Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Barron County

Barron County, WI

We install throughout Rice Lake and the surrounding Barron County communities. The Lakeshore Drive cottages along Rice Lake are often the narrowest jobs — many were converted from summer places and have steep, tight flights. Homes near Main Street and the Third Ward tend to date before 1940, with treads as narrow as 28 inches that suit a folding perch seat. Newer builds around Moon Lake Park and Hammond Avenue have wider, modern staircases. We also serve Augusta Street, Randall Park, and Knapp Street, plus nearby Cameron, Chetek, Barron, and Shell Lake.

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

Luis came out to our place on Lakeshore Drive — a 1918 cottage we converted to year-round about 12 years ago. The staircase is steep and narrow, and my mother had stopped going upstairs entirely. He measured everything in 40 minutes and recommended a straight rail with a perch seat to save width. The install was done two days later. My mother cried the first time she got back up to her bedroom.

We have a 1950s ranch off Randall Park with a tight straight staircase to the basement. I wasn't sure a stairlift would even fit. Luis measured it at 30 inches and said no problem. The rail went in in three hours, tucks right against the wall, and the seat folds up to about a foot. My wife uses it every day for the laundry room downstairs.

My father is a Vietnam veteran and gets his primary care at the Rice Lake VA Clinic on South Access Road. His VA doctor wrote the HISA medical-necessity letter and Luis helped us submit the application. The grant covered the full $6,800, and we had a straight stairlift installed in our Third Ward home within two weeks of approval. Smoother than I expected.

We built near Moon Lake Park about six years ago and the deck stairs to the backyard were getting hard for my mother-in-law. Luis installed an outdoor unit in late October, right before the first snow. The rail is aluminum, the seat cover is heavy vinyl, and it's worked through sub-zero mornings without a hitch. We just fold the seat up when it isn't in use.

Our home near Hammond Avenue has a curved staircase that turns 90 degrees at the upper landing. Two other companies told us a curved rail wouldn't fit. Luis looked at it for ten minutes and said it was a standard job. The custom rail came in about three weeks later and went in in roughly five hours. My husband uses it every single day now.

Our daughter uses a wheelchair full-time and we needed a platform lift for the staircase in our two-story off Augusta Street. Luis recommended the inclined platform model — flat black deck, yellow safety edges — and it carries her chair up with no transfers. She runs it herself with the remote. The install took about six hours and her independence around the house changed overnight.

Common Questions

Everything Rice Lake 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 in Rice Lake, WI?

A straight stairlift in Rice Lake starts at $2,800 installed. Curved rails run from $9,000 because they are custom-bent to your exact staircase after a laser measurement. Outdoor units start at $4,000 — IP55 weather-sealed for Wisconsin winters. Heavy-duty models rated to 600 lb start at $5,050. We give you a firm, all-in price at the free in-home assessment.

Why is there such a price difference between straight and curved stairlifts?

A straight rail is a pre-made section we cut to length on site — one piece, no bends. A curved rail is custom-fabricated from a laser scan of your exact staircase: every turn, every rise, every landing. That custom manufacturing and the longer installation are what push a curved stairlift to $9,000 and up in Rice Lake.

Are there extra fees for installation in Barron County?

No. Our quoted price includes the in-home assessment, delivery, installation, and a test ride — no travel fees anywhere in Barron County. We bolt the rail to your stair treads, so there is no drywall work, rewiring, or structural change to add cost.

How much does a heavy-duty stairlift cost in Rice Lake?

Our heavy-duty model, rated to 600 lb, starts at $5,050 installed. It uses a reinforced dual-tube rail and a wider 22-inch padded seat. If a standard 300 lb unit fits your needs, you stay at the $2,800 straight-rail price — we will tell you which one your staircase and rider actually need.

How long does stairlift installation take in Rice Lake?

Most straight-rail installs in Rice Lake take about 3 hours from arrival to test ride. Curved rails run closer to 5–6 hours because of the custom-fabricated sections. Outdoor units on porch or deck steps take 3–4 hours. We bolt the rail directly to the stair treads — no drywall work, no rewiring, no structural changes.

Can a stairlift be installed on narrow stairs in older Rice Lake homes?

Yes. Many Third Ward and Main Street homes built before 1940 have staircases as narrow as 28–30 inches. Our straight-rail seats fold to about 12 inches when not in use, so the stairway stays passable. For stairs under 28 inches, we may recommend a perch seat, which takes even less room.

Will the install damage my hardwood floors or walls?

No. The rail mounts to the stair treads with five bolts per section — it never touches the wall or the floor. We do not cut into drywall or refinish anything. If you ever remove the lift, the bolt holes in the treads fill with wood putty in under an hour.

Do you install outdoor stairlifts that survive Wisconsin winters?

We do. Our outdoor units are IP55-rated — sealed against rain, snow, and ice — with a rust-resistant aluminum rail and a waterproof vinyl seat cover. We have installed them on lakefront homes off Lakeshore Drive and on deck stairs near Moon Lake Park. They hold up through sub-zero mornings and freeze-thaw cycles.

Does insurance or Medicaid cover stairlifts in Barron County?

Private health insurance and Medicare Parts A and B rarely cover stairlifts. Wisconsin's IRIS (Include, Respect, I Self-Direct) Medicaid program can fund stairlifts as environmental accessibility adaptations for eligible participants who need a nursing-home level of care but want to stay home. The ADRC of Barron and Rusk Counties is the local starting point for IRIS or Family Care enrollment.

How does the VA HISA grant work for Barron County veterans?

The VA Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant is a one-time, tax-free benefit — up to $6,800 for veterans with a service-connected disability and $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans. You need a medical-necessity letter from a VA provider. The Rice Lake VA Clinic at 320 South Access Road (Minneapolis VA Health Care System) handles primary care for local veterans and can initiate the HISA process.

What Wisconsin programs help with stairlift costs?

Wisconsin's IRIS program is a Medicaid-funded, self-directed long-term care program that lets participants put their budget toward accessibility adaptations, including stairlifts. Family Care and Family Care Partnership also cover home modifications. WisTech, the state assistive-technology program, offers low-interest loans for accessibility equipment statewide.

What financing options are available for Rice Lake buyers?

We offer financing starting at $79/month for qualified buyers, with terms from 12 to 60 months and no prepayment penalty. The application takes about 10 minutes and you get a decision before the assessment is over. Many Rice Lake residents combine financing with a HISA grant or IRIS allocation to cover the balance.

A word from Luis

I have measured staircases in nearly every part of Rice Lake — the steep, narrow flights in the turn-of-the-century houses near Main Street and the Third Ward, and the wider, modern runs in the newer builds out by Moon Lake Park. Each one needs a different rail.
The older lakeshore cottages off Lakeshore Drive are usually the tightest. I often spec a perch seat there so the stairway still clears for the rest of the family. I will tell you honestly on the first visit whether a straight or curved rail fits — and what it will cost — before you commit to anything.
