Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Chatham County

Chatham County, GA

We cover all of The Landings on Skidaway Island, where raised lowcountry homes in Marshwood, Deer Creek, and Franklin Creek often place a half-flight between the entry and the main living level. Split-level plans in Midpoint and Oakridge turn at a landing, so curved rail is common, while patio homes near Plantation and Marshview work fine with compact straight rails. Beyond the gate we serve Isle of Hope, Wilmington Island, Whitemarsh Island, and Thunderbolt, where older waterfront builds and exterior stairs to docks call for marine-grade outdoor units.

Stories From Around Skidaway Island

Hear It From Your Skidaway Island Neighbors

The kinds of staircases and installs we see across Skidaway Island's older and newer homes alike. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.

Luis installed a straight stairlift in our Deer Creek home two months ago. My wife has arthritis in both knees and the flight up to the main level was becoming a real problem. He arrived at nine, finished by noon, and walked her through every control before he left. Clean work, no marks on the oak.

The curved rail Luis put in our Marshwood home is flawless. Our staircase turns ninety degrees at the landing and I worried it would look industrial. Instead the rail hugs the turn tight against the treads and you barely notice it from the living room. He measured once and the fit was perfect.

We needed an outdoor lift for the steps from the porch down toward our dock on Moon River. The salt air had already rusted out two sets of handrails, so I was skeptical. Luis put in a fully sealed IP55 unit with marine-grade fasteners and it has handled two hurricane seasons without a single fault.

My mother moved into our Franklin Creek home last fall after a hip fracture. The guest room is upstairs and she was sleeping on the sofa because she could not manage the stairs. Luis installed a straight rail in under three hours and she was up in her own bed that night. We could not be more grateful.

Platform lift install in our Midpoint home for my father, who uses a wheelchair full time. The black deck with the yellow safety edges looks professional and it carries him and his chair up the flight without a transfer. Luis coordinated the whole project and it was finished in a single day.

We chose the heavy-duty unit for our Oakridge home because my husband is a larger man and the standard seats felt too snug. The 600-pound-rated chair is wider without being bulky, and the rail bolted to the treads is rock solid with no flex at all. Luis took the time to set it up exactly right.

Common Questions

Everything Skidaway Island 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 on Skidaway Island?

Straight stairlifts start at $2,800 installed. Curved units start at $9,000 because the rail is custom-bent to your exact stair turn after a laser measurement. Outdoor lifts begin at $4,000 with full IP55 weather-sealing for coastal conditions, and heavy-duty models start at $5,050. Your written quote at the assessment covers the rail, carriage, labor, and demo.

Why do curved stairlifts cost more than straight ones at The Landings?

Curved rail is custom-fabricated to match your stair geometry. Many Marshwood and Midpoint homes turn at a landing, so the rail is laser-measured on site, bent at the factory, and installed by a two-person crew in about five hours. Straight rails come pre-cut for the simpler runs in Isle of Hope and install in a single three-hour visit, which keeps the price down.

Are there any hidden fees on Skidaway Island?

No. The quoted price covers the in-home assessment, the rail, the carriage, labor, and a hands-on demo after install. There is no travel fee anywhere on Skidaway Island or the surrounding islands. Permits are rare because stairlifts bolt to the treads rather than the walls. Financing is available from $79/month if you prefer to spread the cost.

How much is a platform lift for a wheelchair user on Skidaway Island?

An indoor inclined platform lift is more involved than a seated stairlift because it carries both the rider and the wheelchair, so plan for a higher figure than the $5,050 heavy-duty seated lift. The platform bolts to the treads, carries up to 600 lb, and installs in about five hours. We give you an exact written price at the free assessment once we measure your run.

How long does a stairlift installation take on Skidaway Island?

A straight stairlift installs in about three hours. We arrive, bolt the rail to the treads, mount the carriage, plug it into a standard wall outlet, test every function, and clean up. Curved units in Marshwood and Midpoint take closer to five hours because the custom rail needs precise alignment around the landing turn. Most jobs are done same-day.

Do I need a permit to install a stairlift in Chatham County?

Almost never. Stairlifts that bolt to the stair treads rather than the wall are treated as appliance installations under Georgia building codes and do not trigger structural-permit requirements in Chatham County. If your home is inside The Landings, the HOA generally classifies a stairlift as medical equipment and does not require architectural-review approval.

Will the install damage my hardwood stairs or walls?

No. The rail mounts entirely to the stair treads with lag bolts at each bracket, so the wall and drywall are never touched. When the rail is eventually removed, the bolt holes in the treads are dime-sized and can be filled with wood putty in under an hour, leaving your oak or heart-pine stairs intact.

Can you install a stairlift on narrow Skidaway Island stairs?

Yes. The narrowest stair width we work with is 28 inches between walls. The seat, armrests, and footrest all fold up when the lift is not in use, leaving roughly 18 inches of passable stair width for everyone else in the house. We confirm the fit at the free in-home assessment before you commit.

Does the VA cover stairlift costs for Skidaway Island veterans?

Yes, through the HISA grant. Veterans with a service-connected disability can receive up to $6,800 toward a stairlift; non-service-connected veterans qualify for up to $2,000. The Savannah VA Clinic at 1170 Shawnee Street (part of the Ralph H. Johnson VA Health Care System) handles HISA paperwork through its prosthetics department, and the Chatham County Veterans Service Office on Bull Street assists at no charge.

Does Georgia Medicaid help pay for a stairlift on Skidaway Island?

Yes, through the Community Care Services Program (CCSP) and the Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program (EDWP). These provide up to a $10,000 lifetime cap for home modifications including stairlifts and ramps. Applicants must be Medicaid-eligible and assessed as needing nursing-home-level care while choosing to remain at home. The Coastal Georgia Area Agency on Aging handles intake for Chatham County.

Does Medicare cover stairlift installation on Skidaway Island?

Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) does not cover stairlifts. CMS classifies them as durable medical equipment but does not deem them medically necessary, so they are excluded. Some Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans offer a home-modification or supplemental-benefit allowance, though coverage varies widely by plan, so check your specific plan's benefits before you assume help is available.

What financing options are available on Skidaway Island?

We offer financing from $79/month through lending partners, with 0% and low-APR plans depending on credit. Applications use a soft credit pull with instant approval and no prepayment penalty. Many island homeowners also deduct the cost as a medical expense on Schedule A with a physician's letter, if they itemize and clear the 7.5% adjusted-gross-income threshold.

A word from Luis

Skidaway Island homes are built for the marsh, and that shapes every install I do here. Inside The Landings, Marshwood and Deer Creek run to raised lowcountry floor plans with a half-flight to the main level, so I bend curved rail around those landing turns without touching a wall.
The salt air off the Wilmington River is the real enemy. Any lift I put on a porch, dock run, or exterior entry near Moon River goes in IP55-sealed with marine-grade stainless fasteners, because anything less corrodes in a season. I measure on site, hand you a written price before I leave, and there is no travel fee anywhere on the island.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Skidaway Island sits on a barrier island of salt marsh, tidal creeks, and maritime forest — beautiful ground that almost always comes with stairs. Whether you own a Deer Creek lagoon-front home with a flight to the living level or a Moon River build with exterior steps down to the dock, the right lift keeps every floor in reach.

Luis and the All American team work the island and the surrounding Savannah waterways every week. One call sets up a free in-home assessment — no pressure, no travel fee, and a written quote in your hand before we leave.
