Luis installed a straight lift on our Medlock Park stairs in just under three hours. My dad had been sleeping on the couch for four months because he couldn't get upstairs. The rail is bolted to the oak treads — you barely notice it. Luis explained the battery backup clearly and showed my mom how to use the remote. No hard sell, just competence.

Our Leafmore Hills split-level had a half-flight then a 90-degree turn at the landing — I thought a stairlift would be impossible. Luis measured it with a laser in about an hour, and two weeks later the custom curved rail fit perfectly. My wife uses it daily now. The whole thing cost $10,200 installed, about what he quoted at the assessment.

I was skeptical about an outdoor lift because our porch stairs in University Heights face west and get full Georgia sun. Luis recommended the weather-sealed outdoor model — said the marine-grade coating would hold up. It's been 18 months, no issues. My mother-in-law can come in through the front door again instead of going around through the garage.

We have a full finished basement in Sagamore Hills where our son with a wheelchair lives. Luis installed a platform lift on the basement stairs — flat black deck, yellow safety edges, holds up to 600 pounds. The install took five hours. He filed the EDWP waiver paperwork with us at the kitchen table. Two months later, the state approved the full amount.

Called Luis for my mom's Oak Grove split-level. The stairs are steeper than average and she had already fallen once. He came out the next morning for a free assessment, showed us exactly where the rail would bolt, and had it installed by Friday. Straight rail, $2,800. The $79/month financing made it easy — no big check to write.

My husband is a Vietnam vet and Luis walked us through the HISA grant process start to finish. The Atlanta VA on Clairmont approved the $6,800 within six weeks. The straight lift went in on our Lindmoor Woods stairs — original 1963 hardwood, not a scratch. Luis knew the VA forms, the prosthetics contact, everything. Couldn't have done it without him.

Common Questions

Everything North Decatur 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.

How much does a straight stairlift cost in North Decatur?

A straight stairlift in North Decatur starts at $2,800, installed. That covers the rail, seat, battery backup, and a 3-hour install on a standard mid-century staircase — the kind you see in most Medlock Park and Oak Grove ranches. The price doesn't change based on neighborhood or lot slope. Curved lifts for split-levels with landing turns start at $9,000.

What affects the price of a curved stairlift in North Decatur homes?

Curved stairlift pricing depends on the number of turns and the rail length. In Leafmore Hills and University Heights — where split-levels often have a half-flight then a 90-degree turn at the landing — the rail must be bent to match your exact stair geometry. We laser-measure on site (about an hour) and the custom rail is fabricated off-site. Typical curved installs in North Decatur run $9,000–$12,000 depending on complexity.

Is financing available for a stairlift in North Decatur?

Yes — financing starts at $79/month through our third-party partner. Most North Decatur families choose the 36-month term, which covers the full installed cost. No prepayment penalty. We also help with the EDWP Medicaid waiver paperwork and the VA HISA grant application, either of which can cover the entire cost for qualified residents in DeKalb County.

Does an outdoor stairlift cost more than an indoor one in North Decatur?

Outdoor stairlifts start at $4,000 — about $1,200 more than a basic straight indoor unit. The difference is the weather-sealed motor housing, IP55-rated controls, and marine-grade rail coating that holds up to Georgia humidity, summer downpours, and the occasional January ice. For porch entry stairs in Sagamore Hills or Medlock Park, outdoor units are a common add-on alongside an indoor lift.

How long does a stairlift install take in North Decatur?

A straight stairlift install in a typical North Decatur ranch takes about 3 hours from arrival to cleanup. We bolt the rail directly to the stair treads — no drywall work, no rewiring. Curved lifts take 4–5 hours because we're installing a custom-bent rail. The lift plugs into a standard wall outlet and charges its onboard battery. Most families are riding the lift before lunch.

Will the install damage the hardwood treads in my 1950s North Decatur home?

No. We bolt the rail to the treads using 5/16-inch lag bolts — the holes are small, and if the lift is ever removed, wood filler matches the oak treads common in North Decatur ranches. We never drill into walls or handrails. For homes in Medlock Park and Lindmoor Woods with original hardwood, the bolt points are nearly invisible after install.

Can a stairlift fit the narrow stairs in older North Decatur homes?

Yes. The slimmest folded seat depth on our rails is 11.8 inches — that leaves a 22–24 inch walkway on a 34-inch-wide staircase, which is enough for others to pass. Most North Decatur homes built between 1950 and 1970 have stairs that are 36–42 inches wide, so clearance is rarely an issue. If your stairwell is under 34 inches, we'll measure during the free assessment and confirm fit before you commit.

Does the stairlift work during a power outage in North Decatur?

Yes. Every lift we install in North Decatur has a DC motor with an onboard 4Ah backup battery. During a DeKalb County summer thunderstorm — the kind that knocks out power for a few hours — the battery runs the lift for about 20–25 full trips. It recharges automatically when power returns. No generator needed.

Does the VA HISA grant cover stairlifts for North Decatur veterans?

Yes. The VA Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant covers stairlifts for veterans with a service-connected disability at up to $6,800, and up to $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans. It's a one-time benefit, tax-free, never repaid. North Decatur veterans apply through the Prosthetics and Sensory Aids Service at the Joseph Maxwell Cleland Atlanta VA Medical Center at 1670 Clairmont Road — about 2 miles from the CDP. You'll need a prescription from your VA primary care provider stating the stairlift is medically necessary.

Can Georgia Medicaid pay for a stairlift in North Decatur?

Yes — through the Georgia Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program (EDWP), formerly called the Community Care Services Program (CCSP). EDWP covers home modifications including stairlifts with a $10,000 lifetime cap. To qualify, you must be Medicaid-eligible and assessed at a nursing-facility level of care but choose to remain at home. Contact the DeKalb County Area Agency on Aging to start the assessment. The EDWP application goes through Georgia's Division of Aging Services.

Does Medicare cover stairlift installation in North Decatur?

Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) does not cover stairlifts or home modifications — they're classified as durable medical equipment for the home, which Medicare generally excludes. Some Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans have started adding home-modification benefits in 2025 and 2026, but coverage varies by plan. Your best funding paths in North Decatur are the Georgia EDWP Medicaid waiver ($10,000 lifetime cap) or the VA HISA grant for veterans.

Are there any DeKalb County programs that help pay for a stairlift?

DeKalb County doesn't run a dedicated stairlift grant, but the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) — which serves as the Area Agency on Aging for DeKalb — administers the statewide EDWP waiver and can connect North Decatur residents to home-modification resources. Some North Decatur homeowners have also used the USDA Section 504 Home Repair program (for eligible rural-adjacent areas in DeKalb) and the Georgia ACCESS Home Modification loan program. We help families figure out which path fits during the free in-home assessment.

A word from Luis

North Decatur is my home turf — I've been installing stairlifts in these mid-century neighborhoods since 2010. Most of the homes here are brick ranches and split-levels built between 1950 and 1970, which means the stair geometry is predictable: straight runs, hardwood treads, 36 to 42 inches wide. A straight lift goes in on a standard 3-hour install almost every time.
The bigger variable is the lot. Medlock Park and Leafmore Hills have sloping yards, so the interior stairs often have a half-flight or landing turn — that's where curved rails come in. Over in Oak Grove, I see a lot of split-levels with full basements. The stairs down to the basement are usually steeper and narrower. For wheelchair users, the platform lift installs we've done in Lindmoor Woods and Sagamore Hills have been life-changing — lets them stay in the home they've owned for 30 years instead of moving to a single-level apartment near the Perimeter.
What I tell every family during the assessment: these 1950s homes were built solid. Brick exteriors, oak treads, good bones. A stairlift doesn't change the house — it just gives you back the upstairs.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

North Decatur sits in a pocket of DeKalb County where the housing stock is remarkably consistent — mid-century ranches and split-levels within a 10-minute radius of Emory, the CDC, and the Atlanta VA Medical Center on Clairmont Road. That consistency means most stairlift installs here are simple straight-rail jobs, 3 hours start to finish. For curved rails on the split-levels in Leafmore Hills or the platform lifts in Sagamore Hills basements, we laser-measure on site and the custom rail arrives in about two weeks.

Families in North Decatur tend to stay put — the same homeowners who bought in the 1970s and 1980s are aging in place. We get it. The goal is to keep Mom or Dad in the house they know, on the streets they've walked for decades, near the same DeKalb Farmers Market they shop every Saturday. Call Luis at (800) 965-0350 for a free assessment — usually scheduled within 48 hours.
