Home elevators in West Chester and Chester County
West Chester is where we install the widest range of elevators: PVE tubes in 1800s borough homes where a shaft could never be built, Pollocks in Downingtown two-stories, and glass Vuelifts and finished Savaria cabs in larger Main Line properties. Several of the elevators pictured on this site are in Chester County.
Elevators for historic and modern West Chester homes
Borough homes from the 1800s have the ceiling heights and open stairwells that suit a PVE: the tube stands in the stairwell or beside a balcony with no construction beyond the floor opening. Newer homes in Downingtown, Exton, and Malvern often get a Pollock through the floor. Larger properties and new construction take a Savaria Eclipse or Zenith in a framed hoistway, or a Vuelift as the centerpiece of a foyer.
Chester County buyers increasingly look for elevators in multi-story homes, so an elevator installed for accessibility also tends to hold value.

How we handle a Chester County project
West Chester is about an hour and a half from our shop, so elevator projects here are planned as multi-day visits. A free site visit or plan review, a written quote separating elevator and site work, coordination with your builder for the opening or hoistway, then installation by our crew: two to four days for a PVE or Pollock, longer for a traditional cab. Residential elevators are exempt from Pennsylvania state inspection; a borough or township permit may apply to the construction and we file it. Compare the models on the comparison page.
Drive time and scheduling
West Chester is about 95 minutes from our shop in Etters, PA. We group visits by area, so a free consultation in West Chester is usually available within a few days, and most straight stairlift installations happen within a week or two of the visit. Nearby towns we cover from the same route: Downingtown, Malvern, Exton, Kennett Square, Paoli, Media.

Home elevators in West Chester: common questions
Can an elevator go in an 1800s West Chester borough home?
Yes. A PVE is often the answer: self-supporting, standing in an existing stairwell or beside a landing, with a floor opening as the only construction.
Do you serve Downingtown, Malvern, and the Main Line?
Yes: Downingtown, Exton, Malvern, Paoli, Kennett Square, Media, and the greater Chester and Delaware County area.
How long does an elevator take in West Chester?
Six to ten weeks from order to ride for a PVE or Pollock, with a few days of installation. Traditional cabs follow the hoistway construction schedule.
Do home elevators add value in Chester County?
In multi-story homes, typically yes. Buyers planning to age in place look for them, and a finished cab reads as a feature rather than equipment.
