How long does installation take in a Smithfield home?

Straight lifts take 3 to 4 hours. Curved installs run about half a day. Outdoor lifts take 3 to 4 hours plus weather-sealing time. We finish in one visit and clean up before we leave.

Will a stairlift damage the original woodwork in my historic Smithfield home?

No. The rail bolts to the stair treads, not to walls or banisters, so plaster and original trim in Georgiaville and Esmond mill houses stay intact. When the lift is removed, the bolt holes fill and stain to match.

Can you install on the narrow staircases common in Smithfield's older homes?

Yes. Our narrowest Smithfield install was 28 inches wide. The rail adds about 5 inches, and the seat folds to roughly 12 inches when not in use, leaving room to walk the stairs normally.

Do I need a permit to install a stairlift in Smithfield?

No. A stairlift is accessibility equipment under the Fair Housing Act, and the Town of Smithfield does not require a building permit. There's no wall cutting and no new electrical work — the lift plugs into a standard outlet.

Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Providence County

Providence County, RI

Smithfield spreads across six historic villages, and each one brings a different staircase problem. Greenville, the town center along Putnam Pike, is full of early-1900s colonials and Cape Cods with tight, steep stairwells. Georgiaville and Esmond are former mill villages — 19th-century worker duplexes on Homestead and Waterman Avenues with original oak treads and narrow runs. Stillwater and Mountaindale hold older farmhouses on larger rural lots, often with exterior entry steps. The newer Pheasant Run and Old County Village sections from the 1970s and 80s bring split-levels and townhouses with carpeted flights. Nearly every Smithfield home built before 1990 has a staircase under 36 inches wide, which is exactly what our rails are designed for.

Providence County Homeowners

Hear It From Your Smithfield Neighbors

How stairlift projects tend to go for homeowners in Smithfield. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.

I figured we'd need major construction. Luis came out, measured the turn at our landing, and said a curved rail would work without touching the walls. Three weeks later it was installed and my mother uses it every day.

Our townhouse has a straight flight from the garage up to the kitchen — an easy job. Luis showed up at 9 and was finished before noon. No mess, no drama, and he showed my husband how to use it twice before leaving.

I called three companies before All American. The other two pushed me toward a curved lift I didn't need. Luis measured and said a straight rail was fine, which saved us thousands. Honest people are hard to find.

We're in a 1960s ranch near Georgiaville Pond. My husband uses a walker and the four steps to the entry had become dangerous. The outdoor lift Luis installed is sealed tight and has held up through two Rhode Island winters already.

My mother lives alone in a small Cape in Stillwater. The stairs to the second floor were her biggest fear. Luis installed a straight lift on the original oak treads in an afternoon, and she calls it the best decision she's made.

We needed a platform lift for my father-in-law, who's in a wheelchair. Our Esmond house had a straight run to the kitchen level. The black deck with the yellow edges is solid, and he rolls right on and rides up himself 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.

How much does a stairlift cost in Smithfield, RI?

Straight stairlifts start at $2,800 installed, curved at $9,000, outdoor at $4,000, and heavy-duty at $5,050. Every price includes the in-home assessment, rail, seat, installation, a 5-year motor warranty, and a lifetime rail warranty.

What financing options are available for Smithfield residents?

Financing starts at $79/month with no prepayment penalty. The application takes about ten minutes, and most Smithfield homeowners get a same-day approval decision.

Does installation cost extra in Smithfield?

No. The quoted price includes installation, rail, seat, and warranty. There are no travel charges to any Smithfield village, no subcontractors, and no surprise line items.

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

Straight rails are cut from stock, so they install fast and start at $2,800. Curved rails are custom-fabricated after a laser measurement and bent at the factory to match your exact stairs, which is why they start at $9,000.

Does the VA HISA grant cover stairlifts for Smithfield veterans?

Yes. The HISA grant pays up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans and up to $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans. Apply through the Providence VA Medical Center at 830 Chalkstone Avenue. You'll need a prescription from a VA provider and our written quote.

What is the Rhode Island Livable Home Modification Grant?

It's a state grant, not a tax credit, that reimburses 50% of home-modification costs up to $4,500, and stairlifts qualify. Applications go to the Governor's Commission on Disabilities. Income is based on the person with the disability, not the whole household.

Does Rhode Island Medicaid cover stairlift costs?

Rhode Island Medicaid's Long-Term Services and Supports program can cover a stairlift when it's medically necessary. Coverage is decided case-by-case through your managed-care plan, so a prescription and a documented need help your application.

Can I combine the VA HISA grant with the RI Livable Home Grant?

Yes. The HISA grant up to $6,800 can be stacked with the RI Livable Home Grant, which covers 50% of the remainder up to $4,500. On a $9,000 curved unit, combining both can bring a Smithfield veteran's out-of-pocket cost to under $2,000.

A word from Luis

Smithfield is a town of genuinely old homes. Some Georgiaville colonials date to the 1790s, with staircases barely 30 inches across — you can't widen those without taking down a structural wall, but a stairlift fits fine.
I bolt the rail to the treads, never the plaster or the banister, so the original woodwork in these mill-village houses stays untouched. When the lift comes out years later, the holes fill and stain over.
Every unit I install runs a DC motor with battery backup, so it keeps working through the ice storms and outages we get out here every winter.
