Florida Home Elevators

With a population of approximately 21.5 million, including significant Hispanic and elderly communities, Florida’s diverse demographic spans from cities like Sarasota and Fort Myers to picturesque retirement destinations like Daytona Beach and Clearwater. With a growing number of retirees residing along the coastal regions, residential elevators in the gulf state have become more common practice for both remodel and new construction builds. While residences aged 65 and above currently attribute to 20% of Florida’s total population, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that the number of elders could increase by as much as 34% in 2030 from population metrics gathered in 2012 alone. This would attribute to around 32.5% of the population being 60 years and above by 2030, a clear indication of the growing necessity for affordable mobility solutions for residents across the state. With Florida’s aging population increasing annually, installing a residential lift has become a common necessity for many homeowners.

For the growing number of homeowners residing in 55+ communities, country clubs and neighborhoods throughout the state, purchasing a residential elevator in Florida has never been easier. Whether it be for a single-family home development in Cape Coral or a remodel project in Port St. Lucia, residential elevators are sold and installed through licensed and trained distributors. Once in contact with their local representative, a site-visit at the home is required for quoting. Architecture plans and drawings can also be reviewed for new construction builds. With roughly 9,865,350 individuals housing units as of 2020, most existing Florida homes were not designed with residential elevators in mind. Without a pre-construction pit, hoistway or dedicated machine room, these state-of-the-art home elevators offer more flexibility of installation and can be installed in a variety of locations. Whether a multi-story condominium or private residence, the local dealer will help locate where your desired home elevator could be installed. Due to Florida’s humid and tropical climate, these home lifts cannot be installed outside. With an average rainfall of 54” annually, installing an elevator outside in the sunshine state could impact the operation of the unit and it is recommended to install the lift inside the home or in a climate-controlled enclosure. Once a quotation is received, to purchase their home elevators each homeowner will submit their signed contract and formal deposit to their distributor.
