Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Kent County

Kent County, DE

We cover Smyrna and the surrounding Kent County towns of Clayton, Cheswold, Townsend and Dover. The Smyrna Historic District — roughly 850 buildings, many 19th-century Victorians — has steep 30-inch oak staircases that suit a compact straight rail. Hickory Hollow split-levels and Willowwood homes from the 1970s have tile treads and tight turns by the front door. Heritage Trace new-construction colonials and Worthington homes often have a 90-degree turn at the upper landing — a fit for a custom curved rail. Village of Eastridge (a 55+ community) and Lake Como Woods tend toward wide straight stairs and basement runs. Outlying Brenford, Ashland and Centerville rounds out our service map. Every staircase gets a free on-site measurement.

Stories From Around Smyrna

Hear It From Your Smyrna Neighbors

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

Luis came to our Brenford split-level on a Tuesday morning and had the straight rail in by lunchtime. My mother had slept on the living-room couch for six weeks because she couldn't manage the stairs to her bedroom. She went up that afternoon and slept in her own bed for the first time since December.

We have a curved staircase with a 90-degree turn at the upper landing in our Worthington colonial — I was sure nothing would fit. Luis measured it with a laser for about an hour, and two weeks later the custom rail arrived bent exactly to our turn. It glides around the corner without a single bump.

Our 1970s Willowwood home has those classic narrow stairs with tile treads and a tight turn at the bottom by the front door. Two other companies took one look and said no. Luis measured the clearance and had a straight rail installed in under three hours.

We moved into Ashland two years ago and I put off the stairlift because I thought it would look medical in a brand-new home. The brown upholstered seat against our beige carpeted basement stairs is so discreet that visitors don't even notice it. Luis matched it perfectly.

We needed an outdoor lift for the porch steps and worried it wouldn't hold up to Delaware Bay humidity. It's been through a full winter of freeze-thaw and a humid summer now, and the cream-colored seat still looks brand new. The sealed cover does its job.

My brother uses a wheelchair full-time and hadn't been past our Centerville foyer in three years — the stairs to the main level might as well have been a wall. The platform lift Luis put in changed that. The whole family was in tears watching him reach the living room.

Common Questions

Everything Smyrna 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 Smyrna, Delaware?

A straight stairlift starts at $2,800 installed. Curved rails are custom-built and start at $9,000 because the rail is bent to your exact turns. Outdoor units start at $4,000 and heavy-duty (up to 600 lb) starts at $5,050. We give a firm price after a free in-home measurement in Smyrna — no surprises.

Why do curved stairlifts cost more in Smyrna?

A curved rail can't come off a shelf. We laser-measure your staircase — common in Historic District homes with mid-flight landings — and the factory fabricates a rail bent to match your exact turns. That custom work is why a curved lift starts at $9,000 versus $2,800 for a straight rail.

Is there a price difference for Smyrna versus nearby towns like Clayton or Dover?

No. Pricing is the same across Kent County whether you're in Smyrna, Clayton, Cheswold or Dover. What changes the price is your staircase — straight versus curved, indoor versus outdoor, standard versus heavy-duty — not your ZIP code. There's no travel charge anywhere in our service area.

Does Medicare cover stairlift costs in Delaware?

Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not pay for stairlifts. Some Medicare Advantage plans now offer a flex or in-home-supports benefit that may apply. Delaware veterans and Diamond State Health Plan-Plus members often have better options — see the funding tab for the VA HISA grant and Delaware Medicaid.

How long does installation take in a Smyrna home?

Most straight-rail installs in Smyrna take 3 to 4 hours from arrival to your first ride. Curved rails are measured on site, fabricated at the factory, then installed in about 4 to 5 hours once the rail arrives. We clean up fully and show everyone in the household how to use the lift before we leave.

Can you install on the narrow stairs in older Smyrna Historic District homes?

Yes. The seat, footrest and armrests fold up to about 12 inches when parked, leaving 20-plus inches of clearance for others on the stairs. We routinely fit lifts on the steep 30-inch oak staircases common in Smyrna's 19th-century Historic District Victorians.

Will a stairlift damage my Smyrna home's stairs or walls?

No. The rail bolts to the stair treads, not the wall, with a handful of small fasteners. If you remove the lift later, the bolt holes are smaller than a dime and patch easily — important in Historic District homes with original oak woodwork you want to protect.

What if my Smyrna home has a landing halfway up the stairs?

That's exactly what a curved rail is for. We laser-measure the full run — including the mid-stair landing — in about an hour, and the factory bends one continuous rail that carries you smoothly around the landing without a transfer. Common in older Historic District and Worthington homes.

How does the VA HISA grant work for Smyrna veterans?

The Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans and $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans toward a stairlift. It's one-time and tax-free. Smyrna veterans apply through the Kent County VA Clinic at 655 South Bay Road in Dover, about 14 miles south.

Does Delaware Medicaid cover stairlifts in Smyrna?

Delaware's Diamond State Health Plan-Plus (DSHP-Plus) can cover home modifications — including stairlifts — when deemed medically necessary as part of a long-term-care plan. A care manager arranges the assessment and approval. We supply the documentation your coordinator needs for a Smyrna install.

Are there Delaware state programs for seniors who need stairlift help in Smyrna?

Yes. The Delaware Division of Services for Aging and Adults with Physical Disabilities (DSAAPD) offers assistive-technology and home-modification assistance for residents 65 and older. We'll help you find out which Delaware programs you qualify for during the free in-home assessment.

What financing is available for a stairlift in Smyrna?

With approved credit you can finance from $79/month with no prepayment penalty and no balloon payment. Many Smyrna families pair financing with the VA HISA grant or Delaware Medicaid to bring the out-of-pocket cost down. We'll walk you through the total before you commit.

A word from Luis

I've installed stairlifts in 1870s Victorians on Commerce Street and brand-new colonials in Heritage Trace the same week. The housing stock in Smyrna runs the full range — 850 buildings in the Historic District alone, plus developments like Hickory Hollow, Lake Como Woods and Village of Eastridge that went up in the last 30 years.
That means every install is different. The old homes have steep, narrow oak staircases; the new builds often turn 90 degrees at the upper landing. What I tell families during the free assessment is simple: don't pre-decide what will or won't work. I've put straight rails on stairs other companies said were impossible.
