Factors to consider before installing a home elevator

Before you retrofit your home for an elevator, here are some factors to consider to get the most out of your experience:

· Your future in your house: Your current dwelling may become difficult to live in as you age, depending on the number of floors and stairs between each floor. If mobility becomes an issue as you age, a Residential Elevator lets you remain in your home instead of moving to a single-story residence. If your goal is to remain in your home for as long as possible, installing an elevator now can be a smart move.

· Installation and construction time: Depending on the complexity of the project, the available space in your home and the installation option you choose, the timeline can vary. Typical industry installation processes can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks. At Residential Elevators, our goal is to make the installation process as smooth and convenient for you as possible. That`s why, from start to finish, our installation process takes two to three days. We`ll work with you to help you choose the time for your project that works best with your schedule.

· Space: You can put a new elevator anywhere that`s convenient for your floor plan. Many homeowners use stacked closets to allow vertical transportation from one level to the other. Residential Elevators can help you evaluate the space in your home to determine the most appropriate location for your new elevator.

· Electrical needs: You should also consider the electrical requirements of installing an elevator in your home. As Home Elevator installation experts, our team at Residential Elevators is well-versed in the code requirements in your area.

· Budget: Create a budget for your elevator installation before the project begins. We can help you choose the elevator that will work best with your budget while still meeting your mobility needs.

· Resale value: A home elevator can increase the worth of your house. If you plan on moving in the future, an elevator can be an attractive amenity to potential buyers. Homebuyers often prefer a move-in ready dwelling over one that needs work. Installing a residential elevator can make your property stand out on the market.

· Your family`s current and future needs: Your house should help you and all those who visit. Think about your family and the people who use your living space each day. Do you have loved ones with medical conditions? A home elevator can make it easier for those loved ones to move around and feel safe in your dwelling.
