Stairlifts and Mobility in the Lowcountry

  • 6stairlift and mobility companies
  • 3based locally

Sun City and the Okatie area have a median resident age near 69, and Hardeeville's 55+ communities keep filling in, so many owners here are planning to stay put as they get older. Much of the work is the aging-in-place kind: stairlifts, ramps, grab bars, wider doorways and walk-in showers. Homes with a raised first floor, common near the water, often need a ramp or lift just to reach the front door.

Ask whether the company measures the stairs and doorways in person before quoting, and who services the equipment and how fast. The bigger stay-or-sell question is covered in remodel or move.

Ray's Take

Measure twice is old carpenter advice, and it holds here. I'd want somebody looking at the stairs, the landing and the nearest outlet before anybody quotes me a price over the phone.
