Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Franklin County

Franklin County, PA

Washington Township surrounds Waynesboro in southeastern Franklin County, running from Blue Ridge Summit near the Maryland line north through Rouzerville, Wayne Heights, and Zullinger. Homes range from 18th-century stone farmhouses with narrow original staircases to mid-century colonials with oak treads and newer developments with carpeted split-levels. In Pen Mar and Charmian — early-1900s summer retreat areas — steep interior stairs are common and a straight rail fits most. The Monterey historic district has older two-story homes where curved rails handle landings and turns. Freeze-thaw winters make outdoor steps hazardous; several homes in Eastland Hills have weather-sealed outdoor lifts.

Luis put a straight rail on our colonial staircase in Glen Forney. My husband has Parkinson's and was starting to avoid the second floor entirely. The install took under three hours. Luis bolted everything to the treads and showed my husband the controls three times until he had it down. The seat swivels at the top landing so he can step off facing the hallway, not the stairs. That detail alone changed his confidence on the stairs.

We live in an 1820s farmhouse in Cress with the original stone staircase — narrow, steep, and worn smooth in the center of each tread. Two other companies told us it couldn't be done. Luis measured everything, ordered a custom straight rail, and had it installed in a morning. The rail sits low against the treads and tucks against the wall when not in use. You barely notice it. My mother-in-law moved back into her upstairs bedroom the same week.

The outdoor lift Luis put on our porch in Buena Vista Springs has held up through two winters now. We get heavy snow up here near the mountain, and the freeze-thaw cycle ices over the stone steps every January. The lift runs without hesitation. The seat cover sheds snow, the rail stays clear, and the IP55 rating isn't marketing — it genuinely works. My dad uses it to get down to the driveway so he can still drive himself to appointments in Waynesboro.

My brother uses a wheelchair and we needed a platform lift for the split-level stairs in our Midvale home. Luis showed us the indoor inclined platform — flat black deck, yellow safety edges, white handrail. It carries him and the chair up to 600 pounds. The platform folds up against the wall when the rest of us use the stairs. It took about five hours to install. Luis handled every detail, including showing us how the safety sensors stop the platform if anything blocks the path.

We have a 90-degree turn at the upper landing in our Wayne Heights colonial — the kind of staircase where the last three steps turn right with a half-wall on one side. Luis came out for the laser measurement and explained how the curved rail would be bent at the factory to match every angle. Four weeks later the rail arrived, the install crew had it running in four hours, and my wife rode it up to the bedroom level that same afternoon. The rail hugs the wall tightly around the turn.

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 Township?

A straight stairlift in Washington Township starts at $2,800 installed. Curved rails — needed for the landings and turns common in older Blue Ridge Summit and Monterey-area homes — start at $9,000. Outdoor lifts for porch steps in Rouzerville and Eastland Hills start at $4,000. Heavy-duty models rated to 600 lb start at $5,050. Every quote includes the assessment, the rail, installation, and a demo on how to use the lift. Financing starts at $79/month.

Is there a price difference between straight and curved stairlifts?

Yes, curved stairlifts cost more because the rail is custom-fabricated to match your exact staircase geometry. A straight rail comes off the shelf in standard lengths; a curved rail requires a one-hour laser measurement on site, then the rail is bent at the factory to match every turn. In Washington Township, where older farmhouses and colonials often have 90-degree landings or intermediate turns, curved rails account for about one in three installs.

Are there financing options for Washington Township residents?

Yes. Financing starts at $79/month with approved credit. We walk you through the application at the assessment — it takes about ten minutes. There is no prepayment penalty and no balloon payment. Many Washington Township families combine financing with the HISA grant (up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans) or Community HealthChoices waiver coverage to bring the monthly cost down further.

Does the price include installation and the old stairlift removal?

Yes. The quoted price covers the on-site assessment, the rail and carriage, installation labor, and a full demonstration. If you have an old stairlift that needs to come out, removal is included at no extra charge. In Washington Township homes, most installs take about three hours for a straight rail and four to five hours for a curved rail. We bolt to the treads, not the wall, so your drywall stays intact.

How long does stairlift installation take in Washington Township homes?

A straight stairlift install in a Washington Township home takes about three hours from arrival to final test. Curved rails take longer — about four to five hours — because the custom-bent rail needs precise alignment at each turn. Outdoor installs on porch steps add about an hour for weather sealing. We schedule around your availability, and most families in the township have the lift running by lunchtime on install day.

Will a stairlift damage my Washington Township home's walls or stairs?

No. The rail bolts directly to the stair treads, not the wall. In older Washington Township homes with original hardwood or stone treads, we use fasteners that go into the tread without splitting or cracking the material. When the lift is eventually removed, the bolt holes are small and can be filled. The drywall, handrail, and trim are never touched. This matters especially in historic farmhouses around Zullinger and Blue Ridge Summit where preserving original woodwork is a priority.

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

Stairlifts are considered accessibility equipment, not structural alterations, so they do not require a building permit in Washington Township or anywhere in Franklin County. The install is non-invasive — we bolt to the treads, run no new wiring (the lift plugs into a standard outlet), and make no changes to the stair structure. If you live in an HOA community, the Fair Housing Act requires accommodations for mobility equipment; we can provide documentation if your HOA asks.

Can you install a stairlift on the curved staircase in my older Washington Township home?

Yes. Curved stairlifts are built for exactly this situation. We send a technician to your home for a one-hour laser measurement session. The laser captures every angle, rise, and turn. That data goes to the factory, where your rail is bent to match your staircase precisely. No templating, no guesswork. We have installed curved rails in Victorian-era homes in the Monterey historic district, in colonials in Wayne Heights, and in restored farmhouses across the township.

Does the VA cover stairlift costs for veterans in Washington Township?

Yes. The VA's Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant covers up to $6,800 for veterans with service-connected disabilities and up to $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans enrolled in VA healthcare. The grant is one-time, tax-free, and never repaid. To apply, you need a prescription from a VA doctor and a completed HISA application. The Franklin County Office of Veterans Affairs at 425 Franklin Farm Lane in Chambersburg (717-263-4326) helps local veterans file the paperwork. The nearest VA Medical Center is Martinsburg VAMC at 510 Butler Avenue in Martinsburg, WV — about 37 miles from Washington Township.

Does Pennsylvania Medicaid cover stairlifts through Community HealthChoices?

Yes. Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices (CHC) Waiver covers home modifications including stairlifts for individuals 21 and older who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid or Medicaid-only with disabilities, and who meet nursing-facility level of care. The stairlift must be deemed medically necessary. The Franklin County Area Agency on Aging can help Washington Township residents determine eligibility and connect you with a CHC managed care organization. Home modifications under CHC are assessed case by case through your care coordinator.

Can the Franklin County Area Agency on Aging help with stairlift funding?

Yes. The Franklin County Area Agency on Aging administers the OPTIONS Program, which provides assistance to residents 60 and older who want to stay in their homes. OPTIONS can cover some home modification costs, including stairlifts, based on assessed need and available funding. Unlike Medicaid, OPTIONS is not income-restricted, though there may be a cost-share. Call the Franklin County AAA directly to schedule an in-home assessment. They can also help with CHC waiver applications if you qualify for both programs.

Are there state-level grants for home accessibility in Washington Township?

Beyond the CHC waiver and OPTIONS program, Pennsylvania does not have a dedicated statewide home-modification grant for seniors or disabled residents outside of the Medicaid system. However, the OBRA Waiver (for adults with developmental physical disabilities) also covers home modifications. Some Washington Township residents combine multiple funding sources — for example, using the VA HISA grant for $6,800 and financing the remainder at $79/month. We review every funding option at the assessment and help with the paperwork for whichever programs you qualify for.

A word from Luis

I've put stairlifts into homes all over Washington Township — from the 1790s stone farmhouses out near Zullinger to the mid-century colonials in Wayne Heights and the summer cottages up in Pen Mar. No two staircases are the same out here. Some of the older places in Blue Ridge Summit have treads worn smooth after 200 years, and the rise on those steps doesn't match any modern code. That's why I measure every job personally before we order a rail.
What catches people off guard is the freeze-thaw cycle. Outdoor porch steps in Rouzerville and Eastland Hills take a beating from Pennsylvania winters. The outdoor lifts we install are IP55-rated and built for that — they'll run through snow and ice without seizing up. The battery backup matters too; when a winter storm knocks out power along Buchanan Trail, the lift still works for about six hours. I've lived in Franklin County for over 15 years. I know what these homes need.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Washington Township sits in a part of Franklin County where the housing stock tells the story of the region — 18th-century farmhouses, early-1900s summer cottages, mid-century colonials, and newer family homes all within a few miles of each other. That variety means every stairlift install here is its own puzzle. Luis has measured staircases in homes built before the Civil War and in splits put up in the 1990s, and he shows up to every assessment himself.

If you live in Blue Ridge Summit, Zullinger, Wayne Heights, Pen Mar, Rouzerville, or anywhere else in the township, call for an assessment. The funding paperwork for veterans and Medicaid recipients is two forms, and we help you fill them out. Most straight-rail installs take about three hours. The rail bolts to the treads, not the wall. Your drywall stays intact.
