Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Union County

Union County, PA

West Buffalo Township spreads across rural Union County, from Forest Hill and Tannertown on Buffalo Road to Cowan near the Mifflinburg line, with farm fields and woodlots threaded by Buffalo Creek. Along Hoover Road, near the 1882 Hayes Covered Bridge, older farmhouses have steep interior stairs with worn oak treads that suit a custom curved rail. Just south, Mifflinburg's Historic District holds rows of Victorian and Italianate homes, many with original narrow staircases and mid-flight landings. West toward Hartleton, ranch homes and 1960s-70s split-levels are most common, where a straight rail on carpeted stairs is the usual fit. We cover the whole township and the Mifflinburg area without a trip charge.

Verified Customer Reviews

Hear It From Your West Buffalo Neighbors

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

My mother has lived in the same farmhouse off Forest Hill Road for fifty years, and the stairs got to be too much. Luis came out, measured, and had the straight rail in a few days later. She cried the first time she went up to her bedroom again. The rail is quiet and the seat swivels at the top so she steps onto the landing safely.

Our Mifflinburg Victorian has a curved staircase with a 90-degree turn at the top, and I figured a stairlift would never fit. Luis measured with a laser, and two weeks later the custom rail was in. The seat parks neatly at the upper landing, out of the way. It took about five hours and my husband has used it every day since.

We have a small cottage near Tannertown with tile treads that get slick in winter. After my dad's hip replacement the stairs were a nonstarter. Luis put in a straight rail that bolts right to the treads and didn't touch the walls at all. Dad can get to the upstairs bathroom now without help, and they were done before noon.

We have a stone porch entry with six steps up to the front door, and winters here mean ice and snow packed onto those stones. Luis installed an outdoor stairlift rated for weather, and it's been through two central PA winters now and runs like new. The key lock keeps the neighborhood kids from playing on it.

My brother uses a wheelchair and couldn't access the second floor of our place out near Hartleton. The platform lift Luis recommended carries his chair right up the stairs, flat black deck with yellow edges so you can see the boundary. He can join the family upstairs now instead of being stuck on the ground floor.

Our 1970s split-level near the Mifflinburg line has carpeted stairs, and after knee surgery I couldn't trust them anymore. Luis bolted the rail through the carpet to the treads and the brown seat blends right in. Three hours start to finish, and we canceled our plans to move to a single-level place.

Common Questions

Everything West Buffalo 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 straight stairlift cost in West Buffalo Township?

A straight stairlift in West Buffalo Township runs from $2,800 installed. That includes the rail, seat, battery backup, and a 2-to-3-hour install. The price stays the same whether your staircase is on Forest Hill Road or near the Mifflinburg line, because we don't add travel charges anywhere in Union County.

How much is a curved stairlift for a Mifflinburg Victorian or older farmhouse?

Curved stairlifts start at $9,000 in this area. The rail is custom-bent to your staircase after a free on-site laser measurement, mapping every tread and turn before the rail is built to match. Older homes in West Buffalo Township and Mifflinburg's Historic District often need a curved rail because of mid-stair landings or 90-degree turns at the top.

Do you charge for the in-home assessment in West Buffalo?

No. The in-home assessment is free, with no obligation. Luis drives out to your property, takes measurements, answers questions, and leaves a written quote. There is no trip charge anywhere in Union County, including West Buffalo Township, Mifflinburg, Hartleton, and the surrounding rural roads.

Can I finance a stairlift instead of paying upfront?

Yes. Financing runs from $79 per month with no prepayment penalty, and we also accept credit cards and checks. The quote you get at the assessment is the final price, with no surprise fees added later. Most approvals come through the same day so the install isn't held up.

How long does stairlift installation take in West Buffalo Township?

Most straight-rail installs finish in 2 to 3 hours. Curved rails take 4 to 6 hours because the custom rail is already fabricated from the laser measurements taken earlier. Outdoor and platform lifts run 4 to 5 hours. We handle everything: mounting, wiring to a nearby outlet, testing, and a walk-through so you know how the controls work.

Does the installer need to modify my walls or flooring?

No. The rail bolts directly to the stair treads, not the wall. Drywall stays intact and flooring stays untouched. The motor runs off a standard wall outlet and draws about as much power as a television on standby. When the install is done, the only evidence is the rail and the seat.

Can you install a stairlift in a home with a landing halfway up?

Yes. If the landing is straight-through, where the stairs go up, hit a flat landing, then continue in the same direction, a single straight rail can span both flights. If the stairs change direction at the landing, that needs a curved rail. Either way, the rail follows your stair geometry exactly, which is common in the older Mifflinburg-area homes.

What happens during a power outage in West Buffalo Township?

Every lift we install has a DC battery backup that runs the seat for roughly 6 hours without wall power. In central Pennsylvania, where winter storms can knock down lines along rural roads, that battery keeps the lift usable through most outages. The battery recharges automatically when power returns, so it's ready for the next storm.

Does Pennsylvania Medicaid cover a stairlift in Union County?

Yes, through Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices (CHC) Waiver. CHC covers home modifications including stairlifts when they are medically necessary to keep a person in their home instead of a nursing facility. You must be enrolled in CHC and have a provider submit the modification request. Approval times vary, but home modifications are an established benefit under the waiver.

What VA benefits help veterans in West Buffalo Township get a stairlift?

The VA's HISA grant (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) provides up to $6,800 for veterans with a service-connected disability, or $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans. It is a one-time benefit, tax-free, and never repaid. The nearest facility is the Williamsport VA Clinic at 1705 Warren Avenue, Suite 304, Williamsport, part of the Wilkes-Barre VA Healthcare System.

Are there Pennsylvania state programs for seniors needing a stairlift?

Yes. The PA OPTIONS program, run through the local Area Agency on Aging, helps residents age 60 and older stay in their homes, and home modifications including stairlifts may be covered when they prevent nursing-home placement. The Union County Area Agency on Aging office in Lewisburg can walk you through eligibility alongside the CHC Waiver.

Does Medicare pay for stairlifts in Pennsylvania?

Medicare Parts A and B do not cover stairlifts, because they are classified as home modifications rather than durable medical equipment. Some Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans offer supplemental home-modification benefits, so it is worth checking your specific plan. For most Union County residents, the CHC Waiver, HISA grant, and OPTIONS program are the main funding paths.

A word from Luis

I've installed lifts in nearly every corner of West Buffalo Township, from the old farmhouses along Forest Hill Road and Buffalo Road out to the Victorians in Mifflinburg's historic district. A lot of these homes were built before 1920, with steep, narrow staircases that a modern curved rail can handle after a one-hour laser measurement right on the treads.
What surprises most families out here is the timeline. Even on a two-story farmhouse near the Hayes Covered Bridge with a mid-stair landing, we're usually done in three to four hours. The rail bolts to the treads, so there's no drywall work and no rewiring. Battery backup comes standard, which matters when a winter storm knocks out power along the rural roads. I know the housing stock here: the tight turns, the worn oak treads, the outdoor stone entries. Nothing we haven't solved before.

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Whether you live in a 19th-century farmhouse near the Hayes Covered Bridge or a 1970s split-level off Buffalo Road, the stairs don't change, but getting up them can. A stairlift lets you keep the home you've lived in for forty years instead of moving to a single-level rental in Lewisburg.

Most West Buffalo Township installs finish in a single morning, and the rail carries a lifetime warranty. Call (800) 965-0350 to book your free in-home assessment with Luis today.
