Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Berks County

Berks County, PA

The boroughs of Bally and Bechtelsville anchor Washington Township, with the unincorporated village of Barto between them along Old Route 100. Most homes date from the 1880s through the 1970s — narrow oak-tread staircases in the older stock, wider carpeted stairs in mid-century ranchers. The Eshbach crossroads at Stauffer Road and the hamlets of Shultzville and Dale sit at the foot of the Oley Hills, where steep farmhouse stairs and exposed porch steps are common. Toward Clayton and the Forgedale Road farms, outdoor entries take the brunt of freeze-thaw winters. We serve all of eastern Berks County, including nearby Boyertown, Gilbertsville, and Pennsburg.

How jobs tend to go for Washington (Berks County) homeowners, where about 38% of residents are 65 or older. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.

Luis showed up on a Tuesday, measured the staircase with this little laser thing, and by Friday my husband was riding up to the bedroom for the first time in six months. We live in one of those old Bally twin homes where the stairs are barely wide enough for a laundry basket — Luis said no problem, I have done tighter, and he was right.

My mother lives out toward Eshbach and was managing the stairs okay until her hip surgery. Luis installed a straight lift on her carpeted stairs in about three hours. He even brought a sample rail color that matched the carpet. Mom cried when she used it the first time — she thought she would have to leave the farm.

We have one of those old stone farmhouses near Barto with stairs that feel like they were an afterthought — steep, narrow, with a weird little landing. Luis came out, measured everything, and told us a straight rail would work fine despite how tight it looked. Three and a half hours and it was done. My father-in-law uses it four times a day now.

Called three companies about our older home near the Bechtelsville line with that curved staircase — two said they would have to look into it. Luis walked in, glanced at the turn, and said he had done plenty of these. The curved rail was custom-bent and installed inside a week. It fits the wall like it was built with the house.

We are out near Shultzville and Luis came with no travel charge. We needed an outdoor lift for the front porch because my wife could not manage the stone steps anymore. The rail has been through a full Berks County winter — snow, ice, the works — and runs like day one. Worth every cent.

The HISA grant paperwork was confusing until Luis walked me through it. He knew exactly what the Berks County VA Clinic in Wyomissing needed for the medical-necessity form. Got the straight lift installed on my carpeted stairs two weeks after the grant was approved. I am a Vietnam-era Navy vet, and Luis is the real deal.

Common Questions

Everything Washington (Berks County) 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 Washington Township?

A straight stairlift in Washington Township starts at $2,800 installed. That is the final price for a standard straight staircase up to 14 feet — no hidden fees, no travel charge. Most Bally twin homes and Barto ranchers fall into this category. The quote Luis gives you at the free in-home assessment is the price you pay.

How much does a curved stairlift cost near Bechtelsville?

Curved stairlifts in Washington Township start at $9,000. The price depends on the number of turns — most older homes near the Bechtelsville line have one 90-degree turn at the landing, which falls near the base price. The rail is custom-bent to your exact stair geometry after a laser measurement on site. You get a firm quote before any work starts.

What does an outdoor stairlift cost for a Washington Township farmhouse?

An outdoor stairlift in Washington Township starts at $4,000. The weather-sealed motor and powder-coated rail are built for Berks County conditions — freeze-thaw cycles in February, humidity in July, snow on the porch steps in January. The price includes the IP55-rated enclosure and a cover for the seat when not in use.

Do you charge travel fees for Washington Township installs?

No. We do not charge travel fees anywhere in eastern Berks County — Bally, Bechtelsville, Barto, Eshbach, and the surrounding farmland are all zero-trip-charge zones. The free in-home assessment includes the full measurement and quote with no obligation.

How long does a stairlift installation take in Washington Township homes?

Most straight stairlift installs in Washington Township take 3 to 4 hours from arrival to test ride. Curved rails take about a day because the rail sections are pre-bent at our shop and assembled on site. In both cases we bolt the rail to the stair treads — not the wall — so there is no plaster damage, no repainting, no dust cleanup beyond a quick vacuum.

Can a stairlift fit the narrow stairs in older Bally homes?

Yes. The narrowest stairlift rail folds up to about 11 inches from the wall when not in use, which leaves enough clearance on most 28-to-30-inch-wide staircases in Bally's 1890s twin homes. Luis measures the exact width during the assessment and can tell you on the spot whether it will fit — he has installed straight lifts on staircases narrower than a standard doorway.

Do I need a permit to install a stairlift in Washington Township?

No. Stairlift installations in Washington Township and throughout Berks County do not require a building permit. The rail bolts to the stair treads — not the wall, not the structure — so it is classified as a removable accessibility device under Pennsylvania code. The electrical connection is a standard grounded outlet; no hardwiring needed.

What happens during a power outage with a stairlift out near Eshbach?

Every stairlift we install in Washington Township comes with a DC battery backup that runs the lift for about 6 hours on a full charge — enough for a typical winter storm outage in the Oley Hills. The batteries recharge automatically when power returns. The lift works exactly the same on battery as it does on AC power.

Does the VA HISA grant cover stairlifts for Berks County veterans?

Yes. The VA Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant covers up to $6,800 for veterans with service-connected disabilities and $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans. It is a one-time benefit, tax-free, never repaid. Washington Township veterans process the application through the Berks County VA Clinic at 2762 Century Boulevard in Wyomissing — Luis can help you with the medical-necessity form at your in-home assessment.

Does Pennsylvania Medicaid cover a stairlift through Community HealthChoices?

Yes. Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices (CHC) waiver covers home modifications including stairlifts when medically necessary to keep a person out of a nursing facility. You must be enrolled in CHC and get prior authorization. The Berks County Area Agency on Aging at 633 Court Street in Reading (610-478-6500) can help determine if you qualify for the CHC waiver.

Does the Berks County OPTIONS program help with stairlift costs?

The OPTIONS program, run by the Berks County Area Agency on Aging, provides in-home services and can include home modifications for residents 60 and older who want to stay in their home. It is funded on a sliding scale and is separate from Medicaid. Call the Berks County AAA at 610-478-6500 for an intake screening to see what you qualify for.

What other funding sources help Washington Township seniors pay for a stairlift?

Beyond HISA and Medicaid, Washington Township residents can look into the USDA Section 504 Home Repair program, which provides grants up to $10,000 for elderly very-low-income homeowners to remove health and safety hazards — stairlifts qualify. PHFA's ACCESS Home Modification Program offers mortgage-based financing for accessibility work. Financing through our lenders starts at $79/month if you prefer to spread the cost.

A word from Luis

Washington Township is the kind of place where people stay in their homes for forty years. In Bally I see a lot of 1890s twin homes with 28-inch-wide staircases — tight, but a straight rail still fits with an inch to spare. The older houses near the Bechtelsville line often have that right-angle turn at the landing that needs a curved unit. Out toward Eshbach and the Forgedale Road farmsteads, the bigger worry is the outdoor porch steps — Berks County winters chew up untreated wood, so the weather-sealed outdoor rail earns its cost every January.
What I want families to know is that this is not a long, disruptive project. Most installs in Washington Township are done in a morning — we bolt the rail to the treads, not the wall, so your plaster stays intact. For veterans out here, the HISA grant through the Berks County VA Clinic in Wyomissing covers most or all of the cost. Call me at the assessment and I will walk you through exactly what applies to your situation.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Washington Township families have been aging in place in the same farmhouses, Bally twin homes, and Bechtelsville colonials for generations. A stairlift lets you keep the second-floor bedroom and the basement laundry without the risk of a fall on stairs that have been there since the Coolidge administration.
