Expert Stairlift Installation in Wildwood, MO

A straight stairlift install takes about 3 hours from arrival to cleanup. Curved units — pre-fabricated after the laser measurement — take about 4 to 5 hours. We bolt the rail directly to the stair treads, not the wall, so there's no drywall repair, no repainting, and no mess. The installer tests the lift, walks you through the controls, and hauls away all packaging.

No. The rail bolts to the treads, not the wall. For carpeted stairs, the brackets seat beneath the carpet pad, so there's no visible pull or tear. For hardwood or stone treads — common in older Wildwood homes — we use precisely drilled anchors with color-matched caps. If you ever remove the rail, the tread holes can be filled with wood putty or epoxy that blends in.

Yes. Every stairlift we install includes a DC battery backup. The batteries charge while the lift is parked and run it through a typical Missouri winter-storm outage — about 15 to 20 round trips on a full charge. During the January 2026 winter storm that dropped heavy snow across Wildwood, not one of our customers called about a dead lift.

Yes. In historic neighborhoods like Orrville, staircases are often narrower than modern code — sometimes as tight as 28 inches across. The seat folds up when not in use, leaving about 18 inches of clearance to pass. For curved staircases, a 1-hour laser measurement captures every turn, and the rail is custom-bent at the factory to fit on the first attempt.

Start with your VA primary care provider at the St. Louis VA Medical Center-Jefferson Barracks (1 Jefferson Barracks Drive, St. Louis, MO 63125, 314-652-4100).

Yes, through the Aged and Disabled Waiver administered by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. To qualify, you must be 63 or older, assessed as needing nursing-home-level care, and meet MO HealthNet financial eligibility. Home modifications including stairlifts are covered as an environmental accessibility adaptation. The St. Louis Area Agency on Aging can start the assessment.

Beyond MO HealthNet waivers, the St. Louis Area Agency on Aging has limited funding for minor home modifications — including grab bars, ramps, and in some cases stairlifts — for adults 60 and older in St. Louis County. These funds are limited and distributed first-come each fiscal year. Missouri's Assistive Technology Program also provides low-interest loans for home accessibility equipment.

Yes. We offer financing from $79/month through third-party lenders. Most approvals come through within 24 hours, and there's no prepayment penalty. Many Wildwood families choose financing even when they could pay cash — it keeps the monthly budget predictable. There's no hard credit pull until you decide to apply.
