Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Montgomery County

Montgomery County, MD

We install throughout Takoma Park and the Montgomery County side of the DC line. In Old Takoma and the Takoma Park Historic District, 1880s–1920s Queen Annes have steep nine-inch risers and narrow treads that need a slimline rail. Hillwood Manor holds 1920s Craftsman bungalows, while Carroll Manor and the Sligo Creek corridor have pre-war Colonials. Takoma Junction and North Takoma mix mid-century and split-level layouts, and Long Branch near Flower Avenue runs to multi-family housing with tight landing turns. Every rail bolts to the treads, never the original balusters or plaster walls.

Hear It From Your Takoma Park Neighbors

What a stairlift project looks like for families in Takoma Park and nearby Montgomery County. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.

Luis installed a straight lift on our 1910 Victorian on Maple Avenue and you'd never know it touched the original balusters. The front hall still works the way it always has, and my husband rides up to bed on his own again.

The laser measurement took about an hour, and Luis showed us exactly where each bracket would land on our Takoma Junction switchback. The curved rail came in and fit on the first try. No drama, no mess.

My mother fell on our outdoor steps during the January 2026 ice storm. Luis put in a weather-sealed outdoor lift on our Carroll Manor porch, and it works every single time, even after a freeze.

I'm a Vietnam-era veteran and used the HISA grant for our stairlift here in Hillwood Manor. Luis knew the VA paperwork cold and walked me through every form. The grant covered nearly the whole cost.

The installers were done in three hours on our Sligo Creek Colonial and vacuumed the carpet when they finished. The brown seat matches our stair runner so well that guests don't even notice the lift.

Luis didn't upsell us. On our Long Branch place he said the straight rail was all we needed and $2,800 was the final price — no surprises on the invoice. Honest work, and my dad uses it every day.

Common Questions

Everything Takoma Park 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.

How much does a stairlift cost in Takoma Park?

A straight-rail stairlift starts at $2,800 installed. Curved lifts, custom-built for the switchbacks in Old Takoma's Victorians, start at $9,000. Outdoor lifts for porch steps start at $4,000, and heavy-duty bariatric models start at $5,050. Every price includes the free assessment, rail, seat, installation, and a 5-year warranty.

Why does a curved stairlift cost more in a Takoma Park Victorian?

Many Old Takoma and Historic District homes have a mid-flight turn or switchback at the landing. A curved rail has to be laser-measured and custom-bent off-site to match that exact geometry, which is why curved lifts start at $9,000 versus $2,800 for a straight rail on a simpler staircase.

Does the price change based on how many steps I have?

Not within a standard rail length. A straight staircase in a Hillwood Manor bungalow and one in a Sligo Creek Colonial cost the same when the rail length is similar. Price only rises for a curved rail, an unusually long run, or an outdoor weatherproof install.

Is financing available for a Takoma Park stairlift?

Yes. We offer financing from $79/month with instant approval and no prepayment penalty, including low-APR and 0% options for qualified buyers. Many Takoma Park families combine financing with the VA HISA grant or Maryland's Accessible Homes for Seniors program to lower the out-of-pocket cost.

How long does a stairlift install take in Takoma Park?

Most straight-rail installs take about 2.5 to 3.5 hours. Curved rails take longer — four to six hours — because the custom rail is fitted in sections. Outdoor porch lifts run about three hours. We schedule morning visits so the lift is working the same day.

Will a stairlift damage my historic Takoma Park home?

No. The rail bolts to the stair treads, never the walls or the original balusters, so the woodwork in your Queen Anne or Craftsman home stays intact. In fifteen years only two Takoma Park staircases were too narrow to fit a rail. Removal later leaves only small, fillable bolt holes.

Do I need a permit to install a stairlift in Montgomery County?

No. A stairlift is a non-invasive home modification that bolts to your existing treads with no wall cutting, rewiring, or structural change, so no building permit is required in Takoma Park or Montgomery County. The free assessment visit takes about 45 minutes.

Can a stairlift fit a narrow 1890s Victorian staircase?

Yes. Many homes in the Takoma Park Historic District have staircases just 29 inches wide with steep nine-inch risers. We use a slimline rail and a seat that folds to about 12 inches deep, so the lift parks flat against the wall and the staircase stays usable for the rest of the household.

Does Maryland Medicaid cover stairlifts in Takoma Park?

Maryland's Community Options Waiver can cover home modifications, including stairlifts, for residents 65+ or adults 18+ with a physical disability who meet nursing-home level of care. Coverage runs through your case manager and program plan. We help you document the medical need and start the request.

Will the VA pay for a stairlift for a Takoma Park veteran?

Yes. Service-connected veterans can receive up to $6,800 through the VA's HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) grant — a one-time, tax-free benefit with no repayment. The nearest facility is the Washington DC VA Medical Center at 50 Irving Street NW, just across the District line. Luis knows the HISA paperwork.

What is Maryland's Accessible Homes for Seniors program?

It's a state program through the Department of Housing and Community Development offering 0% deferred loans, or grants up to $25,000 for seniors who don't qualify for a loan, to fund accessibility work like stairlifts. Applicants must be 55+, own and occupy the home, and meet income limits. Apply through the Montgomery County housing office or Maryland Access Point.

Does Medicare cover a stairlift in Maryland?

No. Medicare Parts A and B classify stairlifts as home modifications, not durable medical equipment, so they don't cover them. Most Takoma Park families combine the VA HISA grant, the Community Options Waiver, Accessible Homes for Seniors, financing from $79/month, or an IRS medical-expense deduction (with a doctor's letter).

A word from Luis

Takoma Park is a town of old houses, and I love working in it. In the Historic District you've got 1890s Queen Annes with nine-inch risers and narrow treads. In Hillwood Manor it's 1920s Craftsman bungalows. Up toward Long Branch and Flower Avenue the housing turns to mid-century and multi-family, with tighter turns at the landings.
The constant is that I work around the original woodwork — nothing gets cut, nothing gets damaged. The rail bolts to the stair treads, not the balusters or the plaster walls. When the lift comes out years later, all that's left is a few fillable bolt holes. That's how you put a stairlift in a 130-year-old house and keep it a 130-year-old house.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Takoma Park's housing is overwhelmingly historic — Queen Anne Victorians in Old Takoma, Craftsman bungalows in Hillwood Manor, pre-war Colonials along Sligo Creek. A stairlift lets you keep the home you've lived in for decades instead of moving to a single-story rental or assisted living, and it goes in without cutting a single piece of original woodwork.

Call (800) 965-0350 for a free in-home assessment. Funding help is available through the VA HISA grant (Washington DC VA Medical Center, 50 Irving Street NW), Maryland's Community Options Waiver, and the state Accessible Homes for Seniors program, which offers up to $25,000 toward accessibility work.
