Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Chatham County

Chatham County, GA

We cover all of Tybee Island. In the Fort Screven Historic District and along Officers Row, 1890s-1920s homes keep original heart-pine treads, so we bolt slim straight rails to the treads and leave the woodwork untouched. The Strand Cottages between 12th and 14th have narrow stairwells that need a compact folding carriage. North Beach and Mid Beach mix raised cottages and ranches, while South Beach and the Back River side bring long exterior stair runs and salt mist that demand marine-grade equipment. Condo owners at Beachside Colony get tread-bolt mounts that meet HOA review without wall damage.

How jobs tend to go for Tybee Island homeowners, where about 47% of residents are 65 or older. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.

The rail is coated for salt air — you can tell it was built for the coast, not pulled off some catalog shelf. Luis put the exterior lift in on a Tuesday, and my father-in-law moved from the ground-level bedroom up to the room with the ocean view he had given up on two years ago.

Our 1901 home has two tight turns and original tin ceilings I did not want touched. Luis laser-measured the curved rail to match the radius exactly — no drywall damage and no wall-mounted brackets anywhere. It parks at the top out of the way, and the woodwork is just as we left it.

We get relentless salt mist off the marsh and I was sure it would rust. Fourteen months in and the marine-grade coating still shows no corrosion. It lifts sixteen exterior steps from the carport up to the main deck, and the battery backup has already carried us through two summer thunderstorms.

My wife has rheumatoid arthritis and those steep, narrow heart-pine stairs were becoming impossible for her. The slim curved rail hugs the inside radius so the historic stairwell still feels original. The five-hour install was tidy, and she uses it every single day now.

We needed a platform lift for my wheelchair-using husband, and I worried the condo board would balk. The tread-bolt design made the HOA approval simple — nothing drilled into shared walls. The whole process from first call to install was ten days, and he goes from the parking level to our condo on his own.

Friday assessment, Wednesday install — fast and no pressure. The beige seat blends right into the wall and looks far less clinical than the unit a national chain quoted us. With hurricane season here, the battery backup keeping it running through an outage is exactly what my mother needed.

Common Questions

Everything Tybee Island 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 on Tybee Island?

Straight indoor stairlifts start at $2,800. Curved lifts, custom-measured for turns and landings, start at $9,000. Outdoor units with marine-grade weatherproofing start at $4,000, and heavy-duty models rated to 600 lb start at $5,050. Every quote includes the rail, seat, battery backup, installation, and a 5-year warranty with a lifetime rail guarantee. You get a firm figure at the free in-home assessment with no travel fee to the island.

Why does an outdoor stairlift cost more than an indoor one on Tybee?

Outdoor units use marine-grade parts the salt air requires: zinc-rich powder-coated rail, an IP55-sealed motor housing, and a weather cover. That coastal package adds roughly $1,200 over a straight indoor lift. On a barrier island this close to the Atlantic it is not optional — unprotected metal corrodes within about two seasons, so the weatherproofing pays for itself in service life.

Are there senior or veteran discounts on Tybee Island?

We do not run senior discounts, but the VA HISA grant covers up to $6,800 for qualifying service-connected veterans, which can cover a full straight indoor unit. Non-service-connected veterans may receive up to $2,000. We handle the HISA paperwork with the Savannah VA Clinic at 1170 Shawnee Street. Financing is available from $79 per month for residents who do not qualify for a grant.

Does homeowners insurance cover a stairlift on Tybee?

Standard homeowners policies treat a stairlift as a home modification, not a covered repair, so routine claims do not apply. Storm-damage restoration could qualify under hurricane or windstorm coverage if a lift is damaged in a named storm. For most island families the real funding paths are Georgia's EDWP Medicaid waiver and, for veterans, the VA HISA grant.

How long does a stairlift install take on Tybee Island?

A straight install runs 3 to 4 hours. Curved units take 5 to 6 hours because the rail is custom-fabricated after a laser measurement on an earlier visit. Outdoor installs add about 30 minutes for sealing the salt-air brackets. We schedule Monday through Saturday, and most island appointments can be booked the same week.

Do I need a City of Tybee Island permit for a stairlift?

No building permit is required. A stairlift is accessibility equipment, not a structural change — the rail bolts to the treads and the system plugs into a standard 120V outlet. For condo communities like Beachside Colony we recommend HOA notification, and the Fair Housing Act covers reasonable-accommodation requests, which our tread-bolt mounting easily satisfies.

Can you install a lift on the steep exterior stairs of a raised beach house?

Yes — it is one of our most common Tybee jobs. Flood-code homes with one-foot freeboard elevation have long exterior runs from the carport to the main floor. We bolt a straight outdoor lift directly to the treads with a marine-grade rail and a weather-sealed motor, the same secure mount we use indoors.

Will the salt air damage the stairlift over time?

An unprotected indoor unit will corrode within about two years this close to the ocean. Our outdoor lifts use zinc-rich powder-coated rail and IP55-sealed drive systems built for the coast. Indoor units are far less exposed, but for beachfront homes where salt mist gets inside we recommend a silicone lubricant on the rail gear rack every six months.

How does the VA HISA grant work for Tybee Island veterans?

The Home Improvements and Structural Alterations grant pays up to $6,800 for medically necessary modifications for service-connected veterans; non-service-connected veterans may receive up to $2,000. It is tax-free, a one-time lifetime benefit, and never has to be repaid. You need a medical-necessity prescription from a VA provider. Tybee veterans work through the Savannah VA Clinic at 1170 Shawnee Street, and we prepare the paperwork at the assessment.

Does Georgia Medicaid cover stairlifts for Tybee residents?

Yes, through the Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program (EDWP). Recipients who qualify for nursing-facility-level care but choose to stay home can receive coverage for home modifications, including stairlifts, up to a $10,000 lifetime cap. You apply through the Georgia Department of Community Health or the Area Agency on Aging, and a care manager assessment is part of the multi-week process.

Is there Georgia funding for home access outside Medicaid?

The Georgia Department of Community Affairs runs a Home Access Program offering grants for disability-related modifications that help people avoid nursing-home placement, though funding varies year to year with the state budget. It is administered through Georgia's Centers for Independent Living, with the nearest office in Savannah. We can point you to current eligibility details during the assessment.

What financing is available for residents who do not qualify for grants?

We offer 0% and low-APR plans from $79 per month, with terms of 12 to 60 months and no prepayment penalty. Third-party lender approval usually takes about 10 minutes at the in-home assessment. We accept major credit cards, checks, and ACH transfers, and many island families split the cost among siblings. Quotes are held up to 60 days while HISA or EDWP authorization comes through.

A word from Luis

Tybee homes hand you two problems no inland install has. The salt off the Atlantic eats unprotected metal in about two seasons, so every outdoor unit I mount here gets the marine-grade rail and IP55-sealed motor — zinc-rich powder coat, sealed every joint. And so many of these raised beach houses have long, steep exterior runs from the carport up to the main floor.
What I hear most from island families is that those exterior steps became the dealbreaker. Mom managed the house for twenty years, but the fourteen steps up from the ground level got harder every winter. We put a weather-sealed straight lift on the side stairwell, battery-backed for storm season, and she comes and goes on her own again. On Tybee that is the install that keeps people in the home they love.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Tybee Island's median age runs north of 60, and its housing stock spans 1890s officer cottages to post-flood-code elevated beach houses. Salt air, flood-zone elevation, and narrow historic stairwells all call for coastal-spec equipment — marine-grade rail, sealed motors, and battery backup for storm season.

If the stairs are now the main obstacle to keeping a parent in a longtime island home, reach us by phone or the online form. Luis measures the home and gives a real same-day quote — no pressure, no travel charge, and most island installs wrap within a week.
