Stair Ride

What Stair Ride does

Stair Ride Company is a privately held, family-owned home accessibility solutions provider headquartered in Warminster, Pennsylvania, founded in 1965 and operating under CEO Larry Gladstone. The company enables older adults and individuals with disabilities to age in place safely and independently across the Greater Philadelphia region, having served more than 7,000 clients over its 60+ year history. Its primary customer segments are older homeowners aging in place, individuals with temporary or permanent disabilities, and the family caregivers who typically initiate and fund the purchase. Service territory spans five Pennsylvania counties (Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware, Chester), New Castle County Delaware (Wilmington), and four New Jersey markets (Burlington, Camden, Trenton, Princeton).

The product portfolio covers stairlifts (straight, curved, and outdoor models), modular and portable aluminum wheelchair ramps, ADA-compliant bathroom modifications (barrier-free showers, accessible fixtures, non-slip flooring), grab bars, residential vertical platform lifts (VPLs), and vehicle-mounted scooter and wheelchair lifts. Stair Ride does not manufacture these products in-house but operates a multi-vendor partnership model with Harmar, Bruno, EZ-Access, Bestbath, Savaria, WingIts, and Moen. Safety features include battery backup on stairlifts and VPLs for power-outage reliability, intelligent obstruction sensors, ADA-compliant WingIts mounting hardware, and capacity ratings up to 350 lbs. All products are professionally installed by the company's own trained field staff.

Revenue is generated through one-time product sales (stairlifts priced $2,800–$5,000 depending on configuration), a recurring stairlift and ramp rental program with bundled service, and professional installation services included with each purchase. The go-to-market motion is consultative and sales-led: customers request a free home evaluation by phone (215-442-1531), website form, or in-person visit, and a trained field associate recommends a tailored solution set. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-consumer — no resellers or third-party channels — with trust signals anchored in 60+ years of regional reputation, CAPS-certified leadership, CEAC-trained field staff, and BBB, NAHB, and VGM credentials. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and no external funding, acquisitions, or institutional investor involvement is documented.
