American Elevator installs and services residential and light commercial elevators and dumbwaiters, stairway chairlifts, vertical and inclined platform lifts.

The residential elevator has evolved from an ADA (Americans with Disabilities) need, to quickly becoming a common addition to the list of desired amenities in today’s primary home, vacation home, and townhome, flat or multilevel condominium. As building lots reduce in size, 3rd and 4th levels are added to floor plans. Empty nesters either retro-fit their existing home so that they may “age in place” or downsize to townhomes where they often require an elevator.

Builders who offer the elevator as an option are seeing a very high rate of upgrade.In fact, some builders watched prospective buyers walk away because they did not offer an elevator option. Vertical living requires you to traverse numerous flights of stairs and is considered inconvenient.

The elevator is a viable option for a large segment of the market. American Elevator is able to engage early in the planning stage and assist the architect to ensure a proper solution.

With our custom cab shop we can create an elevator cab that complements your interior design, or your builder can field finish. Options are available to address space limitations by using a hydraulic, winding drum, or a machine room less configuration.
