Home Elevators in Montclair, NJ
Inclinator® has been building residential elevators in America for almost a century, bringing our expertise to Essex County homeowners. Montclair features established neighborhoods with Victorian and Colonial-era architecture, where home elevators provide retrofitted accessibility.
We follow ASME A17.3-2016 safety standards, ensuring our elevators meet these standards and offer safety features such as gates and emergency battery-powered lowering and lighting. Essex County homeowners also benefit from:
- Compact hoistway capabilities: Homes in this area often feature floor plans that require efficient designs. Our systems fit into compact footprints, serving up to six landings.
- Retrofit installation methods: Our elevators can accommodate existing structural elements, HVAC routing and electrical distribution rather than requiring extensive modifications to your home. This approach minimizes construction impact while delivering full accessibility between floors.
- Historic property compatibility: Upper Montclair and surrounding neighborhoods contain homes built between 1880 and 1930 with original details. Our installation process respects period architecture, allowing elevators to integrate discreetly without compromising exterior facades or interior millwork.
SINCE 1924
