Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Olmsted County

Olmsted County, MN

From the Pill Hill Historic District — the National Register neighborhood on the limestone bluff where 1910s-1930s Colonial Revival, Tudor, and Craftsman homes line College View Road, Third Avenue SW, and Sixth Street — to Historic Southwest along Soldiers Field Veterans Memorial, where the 1920s foursquares and bungalows have the steep, narrow staircases that are the bread-and-butter of our straight-rail work, our team has measured in every corner of the city. We know which Kutzky Park bungalows have the original fir treads that need extra-wide brackets, which Bamber Valley and Northrop ranch splits from the 1970s require the curved rail with a swivel-exit at the upper hallway, and which Slatterly Park homes near Silver Lake sit low enough that the garage entry needs a weather-sealed outdoor unit rated for Minnesota winters.

Verified Customer Reviews

Hear It From Your Rochester Neighbors

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

The All American installer brought wide-flange brackets for old-growth oak treads, mounted the rail without touching a single spindle, and the chair folds so flat you barely notice it.

My mother had both hips replaced at Saint Marys and we needed the lift working before she came home. All American measured Tuesday and installed Thursday — two days.

Our 1972 split-level has the half-landing that every company said needed two separate lifts. All American built one curved rail with a swivel seat at the top.

I’m enrolled at the Rochester VA Clinic and All American prefilled VA Form 10-0103, walked the prescription through, and had the outdoor lift on my front steps before Thanksgiving.

My father uses a power wheelchair and we thought he’d move out of the Folwell house. All American installed an indoor platform lift — he slept in his own bedroom for the first time in eight months.

The 1928 bungalow has original fir treads — soft wood that splits if you use wrong brackets. The installer brought wide-flange mounts and my father went upstairs for the first time in five weeks.

Common Questions

Everything Rochester 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 Rochester right now?

Straight rails typically cost $2,800 to $5,500 installed in standard Rochester homes. Curved rails for homes with turns or multi-landings run $9,000 to $15,000 because the rail is custom-manufactured. Outdoor weather-sealed models cost $4,000 to $7,500. All quotes include installation, rail, seat, cold-pack battery backup, and the first service visit.

Do you charge more for Pill Hill or Historic Southwest homes?

Equipment pricing is uniform across Olmsted County regardless of neighborhood. Additional costs may apply only for unusual geometry, such as tight Tudor quarter-turns or uneven treads from historical settling. Every quote itemizes all charges.

Is there a price difference between a 1920s Pill Hill home and a 1980s Northrop subdivision?

Equipment and labor costs are identical. The difference is rail type. Pill Hill Tudor quarter-turns and Kutzky Park bungalows with steep, narrow staircases may require curved rails at $9,000 to $15,000 with 10-14 day fabrication. Standard post-1980 two-story homes in Northrop or Bamber Valley with straight runs install fastest and cost $2,800 to $5,500.

Do you offer refurbished or pre-owned stairlifts in Rochester?

Yes. Certified pre-owned straight-rail units start around $2,000 installed and include a 2-year warranty, new battery, and full safety inspection. Pre-owned curved rails are rarely available because each curved rail is custom-manufactured for a specific staircase. Ask during your home assessment whether a pre-owned unit fits your staircase dimensions.

How long does install day take in a typical Rochester home?

Straight rails require 2-4 hours on-site for measurement verification, rail mounting, safety sensor testing, and instruction. Curved rails need 1-2 weeks for fabrication but typically install in under 4 hours. No overnight work or multi-day disruption.

Will you damage the original oak banister in my Pill Hill home?

No. The rail bolts into the stair treads — it never touches your wall, your banister, your paint, or your century-old millwork. We have installed in dozens of Pill Hill and Kutzky Park historic homes without touching original spindles. If removed later, only small pilot holes in treads remain.

Do I need a permit for a stairlift install in Rochester?

Almost never. Minnesota State Building Code treats stairlifts as equipment, not structural modification. However, if a new dedicated electrical circuit is needed — common in pre-1940 Pill Hill and Kutzky Park homes — a Minnesota electrical permit is required, handled by a licensed sub-contractor.

My 1970s ranch in northwest Rochester has a landing halfway up. Can you do a single rail?

Yes. This is the most common curved-rail install in Rochester suburbs. A curved rail carries you from the foyer to the upper bedrooms in one continuous ride with a swivel-exit seat at the top — no transfers required. Fabrication takes 10-14 days, install day runs under 4 hours.

Does Minnesota’s Elderly Waiver cover stairlifts in Olmsted County?

Yes. Minnesota’s Elderly Waiver covers stairlifts under Environmental Accessibility Adaptations with a $20,000 lifetime cap — sufficient for most curved-rail installations. Eligibility requires age 65+, Medical Assistance qualification, and a MnCHOICES assessment. Contact the Senior LinkAge Line at 1-800-333-2433 to start intake.

I’m a veteran at the Rochester VA Clinic. What benefits apply?

The HISA grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected disabilities and up to $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans, paid directly to the company after a prescription from a VA provider. The Rochester VA Clinic is at 3551 Commercial Drive SW (507-252-0885). Larger SAH or SHA grants may cover more. Olmsted County Veteran Services can assist with state-level benefits.

What about the Minnesota Fix Up Fund?

The Minnesota Housing Fix Up Fund offers unsecured loans up to $25,000 or secured loans up to $75,000 for home improvements including accessibility modifications. Applicants must be Minnesota homeowners occupying a primary residence, meet income guidelines, and use a Minnesota-licensed contractor. Call Minnesota Housing at 651-296-7608.

Can I deduct this on my Minnesota taxes?

Yes, if a licensed physician recommends the stairlift in writing. The IRS classifies it as a qualified medical expense under Schedule A. Minnesota conforms to federal treatment on state returns. Itemizers can reduce taxable income by the full installation cost. We provide letter templates, and Mayo providers routinely write these recommendations.

A word from Luis

Most Rochester families call me after a winter fall — black ice on the front steps of a Pill Hill colonial, a slip on a hardwood staircase in Historic Southwest after a hip replacement at Mayo, a retired physician’s wife who hasn’t been upstairs in the Kutzky Park house since November because the treads are too steep.
