot — no upsells, no pressure. The rail went in on a Thursday, 13 feet, beige to match the oak treads. My father-in-law used it the same day. The remote controls at top and bottom mean my mother-in-law can call the lift to her level too.

Common Questions

Everything New Franklin 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 straight stairlift cost in New Franklin?

A straight stairlift in New Franklin starts at $2,800 for a standard 12–14 foot staircase. That includes the rail, seat, two remote controls, battery backup, and a 3-hour professional install by Luis. The price stays the same whether you're in a Manchester colonial, a Clinton split-level, or a Nimisila Road ranch — the rail length and stair material (hardwood, carpet, stone) don't change the base price. We give the exact quote at the free home assessment, never after.

How much is a curved stairlift for a New Franklin split-level?

Curved stairlifts in New Franklin start at $9,000. These are custom-built — the price depends on the number of turns, the rail length, and whether the staircase has an intermediate landing. Clinton and Portage Lakes split-levels with one 90-degree turn at the landing typically land between $9,000 and $11,500. Luis does a 1-hour laser measurement on site, then the rail is bent at the factory to your exact stair geometry. Lead time is about two weeks.

Are outdoor stairlifts more expensive in New Franklin's climate?

Outdoor stairlifts start at $4,000 in New Franklin. The higher cost versus indoor models reflects the IP55 weather sealing, marine-grade components, and UV-resistant seat material needed for Northeast Ohio's freeze-thaw winters and lake-effect moisture. Properties around the Portage Lakes — Turkeyfoot Lake, Rex Lake, West Reservoir — benefit from the weatherproofing. A fitted seat cover comes standard.

Does the heavy-duty stairlift cost more than a standard model?

Yes — heavy-duty stairlifts in New Franklin start at $5,050. The higher price covers the reinforced 600-lb-capacity rail, wider seat, and stronger motor. For most users under 300 lb, the standard $2,800 straight lift is sufficient. Luis checks weight requirements at the assessment. About 15% of our New Franklin installs use the heavy-duty model.

How long does stairlift installation take in New Franklin homes?

Most New Franklin installs take 3 to 4 hours. Straight stairlifts on standard staircases — like the 1950s–70s colonials in Manchester or ranches off Nimisila Road — run closer to 3 hours. Curved stairlifts, common in Clinton split-levels and Portage Lakes lakefront homes, take 4 to 5 hours because the custom rail has more sections to join. We bolt the rail to the treads, not the wall, so there's no drywall work, no repainting, and no cleanup beyond vacuuming the drill points.

Will the stairlift damage my staircase or walls?

No. The rail bolts directly to the stair treads — never the wall. When the lift is eventually removed, you fill the bolt holes with wood filler on hardwood stairs or patch compound on stone treads. The drywall stays untouched. In 15 years installing in New Franklin, Luis has never had a staircase damaged during install. The rail sits about 12 inches from the wall, leaving room for other family members to use the stairs normally.

Do you serve all areas of New Franklin — Manchester, Clinton, Portage Lakes?

Yes — every neighborhood in New Franklin. Manchester along Manchester Road, Clinton in the northwest, the Portage Lakes waterfront communities (Turkeyfoot Lake, Rex Lake, West Reservoir, Nimisila), and the acreage properties off South Turkeyfoot and Granger Road. Free home assessment anywhere in the 44319 and 44216 zip codes, usually within 48 hours of your call.

Can the stairlift run during a power outage in New Franklin?

Yes. Every stairlift we install in New Franklin comes with a DC motor and a 4Ah battery backup. During a power outage — common in Northeast Ohio winter storms — the battery runs the lift for about 6 to 8 hours of normal use. The lift charges automatically when power returns. No generator needed. This matters in the Portage Lakes area where ice storms occasionally knock out lines for a full day.

Does the VA HISA grant cover stairlifts for New Franklin veterans?

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 veterans with a 50% or higher disability rating. It's a one-time grant, tax-free, never repaid. New Franklin veterans get their HISA prescription through the Akron VA Clinic at 55 West Waterloo Road or the Summit County VA Clinic at 111 East Voris Street, both CBOCs of the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center. Luis works with both clinics regularly and can help you start the paperwork.

Can Ohio's PASSPORT Medicaid waiver pay for a stairlift in New Franklin?

Yes. The PASSPORT waiver, administered through Direction Home Akron Canton Area Agency on Aging, covers home modifications up to $15,000 per calendar year — including stairlifts — for Medicaid-eligible Summit County residents age 60 and older. The benefit resets each calendar year. To apply, contact Direction Home Akron Canton at their Uniontown office. A case manager visits your home first, then Luis coordinates the assessment and install after approval.

Are there any Summit County-specific grants for stairlifts?

Summit County doesn't run its own stairlift grant program, but Direction Home Akron Canton offers an Aging in Place minor home-modification program for Summit County residents 60+ who don't qualify for Medicaid waivers. The PASSPORT waiver ($15,000/calendar year) is the primary funding source for most New Franklin seniors. Luis can walk you through both options at the free home assessment.

What financing options are available for a New Franklin stairlift?

We offer financing from $79/month through third-party lenders. Most New Franklin customers either pay outright or use a combination of funding sources: the VA HISA grant for veterans ($6,800 service-connected), the PASSPORT waiver for Medicaid-eligible seniors ($15,000/calendar year), or the financing plan. Luis reviews all funding and payment options at the assessment — there's no credit-check requirement to get a quote.

A word from Luis

I've installed stairlifts in New Franklin since before it was even a city — back when it was still Franklin Township. The homes here have real variety. You've got 1950s colonials in Manchester with narrow oak staircases, 1970s split-levels in Clinton where the half-flight turn needs a custom curved rail, and lakefront properties around Turkeyfoot and Rex Lake where outdoor lifts take a beating from freeze-thaw cycles and lake moisture. What I like about this community is that people do their homework. They ask about the bolt pattern, the battery runtime, the warranty terms. I'd rather spend an extra 20 minutes answering those questions at the assessment than have someone surprised later.
The PASSPORT waiver changed things for a lot of families here. $15,000 per calendar year covers most curved installs completely. And I work with the Akron VA Clinic regularly for veterans using the HISA grant. If you're anywhere in New Franklin — Manchester, Clinton, Portage Lakes, Nimisila, wherever — I'll come out and measure your stairs for free. No pitch, just measurements and a firm quote.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

New Franklin's mix of housing stock — mid-century colonials in Manchester, split-levels in Clinton, lakefront properties around the Portage Lakes — means stairlift solutions here rarely look the same from one street to the next. A straight rail on a Nimisila Road ranch runs $2,800 and goes in before lunch. A curved rail at a Turkeyfoot Lake home with a 90-degree turn and a chandelier overhead takes two weeks of factory bending and a half-day install. What stays the same is the free home assessment, the bolt-to-tread method that leaves your walls intact, and the backup battery that keeps the lift moving when a winter storm knocks out the power.

If you or someone in your household is avoiding the stairs — holding the rail with both hands, sitting down to scoot step by step, or just staying on one floor — call Luis at the New Franklin office. He's been installing in Summit County for 15 years. He'll measure, quote a firm number, and walk you through every funding option: VA HISA, PASSPORT Medicaid waiver, or financing from $79/month. Same phone number whether you're off Manchester Road or South Turkeyfoot.
