Expert Stairlift Installation in Tipp City, OH

A straight stairlift install takes about 3 hours from arrival to the final test ride. Curved stairlifts take 5 to 6 hours because the rail is custom-bent off a laser measurement taken during the assessment. Outdoor lifts on porch steps typically run about 4 hours — longer if anchoring into stone or brick. Most installs happen the same week after quote approval.

Yes. The Old Tippecanoe Main Street Historic District is full of Italianates with 36-inch staircases and quarter-turn landings. The compact rail profile tucks tight against the wall and the seat folds to 14 inches when unused. The curved rail is measured on site with a laser to match the exact turn radius.

No. The rail mounts to the stair treads with lag bolts — not the wall, not the trim. On the oak and hardwood treads common in the Carriage Trails area and older Tipp City homes, the bolt holes are 3/8-inch and filled with a wood-toned plug that blends into the grain. If the lift is ever removed, the plugs come out and the holes are nearly invisible.

Yes — no subcontracting of service. Every lift installed in Tipp City comes with a 5-year parts-and-labor warranty plus lifetime coverage on the rail. If something goes wrong, Luis or a crew member comes to the house, usually within 48 hours, and common replacement parts are stocked locally.

Yes. The VA Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant covers up to $6,800 for veterans with a service-connected disability and $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans. It's a one-time, tax-free grant that's never repaid. The Dayton VA Medical Center at 4100 West Third Street processes HISA applications. You'll need a prescription from a VA physician stating the stairlift is medically necessary.

Yes. Ohio's PASSPORT Medicaid waiver covers home modifications — including stairlifts — up to about $15,000 per calendar year. The program helps Medicaid-eligible adults 60 and older stay in their homes instead of moving to a nursing facility. The Council on Aging of Southwestern Ohio administers PASSPORT locally. You must be Medicaid-enrolled and meet the clinical-need criteria.

Miami County's Community Housing Impact and Preservation Program (CHIP) provides home-repair assistance for owner-occupied homes and can cover accessibility modifications. The Miami Valley Community Action Partnership also runs an emergency home-repair program. Both are income-qualified with limited funds per fiscal year. Contact Miami County Community Development at (937) 440-3471 for current availability.

We also accept check, credit card, and ACH transfer. About half of local customers combine financing with a HISA grant or the PASSPORT waiver to lower the monthly payment.
