How long does installation take in Webster Groves?

A straight rail takes about 3 hours, a curved rail about 4 hours, and an outdoor lift about 3.5 hours. That includes rail mounting, carriage setup, testing, and a full walkthrough before we leave.

Will the rail damage a historic staircase or the plaster?

No. The rail bolts into the treads, not the walls, so the plaster, wallpaper, and trim stay untouched—which matters in pre-1920 Old Webster and Tuxedo Park homes. If the lift is ever removed, we fill the tread holes.

Can you install on narrow staircases?

Yes—we install on stairs as narrow as 28 inches. The slim-profile rail adds about 5 inches when the seat is folded, so a 30-inch staircase still leaves roughly 18 inches of clear walking space. Many Old Orchard and Webster Park homes have 32-inch stairs.

Do I need a permit in Webster Groves?

No. Because the lift is tread-mounted rather than attached to the home's structure, it falls outside St. Louis County structural and electrical permitting, and there's no historic-district restriction on it.

Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across St. Louis County

St. Louis County, MO

We install throughout Webster Groves and across St. Louis County. The five original railroad communities—Old Orchard, Webster Park, Tuxedo Park, Selma, and Old Webster—are full of pre-1920 homes with narrow staircases and plaster walls, which is why we anchor rails into the treads. Deer Creek split-levels on the northeast side often want an outdoor porch lift for a sloped lot, while the homes around Blackburn Park tend to be 1940s story-and-a-halves with carpeted stairs. We also serve Crestwood, Affton, Kirkwood, Clayton, Concord, Lemay, University City, and Mehlville.

Stories From Around Webster Groves

Hear It From Your Webster Groves Neighbors

The kinds of staircases and installs we see across Webster Groves's older and newer homes alike. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.

Luis installed a straight stairlift in my mother's 1920s home in Old Orchard. The 32-inch-wide stairs worried us, but the slim-profile model fit perfectly and she still has room to walk past it. He was done in one afternoon.

Our Tuxedo Park Victorian has a 90-degree turn at the landing and we figured a stairlift was impossible. Luis laser-measured it and the curved rail fit perfectly, clearing the chandelier by inches. It came in right around $9,200.

The outdoor lift on our Deer Creek porch handled two snowstorms and a thunderstorm without a hiccup. The finish still looks brand new after a full Missouri winter. Luis sealed everything and showed us how to run it in the cold.

My wife uses a wheelchair, so Luis put in a platform lift instead of a seat. She rolls on, rides up, and rolls off on her own now. The HISA grant covered most of it through Jefferson Barracks, which made the whole thing affordable.

My father was skeptical about installing on carpet, but the brackets anchor straight through to the wood beneath and the upholstery matches the carpet tone almost exactly. We financed it at $79 a month and it's been flawless.

Common Questions

Everything Webster Groves 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 stairlift cost in Webster Groves?

A straight stairlift starts at $2,800 installed; curved from $9,000; outdoor from $4,000; and heavy-duty from $5,050. Every quote includes the in-home measurement, the rail, the carriage, installation, and a 5-year warranty with lifetime rail coverage.

What's the price difference between a straight and curved lift?

A straight lift typically runs $2,800 to $3,500, while a curved lift runs $9,000 to $12,000. The difference is the curved rail: it's custom-bent at the factory after an on-site laser measurement, which is unavoidable on the 90-degree turns common in older Webster Groves homes.

Are there hidden costs like permits, electrical, or disposal?

No. No permit is required because the rail bolts to the stairs, not the wall structure. The lift runs off a standard 120V outlet with a built-in battery backup, so no new wiring is needed. Packaging and removal of any old lift are included.

Is financing available in Webster Groves?

Yes. Financing starts at $79/month through a third-party lender with no prepayment penalty. Many families also stack a VA HISA grant of up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans or the Missouri Aged & Disabled Waiver to lower the out-of-pocket cost.

Does the VA HISA grant cover stairlifts for Webster Groves veterans?

Yes. HISA pays up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans and $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans. It's one-time and tax-free. Local veterans are served by the St. Louis VA Medical Center–Jefferson Barracks (1 Jefferson Barracks Dr, St. Louis, MO 63125) and John J. Cochran Veterans Hospital (915 N. Grand Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63106).

Does Missouri Medicaid cover stairlifts?

Yes. The Missouri Aged & Disabled Waiver, run through MO HealthNet, can cover home modifications including stairlifts as an environmental accessibility adaptation for members 63 and older who would otherwise need nursing-home care. Coverage and amounts are set in your care plan with your case manager.

Are there St. Louis County or Missouri state grants?

Beyond Medicaid and the VA, Missouri Assistive Technology offers low-interest Show-Me Loans for assistive equipment, and the St. Louis Area Agency on Aging funds limited minor home modifications. Rebuilding Together St. Louis does project-based repairs for low-income seniors.

How do I apply for funding?

Start with a free in-home assessment, and we'll walk you through the programs you qualify for. For VA HISA you'll need VA Form 10-0103 plus a medical-necessity note from a VA provider. For the Missouri Aged & Disabled Waiver, the St. Louis Area Agency on Aging connects you with a case manager; financing approval takes about 10 minutes during the assessment.

A word from Luis

You don't learn these old Webster Groves houses from a brochure. You learn them from installing lift after lift in homes that were framed before 1920—the 32-inch-wide Old Orchard Craftsman staircases, the 90-degree landing turns in the Tuxedo Park Victorians, the plaster walls you can't drill into.
That's why I measure every staircase on site and anchor the rail into the treads instead of the walls. After 15 years I can usually tell a family within ten minutes whether their stairs take a standard straight rail or need a custom curved one—and I'd rather tell them the truth up front than sell them the wrong lift.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Webster Groves is a city built around its staircases. The historic districts are defined by homes where the stairs were framed before 1920, and that's not a problem—it just means the install has to be right the first time: measured on site, the rail bent or cut to fit, and bolts anchored into the treads instead of the plaster walls.
