Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Lehigh County

Lehigh County, PA

We install across Whitehall Township and its Lehigh County villages north of Allentown. Egypt, settled by German immigrants in 1728, holds the township's oldest homes — steep, narrow staircases that usually need a curved rail. Fullerton, the commercial hub around MacArthur Road, has the highest concentration of 1960s split-levels and colonials with standard straight runs. Hokendauqua and Cementon sit along the Lehigh River with older twins and compact capes. Stiles and Mickleys are quiet pockets of modest ranches and capes off Route 145. We also serve nearby Allentown, Catasauqua, Coplay, and Northampton.

From Whitehall Homeowners

Hear It From Your Whitehall Neighbors

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

Luis came to our Fullerton split-level off MacArthur Road and had the straight rail installed before lunch. My mother had stopped going upstairs to her own bedroom because the 1968 staircase was too much for her. The rail bolted right to the oak treads and the bottom hallway is still clear. He was in and out in three hours and showed her how to work it twice.

Our Egypt house was built in the 1920s — steep stairs, weird angles, no standard anything. Luis measured everything with a laser and the curved rail that came back three weeks later fit like it was poured into the staircase. It turns the mid-landing without touching the wall. My husband finally has his upstairs back.

We're in Hokendauqua and our cape's stairs are narrow — 30 inches wide with a turn at the bottom. Two other companies told us it couldn't be done. Luis bolted the rail through the stone treads, kept the clearance, and the seat folds flat when nobody's on it. My dad uses it every day and I can still get the laundry basket past it.

My father lives alone in Cementon and refused help for years. After he fell on the carpeted stairs last November, we called All American. Luis bolted the rail right through the carpet into the treads underneath — no cutting, no mess. The brown seat matches the carpet so well you barely notice it. Three hours, done.

The outdoor unit on our Mickleys porch survived the January storms without a glitch. Four steps down to the driveway used to be treacherous for my mother in winter — ice and snow every week. Luis anchored the rail into the stone stoop and sealed the motor. A full Lehigh Valley winter later, it still runs smooth.

My brother uses a wheelchair, and the platform lift Luis installed in our Stiles home changed everything. The flat black deck with yellow edges is easy for him to roll onto, and it folds against the wall when he's not using it. Rated for 600 pounds, it carries him and the chair without a wobble. He finally has the upstairs again.

Common Questions

Everything Whitehall 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 Whitehall Township?

A straight stairlift starts at $2,800 installed for a standard Whitehall Township staircase. That covers the rail, seat, battery backup, installation labor, and a walk-through of the controls. Curved lifts start at $9,000 because the rail is custom-bent, outdoor lifts start at $4,000, and heavy-duty models that carry up to 600 lb start at $5,050. The quote you get at the assessment is the price you pay.

How much does a curved stairlift cost in Whitehall?

A curved stairlift starts at $9,000. Curved rails are custom-bent to your exact stair shape after a one-hour laser measurement on site — common for the older homes in Egypt that turn 90 degrees at a mid-landing. There's no standard template for a curved stair, which is why it costs more than a straight rail cut to length.

Are there hidden fees in a Whitehall Township stairlift quote?

No. The price covers the rail, carriage, seat, battery backup, installation, cleanup, and a demo of the controls and safety sensors. The only optional add-on is an extended warranty beyond the standard 5-year coverage. We don't charge a trip fee for in-home assessments anywhere in Whitehall Township or the surrounding Lehigh Valley.

Does the price include the battery backup and warranty?

Yes. Every stairlift comes with a 4Ah battery backup that keeps the lift running for about 6 hours during a power outage — useful in Whitehall's winter storms. The standard warranty is 5 years on the lift plus a lifetime warranty on the rail. The battery and warranty are included in the installed price, not billed separately.

How long does stairlift installation take in a Whitehall home?

Most straight-rail installs in Whitehall Township take 3 to 4 hours from arrival to cleanup, including setup and testing. The rail bolts directly into the stair treads, not the wall, so there's no drywall work or rewiring. Curved rails take 5 to 6 hours because the custom rail needs precise alignment at every turn. The lift plugs into a standard 120V outlet.

Will the stairlift damage my stairs or walls in my Whitehall home?

No. The rail bolts directly into the stair treads, not the wall, so the drywall stays intact. If you ever remove the lift, the bolt holes in the treads fill with wood putty — the same repair you'd do for a moved handrail. There's no repainting and no structural change to the staircase.

Can you install a stairlift on narrow stairs in Whitehall?

Yes. We install on stairs as narrow as 28 inches, which covers the tight twin and cape stairwells common in Hokendauqua and Cementon. The slim carriage and folding seat preserve walkable clearance so family members can still pass on the stairs. For the steepest runs in Egypt's older homes, the seat self-levels so you're never leaning forward or back.

Do I need a permit from Whitehall Township for a stairlift?

No. A stairlift is accessibility equipment, not a structural modification — it bolts to the existing treads and plugs into an outlet. Under the Fair Housing Act, it's treated as a reasonable accessibility accommodation, and Whitehall Township does not require a building permit for a stairlift install. The lift can be removed without altering the home's structure.

Does the VA HISA grant cover stairlifts for veterans in Whitehall?

Yes. The VA's Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant provides up to $6,800 for veterans with service-connected disabilities, and up to $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans. It's one-time, tax-free, and never repaid. The nearest VA facility is the Allentown VA Clinic at 3110 Hamilton Boulevard in Allentown, part of the Wilkes-Barre VA Healthcare System. Your VA provider writes the medical-necessity statement, and we help with the paperwork. Call us at (800) 965-0350 to start.

Does Pennsylvania Medicaid cover stairlift installation in Whitehall?

Yes, through Community HealthChoices (CHC) — Pennsylvania's managed Medicaid long-term-services program, which folded in the former PDA/Aging Waiver in 2020. CHC can cover a stairlift as a home modification for eligible residents who meet the clinical need for nursing-facility-level care. Your CHC managed-care plan's service coordinator authorizes the modification after an in-home assessment. The Lehigh County Office of Aging and Adult Services in Allentown can help with the referral.

What other Pennsylvania programs help pay for a stairlift in the Lehigh Valley?

Beyond Community HealthChoices, the Lehigh County OPTIONS program serves residents 60 and older through the Area Agency on Aging. The PHFA Access Home Modification Program offers no-interest loans for accessibility improvements, and the PA Accessible Housing Program provides grants for income-eligible homeowners. We can point you to the right program at your assessment based on age, income, and veteran status.

Does Medicare cover stairlifts in Whitehall?

No. Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover stairlifts — it classifies them as home modifications, not durable medical equipment. Some Medicare Advantage plans offer a limited home-modification allowance, so it's worth checking your specific plan. For most Whitehall residents, the VA HISA grant and Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices waiver are the two main funding routes, with financing from $79 a month for anyone who doesn't qualify.

A word from Luis

Whitehall Township keeps me on my toes because every village is built differently. In Egypt, I'm dealing with staircases in homes that predate the township's cement boom — steep, tight angles that need a curved rail bent to match. In Fullerton, it's mostly 1960s split-levels off MacArthur Road where a straight rail goes in clean in about three hours.
I've put lifts into Cementon twins, Hokendauqua capes, Mickleys ranches, and a platform lift in Stiles that gave a wheelchair user his upstairs back. The rail bolts into the treads, not the wall, so there's no drywall repair afterward.
For funding, the HISA grant through the Allentown VA Clinic on Hamilton Boulevard covers up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans, and Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices Medicaid program can cover home modifications for eligible residents. Our straight-rail financing starts at $79 a month. I walk every family through the paperwork at the assessment.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Whitehall Township grew up around the cement and iron mills, and many of those mill-era and postwar homes are now lived in by the families who built their lives here. A stairlift keeps the upstairs in reach without trading the house for a single-floor apartment in Allentown.
