Customizable Home Elevators in Cape May, NJ
Inclinator® has specialized in creating accessible homes while respecting architectural heritage for almost a century. By providing home elevators in Cape May, we help property owners retrofit Victorian treasures and modern condominiums. Whether you own a Queen Anne Victorian on Columbia Avenue, a Second Empire home near Congress Hall or a modern condominium in Wildwood Crest, we deliver safe, reliable accessibility.
All Inclinator elevators are built to meet ASME A17.3-2016 safety standards for residential elevators. You can also enjoy the following benefits:
- Historic preservation expertise: Our compact elevator designs integrate into historic properties while maintaining period details, ornate woodwork and architectural integrity that defines the Historic District.
- Space-efficient design: Victorian homes often feature narrow floor plans and limited closet space. Our residential elevators require minimal square footage, fitting into existing structures without extensive modifications.
- Property value protection: A properly installed elevator enhances accessibility while preserving the historic features that make Cape May properties valuable, appealing to buyers who appreciate both heritage and modern convenience.
SINCE 1924
Our Five-Step Process
The following straightforward process is how we take a residential elevator from design to installation:
Step 1: Consultation & Planning
- Homeowner: Contact your local dealer and share any existing home plans or project details, whether you’re retrofitting a Victorian home in the Historic District, updating a property near the Washington Street Mall or installing an elevator in a Wildwood Crest condominium.
- Dealer: Conduct an onsite consultation (or architectural drawing review) to recommend the best drive system and hoistway layout for your Cape May area property.
Step 2: Design Selection & Quote
- Homeowner: Select your design finishes, including cab style, gates and accessories that work beautifully in Cape May’s Victorian architecture or modern coastal condominiums.
- Dealer: Provide a quote based on your specific selections.
Step 3: Technical Drawings & Permits
- Homeowner: Review and approve hoistway drawings with your contractor and secure necessary Cape May building permits and Historic Preservation Commission approval (if applicable).
- Dealer: Create hoistway drawings with all necessary requirements, and review with homeowner and contractor.
Step 4: Construction & Inspection
- Homeowner: Have hoistway built by your contractor to match approved hoistway drawings – including flush door requirements and specifications that respect Cape May’s historic architecture or modern condominium construction standards.
- Dealer: Coordinate with contractor during construction phase to ensure hoistway is being built per the drawing requirements and inspect hoistway after completion.
Step 5: Installation & Handoff
- Homeowner: Attain completed permit paperwork (if applicable), and attend the final review to learn how to operate and maintain your new elevator.
- Dealer: Install elevator, perform safety testing, demonstrate proper operation and ensure that applicable elevator permit requirements have been satisfied.
