Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Caledonia County

Caledonia County, VT

We install across St. Johnsbury and Caledonia County. The Main Street Historic District and Railroad Street Victorians and foursquares have steep, narrow staircases that often need a custom-bent curved rail. Up on The Hill and along Summerville and Boynton Avenue, the older colonials usually take a straight rail bolted to the treads. The split-levels and ranches in St. Johnsbury Center, Mount Pleasant, and East St. Johnsbury are a good fit for both seat and platform lifts. We seal every outdoor unit for sub-zero cold, freeze-thaw, and mud season, and also serve nearby Lyndon and Danville.

Verified Customer Reviews

Hear It From Your St. Johnsbury Neighbors

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

My mother lives in a 1901 Victorian on Pearl Street — two steep flights and no bedroom on the first floor. Luis measured on a Tuesday and had the straight rail installed Thursday afternoon. Three hours, five bolts, and the oak treads match perfectly.

We have a colonial on Boynton Avenue with stone steps out front my husband couldn't manage anymore. Luis put in an IP55 outdoor lift in December before the first real snow. It has run through two Vermont winters and the battery backup handled a three-day outage.

Our Railroad Street foursquare has a 90-degree curved staircase at the landing, and we figured we'd have to move. Luis laser-measured it, and the custom curved rail he installed runs so quietly we can barely hear it from the next room.

Dad uses a wheelchair and couldn't reach the second floor. Luis installed a platform lift with a flat black deck, yellow safety edges, and simple controls. We had been carrying him up for two years before we finally called — I wish we had done it sooner.

My knees gave out this spring and our 1960s home up in Mount Pleasant has carpeted stairs. Luis assessed it in the morning and had the straight lift in and running the same afternoon. From the first phone call to my first ride was under six hours.

We have a compact 1910 home up on The Hill with a 32-inch-wide, tile-tread staircase. Luis fit a slimline rail and the seat folds under 13 inches so my husband can still carry the laundry past. Three and a half hours and my mother-in-law is using it daily.

Common Questions

Everything St. Johnsbury 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 straight stairlift cost in St. Johnsbury?

A straight stairlift in St. Johnsbury starts at $2,800 installed. That covers the rail, the seat, the DC motor with battery backup, and all labor. A typical St. Johnsbury Center home takes a 12–14 foot rail and about three hours to install. The price we quote at your free assessment is the price you pay.

How much is a curved stairlift for St. Johnsbury's older homes?

Curved stairlifts in St. Johnsbury start at $9,000 because the rail is custom-fabricated to your exact staircase. For the Main Street and Railroad Street Victorians, we laser-measure every tread. Measurement and fabrication take about three weeks; the install itself is a single day.

Does an outdoor stairlift cost more in Vermont's climate?

Outdoor stairlifts for St. Johnsbury homes start at $4,000. The higher price covers a weather-sealed motor housing, a powder-coated rail, and IP55-rated components that hold up to Northeast Kingdom winters, sub-zero cold, and freeze-thaw. We seal every exterior connection so the unit runs all winter.

Are there hidden fees or trip charges for St. Johnsbury?

No. Our St. Johnsbury assessments are free and there is no trip charge in our core Caledonia County service area, including The Hill, St. Johnsbury Center, and East St. Johnsbury. The quote we give you at the assessment is firm and includes the rail, seat, motor, battery backup, and labor.

How fast can you install a stairlift in St. Johnsbury after the assessment?

For straight stairlifts, we typically install within a week of your assessment. The install takes three to four hours for a standard straight run. Curved lifts take about three weeks from measurement to install, because the rail is custom-fabricated off-site to match your staircase.

Will the rail damage my historic St. Johnsbury home's woodwork?

No. We bolt the rail directly to the stair treads, never to the wall. In a Main Street or Railroad Street Victorian, the original plaster, lath, and woodwork stay completely untouched. Because the rail leaves no marks on the exterior, there is no historic-district design-review impact.

Can you install on the steep, narrow stairs in older St. Johnsbury homes?

Yes. Many of the Victorians on The Hill and downtown have staircases as narrow as 28 inches with steep risers. Our standard slimline stairlift fits stairs as narrow as 27 inches, and the seat folds up under 13 inches so others can still pass on the stairs.

Do I need a building permit for a stairlift in St. Johnsbury?

No. A stairlift is classified as an appliance, not a structural alteration, so no building permit is required in St. Johnsbury. The rail bolts to your treads and can be removed later with only small filled holes left behind. We handle the full install in a single visit on most straight runs.

Does the VA HISA grant cover stairlift installation in St. Johnsbury?

Yes. The VA Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant provides up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans and up to $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans. St. Johnsbury veterans apply through VA primary care at the Littleton VA Clinic or the White River Junction VA Medical Center (163 Veterans Drive). Call us at (800) 965-0350 for help with the paperwork.

Does Vermont Medicaid cover stairlifts in St. Johnsbury?

Yes, through the Choices for Care (CFC) program under Vermont Medicaid, which can cover home modifications like stairlifts for income-eligible older and disabled residents. A case manager through the local Area Agency on Aging assesses your home and determines eligibility, and if approved the program can cover much or all of the cost.

Are there any Vermont or local programs for stairlift funding?

Yes. The Vermont Center for Independent Living runs a home-access program that can fund stairlifts when they are the main way into a home, and the Vermont Assistive Technology Program offers low-interest loans. Because St. Johnsbury qualifies as rural, USDA Rural Development home-repair loans may also apply.

What financing options do you offer for St. Johnsbury stairlifts?

We offer financing starting at $79/month with approved credit through a third-party lender. There is no prepayment penalty, so you can pay the balance off early without extra cost. Many St. Johnsbury families combine financing with a VA grant or Choices for Care to lower out-of-pocket cost.

A word from Luis

St. Johnsbury homes are some of the oldest I work in. The Main Street and Railroad Street Victorians have steep, narrow staircases with tight landings, so I usually bolt the rail right to the treads — the original plaster and woodwork never get touched.
Up on The Hill and out in St. Johnsbury Center, the colonials and split-levels give me more room, but our Northeast Kingdom winters are brutal on porch steps. For those I spec an IP55-sealed outdoor unit that handles sub-zero cold, freeze-thaw, and the spring mud season. I will always tell you straight what your stairs actually need.
