Stair Lifts in St. Charles County, Missouri

Newer subdivisions: open foyers and split landings

If your two-story home has an open foyer staircase with a turn at the bottom, or a split landing halfway up, that usually calls for a curved rail; a split landing can occasionally be handled with two straight lifts if the rider can transfer safely, which is judged in person.

If your home is newer, there may be room at the top and bottom for the rail to continue past the last step, which lets the seat park clear of the hallway. That is worth planning deliberately rather than accepting the default position.

Older homes near Main Street and the riverfront

If your home is an older house near historic St. Charles, the staircase may be tighter, sometimes with a low ceiling at the top of the flight or a doorway right at the head of the stairs. Head clearance and the parking position become the two measurements that decide what is possible.

Ranch homes with basement access

If you live in a single-story ranch home, the only staircase may be the one to the basement. Basement flights can be steep, sometimes with a door at the top that swings over the landing. We check the door swing during the assessment because it changes where the lift can safely park.
