The timeline and cost of retrofitting a home lift(residential elevator)

The retrofitting process depends on the current layout of your home and the customization of your design. The following factors may also affect the cost of your Home Elevator installation. You can trust that at the end of the project, you will have a safe, dependable lift system for your property.

Factors that affect the timeline of a home elevator installation
At Residential Elevators, we strive for a smooth and convenient installation process for your elevator. These factors contribute to the length of time it takes to set up your lift system:
●The type of home elevator: Hydraulic elevators require a separate machine room, so depending on the set up of your home, selecting this option might require additional installation steps. We pride ourselves on a quality and safe installation process regardless of the type of elevator you choose.
●The age and design of the house: In some homes, the installers might need to carve out a dedicated space for the elevator. Stacked closets could streamline the process since the builder has a clean space to work. When working with contracting or construction companies, homeowners can be subject to extended timelines. At Residential Elevators, our authorized dealers and employees control the process every step of the way.

Factors that affect the cost of a home elevator installation
How much does it costs to install an elevator in your home depends on a few factors. Here are some things that influence the overall cost:
●The number of floors you have: Your property may only need an elevator from the main level to a second floor. Adding more floors to your elevator installation does not drastically increase the price that others may tell you.
●The customization of your cab: The materials you choose for your lift can affect the price. Working with our trained Manufacturers Representatives we can usually create a system within your budget.
●The labor costs: Your local elevator manufacturer will typically install your system`s equipment for you. They want to set up their products to comply with state safety regulations. When discussing options with your Manufacturers Representative, be sure to ask what labor costs are included in the final price.

●Direct or Middle Man? : Always ask if you are buying your home elevator direct from the manufacturer or through a middle man. While not all manufacturers install their own home elevators, know that dealing with Residential Elevators you are working our direct employee throughout your elevator project. For those markets that we do not service directly we have a specific select group of dealers who we have trained and authorized to sell and install our products. Dealing with a middle man can have a total cost of ownership impact to the life of your elevator.


You can add a maintenance service plan on your home elevator after the installation process. Inspecting your elevator regularly is essential for its continued safe operation. Choose a plan that guarantees your replacement parts and maintenance calls to your elevator manufacturer.
