Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Washington County

Washington County, MN

The South Hill and North Hill historic districts hold 1850s–1900 Victorians — steep, narrow staircases, often with a mid-flight turn and original oak treads that call for a curved, laser-measured rail. Croixwood and Oak Glen, developed in the 1970s and 80s, mix wooded lots and golf-course homes with wider, code-standard straight stairs. Liberty on the Lake is a newer lakeside development where straight-rail installs dominate. Closer to Lily Lake you'll find 1920s cottages with stone-tread entries and 1940s ramblers. We've fitted lifts across every one of these — the brackets bolt to the treads, so original newel posts and plaster stay untouched.

Stories From Around Stillwater

Hear It From Your Stillwater Neighbors

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

My mom's house on South Hill was built in 1878 and the staircase turns twice in about ten feet. Three companies said it couldn't be done. Luis laser-measured it and the curved rail follows every turn perfectly. He never touched the original oak banister.

We put a straight lift in my dad's place in Oak Glen after his hip replacement. Luis was in and out in three hours, plugged it into a regular outlet, and ran it half a dozen times to show us. No mess, no drywall damage.

Our 1940s home near Lily Lake has stone-tread stairs that are uneven and narrow. Luis fitted a slim straight rail right to the treads. My husband uses it every day and it never catches or rattles.

The outdoor lift Luis installed on our bluff-side porch in Croixwood has been through a full Minnesota winter now. The heated seat and weather cover hold up to the snow and the river damp without a hitch.

Our son uses a wheelchair and the platform lift Luis put in our Liberty on the Lake home has been flawless. The yellow safety edges and auto-stop sensors give us real confidence, and he explained every control before he left.

Common Questions

Everything Stillwater 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 Stillwater, MN?

A straight stairlift starts at $2,800 installed. Curved lifts begin at $9,000 because the rail is custom-bent for your staircase. Outdoor lifts run from $4,000 and heavy-duty models from $5,050. Every quote includes the rail, seat, installation labor, delivery, and an in-home demo.

Why does a curved stairlift cost more for a Stillwater Victorian?

South Hill and North Hill staircases were built before 1900 with mid-flight turns, no two alike. A curved lift needs a rail bent to your exact treads after a laser measurement, so it starts at $9,000. Financing is available from $79/month with no prepayment penalty.

Are there any hidden fees in a Stillwater stairlift quote?

No. The price Luis gives you at the in-home assessment is the price you pay — rail, seat, labor, delivery, and demo are all included. The only optional cost is the $79/month financing plan if you choose to spread payments out.

Can I get a stairlift in Stillwater for under $3,000?

Yes. A straight stairlift starts at $2,800 installed, which covers most newer homes in Oak Glen, Croixwood, and Liberty on the Lake where the stairs are a standard straight run.

How long does a stairlift install take in Stillwater?

A straight rail in a newer Oak Glen or Liberty on the Lake home takes about three hours. A curved lift for a South Hill or North Hill Victorian runs most of the day. Outdoor installs add roughly an hour to seal the penetrations against snow and moisture.

Will installing a stairlift damage my historic Stillwater home?

No. The rail brackets bolt directly to the stair treads — never the wall, the plaster, or the original newel posts. The bolt holes are about the diameter of a pencil and can be filled and stained if the lift is ever removed.

How do you measure a curved staircase in a North Hill Victorian?

Luis brings a laser measurement rig that maps every tread, riser, and turn in three dimensions. The mapping takes about an hour, and the data is used to bend a rail that follows your exact staircase, including 90° and 180° turns.

Can a stairlift fit the narrow stairs in a Stillwater historic home?

Yes. Many South Hill and Lily Lake staircases are under 30 inches wide. A slim-rail model with a folding seat tucks to about 14 inches, leaving room for others to pass. The rail mounts to the treads, so wall width isn't the limit.

How does the VA HISA grant work for Stillwater veterans?

Service-connected veterans can receive up to $6,800 toward a stairlift; non-service-connected veterans up to $2,000. It's a one-time, tax-free grant that never has to be repaid. Apply through the Minneapolis VA Medical Center at One Veterans Drive or the Maplewood VA Clinic, with help from the Washington County Veterans Service Office.

Does Minnesota Medicaid cover stairlifts in Stillwater?

Yes, through the Minnesota Elderly Waiver (EW) under Environmental Accessibility Adaptations (EAA). The 2026 annual limit is about $21,722 (CPI-indexed, not a lifetime cap). You'll need a medical-necessity letter from your doctor, and there can be a waitlist for the program.

Are there other Minnesota programs that help pay for a stairlift?

Minnesota's Alternative Care (AC) program helps lower-income seniors with home modifications, and the disability waivers (CADI, CAC, BI, DD) also fund EAA services. The Minnesota Board on Aging routes residents to local Area Agency on Aging resources for additional help.

What financing options are available in Stillwater?

Financing starts at $79/month with no prepayment penalty. You can combine financing with a VA HISA grant ($6,800), Minnesota Elderly Waiver EAA funds (~$21,722/year), or long-term care insurance benefits to lower the out-of-pocket cost.

A word from Luis

Stillwater isn't like the suburbs we usually work in. The houses on South Hill and North Hill went up between the 1850s and 1900, and the staircases match — 28-inch treads, two turns in eight feet, original oak that's been settling since the lumber-baron days. You can't just drop a standard rail in there.
So I bring the laser rig out, map every tread and turn in three dimensions, and we bend a curved rail to fit that exact staircase. Out near Oak Glen and Liberty on the Lake the builds are newer and it's usually a clean straight run — three hours, tested, done. The older the house, the more it rewards someone who's measured a few hundred of them.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Stillwater is different from most places we install. The hillside Victorians on South Hill and North Hill have staircases that weren't built to any modern standard — 28-inch treads, two turns in eight feet, oak that's been settling for over a century. Those homes reward a measured, custom-bent rail rather than a one-size approach.

Whether it's a curved lift for a North Hill mansion or a straight run in a newer Oak Glen build, the assessment is free and there's no obligation. Call Luis at (800) 965-0350 and we'll map your staircase and give you one honest price.
