Park RidgeMount ProspectGlenviewArlington Heights

Many homeowners in Park Ridge, Mount Prospect, Glenview and Arlington Heights add an elevator during a renovation or a new build — to age in place, to make a multi-level home easier to live in, or simply for convenience. The right choice depends on the shaft space, the number of stops and how the lift will be used day to day.

We'll explain the options plainly — space, power, timelines and running costs — before you commit to anything.

Cold winters, road salt and grit wear door sills and tracks, and hydraulic cars slow down in unheated spaces.

Compliance

Elevator rules in USA

Elevators in Illinois are inspected and permitted under the Office of the State Fire Marshal (with the City of Chicago for Chicago buildings); most US jurisdictions adopt ASME A17.1 / A17.3 as the safety code.
Inspection intervals and permit requirements vary by city and county, so we confirm the authority having jurisdiction for every Des Plaines project.
Only licensed or registered elevator contractors and mechanics may install, alter or maintain elevators where the state requires it.

FAQ

Des Plaines elevator questions

What are home lifts, and are they available in Illinois?

Home lifts include residential elevators and platform lifts installed in private homes. They are available across Illinois and must meet the elevator safety code (ASME A17.1 / CSA B44) and local inspection requirements.

Can you match the cab to our interior?

Yes. Panels, ceilings, lighting, flooring and handrails can be selected to match your home, within the car's weight limits.

How much does a home elevator cost in Des Plaines?

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.

Can a home elevator be added to an existing house?

Often yes, by building a shaft within closets or stacked spaces, or adding an exterior shaft. A site visit tells you what's practical.

Do you service condominium elevators in Des Plaines?

Yes — maintenance, repairs, modernization and cab refurbishment for condominium buildings.
