Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Franklin County

Franklin County, MO

Union's stairlift installs span several residential areas. Estates at Valley View Farms and Meadows at Valley View Farms off Highway 50 have two-story homes built after 2015 with straight oak-tread staircases at standard widths. Manors at St. Andrews and Commons at St. Andrews feature newer construction where stairs often turn at a half-landing. Old Farm Estates has homes from the 1970s–1990s with carpeted treads and tighter stairwells. Around Locust Street and Hansen Park, 1920s–1940s homes have narrower hardwood stairs, sometimes with a 90-degree turn. We also cover Parkview Commons and surrounding Franklin County towns.

Verified Customer Reviews

Hear It From Your Union Neighbors

Real stories from families across Franklin County — drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below. Every review came from a verified customer.

Luis measured our stairs on a Tuesday and had the straight lift in by Friday. My mom is 78 and had been sleeping on the couch for six months because she couldn't get upstairs. Now she's back in her own bedroom. The rail is solid — bolts into the treads, not the wall. Three hours and they were done. Even swept up after themselves.

We have that curved staircase with the half-wall at the top — looked like it would be a nightmare for any kind of lift. Luis came out, took laser measurements, and two weeks later the custom rail fit like it was built with the house. My wife has arthritis in both knees and now uses it four or five times a day without any wobble or noise.

I was worried about the stone treads — thought they'd crack during drilling. Luis explained they use a specific bit pressure for masonry and showed me photos of similar installs. No cracks, no mess. The slim rail profile he recommended keeps the stairway open for our grandkids to still run up and down. Install was done before lunch.

Outdoor lift on our front porch steps. January install — cold, but Luis' crew worked through it. The rail is weather-sealed and the seat cover repels ice and rain. My father-in-law uses it every Sunday when he comes for dinner. Six months in, zero issues. The rust-resistant bolts still look new despite the freeze-thaw we get here.

The carpet on our stairs is that older brown cut-pile from the 80s — I thought it would have to come up. Luis said no, they mount right through it to the tread underneath. The seat color matches almost perfectly. My husband had his hip replaced in August and this lift let him come home instead of going to a rehab facility. Best money we ever spent.

My brother uses a wheelchair and we'd been carrying him up six stairs for two years. Luis put in the platform lift — black deck, yellow edges, real sturdy. The rail mounts to the wall along a straight run. Platform folds up when not in use so the stairway stays open. It's quiet, smooth, and rated for 600 pounds. Life-changing for our family.

Common Questions

Everything Union 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 straight stairlift cost in Union, MO?

A straight stairlift in Union starts at $2,800 installed. This covers the rail, seat, battery backup, and a 5-year warranty with lifetime rail coverage. Most straight installs in Union's newer subdivisions — Estates at Valley View Farms, Commons at St. Andrews — run $2,800 to $3,500 depending on rail length. The final price includes our in-home measurement, all mounting hardware, and cleanup.

What does a curved stairlift cost in Union?

Curved stairlifts in Union start at $9,000. The price varies based on the number of turns and rail complexity. Homes near Locust Street and downtown Union, built in the 1920s–1940s, often have a single 90-degree turn at the landing, which keeps the cost closer to $9,000. Multiple turns or intermediate landings increase the total. Every curved install includes a 1-hour laser measurement, custom rail fabrication, and the same 5-year warranty.

Does Medicare or private insurance cover stairlift costs in Union?

Original Medicare does not cover stairlifts — they're classified as home modifications, not durable medical equipment. Some Medicare Advantage plans in Missouri offer limited home-modification benefits, but this varies by plan. Private long-term-care insurance policies sometimes cover stairlifts; we recommend calling your provider and asking specifically about 'home modification' or 'accessibility adaptation' coverage. We can provide the documentation your insurer needs.

Are there financing options for stairlifts in Franklin County?

Yes. We offer financing starting at $79/month for qualified buyers. Missouri Assistive Technology (MoAT) also runs the Show-Me Loans program — low-interest loans (typically 4-6% APR) specifically for home modifications and stairlifts, available to Missouri residents regardless of income. Loan terms go up to 60 months. We can walk you through the MoAT application at your free in-home assessment.

How long does stairlift installation take in Union homes?

Most straight stairlift installs in Union take 3 to 4 hours — we arrive, mount the rail to the stair treads (not the wall), attach the seat, test the full travel, and clean up. Curved installs take 4 to 6 hours because the custom rail requires precise anchoring at each turn. Outdoor installs are similar. You don't need to be home for the whole process, just for the final walk-through.

Will a stairlift damage my hardwood stairs or walls in my Union home?

No. The rail bolts directly to the stair treads, not the wall, so drywall stays intact. For hardwood treads — common in the older homes off Locust Street and around Hansen Park — we use a specific bit and torque setting to prevent splitting. If you ever remove the lift, the bolt holes are small (about the diameter of a pencil) and easy to fill. We leave no marks on walls or banisters.

Can you install a stairlift on older, narrow staircases in Union's historic homes?

Yes. The pre-1940 homes near downtown Union often have staircases as narrow as 28 inches. We use slim-rail models with folding seats, footrests, and armrests that collapse to about 12 inches when parked — enough to keep the stairway passable. Luis measures every staircase during the free assessment and will tell you honestly if a standard lift won't fit. In nearly all cases, even the tightest Union staircases can accommodate a lift.

Do outdoor stairlifts hold up in Union's winter weather?

Yes. Union averages about 16 inches of snow per year with winter lows in the 20s. Our outdoor lifts use IP55-rated, weather-sealed components with marine-grade finishes, rust-resistant stainless steel bolts, and seat covers rated for continuous outdoor exposure. The DC motor runs on a sealed battery backup that performs reliably in cold temperatures. We've installed outdoor units in Franklin County that have gone through five winters without a service call.

Does the VA cover stairlift costs for veterans in Franklin County?

Yes, through the HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) grant. Veterans with service-connected disabilities can receive up to $6,800 — enough to fully cover a straight stairlift. Non-service-connected veterans can receive up to $2,000. The grant is one-time, tax-free, and never repaid. Franklin County veterans can start the process at the Franklin County VA Clinic at 1627 A Roy Drive in Washington (about 7 miles from Union) or through the main St. Louis VA Medical Center-Jefferson Barracks at 1 Jefferson Barracks Drive. Bring VA Form 26-4555 and a prescription from your VA primary care doctor.

Does Missouri Medicaid cover stairlifts?

Yes, through the Missouri Aged and Disabled Waiver (ADW), which covers home modifications for MO HealthNet-eligible adults age 63 and older who are at risk of nursing-home placement. The waiver can fund stairlifts, ramps, and bathroom modifications. Eligibility is income-based: as of 2025, the individual income limit is approximately $1,690/month with asset limits around $6,068. The application goes through the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. We can help you confirm eligibility during your assessment.

What Missouri state programs help seniors pay for stairlifts?

Beyond Medicaid, Missouri offers the Show-Me Loans program through Missouri Assistive Technology (MoAT). It provides low-interest loans (typically 4-6% APR) for home modifications, including stairlifts — with no income cap and terms up to 60 months. Franklin County seniors can also contact Aging Ahead, the Area Agency on Aging for the St. Louis region (serving Franklin, St. Louis, St. Charles, and Jefferson counties), at (800) 243-6060 for limited home-modification grants. These grants are modest — usually $500 to $1,500 — but can offset part of the cost when combined with other funding sources.

Are there any Franklin County-specific grants for home accessibility?

Franklin County doesn't run a standalone home-modification grant, but county residents can access the statewide programs. Aging Ahead (the Area Agency on Aging for Franklin County) administers Title III Older Americans Act funds for minor home modifications — priority goes to safety-related projects like stairlifts for seniors at fall risk. The Franklin County Health Department sometimes coordinates with state programs as well. We stay current on all local funding routes and will review your options during the free assessment.

A word from Luis

I've been installing stairlifts in Union since 2010, and the housing mix here keeps the work interesting. One morning I'm in a 2019 two-story in Estates at Valley View Farms with wide oak treads and an open floor plan, and the next I'm measuring a 1930s staircase off Locust Street that's 28 inches wide with a tight turn at the landing. The older homes near Hansen Park and downtown almost always need the slim-rail model, but we've never found a staircase in Union we couldn't fit.
The weather here matters too. Outdoor installs in Meadows at Valley View Farms and up toward the Bourbeuse River bluffs need the marine-grade finish — we get freeze-thaw cycles from December through February that chew up cheap hardware. I spec stainless bolts on every outdoor job in Franklin County. Same goes for the battery backup: the DC systems we use hold a charge through multi-day winter outages, which matters when a storm knocks out power along Highway 50.
What I hear most from families in Union is relief — not just about the lift working, but about how fast it goes in. Most installs are 3 to 4 hours. The rail bolts to the treads, not the wall. Homeowners walk through afterward and the house looks exactly the same, except now their mom or husband can get upstairs without help. That's the whole point.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Union's location on the Bourbeuse River, its mix of housing stock, and its steady growth along the Highway 50 corridor mean stairlift needs here span the full range — from tight 1920s staircases near Locust Street to wide-open two-story builds in the Valley View subdivisions. Franklin County's 20% senior population keeps demand steady, and the Franklin County VA Clinic in nearby Washington lets local veterans apply for HISA grants through a familiar facility just seven miles away.
