Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Daviess County

Daviess County, IN

Washington's residential neighborhoods spread outward from the Commercial Historic District, where Italianate and Federal-style homes on East Main and East Walnut date to the late 1800s. East Park Terrace and the Eastside Park area feature 1920s–1940s frame houses, many with original oak treads that settled into a pitch steeper than modern code. Don Gress and Gilbert Gress subdivisions hold mid-century ranches with standard 8-foot stair runs — a straight rail bolts in within three hours. New Green Acres and Rolling offer 1960s–1970s construction, while McCrackens and Graham Place mix older cottages with newer builds. Sundale, a manufactured-home community near Eastside Park, often has compact interior stairs where a slim-rail model fits tight turns.

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

Luis came out to our Graham Place home two days after I called. Our stairs are narrow — 32 inches wide — and I thought we'd need a custom curved rail. He measured and showed us the slim straight model fits. Three hours later my mom was riding up to her bedroom. No construction mess, no wall damage. The rail bolts right to the treads. She goes up and down six times a day now. Best call I made this year.

Our 1950s Maple Heights ranch has a basic straight staircase — 12 steps, carpeted. Luis installed a brown seat lift in under three hours. He showed my wife how the swivel seat works at the top landing so she doesn't have to twist her hips getting off. Battery backup runs the lift through the power outages we get during summer thunderstorms. The $79/month financing made it doable on our fixed income.

Mom moved in with us in Rolling and couldn't manage the stairs to the guest room. Luis recommended a straight rail — $2,800 installed. The assessor came on a Wednesday, install happened Friday. They matched the rail color to our existing banister. Mom was nervous at first but the remote control lets her call the chair to her. Now she's independent upstairs and we're not hauling a mattress down to the living room.

I'm a Vietnam vet and applied for the HISA grant through the Vincennes VA Clinic. Luis helped me fill out the two forms — the grant request and the medical-necessity statement. The VA approved it for $6,800, which covered our entire curved-rail install in Gilbert Gress. Our stairs make a 90-degree turn at the landing, so the rail had to be custom-bent. Four-hour install. Zero out of pocket.

Our outdoor steps at the Sundale community were getting impossible for Dad — four stone steps, no handrail on one side. Luis put in a weather-sealed outdoor lift. The cream-colored seat has a waterproof cover, and the rail's IP55-rated. Dad uses it year-round, even when it's 20 degrees out. The battery backup means it still runs if we lose power in an ice storm. He hasn't skipped his morning paper run yet.

We needed a platform lift, not a seat — my brother uses a wheelchair full-time. Luis was the only installer in the Washington area who quoted us a platform lift without pushing us toward a seat model. The black deck with yellow safety edges installed in four and a half hours on our straight staircase near Eastside Park. Folds up when not in use. Our dog walks up the stairs next to it like nothing changed.

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, Indiana?

Straight stairlifts start at $2,800 installed. Curved models, which need custom rail-bending after a 1-hour laser measurement, start at $9,000. Outdoor lifts — weather-sealed for southwestern Indiana winters — start at $4,000. Heavy-duty lifts rated for 600 pounds start at $5,050. All prices include installation, and financing starts at $79/month. Washington homes built before 1950 on streets like East Main or East Walnut more often need curved rails, which raises the price to the $9,000–$12,000 range depending on the number of turns.

Does Medicare or private insurance cover stairlift costs in Washington?

Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover stairlifts — they're classified as home modifications, not durable medical equipment. Some Medicare Advantage plans in Indiana offer a home-safety allowance that may contribute $500–$1,000 toward a lift. Private long-term-care insurance policies often cover stairlifts if prescribed by a physician. We check your policy during the free in-home assessment.

What financing options are available for Washington residents?

We offer financing starting at $79/month with approved credit. There is no prepayment penalty. For Daviess County homeowners 62 and older, a reverse mortgage or home-equity line can also fund a stairlift. We walk through all payment options at the assessment — no obligation, no hard credit pull until you decide.

Are there any hidden costs beyond the quoted price?

No. The price quoted at assessment is the price you pay — it covers the lift, custom rail fabrication if curved, delivery, installation, cleanup, and a 30-minute walkthrough so you know how to use every control. The only add-on is if you choose an extended service plan beyond the included 5-year warranty, but that's optional and priced upfront.

How long does stairlift installation take in Washington homes?

A straight-rail install takes about three hours from arrival to cleanup. Curved rails, after the 1-hour laser measurement appointment, install in four to five hours. Outdoor lifts take three to four hours. The platform lift for wheelchair users takes about four and a half hours. We schedule around your day — many Washington installs happen weekday mornings and the homeowner is riding by lunchtime.

Do I need a building permit for a stairlift in Washington or Daviess County?

No — stairlifts are classified as temporary home modifications under Indiana code and the Fair Housing Act (42 USC 3604(f)(3)(A)). They bolt to the stair treads, not the wall structure, so no building permit is required in Washington city limits or unincorporated Daviess County. If you live in an HOA community, we provide a spec sheet for architectural review, but HOAs cannot deny a medically necessary accessibility installation under federal law.

Can a stairlift be installed on the steep, narrow stairs in older Washington homes?

Yes. Many Washington homes built before 1940 — especially the Italianate and Federal-style houses near East Main and in the Commercial Historic District — have staircases narrower than today's 36-inch standard and pitched steeper than modern code. The slim-rail model we use folds to 12 inches when parked. For stairs under 28 inches wide, we measure on site to confirm clearance. We have not had a Washington install we could not fit yet.

Will the installation damage my hardwood floors or walls?

No. The rail bolts directly to the stair treads — not the wall, not the floor at the landing. On hardwood treads, the bolt holes are smaller than a dime and hidden under the rail. If you ever remove the lift, wood filler matches the holes and they are nearly invisible. We do not cut into baseboards, we do not touch drywall, and we clean up all drilling dust before we leave.

Does the VA HISA grant cover stairlifts for veterans in the Washington area?

Yes. The VA Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant covers stairlifts. Service-connected veterans receive up to $6,800 — tax-free, one-time, never repaid. Non-service-connected veterans receive up to $2,000. Washington-area veterans apply through the Vincennes VA Clinic at 1813 Willow Street, Ste 6A (812-882-0894), about 19 miles away, or the Roudebush VA Medical Center at 1481 West 10th Street in Indianapolis. The application is two forms: the HISA grant request and a medical-necessity statement from your VA primary care provider. Daviess County's Veterans Service Office can help with paperwork.

Does Indiana Medicaid cover stairlifts through PathWays for Aging?

Yes, through the Home Modification (HOM) benefit. Indiana's PathWays for Aging program — which replaced the old A&D Waiver for Hoosiers 60 and older in July 2024 — covers environmental modifications including stairlifts. The lifetime cap is $15,000 per waiver. For adults under 60 with disabilities, the Health & Wellness (H&W) Waiver provides the same $15,000 lifetime HOM benefit. Generations Area 13 Agency on Aging (based in Vincennes, serving Daviess County) handles intake and can connect you to a case manager.

What is Indiana's CHOICE program and can it help pay for a stairlift?

CHOICE (Community and Home Options to Institutional Care for the Elderly and Disabled) is a state-funded program — separate from Medicaid — for Indiana residents at risk of nursing-home placement who are limited in two or more Activities of Daily Living. It can fund home modifications including stairlifts when documented in a service plan. Income limits apply, and there is often a waiting list. Contact Generations Area 13 at 800-742-9002 to check eligibility.

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

Daviess County itself does not run a dedicated home-modification grant, but the Indiana Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program — administered through the county — can fund ADA accessibility upgrades including stairlifts for income-qualified homeowners. The Older Americans Act Title III-B program, distributed through Generations Area 13, sometimes covers minor home modifications for seniors 60+. We help identify every funding source during your free assessment — most Washington families combine two or three programs to cover the full cost.

A word from Luis

Washington's staircases tell you exactly when each neighborhood was built. East Main Street — 1890s Italianate, oak treads, tight turn at the landing. Don Gress — 1960s, standard 8-foot rise, wall-to-wall carpet. I've measured stairs in every subdivision from East Park Terrace to Sundale. The housing stock here runs the full range, and that means no two installs are identical, even when both are straight-rail jobs.
The homes near Eastside Park are my favorite — 1920s frame houses where the stairs settled over a century into a pitch you don't see in new construction. You can't buy a rail off the shelf for those. But we get it done. Most Washington families I meet are adult children calling on behalf of a parent who fell or nearly fell. They want it fixed fast. We usually install within the week.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Washington's housing stock spans two centuries — from the Italianate brick homes of the Commercial Historic District to mid-century ranches in Don Gress and New Green Acres. Every staircase is different, but after 15 years of installing lifts across Daviess County, Luis has seen every configuration this city throws at a rail. Whether it's a steep 1890s oak staircase on East Main or a carpeted straight run in a 1970s split-level off Bedford Road, the install follows the same pattern: measure, bolt to treads, test, walk the family through every control.

Most Washington installs happen within a week of the assessment. The Vincennes VA Clinic is 19 miles away for veterans pursuing HISA. Generations Area 13 is in Vincennes for PathWays for Aging applicants. And the free in-home assessment — with a firm price quote, no obligation — is a phone call away.
