"Wolverine Contracting Design + Remodel provided us with exceptional craftsmanship for our renovation. They weren’t our cheapest option but their unique cost-plus process of contracting, clear & transparent labor rates and discounts saved us thousands on our projects. We have never seen a company operate in this manner, but it just made complete sense to us, and it works extremely well. Along the way we were a bit indecisive and made a few changes which added work to the original scope, increased our budget and timeline, however Douglas immediately shifted into another gear and was able to incorporate our changes within the original design. He is extremely honest, trustworthy and knowledgeable of his trade. His communication skills and integrity were second to none. I don’t know how he handles all the stress, but he makes it look easy. All team members and subcontractors were respectful of us and our home and a pleasure to work with as well. We highly recommend Wolverine Contracting and will be contacting them for any future projects."

Yes, if accessibility is a priority, installing a home elevator is often a better choice than a stair lift. Elevators allow for the safe transport of people, items, and mobility equipment like walkers or wheelchairs between floors. While stair lifts are less expensive and easier to install, they don't accommodate mobility equipment, which can limit independence for those with reduced mobility.
Installing a home elevator takes between two and four weeks from the start of site preparation to the final inspection, depending on the complexity of your project and any specific modifications needed for your home. More complex installations that require significant structural adjustments can extend the timeline to several weeks or even months. Always consult with professional installers to get a detailed schedule tailored to your project requirements.
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure your elevator's safety and longevity. With proper care, your home elevator can remain operational for decades. Cable-driven models require cable replacement every five years to meet safety standards. Regular professional service and scheduled inspections address wear and tear, ensuring your elevator performs reliably over its lifespan.
Choosing an elevator type depends on your priorities. If you want to add a luxurious feature to your home, a glass, vacuum-powered, pneumatic elevator might be the right choice. If accessibility in a smaller home is a bigger concern, a simple vertical lift platform may be best. If you're retrofitting, a shaftless elevator or gearless traction elevator might be the best option.
Home elevators are safe when installed by licensed professionals who adhere to strict building codes and inspections. A comprehensive home inspection ensures that every component meets established safety standards. Incorporating additional safety overrides and advanced security devices further enhances operation, with some features costing an extra $2,500. These measures guarantee a reliable and secure system for your home.
Stair lifts cost between $2,000 and $20,000 and serve as an affordable alternative to home elevators, especially for individual mobility on stairs. However, stair lifts do not transport larger items or mobility equipment such as wheelchairs. Professional installation is required to ensure safe operation, and you should carefully assess your specific accessibility requirements before choosing between these options.
