Expert Stairlift Installation in Port Wentworth, GA

A straight stairlift takes about three hours from arrival to cleanup. Curved lifts take five to six hours because the custom rail needs careful alignment on each bend. Outdoor units take roughly four hours, including weather-sealing all connections. Luis handles the entire install himself — no subcontractors, no crew you don't know.

No. The rail bolts directly to the stair treads, not the wall, so drywall stays intact. On hardwood treads — common in newer Rice Creek and Willow Glen homes — the bolt holes are small and can be filled if you ever remove the lift. On carpeted stairs like those in Rice Hope, the bolts go through the carpet without tearing it.

Yes. Many Crossgate and Old Town homes have staircases as narrow as 32 to 34 inches. We use a Slimline rail that folds to about 12 inches when not in use, leaving plenty of room for other family members. The seat, armrests, and footrest all fold up compactly against the rail.

They do. Our outdoor lifts are IP55-rated with marine-grade wiring — built for river humidity, heavy annual rain, and hurricane-season power flickers. The battery backup runs the lift for hours after a power cut, and the seat and rail are treated against salt-air corrosion off the tidal Savannah River.

Yes, through the HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) grant. Service-connected veterans can receive up to $6,800 toward a stairlift — one-time, tax-free, never repaid. Non-service-connected veterans with a 50% or higher disability rating can receive up to $2,000. The Savannah VA Clinic at 1170 Shawnee Street can provide the required medical-necessity prescription. Luis has helped dozens of Port Wentworth veterans through the HISA paperwork — call (800) 965-0350.

Yes. The Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program (EDWP) covers home modifications — including stairlifts — for adults 65 and older and adults with disabilities who meet nursing-home level-of-care criteria. EDWP has a $10,000 lifetime cap on home modifications. For adults ages 21 to 64 with severe physical disabilities, the Independent Care Waiver Program (ICWP) can also cover stairlifts. Both involve an assessment and may have a waiting list.

Financing starts at $79 a month with approved credit and there's no prepayment penalty. We also work with the VA HISA grant — up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans — and Georgia's EDWP waiver for Medicaid-eligible residents. Luis walks you through every option during the free in-home assessment so you know what you'll actually pay before anything is ordered.

Yes. Georgia's Home Access Program (HAP) provides funding for home retrofitting for low-income individuals with disabilities, covering ramps, stairlifts, bathroom modifications, and widened doorways. Eligibility is based on income and disability status. Luis can point Chatham County residents to the right application during the free assessment.
