A PVE air-driven home elevator with its panoramic design, shown in a home setting.
Keep using every floor of your Massachusetts home.
An elevator that fits the house you already love, with far less building work.
Climbing the stairs may feel different now. It could be a knee after a long winter of chores, a new hip, or a partner who tires halfway up. You still want your bedroom upstairs and your kitchen below. A home elevator lets you keep both, in the Massachusetts house you chose.
Our elevators ride on air. We design and manufacture them with patented pneumatic technology, and each one is self-supporting. That means the elevator stands on your own level floor and carries its own weight. In standard installations, there is no pit to dig, no hoistway to frame and no machine room to give up.
For you, that keeps the project small. It works in an older house with snug rooms, a family home with a basement, or a new build still on paper. You give up a small corner, not a room, and the panoramic design keeps that corner bright. The next step is a look at your home and a free quote.
The cleanest home elevator on the market.
The elevator runs on household power with no harmful oils, gases or lubricants to manage. If the power fails during a ride, the cab descends to the lowest level at safety speed and the door lock opens.
- 01Air lifts you up
A vacuum pump at the top of the unit changes the air pressure and the cab rises.
- 02Gravity brings you down
Air is let back in and the cab descends. No oils, hydraulic fluid or lubricants.
- 03Runs on household current
Low power draw, so it works alongside the solar arrays many homes now have.

Safe, simple and made to be seen.
Here is what an air-driven home elevator changes for you, whether your Massachusetts home is a century old or still being planned.
No pit in your foundation
A standard PVE elevator stands on your level floor and carries its own weight. You skip digging into the foundation of an older house and avoid building a full shaft. That means less dust, less noise and fewer changes to rooms you want to keep.
A calm plan for power cuts
If the power fails during a ride, the cab descends to the lowest level at safety speed and the door lock opens. Whoever is riding steps out on their own, and you have one less worry when the lights go out.
Fits snug older rooms
The space-saving shapes suit homes where every room already has a job. The PVE30 has the smallest footprint of our models. A stacked closet or a corner by the stairs is often enough, and your dealer confirms the spot during the visit.
Light and open to look at
The panoramic design lets you see out from every side. The cylinder is an aluminum frame with polycarbonate panels, so it brings light into the corner it stands in. It looks like part of your home, not a medical device.
Reach every floor you use
The PVE30, PVE37 and PVE52 can serve up to 5 stops, so a basement, a main floor and the bedrooms above can all be on one ride. The Cube serves two or three stops, which suits a two- or three-story house.
From the people who design it
We design and manufacture every elevator, and each one is assembled in the USA and factory-tested in Miami, Florida. Our authorized dealers are trained at that facility, and they install and service your elevator. It is low maintenance, with checkups on a schedule your dealer sets.
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.
Let's talk numbersHome elevator cost in Massachusetts.
The price of your project depends on the model, how many floors it serves, and the site work your house needs first, such as leveling an old floor, cutting openings or adding a new circuit.

Questions Massachusetts buyers ask before ordering
Our house is pretty old. Can it still take an elevator?
Yes, in many cases an older house is a good fit. Our elevator stands on your floor and carries its own weight, so there is no pit to dig into an old foundation and no shaft to build. The floor where it rests must be fully level, and older floors can settle over time. Your dealer checks this during the visit and tells you if any leveling comes first. Book a visit and you will know for sure.
Will we need a permit from our town?
Most likely, yes. In most places a home elevator needs a permit and an inspection from the local building department, and the rules and timing differ from one Massachusetts town to the next. If your home is in a historic district, a design review may also apply. Your authorized dealer typically helps you gather what the town asks for and lines up the steps. Ask about this early, so the permit is ready when the elevator is.
Our stairs are steep and narrow. Where would it even go?
It usually goes somewhere other than the stairs, often in a closet or a corner. Because the elevator is slim and stands on its own, it does not need to follow your staircase at all. Many owners choose closets that sit one above the other, since they line up already. In some homes it can rise beside a landing or an open balcony instead. Your dealer walks through your rooms with you and suggests the spot that works best.
Can it start in the basement and stop at the bedrooms?
Yes, it can, as long as the basement stays warm all year. The PVE30, PVE37 and PVE52 serve up to 5 stops, so a basement, the main floor and the bedrooms can share one ride. The elevator is not used below 65°F (18°C), so the basement where it starts must be heated. If yours is cold or damp, your dealer will talk through your options. A visit shows which floors you can connect.
Will my wife be safe in it if the electricity cuts out?
Yes, she will not be left stuck between floors. If the power fails during a ride, the cab descends gently to the lowest level at safety speed, and the door lock opens so she can step out. She does not need to call anyone or press anything special. The elevator also has an alarm and a telephone inside. Your dealer can show you how this works when you ride one before you decide.
We need room for a wheelchair. What are our choices?
The PVE52 is the model to look at, since it is the only one we market as wheelchair accessible. It has room for the rider and often a helper beside them. Not every wheelchair fits, though, so we ask you to try a PVE52 at an authorized dealer with your own chair first. Please also know that our elevators are for homes and are not ADA compliant. A test ride gives you a clear answer.
How long until we can actually use it?
Once the site is ready, the install itself typically takes 2 to 3 days. Before that, a few steps come first: the visit, your quote, the town permit, and any site work such as leveling a floor, cutting openings or adding a circuit. How long those take depends on your house and your town. Your dealer gives you a timeline that fits your home, and you can stay in the house the whole time.
Who looks after it once it is in?
Your authorized dealer does. The same trained team that installs your elevator also services it and sets your checkup schedule, with an inspection at least every 6 months. It is low maintenance and uses no harmful oils, gases or lubricants, so visits are simple. Our dealers are trained at our Miami facility. If something ever seems off, you call your dealer and they come to you.
Built for the way Massachusetts lives.
- Homes it suits
- Older and newer houses with two or more floors
- What it needs
- A level floor, a heated space and a 220 to 240 V circuit
- No digging
- No pit, hoistway or machine room in standard installs
- Install time
- Typically 2 to 3 days once site prep is complete
Start with the house you have. It may be an older home with a steep staircase and rooms that were laid out long before anyone thought of an elevator. It may be a newer house with an open plan and a finished basement. Either way, the question is the same: where can a slim, round or square elevator stand, and what has to happen first?
If your home is older, the good news is that you do not need to dig. A standard PVE elevator rests on the existing floor, so there is no pit cut into a foundation and no shaft built through the middle of the house. What it does need is a floor that is fully level. In an older home, floors can settle over the years, so your dealer checks this first. If a spot needs leveling, that work is done before the elevator arrives.
Next comes the path between floors. Most often, the elevator goes through the floor: a finished opening is cut at each level, lined up one above the other. Stacked closets are a common choice, since they line up already and hide the work. In some homes, the elevator can instead rise beside a stair landing or an open balcony, so less of the floor is cut. Your dealer will show you which way suits your rooms.
Think about where it will live through the seasons. The elevator is not used below 65°F (18°C), so it belongs inside the heated part of your home. If you want it to start in a basement, a garage or a porch, that space needs to stay warm all year. Many owners pick a spot in the main living area to keep things simple.
You also need the right power. Each model runs on a 220 to 240 V single-phase circuit, and a licensed electrician adds it if your panel does not have one. A voltage stabilizer is strongly recommended. If the power goes off while someone is riding, the cab descends to the lowest level at safety speed and the door unlocks, so no one waits inside for help.
Most home elevator projects need a permit and an inspection from your local building department. The rules and the timing differ from town to town, so ask early. If your house is in a historic district or under a design review, find out before you settle on a spot. Your authorized dealer typically helps you gather what the town asks for and schedules the steps in order.
Once the site work is done, the elevator goes in fast, typically in 2 to 3 days.
That short install means fewer days of noise and fewer workers in your home. You can keep living there while it happens. The best first step is a visit, so a dealer can see your floors, your stairs and your panel, and give you a clear quote for your house.
