At Paramount Living Aids, we set the standard as a leading stairlift company committed to ensuring your home remains a place of comfort and accessibility without the worry of mobility limitations.
Philadelphia is a city of rowhouses, and its staircases are famously tight. From the narrow winder stairs of a Trinity house to the steep flights in South Philly, Fishtown, and Germantown rowhomes and the hilly streets of Manayunk and Roxborough, getting between floors can be one of the hardest parts of staying at home. We help Philadelphia residents keep their independence with stairlifts engineered to fit the compact, winding staircases that define the city’s homes.
Stairlift Company in Philadelphia, PA
Philadelphia homes need a tailored approach more than almost anywhere, and that is exactly what we provide. We fit indoor stairlifts for narrow rowhome staircases, outdoor stairlifts for the front stoops found on nearly every block, and custom curved stairlifts for the pie-shaped winder stairs in Trinity houses and the turned staircases in twins and brownstones. If your stairs have a turn, a landing, or very little width, a custom rail is built to match them precisely.
Standard features of our stairlifts include:
- Padded seat and backrest for comfort
- Compact design that folds flat when the lift is not in use
- A seat belt on every lift for added safety
- Swivel seat for safer, easier exit at the top and bottom of the stairs
- Safety sensors that stop the lift if it meets an obstruction
- Simple, user-friendly controls and remotes
- A smooth, quiet, and secure ride
- Straight and curved models for both indoor and outdoor use
- Higher weight-capacity options for heavy-duty needs
- Choices to fit a range of budgets
Cost is an understandable concern in any Philadelphia home. A basic straight stairlift is typically installed for around $3,500, while the custom curved lifts that many city staircases require generally run from $12,000 to $15,000 depending on the rail. Used and rental straight lifts are also available. We will help you find a lift that fits your budget without sacrificing safety or quality.
Expert Stairlift Installation by Factory-Trained Technicians
Every Philadelphia installation is performed by our factory-trained technicians, which is especially important given how tight and varied city staircases are. We keep standard straight rails in stock for quick scheduling, and we coordinate timelines for families bringing a loved one home from Penn Medicine, Jefferson Health, or Temple Health hospitals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover all of Philadelphia?
Yes. We install and service stairlifts across the city, including South Philadelphia, Fishtown, Manayunk, Roxborough, Chestnut Hill, Germantown, Mount Airy, Queen Village, Society Hill, and the Northeast.
Can a stairlift fit the narrow winder stairs in a Trinity or rowhouse?
Yes, and this is one of our specialties. Trinity houses and many rowhomes have pie-shaped winder stairs with very little width. We build a custom curved rail shaped to your exact staircase so the lift follows the turns safely. A standard straight lift needs about 28 inches of width, and we measure carefully before recommending an option.
My Philadelphia rowhome has very tight stairs. Is there still a solution?
Almost always. Our seats fold flat to roughly 12 inches from the wall when not in use, leaving room for others to pass, and curved rails can navigate tight turns. We will assess your specific staircase during the free in-home visit.
How quickly can you install a stairlift in Philadelphia?
Standard straight lifts are often installed within a few business days because we stock those rails. Custom curved lifts for winder stairs take longer to build. If you are coordinating a hospital discharge, tell us your timeline and we will do our best to meet it.
What does a stairlift cost in Philadelphia?
A basic straight stairlift is usually around $3,500 installed. Because many city staircases need a custom curved lift, expect roughly $12,000 to $15,000 for curved rails depending on the configuration. Used and rental options are available, and every quote follows a free in-home assessment.
Do you repair stairlifts other companies installed?
Yes. We service and repair Bruno, Acorn, and Brooks lifts throughout Philadelphia, even if you did not buy the lift from us.
Do you offer outdoor stairlifts for Philadelphia stoops?
Yes. Front stoops are everywhere in Philadelphia, and our weather-resistant outdoor lifts make those entrance steps safe in every season.
Will the lift work during a power outage?
Yes. Our lifts run on rechargeable batteries and stay plugged in to recharge between uses, so they keep working during an outage and make about 10 trips on a single charge.
