Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Lancaster County

Lancaster County, PA

We cover all of Rapho Township and its villages. The 1800s stone farmhouses around Mastersonville and Old Line have winding staircases as narrow as 32 inches, so we fit a custom curved rail to the slate or wood treads. Colonials in Union Square and Sporting Hill usually take a straight rail bolted right to oak treads. The ranches and newer builds near Naumanstown and the crossroads village of Newtown carry wider treads and standard rails. Because the rail fastens to the treads and not the walls, the original masonry and woodwork in these historic homes stay untouched. Nearby Manheim, Mount Joy and Elizabethtown are all part of our regular Lancaster County route.

Real stories from families across Lancaster County — drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below. Every review came from a verified customer.

We have a winding staircase with two turns in our Mastersonville farmhouse. Luis measured it in under an hour and the curved rail arrived the next week. It wraps both turns smooth as anything and didn't touch the old stonework.

Dad fell going upstairs and we needed something fast. Luis had a straight lift running by Friday afternoon, and the rail matches our oak treads so well you barely notice it. Honest, on time, no surprises on the bill.

After my wife's hip surgery we needed access to the second floor. The battery backup kicked in during a February ice storm when we lost power and she still got upstairs. Luis explained everything plainly.

Outdoor lift on our steep stone porch in Old Line — zero rust after 14 months through the freeze-thaw cycle. Luis sealed everything tight and it's run all year without a hiccup. Couldn't be happier with it.

Luis installed a platform lift for our wheelchair-using son in Newtown. The flat deck with the yellow safety edges feels solid, the four-hour install was tidy, and he reaches the lower level on his own now.

We're on a fixed income and were worried about cost. Luis walked us through the PHFA ACCESS program and the interest-free loan up to $10,000. The straight lift in our Naumanstown ranch went in clean in one morning.

Common Questions

Everything Rapho 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 Rapho Township?

Straight stairlifts in Rapho start at $2,800 installed for a standard-width staircase, with longer flights adding about $200 per extra foot of rail. The price covers the site visit, measurement, rail, seat, installation and a controls demo — there's no separate trip charge.

Why do curved stairlifts cost more for Rapho's stone farmhouses?

Curved lifts in Rapho start at $9,000 because the rail is custom-fabricated to your exact staircase after a laser measurement. The 1800s stone homes around Mastersonville and Old Line often have winder turns that need a single continuous curved rail, which costs more than a straight track but rides far smoother.

Are there hidden costs beyond the quoted price?

No. The Rapho quote includes the rail, seat, professional installation, labor, battery backup and a demo of the controls. There are no structural or drywall charges because the rail bolts to the stair treads, not to your walls.

How much is a heavy-duty stairlift?

Our heavy-duty model is rated to 600 lb and starts at $5,050 installed. It uses a reinforced dual-tube rail and a wider seat, and fits the same Rapho Township staircases a standard lift would, including wider ranch homes near Naumanstown.

How long does a stairlift install take in Rapho Township?

Most straight installs in Rapho take about 3 hours. Curved lifts run roughly 5 hours, outdoor lifts about 3 hours, and an indoor wheelchair platform lift takes 7–8 hours. The rail bolts to the treads, so there's no drywall repair afterward.

Can a stairlift fit the narrow stairs in Rapho's old stone homes?

Yes. Our Slimline rail fits treads as narrow as 30 inches and adds only about 11 inches of width. That covers the tight winder staircases common in the 1800s stone farmhouses around Mastersonville and Old Line, while leaving safe walking clearance.

Do I need a permit, and will it damage a historic home?

Almost never. Under PA building code a stairlift is treated as temporary accessibility equipment, not a structural alteration, so a residential install in Rapho typically needs no permit. The rail bolts to the treads, not the walls, so original woodwork and masonry stay untouched.

How do outdoor lifts hold up to Pennsylvania winters?

Our outdoor lifts carry an IP55 weather rating with sealed, corrosion-protected components built for repeated freeze-thaw cycles. We've had units on Rapho farmhouse porches go a full year through ice and snow with zero rust, running on a sealed battery backup.

Does the VA cover a stairlift for Rapho veterans?

Yes. The VA HISA grant pays up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans and $2,000 for non-service-connected, tax-free with no repayment. Rapho veterans are served by the Lebanon VA Medical Center at 1700 South Lincoln Avenue, Lebanon, about 15 miles north. We help with the HISA paperwork.

Will Pennsylvania Medicaid pay for a stairlift?

It can. Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices (CHC) program covers home modifications including stairlifts through its Home and Community-Based Services waiver for clinically eligible residents. A service coordinator handles the assessment and approval before installation.

Are there Pennsylvania grants or loans for Rapho homeowners?

Yes. The PHFA ACCESS Home Modification Program offers interest-free loans up to $10,000 with no monthly payment, and the Keystone Communities / PA Accessible Housing grant programs may also help. Both are state-administered and can be combined with the VA HISA grant.

Is there local help in Lancaster County?

Yes. The Lancaster County Office of Aging runs the OPTIONS program for residents 60 and older, which helps coordinate home-modification funding sources. They can connect Rapho seniors to CHC, PHFA ACCESS and veteran benefits. Financing is also available from $79/month.

A word from Luis

Rapho Township is a different kind of territory — forty-seven square miles of farmland and small crossroads villages between Manheim and Mount Joy. The newer colonials and split-levels go in easy, but the older stone farmhouses around Mastersonville and Old Line have staircases built 150 years ago, sometimes just 32 inches wide with a winder turn.
Those tight, historic flights are the jobs I like most. The rail bolts to the treads, never the masonry, so the original woodwork stays untouched. The result is the same either way: someone gets to stay in the home they've always loved.
