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.
Reading is our home. Our offices sit at 225 N. Kenhorst Boulevard, so for families across Reading and Berks County we are the local team, not a far-off call center. The brick rowhomes around Centre Park, the hillside houses below Mount Penn and the Pagoda, and the older twins in Hampden Heights and Riverside often have steep, narrow staircases and front stoops that make every trip up or down a worry. We install stairlifts that give you safe, easy access to every floor of your own home, and because we are minutes away, we can usually get to you quickly for both installation and service.
Stairlift Company in Reading, PA
Unlike companies that ship a one-size-fits-all lift, we measure and tailor each installation to your staircase. Reading is full of century-old homes with tight turns and short landings, so we fit a range of options including indoor stairlifts, outdoor stairlifts for porch and stoop steps, and custom curved stairlifts for the winding staircases common in Victorian and rowhome layouts. When stairs become a daily struggle, we make the whole house usable again.
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
We know cost matters. A basic straight stairlift in Reading is typically installed for around $3,500, while a custom curved lift generally runs from $12,000 to $15,000 depending on the rail. We also keep used and rental straight lifts on hand for tighter budgets and short-term needs. Our team will help you find a lift that fits your budget without giving up safety or quality.
Expert Stairlift Installation by Factory-Trained Technicians
Every lift we install in Reading is fitted by our own factory-trained technicians, who train directly with the manufacturers. Because we stock standard straight rails locally, many Reading and Berks County homes can be fitted within a few business days, which is a real help when a parent is coming home from Reading Hospital in West Reading and needs safe access before discharge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you install stairlifts throughout Reading and Berks County?
Yes. Reading is our home base, so we cover the whole city plus nearby Berks County towns including Wyomissing, West Reading, Shillington, Kenhorst, Sinking Spring, Wernersville, Exeter, Mohnton, Birdsboro, Hamburg, Kutztown, and Boyertown.
How quickly can you install a stairlift in Reading?
Because we are local and stock standard straight rails, many Reading homes can be fitted within a few business days of the in-home assessment. Curved and special-order lifts take longer. If you are coordinating with a discharge from Reading Hospital, let us know your timeline and we will do our best to meet it.
Will a stairlift fit the narrow, steep stairs in an older Reading rowhome?
In most cases, yes. A standard straight lift needs about 28 inches of stair width, and our compact seats fold flat when not in use. For homes with a turn or landing, a custom curved lift is built to follow your exact staircase.
Do you offer outdoor stairlifts for Reading porches and stoops?
Yes. Many Reading rowhomes and hillside homes near Mount Penn have front steps or porch stairs. Our weather-resistant outdoor lifts make those entrances safe in every season.
How much does a stairlift cost in Reading?
A basic straight stairlift is usually around $3,500 installed. Custom curved lifts generally range from $12,000 to $15,000 depending on the rail and options. We also offer used and rental straight lifts. Every quote follows a free in-home assessment with no obligation.
Do you repair stairlifts you did not install?
Yes. We service and repair Bruno, Acorn, and Brooks lifts across Reading and Berks County, even if another company installed them.
Does the stairlift attach to the wall?
No. Stairlifts are fastened into the treads of your stairs, not the wall. This is the safest mounting method and works in nearly every Reading home regardless of wall construction.
What happens if the power goes out?
Our lifts run on rechargeable batteries and keep working during an outage, making roughly 10 trips on a charge. The charger stays plugged in and tops the batteries off automatically between uses.
