Today’s residential elevators are high quality, low maintenance and are surprisingly affordable. They can be incorporated into the plans for new construction or retrofitted into an existing home. The addition of a residential elevator is truly the ultimate way to “age proof” any home, as it will eliminate the potential for access limitations created by physical disabilities.
Any builder will tell you, it is always cheaper to “build up” with a multi story plan than to “build out”, spreading the desired square footage over precious real estate. The cost of adding a residential elevator to a new construction floor plan can often be off-set by the savings realized on foundation and roofing materials! In addition, an elevator can be the ideal solution for building lots that are small or are limited by the requirements of shoreland setbacks.
Whether for luxury or necessity, a residential elevator is a practical addition that will add convenience and value to any home!
