Custom Home Elevators in Princeton, NJ
For almost a century, Inclinator® has built residential elevators in America, providing Princeton properties with accessibility solutions, including historic stone estates and century-old homes that require design-sensitive dealer installations. This area features architectural landmarks where home elevators must integrate with existing structural elements.
Historic Princeton estates built from stone, brick and timber present specific installation considerations. Our residential elevator systems address these requirements with:
- Historic structure compatibility: Our dealers coordinate with structural engineers to ensure that hoistway construction preserves the building’s integrity.
- Built-in safety: Code-compliant gates and emergency battery-powered lowering and lighting ensure compliance with ASME A17.3-2016 standards across all elevator models.
- New construction and retrofit capabilities: Our elevators accommodate retrofit installations that fit within existing historic Princeton homes, and they also work with new construction projects.
