Freedom Elevators

Our traditional elevators work by traction drive or hydraulics and lift 950 lbs.

Our panoramic elevators stand alone, with no hoistway, a small footprint and a view all the way round. Drive is by winding drum or pneumatic vacuum.

  • From one passenger to a wheelchair-sized cab
  • Travel up to 50 feet and 5 stops

With an Artisan custom elevator, the design starts from your home. It can blend into the house you have or the plans you are drawing, fit where other elevators cannot and reflect your own style. Bring us the idea and we will build it.

Residential Elevators Installed Across Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania homes come in every shape, from city row homes to farmhouses and mountain retreats, and nearly all of them were built around a staircase. We help owners in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, the Lehigh Valley and Philadelphia add an elevator so the upper floors, and often the basement too, stay part of everyday life.

If you are weighing an elevator against a stair lift, we can price both. Call 570-217-8426 or ask for a free home assessment.

Four Ways to Add an Elevator

  • Freedom. A cab in an enclosed shaft, the familiar kind.
  • Vision. A clear tube that stands on the existing floor.
  • Artisan. Made one at a time to your design.
  • LUMA. A shaft-less model that links two levels with the least construction.

Prices and What to Know First

See home elevator prices in Pennsylvania for the cost factors and what homeowners need to know before installing for permits and preparation. Owners of lake and mountain houses may like home elevators for Poconos homes.

Alternatives to an Elevator

A stair lift handles one staircase, a wheelchair lift handles the steps at the door and a dumbwaiter handles the carrying. Ask for a free home assessment.

Home Elevator Questions

Which home elevator is easiest to add to an existing house?

A shaft-less or pneumatic elevator. Neither needs a pit or a machine room, so far less of the house has to be altered.

Can a home elevator carry a wheelchair?

Yes, provided the cab is large enough. Tell us the size of the chair and whether a helper will ride along, and we will recommend a suitable model.

How much disruption should I expect?

It depends on the type. A shaft-less or pneumatic elevator involves a floor opening and a few days of installation. A traditional elevator involves building a shaft and takes longer.

Do I need a permit for a home elevator?

Elevator work is regulated, and requirements vary by municipality. We explain what applies to your project.
