Home Elevators in Germantown, MD
The original U.S. home elevator company, providing Germantown, MD, with space-saving, code-compliant elevators for nearly a century.
Benefits of Custom-Sized Elevators for Homes
We are the original home elevator company, and our mission is practical access for every household. We build elevators to fit the home so everyone can move independently and age in place. With our elevators, you can expect:
- Safe mobility: Standard safety measures include emergency stops, door interlocks and gate monitoring, with additional options based on the drive system.
- Better resale value: A home elevator broadens market reach to buyers focused on accessibility for themselves and their families, now and in the future, a valuable feature for properties in the competitive Montgomery County market.
- Space efficiency: Cabs max out at 15 square feet — well within regulatory limits — and require far less area than a typical interior staircase.
SINCE 1924
