Illinois Home Elevators

Every day brings moments when stairs become an obstacle. Carrying laundry between floors, helping a family member recover from surgery or simply moving freely through your own home can all become easier when you have a home elevator installed. A home elevator from Residential Elevators changes how you experience your multistory home, making everyday tasks simpler and your space more functional.

How a Home Elevator Transforms Daily Living

Illinois homes often feature multiple levels, from Chicago's classic two-flats and greystones to suburban split-levels. An elevator turns these vertical spaces into usable space you can enjoy without the effort of climbing stairs. You'll notice the difference a home elevator makes for:

• Laundry and household tasks: Move loads between floors in one trip instead of making multiple climbs with heavy baskets.
• Aging in place: Parents and grandparents can remain in homes they love without relocating due to mobility changes.
• Injury recovery: Temporary conditions like knee surgery don't force you to live on one floor for weeks.
• Growing families: Young children, strollers and family gear move between floors safely and easily.

Three Elevator Systems to Choose From

We manufacture each elevator at our facilities and customize every system to fit your home's specific layout:

• Hydraulic elevators: A piston and pump system powers these reliable elevators, suitable for homes with space for hydraulic components.
• Traction elevators: Using a counterweight method, these systems offer smooth and quiet operation between floors.
• Pitless elevators: The Level is our pitless option. It installs without excavating a pit, simplifying installation in existing homes.

Each system accommodates up to 950 pounds and fits within 15 square feet. You can also select finishes, lighting and interior features that match your home.
