MARYLAND LIVES
Baltimore and Annapolis are known for historic multistory rowhouses with narrow layouts, shared walls, and original staircases connecting basements and upper floors. These features can make major structural renovations difficult.
A PVE elevator is well suited to these homes because its self-supporting design requires no pit, shaft, or machine room. It can often be added without disturbing a shared wall or significantly changing the home’s layout, and many installations are completed within days.
For Maryland homeowners planning to age in place, a PVE elevator provides easier access between floors without giving up a beloved historic home. It also uses minimal power and works well with many energy-efficient upgrades, including solar.
4 Models.
One for Every Home.
Whether you live in a rowhouse in Baltimore’s Federal Hill, a Federal-style home in Annapolis, or a newer build in Bethesda or the DC suburbs, there is a PVE model built for your space.
testimonials
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.
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.

WHY HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE PVE
Certified and Safety-Tested
Every PVE elevator is built to meet national safety standards and independently tested before it ever reaches a home. If power is interrupted, the cab descends safely on its own rather than stopping mid-shaft.
Ready for a Power Outage
Maryland sees its share of winter storms and power outages. A PVE elevator’s auto-descend function brings the cab safely to the ground floor if the power drops, and a battery backup option is available for added peace of mind.
Designed to Be Seen, Not Hidden
The 360-degree glass cab isn’t boxed into a closet or hallway. It becomes part of the room, showing off natural light from an unexpected angle, even in a narrow rowhouse.
Low Maintenance by Design
There are no oils, gases, or lubricants to top off or replace. That means fewer service calls and less to worry about long after installation.
No Shaft, No Pit, No Machine Room
The structure supports itself, so it can go into an existing home without a foundation dig or a dedicated equipment room, which matters in Maryland’s narrow rowhouses with shared party walls.

Common Questions
About Home Elevators
in MARYLAND
Can a home elevator be added to an existing Maryland home?
Yes. PVE elevators are designed for retrofits and don’t require a pit, shaft, or separate machine room, which makes them a practical option for narrow rowhouses and colonial-era homes with shared walls.
How much space does a PVE elevator need?
Most models fit in a footprint similar to a large closet, roughly 30 to 52 inches in diameter depending on the model, which can matter in a narrow Baltimore or Annapolis rowhouse.
Is a home elevator a good option for aging in place?
Many Maryland homeowners install a PVE elevator specifically to stay in a multi-story rowhouse or colonial home longer, connecting a basement or main floor to an upstairs bedroom without relying on stairs.
Do I need a machine room or pit?
No. The self-supporting design eliminates the need for a hoistway, pit, or separate machine room that a traditional hydraulic elevator would require.
What does a home elevator cost in Maryland?
Cost depends on the model, the number of floors served, and site-specific factors like ceiling height and finish work. A local PVE dealer can walk through pricing for your specific home.
What permits are required in Maryland?
Elevator installation in Maryland requires a licensed elevator mechanic and contractor under the Maryland Elevator Safety Review Board. Notably, private single-family residential elevators were historically exempt from state inspection requirements, but as of January 1, 2023, elevators in privately owned single-family homes became subject to the same registration and inspection provisions that apply statewide.
Is there a PVE model for wheelchair accessibility?
Yes. PVE offers models designed to accommodate wheelchair access. A dealer can help identify which model fits your home and mobility needs.
