What matters in Novi
Its Minor Home Repair program is administered by McKenna and includes eligible homeowners or mobile-home owners. The page does not expressly approve stairlifts.
Novi: Home Repair and Home Buying Programs ↗Its regional showroom is in Bloomfield Hills; confirm the model and appointment before visiting.
101 Mobility of DetroitThe City asks for requests by 3:30 p.m.; this is a scheduling instruction, not a promised stairlift installation date.
Novi: Inspection Portal ↗Costs & equipment choices
No verified Novi installation tariff was found in the reviewed pages. Use the following scopes to request written totals. A regional rental offer still depends on the available equipment and the assessed home.
Ask the assessor to show where the rail ends and the rider enters or exits. Price required functions and preparation separately from optional upgrades.
Lifeway Mobility Detroit · 101 Mobility of DetroitCompare the minimum commitment with the expected stay. Include delivery, fitting, service, removal and an extension if plans change.
Lifeway Mobility Detroit · Adaptive EnvironmentsNovi’s published repair route has income and ownership conditions. Establish whether the equipment can be considered before treating assistance as part of the budget.
Novi: Home Repair and Home Buying Programs ↗Start with the staircase, landing space and duration of use. If financial assistance is essential, contact the City program administrator before committing to equipment or assuming a grant will reduce the price.

The local details
Novi’s page gives McKenna’s program number as 248-596-0920. It lists income-qualified owners aged 18 or older and prioritizes repairs such as heating, wiring and roofs. Ask whether the proposed access improvement can enter the program and what documentation it requires.
The page refers to an upcoming service year without a clear year label. Confirm present intake and available funds. Its separate home-buying and foreclosure-counseling links do not establish an equipment grant for an existing home.
Novi: Home Repair and Home Buying Programs ↗Michigan LARA’s residential chairlift guidance preserves required local building and electrical permits even where the state elevator-installation exemption applies. Ask the installer to explain the applicable classification.
Novi Community Development can review project questions at 248-347-0415. Its forms page lists building and electrical applications separately. Send the equipment and any related alterations together so responsibilities do not fall between the lift supplier and another contractor.
Michigan LARA: Residential lift requirements ↗Novi: Community Development ↗Novi: Forms and Permits ↗Novi uses BS&A for inspection scheduling and replaces its former phone hotline with the portal. Contractors must register before first use; the City also provides a homeowner route.
Ask the responsible contractor to identify any inspection needed for the actual project, when it will be requested and who will resolve corrections. A delivery estimate alone does not answer when the complete job can be handed over.
Novi: Inspection Portal ↗Adaptive’s published program is for straight stairs. Lifeway’s Detroit rental page also lists a modular curved model, but says curved rentals are location-dependent. Ask the branch to confirm a suitable available unit and the complete fitted offer.
For a turning staircase, send photographs showing the landing and adjoining flights before comparing prices. Ask how the proposed rail serves the route and where the rider gets off. Do not treat an equipment list as confirmation that the home qualifies for that rental.
