Old stairs, new solution
St. Petersburg's historic neighborhoods — the bungalows of the Old Northeast, the craftsman homes of Kenwood, the brick streets of Historic Uptown — were built when stairs were just stairs and nobody thought twice about climbing them. A century later, those same stairs are steep, narrow, and absolutely central to homes people love too much to leave. We specialize in fitting modern stairlifts to these old staircases without harming what makes the house special.
The rail mounts to the stair treads, not the walls — so your plaster walls, original woodwork, and vintage character stay untouched. Only small bracket holes in the treads, which fill invisibly if the lift is ever removed. We have fitted lifts on stairs far older and quirkier than yours, and we treat historic homes with the extra care they deserve.
Steep and narrow is our normal
Let us address the two worries every St. Pete historic homeowner has. Steep: stairlifts handle standard residential stair angles, including the steeper pitches common in 1920s construction. Narrow: the chair folds to just inches deep when parked, and we measure your narrowest point precisely. Between the two, headroom on steep stairs matters most — you sit higher than you walk — and we check it at every point of the ride path.
Beyond the historic core, St. Pete's mid-century ranch neighborhoods and waterfront two-stories get the same careful treatment: measured precisely, installed cleanly, explained plainly.
