For homeowners and families

Staying In The House You Chose In Florence

Most people cannot name the product they need, and there is no reason they should. Point at the part of the house that has become difficult and we will tell you what goes there.

Individuals & families

Which Part Of The House Is The Problem In Florence?

Point at a room.

1 2 3 4 5

The front door

Steps up to the door, a threshold that catches a wheel, a door too heavy to hold open.

The stairs

The bedroom and the proper bathroom are upstairs, and the stairs have become a decision several times a day.

The bathroom

Getting in and out of the bath or shower, and standing up again. Most falls at home happen in this room.

Moving around inside

Getting out of a chair without help, and getting from room to room without holding the furniture.

Getting in the car

The chair will not go in the trunk, or getting into the seat has become the hard part of every trip.

For school districts and transit agencies

Keeping Lifts And Bus AC Running In Florence

Wheelchair lift preventive maintenance, securement service and bus air conditioning, scheduled in your yard around your routes, with a digital record per unit rather than per bus.

Government & transit

On A Bus, This Is What We Get Called About

Districts and agencies around Florence call us about three things. Point at whichever is costing you buses.

1 2 3

The air conditioning system

Roof units front and rear, working hardest on short routes where the door opens every few minutes. It is usually the first thing to fail in May, and the students who cannot tell you they are overheating are the ones sitting under it.

The wheelchair lift

Cycled several times a day by drivers who were trained once. Most failures we find are wear and adjustment rather than a broken part, which is exactly what preventive maintenance catches.

Securement inside

Tracks, retractors, and occupant restraints. Worn webbing and the wrong attachment point are the two things we find most, and neither shows up until it matters.

For care communities and senior living

Everything That Moves A Resident In Florence

Ceiling track and patient lifts, resident mobility equipment, bathing and adult changing, building access, and free on-site tune-up clinics for equipment residents already own.

Healthcare & senior living

Which Part Of The Community Is The Problem In Florence?

From the front door to the shuttle in the lot. Point at whichever is causing you trouble.

1 2 3 4 5

Entrances and common areas

Doors a resident cannot pull open, thresholds that catch a caster, a few steps into a dining room or activity space.

Resident rooms

Transfers between bed, chair, and bathroom. This is where staff injuries come from, and where the right equipment pays for itself twice.

Bathing and changing

The room where most falls happen, and where adult changing needs are the gap families notice first.

What residents use daily

Chairs, scooters, walkers, and seating, whether the facility owns them or the resident brought them from home.

Getting residents out

Appointments, outings, and family visits. The bus or van is part of the building as far as a resident is concerned.

For drivers and passengers

Getting In The Car, And Driving It, In Florence

Hand controls, left foot accelerators, passenger brakes, transfer seating, wheelchair and scooter lifts, securement, and wheelchair accessible vehicles. Most people assume they have to buy a van. Usually they do not.

Vehicle & driving solutions

Wheelchair accessible vehicles

A Wheelchair Accessible Van For Under $40,000

A wheelchair accessible minivan cost about $40,000 three years ago. Today it is $70,000 and up.

So we stopped selling them. Instead you buy a high-roof van from a dealer at a normal price, and we install the wheelchair lift and securement for under $12,500. Most people end up between $32,500 and $42,500 for everything.

Who We Work With In Florence

Six different people find this page looking for six different things. Start with whichever one is you.

01

Homeowners and families

Stairlifts, ramps, grab bars and bathroom safety so somebody can keep using the whole house. Free survey at your address, and a written quote before anything is ordered.

02

Often organizing this from another state for a parent who did not ask for help. We will talk to you, survey the house, and tell you honestly what is needed and what is not.

03

Veterans and the VA

A federal contractor and approved vendor to the VA. We cannot tell you what the VA will pay for, only what we have supplied before, and how to request us by name.

04

School districts and transit

Wheelchair lift preventive maintenance and bus air conditioning, scheduled in your yard around your routes, documented per unit rather than per bus.

05

Care and senior living

Ceiling track, patient lifts, resident equipment and free on-site tune-up clinics for equipment residents already own, whoever sold it.

06

Businesses and public buildings

ADA audits with measured findings and a costed path, plus the work itself: ramps, door operators, platform lifts and accessible counters.

Worth knowing before you call anybody

How South Carolina Regulates This Equipment

The state elevator program exists, and single-family homes are written out of it.

This state licenses and inspects elevator work in commercial and public buildings and specifically excludes private residences. A stairlift, platform lift or home elevator in a single-family house therefore sits outside the state program. That does not mean nothing applies: local permits and a general contractor or home improvement license often do.

Local permits are the thing to check here, not the state program.

Where a local building permit applies, we pull it rather than leaving it to you.

This is our own licensing review rather than legal advice, and rules change. We confirm the current requirement for your address before we quote.

  • Licensing held in our own name
  • Not borrowed from a subcontractor
  • Permits and inspection handled by us
  • Confirmed for your address before quoting

What People In Florence Ask

Turn a card over.

What A Stairlift Or Ramp Costs In Florence

We will not publish a number, because the honest one depends on your staircase and your entrance. What we can do is tell you exactly what moves it, so you can judge a quote from anybody.

100 Effect on price

Straight or curved

The biggest factor on a stairlift by a distance. A straight rail is cut from stock and fitted in two to four hours. A curved rail is manufactured to your staircase, which takes three to five weeks and costs substantially more.

80 Effect on price

Rise and run

A ramp is priced by length, and length is set by the rise. Roughly twelve inches of run per inch of rise, plus landings. Past about two feet, a platform lift usually takes less room and less money.

60 Effect on price

Site preparation

A concrete pad, a power run, or blocking behind a wall. This is where a job gets longer as well as dearer, and it is what a photograph on a website can never tell you.

50 Effect on price

Capacity and seating

Lifts run from 300 lb to 600 lb, and clinical seating on a power chair is frequently more than the chair under it. Both are specification rather than upsell.

35 Effect on price

Indoor or outdoor

Weather-rated equipment costs more and is not optional outside. An indoor unit put outdoors fails within a season and we will not fit one that way.

The survey is free, the quote is written, and the price you agree to is the price of the job. Sometimes the honest answer is a two hundred dollar grab bar rather than a twelve thousand dollar lift, and we will say so.

The Manufacturers Behind The Work

Authorized dealer relationships across stairlifts, elevators, platform lifts, vehicle equipment, driving controls, securement, bus air conditioning, power mobility, and home medical. Carrying this many lines is what lets us match equipment to a situation instead of the other way around.

How The Work Happens

Five steps. You can stop at any of them, and nothing is charged until you have said yes to a written scope.

  1. 1

    You tell us what is difficult

    Not what product you think you need. The stairs, the front step, the bath, getting into the car. Working out the product is our job.

    A call, not a sales pitch
  2. 2

    We come out and measure

    On site, at your address, free. We check the space, the power, and the structure, and we talk through how the room actually gets used.

    Free, and no obligation
  3. 3

    You get it in writing

    An itemized scope and a price, with the lead time stated honestly. The price you agree to is the price of the job. Take as long as you like with it.

    The price does not move
  4. 4

    Our technicians install it

    Our own people, not a subcontractor, who stay until everyone who has to operate it can operate it confidently.

    Our own crews
  5. 5

    We service it afterward

    The company that installed it is the company that maintains it. You are not handed to somebody else once the invoice clears.

    Same company, years later

Questions From Florence

Do you install stairlifts in Florence?

Yes, straight, curved and outdoor. A straight lift is two to four hours in a single visit. A curved rail is manufactured to your staircase, which takes three to five weeks and then one day to fit. Permits in Florence County are pulled by us rather than left to you.

Do you sell scooters and power wheelchairs in Florence?

Yes, and we fit them to the person rather than sell them off a shelf. Our ATPs and CRTS handle seating and positioning, which is what decides whether a chair gets used or abandoned in a hallway.

Can you build a wheelchair ramp?

Yes. Modular aluminum that installs fast and comes back out, or permanent construction. A compliant ramp needs roughly twelve inches of run per inch of rise, so we measure before promising anything.

Will you service equipment you did not sell?

Usually. Send us the make and model. If the original installer has gone out of business, that is a call we take often and can normally pick up.

Is there a charge for the survey?

No. All consultations, estimates, and scopes of work are provided completely free of charge, with no pressure or obligation. Sometimes the honest answer is a two hundred dollar grab bar rather than a twelve thousand dollar lift.

Do you work with the VA?

Yes. We are a federal contractor and approved vendor to the VA. We cannot tell you what the VA will pay for, only what we have been contracted to supply before.

How do I get a price?

Tell us what has become difficult and we come out and measure. The price arrives in writing with the lead time stated honestly, and the price you agree to is the price of the job.

The Credentials Behind The Work

Anybody can sell equipment. Installing it legally, configuring it clinically, and servicing it afterward takes credentials that have to be earned and kept current. Here is what our team holds.

Elevator Mechanic

State Elevator Mechanic Licenses

Licensed elevator mechanics, state by state. Residential elevators and platform lifts are regulated work in most jurisdictions, and this is the license that makes it legal to do.

ATP

ATP, Assistive Technology Professional

RESNA-recognized credential for evaluating a person's needs and specifying the assistive technology that fits. This is who you want configuring a power chair or a seating system.

CRTS

CRTS, Complex Rehab Technology Supplier

The credential for supplying individually configured complex rehab. It is what separates a supplier who works alongside your clinical team from one who ships a box.

CAPS

CAPS, Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist

Training in modifying a home so someone can stay in it. It is the difference between installing equipment and understanding the house it goes into.

MSE

Mobility Service Excellence

Industry service certification covering installation, maintenance, and repair standards across mobility equipment.

EPA 609

EPA Section 609

Federal certification for handling refrigerant in vehicle air conditioning. It is required to legally service a bus AC system, and it is why fleet work is something we can actually take on.

Mason is a wonderful service technician! We live in “rural country” of NE Georgia and he drove all this way to get my Dad’s chair lift up and running. Thank you, Mason AND Custom Mobility!
