Compliance

Elevator rules in USA

Elevators in Illinois are inspected and permitted under the Office of the State Fire Marshal (with the City of Chicago for Chicago buildings); most US jurisdictions adopt ASME A17.1 / A17.3 as the safety code.
Inspection intervals and permit requirements vary by city and county, so we confirm the authority having jurisdiction for every Des Plaines project.
Only licensed or registered elevator contractors and mechanics may install, alter or maintain elevators where the state requires it.

FAQ

Des Plaines elevator questions

What maintenance does a home elevator need?

Regular preventive visits, set by the manufacturer and the elevator safety code (ASME A17.1 / CSA B44) requirements, keep it safe and quiet. We keep records for your files.

Do you service condominium elevators in Des Plaines?

Yes — maintenance, repairs, modernization and cab refurbishment for condominium buildings.

What are home lifts, and are they available in Illinois?

Home lifts include residential elevators and platform lifts installed in private homes. They are available across Illinois and must meet the elevator safety code (ASME A17.1 / CSA B44) and local inspection requirements.

Are platform lifts safe for daily use?

Yes, when installed and maintained to code. They're a good fit for step-free access over a few levels.

How much space does a home elevator need in Des Plaines?

It depends on the model. Many residential elevators fit within a small dedicated shaft; platform lifts need less. We measure and recommend options for your floor plan.

Many homeowners in Park Ridge, Mount Prospect, Glenview and Arlington Heights add an elevator during a renovation or a new build — to age in place, to make a multi-level home easier to live in, or simply for convenience. The right choice depends on the shaft space, the number of stops and how the lift will be used day to day.

After installation, a preventive maintenance plan keeps the lift quiet and dependable, with service records kept for your files.

Cold winters, road salt and grit wear door sills and tracks, and hydraulic cars slow down in unheated spaces.
