Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Tazewell County

Tazewell County, IL

We install across all of Washington. Around Historic Washington Square, Victorian two-stories keep their original oak treads and tight 30-inch stairs with curved landings — these usually call for a custom-bent rail. North of Route 24, Devonshire and Sunset Hills bring 1970s-to-2000s builds with straight carpeted or hardwood stairs that take a standard rail. Cherry Pointe and the split-levels off Cherry Tree see frequent straight installs on carpet, while Doering Park and outlying porch entries occasionally need an outdoor lift. We also serve East Peoria, Morton, Peoria, and Pekin.

Stories From Around Washington

Hear It From Your Washington Neighbors

How stairlift projects tend to go for homeowners in Washington. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.

Luis installed our straight stairlift in Sunset Hills last March. Our place is a 1998 two-story with carpeted stairs and a standard rise. He arrived at 9, bolted the rail to the treads, plugged it in, and was done before noon. My father-in-law uses it three times a day now — no more waiting at the bottom for someone to help him up.

We bought a 1910 house near the Square two years ago. The staircase is narrow — about 31 inches — with a sharp turn at the landing. Three other companies told us they couldn't do it. Luis measured with the laser, ordered the curved rail, and had it in under two weeks. It follows the turn perfectly and the seat parks right at the top.

After my knee replacement I couldn't manage the basement laundry stairs. Luis put a straight rail on the carpeted run in our Devonshire home — in and out in under four hours. The seat folds up tight so my grandkids can still run up and down. The battery backup kicked in twice during Illinois thunderstorms and worked fine both times.

We had an outdoor lift put on our front porch steps over in Cherry Pointe. Central Illinois winters are rough — freezing rain, snow, spring mud — and it's held up perfectly. The IP55 sealing on the rail still looks new after a year. Luis warned us outdoor installs need a little more care than indoor, and he was right, but nothing has failed.

My brother uses a wheelchair, so we needed a platform lift, not a seat. Luis came out, measured the staircase, and had it installed a week later. The black deck with the yellow safety edges fits our stairway exactly. He rolls on at the bottom, rides up, rolls off at the top — that simple. No more carrying him up.

Common Questions

Everything Washington 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 Washington, IL?

Straight stairlifts start at $2,800 installed. Curved lifts begin at $9,000 because the rail is custom-bent to your staircase. Outdoor lifts start at $4,000 and heavy-duty units at $5,050. Final pricing depends on rail length, turns, and any landing work. You get a written quote at the free in-home assessment with no hidden fees.

What is the cheapest stairlift option in Washington?

A basic straight stairlift on a standard staircase runs $2,800 fully installed. Newer subdivisions like Devonshire and Sunset Hills usually have straight stairs that don't need a curved rail, which keeps the cost at the lower end. Financing from $79/month spreads it out further.

Why do curved stairlifts cost more in Washington homes?

The curved rail in an older home off Washington Square has to be measured with a laser and factory-bent to match every angle of the turn — no two are alike. That custom fabrication is why curved installs start at $9,000 versus $2,800 for a straight rail on a newer Devonshire staircase.

Are there payment plans for stairlifts in Washington?

Yes. Financing starts at $79/month through third-party partners with no prepayment penalty and same-day application. Many Washington families combine financing with a VA HISA grant or an IHDA accessibility program to lower the out-of-pocket cost.

How long does stairlift installation take in Washington?

Most straight installs take about 3 hours start to finish. Curved-rail installs run 4 to 5 hours because the rail is pre-bent at the factory from on-site laser measurements. The rail bolts to the treads — no drywall work or rewiring — and the lift plugs into a standard 120V outlet and charges its onboard battery.

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

No. Stairlifts are temporary accessibility equipment under the Fair Housing Act, not a structural change, so the City of Washington and Tazewell County don't require a permit. The rail bolts to the stair treads, not the wall, so it removes cleanly later with no structural trace.

Will a stairlift fit the narrow stairs in older Washington homes?

Yes. Many homes around Washington Square have staircases as narrow as 30 inches. A straight stairlift folds to about 11 inches when parked, leaving room for others on the stairs. For tight turns in the older Victorians, the curved rail is laser-measured on site to follow every angle without blocking the stairway.

Can a stairlift be installed on carpeted stairs in my Washington home?

Yes. The rail brackets bolt through the carpet directly into the wood tread below — no removal or replacement needed. Plenty of homes in Devonshire, Cherry Pointe, and Sunset Hills have wall-to-wall carpet on the stairs, and the install stays a standard 3 to 4 hours.

Does the VA cover stairlifts for veterans in Washington, IL?

Yes. The VA Home Improvement and Structural Alteration (HISA) grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans and $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans — one-time, tax-free, no repayment. Washington veterans apply through the Bob Michel VA Outpatient Clinic at 7717 N Orange Prairie Rd in Peoria (about 13 miles away). We help with the paperwork at no charge.

Does Illinois Medicaid cover stairlift installation?

It can, but it isn't a guaranteed core benefit. Illinois covers home modifications through HCBS waivers like the Persons with Disabilities Waiver and the DRS process for qualifying residents at risk of nursing-home placement, decided case-by-case after a Determination of Need assessment. We help you find out whether you qualify.

What is the IHDA Home Repair and Accessibility Program?

The Illinois Housing Development Authority runs the Home Repair and Accessibility Program (HRAP), a forgivable loan covering accessibility work including stairlifts for income-qualified homeowners. It's delivered through local government and nonprofit partners, not directly by IHDA. Tazewell County residents can contact IHDA to find the nearest administering agency.

Are there local Tazewell County programs that help with stairlift costs?

Tazewell County has no standalone stairlift fund, but residents may qualify for the statewide IHDA HRAP forgivable loan for accessibility work, an Illinois Medicaid HCBS waiver decided case-by-case, or the federal VA HISA grant. Pairing a grant with our $79/month financing usually makes a lift affordable.

A word from Luis

Washington's housing stock splits right down the middle. The century-old homes around Washington Square have 30-inch staircases that need curved, factory-bent rails to follow the turn at the landing. The newer subdivisions north of Route 24 — Devonshire, Sunset Hills, Cherry Pointe — have straight, carpeted runs where a standard rail goes in by lunchtime.
I measure every staircase on site before anything is ordered. For the older two-stories off the Square, I bring the laser, map the exact angle, and the rail comes back bent to match. No guesswork, no blocking the stairway for the rest of the family.
