Can a home elevator be installed in an existing home, or only during new construction?
Both are possible, and many Phoenix homeowners install home elevators as a retrofit. The best approach depends on where the lift can be placed and what structural considerations apply.
Is a residential elevator only for wheelchair users?
Not at all. Many people install one for convenience, injury recovery, or long-term accessibility planning. Elevators are helpful for anyone who finds stairs uncomfortable, risky, or limiting.
What kind of maintenance does it require?
Like any mechanical system, elevators benefit from routine checkups to keep them operating reliably. We’ll explain recommended service intervals and what a typical maintenance visit includes.
How do I know if an elevator is better than a stairlift for my home?
If multiple people in the household need access, or if you want a more universal long-term solution, an elevator can be the better fit. We’ll compare options based on mobility needs, layout, and how you use your home day-to-day.
