A PVE air-driven home elevator in a residential setting, shown to give you a sense of the design.
An easier way up in your Fort Myers home.
Keep the home you love and let the stairs stop deciding how you use it.
Maybe your living floor now sits well above the street after a rebuild. Maybe the bedrooms are upstairs and the climb has started to hurt. In Fort Myers, more homes rise off the ground each year, and that means more stairs between you and your front door.
A PVE home elevator closes that gap. It is air-driven, so it needs no pit, no hoistway and no separate machine room in standard installations. It rests on your existing floor and rises through a neat opening in the ceiling above.
For your home, that means less digging, less dust and fewer changes to the rooms you already have. You keep your layout. You gain a quiet, panoramic ride between floors, with views all around as you go.
PVE designs and manufactures every elevator, and each one is assembled in the USA and factory-tested in Miami. When you are ready, a free quote is the simple next step.
The cleanest home elevator on the market.
In a city that knows long storm outages, the design matters: if the power fails during a ride, the cab lowers gently to the lowest level and the door opens, with no oils inside to worry about.
- 01Air lifts you up
A vacuum pump at the top of the unit changes the air pressure and the cab rises.

Safe, simple and made to be seen.
Here is what an air-driven PVE elevator brings to a home in Fort Myers, and why it fits the way houses here are built and lived in.
No pit to dig
Standard installations need no pit, hoistway or machine room. In a city that has seen storm surge flooding, there is no hole below the floor to take on water, and far less work in your home.
Safe in a power cut
If the power fails during a ride, the cab lowers to the lowest level at a safe speed and the door opens. In storm season, no one is left waiting between floors for the lights to come back.
Made for raised homes
Many Fort Myers homes now sit higher off the ground. An elevator links the ground level to your main floor and every floor above, up to 5 stops on most models.
Fits existing rooms
A stacked closet or a quiet corner is often all it takes. The elevator is self-supporting, which means it carries its own weight on your floor instead of leaning on your walls.
Panoramic and quiet
The cylinder is an aluminum frame with clear polycarbonate panels, so you see all around you as you ride. It looks at home in a bright coastal house.
Close to the source
PVE designs and manufactures its elevators in Florida. Each one is assembled in the USA and factory-tested in Miami, and authorized dealers trained there handle your install and service.
Real PVE installations.
What homeowners say.
Real words from families who added a PVE elevator to the home they love.
We are not age-limited with the elevator. At any age, it's like living on a single floor. We've been here 5 years and it's never needed anything. The elevator has been flawless.
My house was built in 1925 and it was hard to get something to fit in with the décor of my home, but the PVE fit in perfectly. I am thrilled with the design, engineering, and reliability of the elevator by PVE.
It turns a 2-story into a ranch concept! It's for the ease & access but also for the resale. I think the investment is worth it!
What happens during installation?
Your installation plan should cover the work before the elevator arrives as well as assembly and testing.
- Review the home
Confirm the layout, the people using the elevator and the levels it needs to serve.
- Confirm the model and location
Check dimensions, landing access and the requirements for the selected configuration.
- Prepare the site
Complete the agreed structural and electrical work and arrange the required permits and inspections.
- Install and hand over
Assemble and test the elevator, complete required approvals, and explain operation and ongoing care.
Timing depends on site preparation, the selected model and local requirements.

Questions Fort Myers buyers ask before ordering
Our house was raised after the storm. Can an elevator go from the ground level up?
Yes, in many cases it can. Many Fort Myers homes are being rebuilt higher off the ground, and an elevator can connect that ground level to your living floor and the floors above. It stands on a level floor, so there is no pit to dig into the ground below. Your dealer will look at your lowest level and its flood risk before choosing where the first stop goes. A free visit is the best way to confirm it for your home.
Could we put the elevator where our closets are?
Often, yes. In many existing Fort Myers homes, a closet that sits right above another closet makes a good spot for an elevator. It keeps your main rooms as they are and makes the work simpler. Not every closet will be the right size or in the right place, so your dealer measures your home first. Then you will know which spot works best and which model fits it.
Does Florida have special rules for an elevator in a house?
Yes, Florida follows national safety codes for elevators, including those in private homes. You do not have to sort them out yourself. Your authorized dealer prepares the plans, applies for the permit with your local building office and arranges the inspection once the elevator is in. PVE elevators are certified to the safety standard for home elevators. Ask your dealer for a typical permit timeline when you get your quote.
If the power goes out in hurricane season, what happens to whoever is riding?
They come down safely. If the power fails while the elevator is running, the cab lowers to the lowest level at a slow, steady speed and the door lock opens, so the rider can step out alone. After Hurricane Ian left so many homes here without power, that matters. You can plan for storm season knowing no one will be stuck between floors waiting for the lights.
Can my dad's wheelchair fit in any of your elevators?
Yes, the PVE52 is our wheelchair-accessible model. It has room for a wheelchair, and in many cases a helper as well. It is not ADA compliant, and not every wheelchair fits, so we suggest your dad tries a ride in a PVE52 with an authorized dealer first. The other models are compact and suit riders who walk. Ask for a free consultation and we will help you check the fit.
How many days will workers be inside our home?
The elevator install itself typically takes 2 to 3 days once site prep is complete. Site prep comes first: a level floor, a clean opening at each level and the right power supply. In a raised Fort Myers home, that may mean a little more work on the ground level. Your dealer will give you a clear schedule at the home visit, so you can plan around it.
Who will look after the elevator once it is in?
Your PVE authorized dealer does. Dealers are trained at the PVE facility in Miami, and they set your service schedule, with an inspection at least every six months. The elevator is low maintenance and uses no oils or lubricants, which suits a humid coastal home. If you ever have a question or a concern, you call your dealer and they take it from there.

Fort Myers has a larger share of residents aged 65 and over than the country as a whole. Many of them want to stay right where they are. If that is you, or a parent you are helping, an elevator lets the whole house keep working as the years go on.
Planning ahead is easier than reacting. If you add the elevator while you can still manage the stairs, you choose the spot, the model and the timing. You are not rushing after a fall or a surgery.
Many homes here are being renovated and rebuilt higher off the ground. That keeps living space above the water, but it adds a long climb from the ground floor. If your home was raised, an elevator can link the ground level to your main floor, so groceries, guests and grandkids get up without a struggle.
No pit below the floor means nothing to dig into wet ground.
Hurricane Ian hit Fort Myers hard, and much of its damage came from flooding driven by storm surge. A traditional elevator often needs a pit dug below the floor. A PVE elevator does not. It stands on your existing level floor, so there is no hole below it to take on water. Your dealer will look at where your lowest stop should be, given your home and its flood risk.
Ian also left a great many homes without power, some for a long time. If the power goes out while the elevator is running, the cab lowers to the lowest level at a safe, steady speed and the door lock opens. Whoever is riding steps out on their own. That is real peace of mind in storm season.
Home elevators already serve two-, three- and four-story homes in Fort Myers, on the coast and inland. In many existing homes, a closet that sits above another closet makes a natural spot. It keeps the elevator out of your main rooms and makes the work simpler. PVE elevators reach up to 5 stops on the PVE30, PVE37 and PVE52, so taller homes are covered too.
Florida follows national safety codes for elevators, including ones in private homes. Your authorized dealer handles the plans, the permit with your local building office and the inspection that follows. You do not need to learn the rules yourself. Timing varies with the permit office, so your dealer will give you a typical schedule for your home.
Once the site is ready, the install itself typically takes 2 to 3 days. Site prep means a level floor, a clean opening at each level and the right power supply. Your dealer will walk you through each step at a free visit to your home, so you know what to expect before any work begins.
