Many homeowners in Skokie, Glenview, Park Ridge and Des Plaines 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.

We coordinate permits and inspection with the Office of the State Fire Marshal (with the City of Chicago for Chicago buildings) so your home elevator is approved and ready to use.

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

FAQ

Evanston elevator questions

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.

Do you service condominium elevators in Evanston?

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

Can a home elevator be added to an existing house?

Often yes, by building a shaft within closets or stacked spaces, or adding an exterior shaft. A site visit tells you what's practical.

Can you match the cab to our interior?

Yes. Panels, ceilings, lighting, flooring and handrails can be selected to match your home, within the car's weight limits.

How quiet is a modern home elevator?

Modern residential drives are designed for quiet operation; the exact sound level depends on the drive type and installation.

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 Evanston project.
Only licensed or registered elevator contractors and mechanics may install, alter or maintain elevators where the state requires it.
