Built for Architects and Builders Who Need Predictable Outcomes

American Elevator supports professionals from early planning through turnover, with the documentation and coordination that keeps projects moving. We help reduce handoffs, tighten timelines, and protect inspection readiness.

AIA credits, design guides, and CAD drawings help your team align requirements early and reduce rework later.

We coordinate details that impact permitting, installation readiness, and state inspection, so your project stays organized from start to finish.

We help you plan early around shaft space, structural needs, electrical requirements, and finish coordination so elevator and lift integration stays clean through framing, rough-in, and final inspection.

From tight footprints to finished surfaces, we guide layout options, equipment selection, and install sequencing to keep disruption low and help the project move forward with fewer surprises.

What Our Clients Say About Our Work

Fantastic customer service with a reasonable response time. Jason, who was here today to provide maintenance, was the original installer and is so knowledgeable and helpful. Absolutely highly recommend this company.
—Maria C.

Excellent job on installation and maintenance. Highly recommended.
—Justin W.

They installed a Stannah lift in my home, so I can get to the upstairs after 10 years of no access. The whole process was smooth, with 1 day installation that left no mess or unfinished business. The installers thoroughly explained how to use the lift so I had no problems later. I love my new lift, and highly recommend American Elevator Co.

—Vera Forkner

We love our new Stannah Stairlift that we had installed for my 83-year-old mother, and many thanks to the folks at American Elevator of Atlanta for making it happen.

—Robyn Hootselle

Four projects with various configurations, and all were successful in every aspect. Thank you.

—Jeff C.

From our experience in the showroom to installation and service, American Elevator has been the best. I was referred to them by a friend after being “ghosted” by other companies who never returned my calls when requesting an estimate. Our sales consultant Curtis was always available to answer questions. Phone calls are answered promptly and it’s very easy to schedule annual servicing.

—Mickey H.

Shaft buildout with team led by Pablo was amazing! They arrived and left on time everyday during the 2 week build. Plastic walls hung and floors covered. House left clean everyday but on the last day I could not believe how clean. Everything we were sold by Curtis has been accurate.

—Laurie H.
