Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across York County

York County, ME

From the beach cottages along Moody Beach and Drakes Island to the inland homes in Highpine, Wells presents every stair configuration imaginable. Older capes near Drakes Island often have narrow 32-inch staircases that need a slim-rail straight lift. Colonials and split-levels in Highpine and Coles Corner typically take a straight rail bolted to the treads. Seasonal cottages near Crescent Beach and Wells Beach frequently call for compact straight lifts in tight lower-level stairwells. We install across all seven miles of Wells coastline and inland through Wells Branch, Merriland Ridge, and Tatnic along Route 109.

Stories From Around Wells

Hear It From Your Wells Neighbors

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

I called Luis after my mom's fall on the stairs in our Highpine home. He was here the next morning to measure, and the straight lift was installed four days later. He bolted it right to the oak treads — no damage to the woodwork at all.

The curved stair in our Crescent Beach cottage stumped two other companies — they said the turn at the landing was too tight. Luis measured with the laser, showed us exactly where the rail would bend, and three weeks later it fit perfectly.

We needed a lift for the seasonal cottage at Wells Beach — my father-in-law visits each August and couldn't manage the stairs to the loft. Luis put in a compact straight lift and set us up with battery backup since the place sits empty in winter.

My wife has MS and our two-story near Coles Corner became impossible for her. Luis installed a straight lift on the main staircase and walked her through the controls until she had it down cold. It's changed her day-to-day.

We built our retirement home in Wells Branch with a straight staircase to the finished basement — never thinking we'd need a lift. After my hip surgery Luis had one in within the week, matched to the carpet so it barely stands out.

Common Questions

Everything Wells 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 Wells, Maine?

Straight-rail lifts start at $2,800. Curved lifts — custom-bent to your exact stair turn — start at $9,000. Outdoor lifts for porch or deck stairs start at $4,000. Heavy-duty lifts rated to 600 lb start at $5,050. Financing is available from $79/month.

Why do curved stairlifts cost more in Wells?

Curved rails are custom-fabricated after a 1-hour laser measurement at your home. The rail is bent at the factory to match your exact stair geometry, then installed in one piece. That custom work adds about two weeks and roughly $6,000 over a straight-rail price.

Are there extra costs for a stairlift in a seasonal Wells cottage?

No extra charge for seasonal homes. The install takes the same 3-4 hours whether the home is year-round or seasonal. We do recommend battery-backup models for cottages near Wells Beach that may sit unoccupied for weeks at a time.

Does Maine property tax relief help with stairlift costs?

Not directly, but Maine offers a Property Tax Fairness Credit (up to $1,500 for residents 65+) and a Homestead Exemption ($25,000 off assessed value). The MaineHousing Home Accessibility and Repair Program provides grants specifically for home modifications including stairlifts.

How long does stairlift installation take in Wells?

Most straight-rail installs take about 3 hours from arrival to final testing. Curved-rail installs take 4-5 hours after the custom rail arrives — typically 2-3 weeks after the laser measurement. The rail bolts to the stair treads, not the wall, so there's no drywall work, no painting, and no structural change to your home.

Can you install a stairlift in an 18th-century Cape house in Wells?

Yes. Wells has several Early Cape houses, and we've installed in homes like them. The rail bolts to the stair treads, not the wall, so historic plaster and original wide-pine woodwork stay completely intact. The narrow staircases common in these homes — some just 30 inches wide — work with our slim-rail straight lift, which folds to 11 inches when parked.

Do you serve all Wells neighborhoods, including the beach communities?

Yes. We install from Drakes Island and Moody Beach to Highpine, Coles Corner, and Wells Branch, including the seasonal cottages near Crescent Beach and Wells Beach. Our install team is based in southern Maine and covers the entire Wells coastline plus the inland sections along Route 109.

Will a nor'easter or winter storm affect the stairlift?

Every stairlift has a 4Ah battery backup that runs the lift for roughly 6 hours after a power cut — useful when a nor'easter knocks out power. Outdoor lifts on Wells beachfront porches use IP55-rated components with marine-grade seals, and the rail is powder-coated against salt corrosion. In freeze-thaw conditions, the rail and carriage operate normally.

Can the VA HISA grant cover a stairlift in Wells?

Yes. The HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) grant provides up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans and $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans. The medical-necessity sign-off goes through the Portland VA Clinic at 151 Jetport Boulevard, Portland, ME 04102, or the Togus VA Medical Center at 1 VA Center, Augusta, ME 04330. The grant is one-time and tax-free.

Does MaineCare cover stairlift installation?

Yes, through the MaineCare Home and Community Benefits (HCB) Waiver for the Elderly and Adults with Disabilities — Section 19 — which covers Environmental Modifications. You must be MaineCare-eligible and assessed at a nursing-home level of care. For help applying, contact the Southern Maine Agency on Aging at 207-396-6500 (30 Barra Road, Biddeford, ME 04005).

What is the MaineHousing Home Accessibility and Repair Program?

MaineHousing provides grants to low-income homeowners for accessibility repairs including stairlifts. You must have owned and lived in the home for at least one year. These are grants, not loans — no repayment required. Apply through MaineHousing at 1-800-452-4668 or your local Community Action agency.

Are there York County-specific programs for stairlift funding?

Yes. The Southern Maine Agency on Aging (SMAA) at 30 Barra Road, Biddeford connects Wells seniors with local resources. Habitat for Humanity York County runs an Aging in Place program offering no-cost home safety checks and minor accessibility work for eligible low-income seniors.

A word from Luis

I've installed stairlifts in just about every kind of home Wells has — from 1740s capes near the Webhannet River to newer colonials up in Highpine. The older homes stay with me. Original wide-pine floors, narrow staircases, sometimes a tight turn at the landing. The rail bolts to the treads, so the historic woodwork never gets touched.
For the beach cottages at Moody Beach and Drakes Island, we use the outdoor-rated lifts with marine-grade seals. Salt air eats ordinary metal in two seasons out here. Inland, off Coles Corner and along Route 109, it's mostly straight rails on uniform staircases — clean, fast installs.
