About our quote service

FAQ: Why pay for stairlift quotes?

How our $50 quote service works for homeowners in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky: what you pay for, what installers see, and how refunds work.

Why should I pay Cincinnati Stairlift Sales to get my quotes?

So you don’t pay too much, and so your phone stays quiet. Call one dealer and the first number you hear is the only one you have. Use a free quote site and your name, number and email can go to several dealers at once, followed by calls, texts and a push for an in-home sales appointment.

Our $50 turns that around. We ask local installers across Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky to quote the same stairs, and each one knows it is competing for the job. They see your stair details and photos, never your last name, phone number or email. We collect the prices and send them to you to compare at your own pace.

Our promise hasn’t changed: you get a minimum of 3 installer quotes, or every dollar of the fee back.

How does this keep me from overpaying for a stairlift?

It gives you something to compare against. We’ve seen some of the big national stairlift brands quote upward of $7,000 for a straight stairlift, a job that local Cincinnati-area installers often do for much less. If that were the only company you called, you’d have no way of knowing. With several quotes for your stairs in hand, a price that’s out of line is obvious.

Why do installers give better prices when they know they’re being compared?

Because they know you’re shopping. Local installers understand that a request from us goes to several companies at once, all pricing the same staircase. Nobody wants to lose a sale over a padded number, so each has good reason to lead with a competitive price rather than a high opening offer.

What’s in the quote comparison you send me?

A side-by-side summary, by email, of every quote we collected (up to 5), with your CSS-#### quote number. For each local installer it shows:

  • Their Google rating and number of reviews, plus a brief summary of those reviews
  • The price they quoted
  • The stairlift brand and model
  • Key features
  • Warranty coverage
  • Installation timeframe

A brochure comes with each quote, so you can read up on the stairlift itself.

Is the $50 fee really worth it?

Here’s how we look at it. A stairlift costs thousands, so accepting one inflated quote by mistake can cost you far more than our fee. Treat the $50 as inexpensive insurance: real prices from competing installers, no sales calls, and a full refund if we can’t find you at least 3 quotes.

What does the $50 include?

One flat fee covers the whole job. We review your request, contact local installers that serve your address with your stair details and photos, collect their quotes and email them to you, up to 5 quotes, with your quote number (CSS-####). Each quote includes:

  • Brand of stairlift
  • Features of the stairlift
  • Warranty information
  • Installation timeframe
  • A brochure for the stairlift
What if you can’t get me at least 3 quotes?

You get a full $50 refund. That’s our guarantee: at least 3 installer quotes, or your money back.

Will installers call me or come to my home?

No. Installers never get your phone number or email, so they can’t call, text or email you. No one comes to your home unless you invite them. When you’re ready, you call the company you like and give them your quote number.

What information do installers get about me?

Only what they need to price the job: your city and ZIP, your stair details and photos, and the rider details that affect fit (such as weight, height and mobility). Your last name, phone number and email stay with us.

Do you sell or share my information?

No. We don’t sell your personal information, and we don’t share your phone number or email with installers or marketers. We use your contact details only to send your quotes and, if needed, to ask you a question about your request.

Why do you need photos of my stairs?

Photos let installers price your stairlift without a sales visit. We ask for four: the bottom landing, the top landing, the narrowest point, and the nearest electrical outlet. A short video walking the stairs is optional and helps with curved stairs. Clear photos mean more accurate quotes.

How do I get my quotes?
  1. Fill out the quote form. It takes about 5 minutes on a phone, including the photos.
  2. Pay the $50 fee on the secure payment page.
  3. We review your request.
  4. We contact local installers that serve your area.
  5. We email you the quotes with your quote number.
What areas do you serve?

Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. We send your request only to installers that serve your address. If we can’t get at least 3 quotes for your home, you get a full refund.

Can I buy directly from the installer I choose?

Yes. Call the installer you like, give them your quote number and tell them the price you were quoted. You buy directly from them. We don’t sell, install or service stairlifts. Quotes are estimates; a site visit is required for a firm price.

Can I just use the installer directory instead?

Yes. The installer directory is free to browse, with each company’s location, services and Google rating, and you can contact any of them yourself. The $50 quote service is for when you’d rather have us collect the prices so installers never get your phone number.

How does payment work? Is it secure?

The review step of the form shows the $50 fee and our guarantee before you pay anything. You then pay on a secure payment page run by our payment provider, Zoho Payments. We never see or store your full card number. We start working on your request once your payment is received.

How do refunds work?

If we can’t get you at least 3 installer quotes, we refund the full $50. You can also ask for a refund before we start contacting installers: email info@cincinnatistairliftsales.com with your quote number.
