Traditional home elevators

A traditional home elevator is what most people picture: a cab that runs in a built shaft, with a door on each floor and a finished interior you choose. It's the fit when you're building or renovating and can frame the shaft into the plan, and it gives you the widest choice of cab size and finish. We install traditional home elevators across Louisiana and Alabama.

Common questions

Financing, funding and after-install service — see the FAQ

Do I need a shaft?: Yes — a traditional elevator runs in a built shaft. If framing one isn't practical, a vacuum or through-floor elevator may fit instead; we'll tell you which is realistic for your home.
Can I choose the cab finish?: Yes. The Cibes Symmetry cab is built to custom sizes and finishes; the Fox Valley Builder's Series keeps finishes straightforward to hold the cost down.
