FAQ
Yes — residential elevating devices must meet the elevator safety code (ASME A17.1 / CSA B44) and local requirements administered by Cal/OSHA's Elevator Unit (Division of Occupational Safety and Health), and usually need a building permit.
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.
Modern residential drives are designed for quiet operation; the exact sound level depends on the drive type and installation.
Cost depends on the lift type, number of stops, shaft work and finishes — a platform lift is usually the most economical, a full home elevator with custom cab the most involved. We quote after a site visit.
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.
