Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Westchester County

Westchester County, NY

The Town of Somers spans several distinct communities, each with its own stairlift profile. Heritage Hills, a 55-plus community with 2,600 condo units on 1,100 acres, has many two-story units with internal staircases. Lincolndale and Shenorock are lake communities where older cottages have narrow, steep stairs — some built before modern width codes. Granite Springs sits along the Amawalk Reservoir with 1970s and 80s colonials. Amawalk and Purdys feature split-levels and ranches from the postwar building boom. Baldwin Place and Pines Bridge Manor offer newer construction with wider staircases. Somers Hamlet, the historic district along Route 202, has farmhouses dating to the 1920s — tight turns requiring custom measurement.

Hear It From Your Somers Neighbors

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

Luis came out to our Baldwin Place home on a Thursday and had the straight rail in by Friday afternoon. My father-in-law had been sleeping in the living room for six months because he couldn't climb the stairs to the guest bedroom. The rail bolts to the treads — didn't touch the walls. He was upstairs that same evening. I don't write reviews often but this one earned it.

We live in Pines Bridge Manor and have one of those 1990s colonials with a curved staircase that turns 180 degrees. Luis measured with a laser, showed us the rail path on his tablet, and had the curved unit installed in about five hours. My wife has MS and this changed her daily life — she can get to our bedroom now without me carrying her up. The rail is silent. Couldn't be happier.

Our Somers Hamlet home is a historic property — 1920s farmhouse with stairs that don't meet modern width codes. I was worried nobody could fit a lift. Luis walked the staircase during the assessment, took measurements, and called back the same day: straight rail, 14 feet, three hours. The crew was in and out before lunch. My wife uses the upstairs bath again. That's the whole story.

Moved into Wooded Acres three years ago, never thought I'd need a stairlift at 68. A hip replacement changed that fast. Luis installed a straight unit on our oak staircase — the rail color matches the treads so well you barely notice it. The battery backup gives me real relief during winter outages. Financing at $79 a month made the decision easy.

Our Lake Lincolndale cottage has the steepest stairs you've ever seen — built in the 1940s when codes were different. Luis put in a straight rail with an extra-long track to handle the pitch. The seat swivels at the top so my mom can step onto the landing safely. She's 81. This lift means she stays in the house she's lived in for 40 years instead of moving to assisted living.

Common Questions

Everything Somers 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 Somers, NY?

A straight stairlift in Somers starts at $2,800 installed. Curved units, which need custom rail fabrication after a laser measurement of your exact stair turn, start at $9,000. Outdoor stairlifts for exterior porch or entry stairs start at $4,000, with weather-sealed components rated for Westchester winters. Heavy-duty units supporting up to 600 lb start at $5,050. All prices include the in-home assessment, installation, and a 5-year warranty plus lifetime rail coverage.

Are there additional costs for curved stairs in older Somers homes?

Curved stairlifts cost more because each rail is bent to match your specific stair geometry — there's no off-the-shelf solution. In Somers, older lake cottages in Lincolndale and Shenorock and historic farmhouses in Somers Hamlet often have turns that don't match a standard radius. The $9,000 starting price includes the laser measurement visit, custom fabrication, and installation. Luis gives you a firm quote at the assessment — no surprises after the fact.

Is financing available for Somers residents?

Yes. Financing starts at $79 per month through our third-party partner. There's no prepayment penalty, and approval takes minutes during the in-home assessment. Many Somers families combine financing with grant programs — using a HISA grant or Access to Home for Heroes funding for the bulk and financing the remainder.

Does living in Heritage Hills or an HOA community affect the cost?

No. The stairlift bolts to your stair treads inside your unit, so it doesn't affect common areas or exterior appearance. Heritage Hills and other Somers HOA communities generally don't require approval for interior accessibility modifications under the Fair Housing Act. If your HOA has questions, we provide documentation showing the install is non-invasive — no wall drilling, no structural changes.

How long does stairlift installation take in a Somers home?

Most straight stairlift installs in Somers take about three hours from arrival to final test. Curved rail installations run longer — typically four to five hours — because the custom-fabricated rail needs precise alignment at each turn. Outdoor units take about four hours, including weather-sealing the mounting points. Platform lifts take four to five hours, mostly for the dedicated electrical circuit. Every install includes a full demo so you know every control before we leave.

Will a stairlift damage my hardwood stairs or walls in my Somers home?

No. The rail bolts directly to the stair treads, not the wall — your drywall and trim stay untouched. On hardwood, the mounting brackets sit on top of the tread with the bolt going through. On carpeted stairs, the bracket compresses the carpet fibers but leaves no permanent mark if the lift is ever removed. For tile or stone treads, we use a masonry bit and stainless hardware. Nothing attaches to the wall or the handrail.

Can you install on the narrow stairs found in older Somers lake cottages?

Yes. The narrowest staircase we can fit has a 28-inch clear width — and most Somers lake cottages in Lincolndale and Shenorock measure 30 to 32 inches. The seat folds up when not in use, leaving about 18 inches of passable width for other family members. For stairs narrower than 28 inches, we look at alternate configurations — sometimes a platform lift at another entry point works better than forcing a stairlift onto an undersized staircase.

Do you pull permits for stairlift installation in Somers or Westchester County?

Stairlift installations in Somers don't require a building permit because they're classified as accessibility equipment, not a structural modification. The rail fastens to the treads with bolts — no electrical work is needed for standard units (they plug into a nearby wall outlet). For platform lifts that need a dedicated circuit, we use a licensed electrician who pulls any required electrical permit. In 15-plus years installing in Westchester County, standard stairlift permits have never been flagged.

Does the VA cover stairlift costs for veterans in Somers?

Yes, through the HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) grant. Veterans with service-connected disabilities can receive up to $6,800 — one-time, tax-free, never repaid. Veterans with non-service-connected disabilities can receive up to $2,000. The nearest VA facility is the Montrose Campus of VA Hudson Valley Health Care at 2094 Albany Post Road, about 13 miles from Somers. The White Plains VA Clinic at 23 South Broadway also handles HISA referrals. The Westchester County Veterans Service Agency at 10 County Center Road in White Plains (914-813-5145) can help with applications. You need a prescription from a VA physician stating the stairlift is medically necessary.

Can New York Medicaid help pay for a stairlift in Somers?

Yes — through the NHTD (Nursing Home Transition and Diversion) Waiver. This Medicaid waiver covers home modifications, including stairlifts, when they help someone avoid or leave a nursing facility. You must be Medicaid-eligible and assessed as needing nursing-home-level care. The waiver also covers assistive technology, personal care, and home-delivered meals. New York also offers the TBI Waiver for individuals with traumatic brain injuries — it covers similar home modifications. The Regional Resource Development Center for Westchester is the Westchester Independent Living Center (WILC) at 10 County Center Road in White Plains — call (914) 682-3926 to start the application.

What New York State programs help Somers seniors pay for stairlifts?

Two key programs: Access to Home provides financial assistance for accessibility modifications for low- and moderate-income individuals with disabilities. Access to Home for Heroes specifically serves veterans, offering up to $25,000 as a forgivable loan — the loan is forgiven after three years if the home remains owner-occupied. The RESTORE program (Residential Emergency Services to Offer Home Repairs to the Elderly) covers emergency repairs for seniors 60 and older, though funding availability varies by year. All three are administered by New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR).

Are there Westchester County-specific programs for home accessibility in Somers?

Westchester Residential Opportunities partners with Habitat for Humanity of Westchester on an Aging in Place home repair program for low-income seniors. This covers safety modifications including grab bars, ramps, and in some cases stairlifts. The Center for Aging in Place also connects Somers seniors with local resources. For veterans, the Westchester County Veterans Service Agency at 10 County Center Road in White Plains (914-813-5145) can help with HISA grant applications and navigating VA benefits. Your best first step is the free in-home assessment — Luis can tell you which programs fit your situation.

A word from Luis

I've installed lifts in just about every corner of Somers — from the 55-plus condos at Heritage Hills where a straight unit goes in during the morning, to a custom curved rail at a colonial off Primrose Street that same afternoon. What surprises most families is how little disruption it causes. We bolt the rail to the treads, not the wall, so your drywall stays untouched. Most installs wrap in three hours. The biggest thing I tell folks in the lake communities — Lincolndale, Shenorock, Lake Purdy — is that battery backup matters here. We get winter storms that knock out power, and a stairlift with a good battery keeps running for hours after the lights go out.
What I see in Somers that's different from points south is the housing stock. You've got 1980s colonials with wide staircases off I-684, but also older cottages around the lakes with steep, narrow stairs built before modern codes. A curved rail has to be measured with a laser on site — each turn at a different angle. But we fit them. Every time.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Somers isn't a one-size-fits-all town when it comes to stairs. You have Heritage Hills with 2,600 condos — many single-level but plenty with internal staircases. You have the lake communities like Lincolndale and Shenorock with older cottage-style homes where stairs run narrow and steep. And you have the colonials in subdivisions like Pines Bridge Manor and Wooded Acres, many built in the 1980s, with wide staircases that handle a straight rail easily. Whatever your staircase looks like, the install approach is the same: measure on site, bolt to the treads, test every cycle.

The funding side is also specific to New York. The NHTD Waiver through Medicaid covers home modifications if they keep someone out of a nursing facility. For veterans, the HISA grant provides up to $6,800 — one-time, tax-free, no repayment. And the Access to Home for Heroes program through New York State HCR offers up to $25,000 as a forgivable loan. Luis and the team can walk you through which program fits your situation at the free in-home assessment.
