Adding An Elevator To Your Home

As baby boomers are entering retirement, more people are trying to make their homes work for them. Instead of moving to a smaller home or even moving into a retirement home, people in their 30s, 40s and 50s are following a trend called "aging-in-place." They are taking their home renovation projects or gut rehab, and doing things like adding an elevator. With additions like an elevator, if they face a handicap or disabilty in later years, they, and their home, will be prepared.

Same cost of a kitchen remodel.

Same cost of a kitchen remodel, and adds as much to resale value probably.

40 or 50k Man there are MUCH better ways, that will look just as good and cost far less I am in a wheelchair, and ive discovered the benefits of stacker lifts. They lift 2 to 3,000 lbs as apposed to 750lbs for "wheelchair" elevators. They are fast, safe and can be adapted very easily to fit inside or outside the home. Durability is unsurpassed. Maintenance?? so easy. reno's are too expensive, build it when building the home and youl save prob 40 to 50% (guessing) Thanks
