Buildings in Reading

Downtown Reading

In Reading, we see three common residential paths: compact hydraulic or traction home elevators in a dedicated shaft, machine-room-less units for new construction, and platform lifts where space is tight.

We coordinate permits and inspection with the Department of Labor & Industry so your home elevator is approved and ready to use.

Seasonal swings, rain and humidity make pit drainage and corrosion checks part of routine maintenance.

FAQ

Reading elevator questions

Do home elevators in Pennsylvania need inspection?

Yes — residential elevating devices must meet the elevator safety code (ASME A17.1 / CSA B44) and local requirements administered by the Department of Labor & Industry, and usually need a building permit.

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

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

How quiet is a modern home elevator?

Modern residential drives are designed for quiet operation; the exact sound level depends on the drive type and installation.

Are platform lifts safe for daily use?

Yes, when installed and maintained to code. They're a good fit for step-free access over a few levels.

How long does a home elevator installation take?

Timelines depend on construction work for the shaft and permits; the elevator installation itself is usually a matter of weeks once the shaft is ready.
