Home elevators in York, PA
York's stately brick homes in Spring Garden, the colonials in West Manchester, and the new construction south toward Shrewsbury all take a home elevator differently. We have installed shaftless Pollocks, PVE tubes, and finished Savaria cabs across York County, and the elevator with wainscoting on this page is one of ours.
Which elevator fits a York home
Existing two-story home, minimal construction: the Pollock shaftless elevator or a PVE. Both travel through a floor opening with no hoistway, pit, or machine room, and go in within days once the opening is cut. New build or major renovation: the Savaria Eclipse in a framed hoistway, finished to match the house. Wheelchair user: the PVE52, the Pollock in its large size, or a Savaria cab sized to the chair.
Pennsylvania does not require state inspection of residential elevators, though a township building permit may apply to the opening or hoistway. We provide the drawings and handle the permit.

Shaftless, pneumatic, and traditional. We tell you which fits the house and the budget, not which has the highest ticket.

How a York elevator project runs
A free site visit (or plan review for new construction), a written quote that separates the elevator from the site work, coordination with your contractor or ours for the floor opening or hoistway, installation by our crew, and a walkthrough. Shaftless and pneumatic projects usually ride within six to ten weeks of the order; traditional elevators take a few months because the hoistway has to be built first. See compare home elevators for the full table.

Home elevators in York: common questions
How much does a home elevator cost in York?
Shaftless and pneumatic elevators are the lowest-construction route and land in the range of a new car installed. Traditional elevators cost more because of the hoistway. We quote both the elevator and the site work in writing after a visit.
Can an elevator go in an existing York rowhome or brick two-story?
Yes. Stacked closets or a corner of the living room and the bedroom above are the usual spots for a Pollock or a PVE. We check the floor framing and ceiling heights at the visit.
Do you handle the permit?
Yes. We prepare the drawings and file the township building permit when one is needed. Residential elevators are exempt from Pennsylvania state inspection.
Do you service elevators in York?
Yes, ours and most other residential brands. Elevator service calls are a flat $295 plus mileage, and annual service plans are available.
