Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Brunswick County

Brunswick County, NC

Sunset Beach stairlift installs span the island's stilted beach cottages off 40th Street and the mainland golf communities along Highway 179. On the barrier island, reverse floor plans put the main living area a full flight above the garage — straight rails handle those 13- to 15-step climbs. In Sea Trail Plantation, two-story homes and single-level ranch layouts both appear, while Sandpiper Bay condos and townhomes cluster around the golf course. Colony I and II condos sit between the island shore and Calabash, and The Regency rises five stories on the Intracoastal Waterway. Village Park and Waterway round out the mainland with traditional single-family builds. We cover all of it — island and mainland — same crew, same warranty.

When my wife couldn't manage the stairs in our Sea Trail home, Luis came out the next day. He measured, explained the options without pushing, and had a straight lift installed three days later. The rail matches our oak treads. Four months in, zero issues. My wife gets to her craft room every morning now.

We put off a stairlift for two years because we thought it would ruin the look of our condo. Luis showed us the slim rail in beige — you barely notice it against our tile stairs. Install took one morning. The seat folds up when not in use. Should have done this years ago.

Our Sandpiper Bay townhome has carpeted stairs and my knees were done. Luis and his crew worked clean — not a mark on the carpet. They explained the battery backup, showed me how the remote works, and were gone in three hours. Cheaper than moving to a single-level, that is for certain.

Living on the island means salt air eats everything, so I was worried about an outdoor lift rusting. Luis spec'd the marine-grade hardware — it has been through two hurricane seasons now and runs smooth. My mother-in-law can visit again. That alone was worth the cost.

Five-story condo building, curved staircase with a view of the ICW. The curved rail Luis measured fits the turn perfectly. Parks at the top landing behind the half-wall — guests do not even see it. Installation was clean, quiet, four hours. Building management had no complaints at all.

Straight stairs, nothing fancy, but I needed it fast after my hip surgery. Luis had it installed in three days from the first phone call. The seat swivels at the top landing so I step onto solid floor every time. Battery backup runs the lift through every storm outage we have had since.

Common Questions

Everything Sunset Beach 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 Sunset Beach?

A straight stairlift in Sunset Beach starts at $2,800 installed. Curved lifts, custom-bent to match turns like those in Regency condos and Sea Trail two-story homes, run from $9,000. Outdoor lifts for island stilt houses start at $4,000 — we use marine-grade hardware for the salt-air environment. Heavy-duty models rated for 600 lb start at $5,050. Our free in-home assessment gives you a fixed price before any commitment.

Are there hidden fees with Sunset Beach stairlift installation?

No. Our price covers the rail, carriage, seat, installation labor, and the first year of service calls. We do not charge travel fees to Sunset Beach — mainland or island. Battery backup is standard on every lift. The only add-on would be an outdoor weather cover or upgraded upholstery, and those are priced clearly at the assessment before you decide.

Is an outdoor stairlift for a Sunset Beach stilt house more expensive than an indoor one?

Outdoor lifts start at $4,000 versus $2,800 for an indoor straight model. The outdoor unit has an IP55 weather-sealed motor, marine-grade bolts and brackets, and a waterproof seat cover. For stilt houses where the main living floor is a full flight above the ground-level parking, they are the single best investment — it means not climbing outdoor stairs in January wind or August heat.

How does the cost of a stairlift compare to moving to a single-level home in Sunset Beach?

A straight lift at $2,800 equals about one mortgage payment on a median Sunset Beach home. Moving off the island or out of Sea Trail means closing costs, moving expenses, and likely a higher purchase price. Most of our clients keep the home they chose — the view, the neighborhood, the proximity to Bird Island — and add the lift.

How long does a stairlift installation take in Sunset Beach?

Most straight stairlift installs take three hours. Curved lifts take about four hours, since the rail was already custom-bent at the shop after the laser-measure appointment. Outdoor lifts on stilt-house stairways run about three to four hours. We schedule most Sunset Beach installs in the same week as the free assessment.

Will installing a stairlift damage my hardwood or tile stairs?

No. The rail bolts directly to the stair treads, not the wall. We do not touch your drywall. For hardwood treads — common in Sea Trail ranch homes — and tile treads common in island condos, the bolt holes are small and get capped. When a lift is eventually removed, the treads show only capped holes with no structural damage.

Can a stairlift be installed on the narrow stairs in an older Sunset Beach beach cottage?

Yes. Older island cottages built before the 1990s sometimes have stairs as narrow as 30 inches. Our slim-line carriage fits 30-inch stair widths. The rail hugs the wall side, leaving the handrail exposed and the walking path clear. At the free assessment, Luis measures the exact width and rise to confirm fit before you commit to anything.

Do you need permits to install a stairlift in Sunset Beach or Brunswick County?

No permit is required for a stairlift installation in Brunswick County or within the Town of Sunset Beach. Stairlifts are classified as accessibility equipment, not structural modifications. The install is bolt-to-treads only — no electrical rewiring, no wall modifications. We handle everything; you do not file anything with the town.

Does the VA cover stairlift costs for veterans in Sunset Beach?

Yes. The VA's HISA grant provides up to $6,800 for veterans with service-connected disabilities, or $2,000 for non-service-connected conditions. It is a one-time, tax-free benefit that never has to be repaid. The nearest VA clinic is the Brunswick County VA Clinic at 18 Doctors Circle in Supply, about a 20-minute drive from Sunset Beach. For additional services, the Myrtle Beach VA Outpatient Clinic at 1800 Airpark Drive is about 25 minutes south.

Does North Carolina Medicaid cover stairlifts through the CAP/DA waiver?

Yes. North Carolina's CAP/DA (Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults) is a 1915(c) HCBS waiver that covers home modifications including stairlifts for Medicaid beneficiaries at risk of nursing home placement. The waiver renewal approved in January 2025 increased the budget limits for home modification services. To apply, contact your CAP/DA care manager or Brunswick County Social Services at 910-253-2077.

Are there any North Carolina state grants for stairlifts outside of Medicaid?

The North Carolina Assistive Technology Program (NCATP) helps connect residents with funding sources for mobility equipment including stairlifts — they provide device demonstrations and funding referrals rather than direct grants. For very-low-income homeowners age 62 and older, the USDA Section 504 Home Repair program offers grants of up to $10,000 to remove health and safety hazards, which includes stairlift installation. Parts of mainland Sunset Beach fall within USDA rural eligibility zones.

Can I finance a stairlift in Sunset Beach?

Yes. Monthly payments start at $79 through our financing partner, with no prepayment penalty. Most approvals come through within 24 hours. Combined with a HISA grant — which covers the purchase directly — many veterans pay nothing out of pocket for a straight lift. We go over all the numbers at the free assessment before any paperwork is signed.

A word from Luis

I've installed stairlifts in Sunset Beach since the old pontoon bridge was still swinging open for boats. The island stilt houses are their own challenge — outdoor lifts exposed to salt spray year-round, steep narrow staircases in the older cottages. But I know every layout. Sea Trail ranch homes are simple straight rails. The Regency condos need curved rails around that half-wall landing. And I've put outdoor lifts on enough 40th Street stilt houses to know exactly which marine-grade hardware holds up through hurricane season. Three hours, most jobs. You keep the view, keep the home, and never worry about those stairs again.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Sunset Beach runs on stilt houses, golf community ranch homes, and Intracoastal Waterway condos — and stairs come with all of them. From the island cottages west of 40th Street to Sea Trail Plantation's two-story layouts, a stairlift keeps you in the home you chose for the sunrise over the marsh, not the stair count.
