Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Johnston County

Johnston County, NC

We install across Johnston County. The North Smithfield Historic District holds Italianate and Queen Anne homes from the 1850s — many with narrow staircases that need custom curved rails. The Brooklyn Historic District, two blocks south of downtown, has 88 contributing buildings from 1870–1950 with tight landing turns. Brodie Rose Landing off Cleveland Road features mid-1980s split-levels on wooded lots. East River on Buffalo Road is newer Craftsman ranches with wider, straight staircases. Liberty Creek and Shiloh Woods are new-construction communities where straight lifts bolt to the treads in a single morning.

How jobs tend to go for Smithfield homeowners, where about 20% of residents are 65 or older. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.

My mother has lived in her Old Farm Acres ranch for 40 years — the stairs to the laundry room got to be too much. Luis came out on a Tuesday, measured, and had the straight lift in by Friday. He showed her how to use the swivel seat and remote, and made sure she felt comfortable before he left. Three months later, not a single hiccup, and she is back to doing her own laundry.

We built in Shiloh Woods last year — did not think we would need a stairlift for another decade, but my husband's knee surgery changed things fast. Luis installed a straight rail on our carpeted stairs in under three hours. The seat folds up when nobody is using it, so the stairs look normal. The battery backup already kicked in once during a thunderstorm.

Our 1930s Colonial Revival off Market Street has the steepest staircase I have ever seen. Two other companies said they could not do it. Luis measured with the laser, found a mounting path through the treads, and had a curved rail custom-bent. Three hours on install day. The lift hugs the wall — my father can finally sleep upstairs again.

We chose the Townes at Wilson's Ridge partly because all the bedrooms are upstairs — then my mother-in-law moved in. Luis put a straight lift on our stairwell, bolted to the treads, no wall anchors. The rail is white and practically disappears against the trim. She runs it three, four times a day. Best thing we did for this house.

Our community is all new construction, so our stairs are code-width — but still 14 steps up. Luis did the assessment on a Monday afternoon and installed Thursday morning. Brown seat, beige rail, matches the builder-grade carpet perfectly. He walked us through the battery backup and the remote controls before he left. No surprises.

We live off Durwood Stephenson Parkway near the Community Park. The outdoor front steps were getting dangerous for my wife — four stone steps, uneven. Luis installed an outdoor straight lift on the porch in one afternoon, IP55-rated for Johnston County weather. Cream seat, does not look institutional at all. She uses it every time she leaves the house now.

Common Questions

Everything Smithfield 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 Smithfield, NC?

A straight stairlift for a standard Smithfield staircase starts at $2,800 installed. That covers the rail, the motorized seat, two remotes, battery backup, and the roughly 3-hour install. Curved lifts start at $9,000 because the rail is custom-bent to your exact staircase, and outdoor lifts for porch steps start at $4,000.

Why are curved stairlifts more expensive in Smithfield?

Curved rails are not off-the-shelf; each one is fabricated to match your specific staircase geometry — and Smithfield's Brooklyn and North Smithfield historic homes turn at tight landings. The laser measurement takes about an hour. The rail is then bent at a fabrication facility and installed in a single 3- to 4-hour visit.

Does Medicare cover stairlift costs in Johnston County?

Medicare does not cover stairlifts — it treats them as home modifications rather than durable medical equipment. However, North Carolina's CAP/DA Medicaid waiver can cover home modifications including stairlifts for eligible seniors and adults with disabilities, and the VA HISA grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans.

What's the most affordable stairlift option in Smithfield?

A straight-rail, remanufactured stairlift is the lowest-cost option and runs less than a new straight lift, while still carrying a warranty. Financing starts at $79/month through our third-party partner. We also help Smithfield veterans apply for the VA HISA grant — up to $6,800 — at no charge.

How long does stairlift installation take in Smithfield?

A straight stairlift install takes about 3 hours from arrival to test-run. Curved lifts take 3 to 4 hours on install day — but note the curved rail requires a separate 1-hour laser measurement visit about two weeks prior, while the rail is fabricated. We test the lift with you before we leave.

Will installing a stairlift damage my historic Smithfield home?

No wall damage. The rail mounts to the stair treads with threaded bolts — not to the drywall or plaster — which matters in the Brooklyn and North Smithfield historic districts. When the lift is eventually removed, the bolt holes in the treads are easily filled and refinished, and the original banister stays untouched.

Do you install outdoor stairlifts at Smithfield homes?

Yes. Outdoor straight stairlifts start at $4,000 and are built with UV-resistant upholstery and IP55-rated weather sealing for Johnston County's humid summers and winter ice. We install on porch steps, entry stairs, concrete, and stone, and a weather cover keeps the seat dry between uses.

Can you install a stairlift if my Smithfield staircase is narrow?

Most of the time, yes — and Smithfield's older homes have plenty of narrow staircases. Standard straight lifts need about 28 inches of clear width. The seat and armrests fold up when not in use, leaving roughly 18 inches of passable stair for other family members. We confirm fit at the free assessment.

Does the VA HISA grant cover stairlifts for Smithfield veterans?

Yes. The VA Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant provides up to $6,800 for veterans with service-connected disabilities and up to $2,000 for non-service-connected conditions. Stairlifts are explicitly covered. The grant is one-time, tax-free, and never repaid. We help Smithfield veterans with the paperwork at no charge.

Can North Carolina Medicaid pay for a stairlift?

North Carolina's CAP/DA (Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults) Medicaid waiver can cover stairlifts as a home modification for eligible seniors and adults with disabilities. The waiver provides a combined budget for modifications, equipment, and technology — increased to up to $28,000 over the current waiver period — and the work must be approved in your plan of care first.

What VA facility handles HISA grants for Smithfield, NC?

Johnston County veterans are served by the Durham VA Health Care System. The Durham VA Medical Center at 508 Fulton Street, Durham, NC 27705 is the main campus. For closer primary care, the Clayton-East Raleigh VA Clinic at 11618 US-70 Business Hwy W in Clayton (about 12 miles from Smithfield) can write the medical-necessity prescription.

Are there any North Carolina state programs that help pay for stairlifts?

Beyond the CAP/DA waiver, the North Carolina Assistive Technology Program (NCATP) provides device demonstration and lending. Some Johnston County seniors also qualify for the USDA Rural Development home repair grant (Section 504) if they meet the very-low-income threshold and are 62 or older; that grant maxes at $10,000 for rural-eligible properties.

A word from Luis

Smithfield's what I call a three-era town. You've got the 1850s Victorians in North Smithfield with 32-inch staircases where only a curved rail works, the 1970s–80s split-levels out on Cleveland Road near Brodie Rose Landing, and the new builds in Liberty Creek where straight lifts go in before lunch.
Last month I put a curved rail into a 1910 Brooklyn District home on East Davis Street — fourteen feet of rail, two bends, three hours. The homeowner's daughter drove down from Raleigh; she'd been worrying about her mom on those stairs for a year. Now the lift parks at the top landing, out of the way, and the original banister stayed untouched. Don't wait for a fall to make the call.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Smithfield spans three building eras — 1850s Victorians in North Smithfield, 1980s split-levels near Brodie Rose Landing, and new builds in Liberty Creek — so no two staircases are alike. We bolt curved rails into Brooklyn District homes without touching the original banister, run outdoor lifts up porch steps on Buffalo Road, and drop straight lifts into new construction in a single morning. Every install is tread-mounted, so there is no drywall or plaster damage.

Call (800) 965-0350 for a free assessment. Luis will measure your stairs, explain the funding that fits — the VA HISA grant, North Carolina's CAP/DA waiver, or $79/month financing — and leave you with a firm quote. Most straight lifts go in within the week.
