Expert Stairlift Installation in North Fayette, PA
North Fayette's split-level homes, the same 1989 wave that built the Pointe and Park Lane Office center, almost always come with an open-riser half-flight down to the garage, and that's one of the easiest stairlift jobs we do. Closer to Noblestown and Imperial, the older farmhouse staircases need a careful measure before we ever order the rail, so let's get that measurement scheduled first.

Stairlift Service Across Allegheny County
North Fayette Township spreads across rolling Allegheny County terrain about 15 miles west of Pittsburgh and 6 miles from the airport. Hankey Farms and Glen Gormley hold the township's older housing stock: ranches and split-levels from the 1960s with narrow staircases where a straight rail tucks tight against the wall. The Preserves and Pointe West offer newer patio homes and two-stories where stair geometry varies, and some need curved rails with a mid-landing turn. Fayette Farms is an active-adult ranch community with single-level living, though basement stairs still call for lifts. Blackstone and Bright Oaks round out the newer developments, many with open foyers that make for a clean 3-hour straight-rail install.

Hear It From Your North Fayette Neighbors
How stairlift projects tend to go for homeowners in North Fayette. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.
Luis measured our stairs in Hankey Farms on a Tuesday and had the straight lift in by Friday. My husband has Parkinson's and hadn't been upstairs in eight months. The rail tucks so tight against the wall you barely notice it. Three hours, no mess, and he showed me exactly how to use the battery backup in case the power goes out during a snowstorm.
We moved into a new Ryan home in Blackstone and needed a curved rail for the foyer stairs because the turn at the landing made a straight lift impossible. Luis did the laser measurement in under an hour, the custom rail arrived in 18 days, and the install took one morning. My mother-in-law moved in with us and she uses it six times a day.
Got an outdoor lift for the porch steps at our patio home in The Preserves. I was worried about snow and ice, but the IP55 weather sealing has held up through two Pittsburgh winters now. The rail still looks new. Luis even called in December to remind me to check the safety edges before the first big freeze.
My dad is a Navy vet and Luis handled the HISA grant paperwork from start to finish. We got the full $6,800 approved through the Heinz VA. The straight lift went into his Pointe West two-story: basement-to-kitchen stairs, 13 treads. He was using it the same afternoon. Luis even followed up with the VA coordinator to confirm the claim closed.
Our 1964 split-level in Glen Gormley has the narrowest staircase: 29 inches wide. I didn't think a stairlift would fit. Luis measured it, said 'no problem,' and installed a slim-rail Bruno straight lift the next week. The seat folds up to 11 inches deep so my wife can still walk past it. Life-changing for a house we've owned for 40 years.
My sister uses a wheelchair and we needed a platform lift for the stairs from the garage into the house. Luis put in an inclined platform lift: black deck, yellow safety edges, flat surface for the chair. The install was more involved than a seat lift, but still done in a day. She can get from the car to the kitchen without anyone lifting her now.

Everything North Fayette 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 stairlift cost for a typical North Fayette home?
Most of the township's housing dates to the 2000 building boom, and a lot of it is split-level construction with a shorter interior flight to the bedrooms and a separate run down to the garage or basement. A straight rail on one of those shorter flights sits toward the lower end of what a stairlift runs; if the layout needs a curved rail for a landing or a turn, the price climbs because the rail is custom-bent to that specific staircase.
Do the older homes near Noblestown or Imperial cost more to fit than newer construction?
Sometimes, yes. The farmhouse-era homes closer to Settler's Cabin Park tend to have narrower, steeper staircases that are more likely to need a curved rail than the newer split-levels near the Pointe at North Fayette commercial area. We won't know which category a specific house falls into until someone measures the actual stairs, it's not something you can price off the housing stock alone.
How long does a stairlift install take in North Fayette?
A straight rail on a single flight, common in the township's split-level homes, is usually done in a few hours, same day. A curved rail, which some of the older homes near Noblestown and Imperial need for a landing or angled run, takes longer up front because it has to be fabricated to that exact staircase before installation starts.
Can a stairlift go in on the narrow staircases near Settler's Cabin Park?
Yes. Narrower or steeper stairs, more common in the older housing stock near the park and the Walker-Ewing-Glass Log House area, usually just mean a curved rail rather than a straight one. The rail attaches to the treads, not the wall, so tight stairwells aren't a barrier; they just change which rail configuration we order.
Does North Fayette's size and layout, 25.19 square miles across Enlow, Imperial, Noblestown, and Sturgeon, affect scheduling?
Not really. The township sits right off Route 22, Route 30, and I-376, so getting to any of the four communities for a measurement or install visit isn't the issue. Scheduling depends more on whether the job is a straight rail we can install quickly or a curved rail that needs custom fabrication first.
Does Pennsylvania Medicaid cover a stairlift for North Fayette residents?
Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices (CHC) waiver can cover a stairlift as a home adaptation, but there's no fixed published cap; it's approved case-by-case against your Person-Centered Service Plan through your CHC managed care organization. Locally, start with Allegheny County SeniorLine at (412) 350-5460 to get the enrollment process moving.
What if I don't qualify for Medicaid, is there other help?
The state's OPTIONS Program, run through the Allegheny County Area Agency on Aging, offers home modifications as a supplemental service with a sliding-scale co-pay based on income; there's no income cutoff to apply, just to determine the co-pay. Same SeniorLine number, (412) 350-5460, handles intake. Separately, the PA Assistive Technology Foundation offers 0% mini-loans from $100 to $7,000 and low-interest loans (3.75%) up to $60,000 with no income limit at all, which covers a stairlift outright for households that don't want to wait on a waiver determination.
Is there help specifically for veterans or low-income homeowners in North Fayette?
Veterans have two VA paths: the Specially Adapted Housing grant, up to $126,526 for FY 2026, and the Special Home Adaptation grant, up to $25,350, both through 1-800-827-1000. For non-veterans with limited income, Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh does free accessibility modifications for qualifying homeowners at (412) 247-2700, and Three Rivers Center for Independent Living at (412) 371-6954 can help coordinate equipment and Medicaid waiver services if your situation is more complicated than a single program covers.

I get a fair number of calls out along Route 22 and Route 30, and the pattern in North Fayette repeats itself: split-levels from the same building wave that put in the Pointe at North Fayette and the Park Lane Office center back in '89, with a half-flight of open-riser stairs down to the garage. Those open-riser runs are honestly one of the easier jobs I do, since there's no closed stringer to fight with. The tougher measuring happens closer to Noblestown and Imperial, where some of the older farmhouse-era homes near Settler's Cabin Park have narrower, steeper staircases that need more care before the rail ever gets ordered.
Ready to get started? It's simple.
Stairlift decisions in North Fayette usually start after a fall or a close call: a parent who can't manage the basement steps to the laundry, or a spouse who stopped using the upstairs bedroom. The good news is most homes here take a straight rail, installed in about 3 hours, starting at $2,800. If you are in Hankey Farms or Fayette Farms, Luis can usually be at your door for a no-cost assessment within two days.
For veterans, the HISA grant covers up to $6,800 through the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System, whose H.J. Heinz III campus on Delafield Road processes the approval. For seniors on Pennsylvania's Aging Waiver, home modifications are covered with a state review above $6,000. Call or fill out the form above, and Luis will walk you through the options for your specific street and stair layout.
