Keep living on every floor of your Greensboro home.
The right home elevator lets you stay in the house you love, on your own terms.
Maybe the stairs in your Greensboro home are not the problem yet, but you can see the day coming. Or maybe that day is already here. A knee that aches on the way up, a hip that is healing, a partner who now needs a steady hand. A home elevator turns those trips into a short, calm ride.
PVE designs and manufactures air-driven residential elevators. Air pressure lifts the cabin, and gravity helps it come down. Each one is self-supporting. In plain words, it stands on your floor and holds itself up, so standard installations need no pit, no hoistway and no separate machine room.
That changes what your house has to go through. Instead of a long build that takes over a room, the work is mostly a clean opening in the floor above and a power line run to the spot. Once that prep is done, the elevator itself typically goes in within 2 to 3 days. You keep your rooms, your routine and your home.
The cleanest home elevator on the market.
Because the elevator moves on air and gravity, it uses no oils or lubricants in the cabin system and keeps the work in your Greensboro home light. If the power goes out during a ride, the cabin settles gently to the lowest floor.
- 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.
The most sustainable home elevator available. Anywhere.

If one person rides and space is tight, the PVE30 is the place to start. For two riders, or a little more elbow room, the PVE37 or the square Cube suit most two-story and three-story Greensboro homes. If someone in your family uses a wheelchair, the PVE52 is the model to look at first.

Safe, simple and made to be seen.
Here is what a PVE home elevator brings to your Greensboro home, in plain terms. Each point comes back to the same goal: easier days at home, with less work done to the house.
No pit to dig
Standard installations need no pit, hoistway or separate machine room. The elevator rests on your existing level floor, so you avoid breaking into your foundation or giving up a room to machinery.
A calm descent in a power cut
If the power fails while the elevator is moving, the cabin descends to the lowest level at a slow, safe speed and the door lock opens. Whoever is riding can step out without waiting for help.
Panoramic and space-saving
The cabin offers 360 degree views through clear panels in an aluminum frame. It takes up little floor space and keeps your room open and bright, so it fits the style of your home.
A short install
Once your site prep is done, the elevator typically goes in within 2 to 3 days. That means less noise, less dust and fewer days with a crew in your Greensboro home.
Low maintenance
The system uses no harmful oils, gases or lubricants. It is low maintenance, and your authorized dealer keeps it on a regular service schedule with an inspection at least every 6 months.
Assembled in the USA
Every PVE elevator is assembled and factory-tested in Miami, Florida. PVE has designed and manufactured air-driven elevators since 2002 and works through trained authorized dealers for local installation and support.
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 Greensboro buyers ask before they order
We don't have a spare room. Where would the elevator even go?
You usually do not need a spare room at all. A PVE elevator stands on its own, so it can sit in a corner of a living room, at the end of a hallway, in a deep closet or beside the stairs. In many Greensboro homes, the best spot links the bedroom floor to the kitchen floor with few extra steps. Your dealer will walk your home with you and suggest the spots that work best.
How messy will the work be inside our house?
The work is far lighter than most people expect. Since standard models need no pit or shaft, the main jobs are a clean opening in each floor the elevator serves and the right electrical line. After that prep, the elevator typically goes in within 2 to 3 days. Most families stay home during the work. Your dealer will explain what your house needs and in what order, so there are no surprises.
What paperwork will Greensboro need from us?
In most cases, a residential elevator needs a permit, and your dealer helps you through it. The rules are set locally and can change, so your dealer checks what your project needs at the time you order. You share details about your home, and the dealer guides the paperwork and the inspection that follows. Build that step into your plans, because the review can take some time.
What happens if the power goes out while I'm riding alone?
You come down gently to the lowest floor, and the door opens so you can step out. The elevator is designed to do this on its own when the power fails during a ride. You do not need to press anything or call anyone. It is one reason families feel at ease when a parent rides alone. An alarm and a phone are also in the cabin if you ever want to reach someone.
Is there a model for someone who uses a wheelchair?
Yes, the PVE52 is our wheelchair-accessible model. It has the widest door and the largest cabin, with room for a rider and a helper. It is not ADA compliant, and not every wheelchair fits, so we suggest you ride a PVE52 at an authorized dealer with your own chair before you decide. The other models suit riders who walk, including those who use a cane.
Does the room need to be heated or cooled?
Yes, the elevator belongs inside the heated and cooled part of your home. It is not used below 65°F, so a living room, hallway or other indoor space is the right place for it. An unheated garage, porch or attic space usually will not work unless it becomes part of the living space first. Your dealer will check the spot you have in mind during the home visit.
How do we find out what it will cost for our house?
The simplest way is a free quote based on your own home. The price depends on the model, how many floors it serves, and how much prep your house needs, like floor openings and electrical work. Two homes on the same street can end up with different numbers. Tell us about your Greensboro home and who will ride, and we will help you plan the right quote.
How often does it need a checkup once it's in?
Plan on an inspection at least every 6 months, set up through your authorized dealer. The elevator is low maintenance, and it uses no harmful oils or lubricants, so visits tend to be simple. The dealer who installs it also looks after it, so you have one place to call with any question. Ask about the service schedule when you request your quote, so it is part of your plan from day one.

Start with your own house, not with the elevator. Walk the floors you use every day and notice where the trips happen. The bedroom upstairs, the kitchen on the main floor, the laundry or a den on a lower level. The best spot for an elevator is usually the one that links the rooms you visit most, with the fewest extra steps in between.
In many Greensboro homes, that spot turns out to be a corner of the living room, the end of a hallway, a deep closet, or the curve of a stairwell. Because a PVE elevator is round or square and stands on its own, it does not need a wall to lean on. It can sit in the open, and its panoramic design lets light pass through, so the room still feels like a room.
A home elevator should fit your house, not take it over.
Next, think about what your home will need before the crew arrives. The floor under the elevator must be fully level. Each floor it serves needs a neat, finished opening for the cabin to pass through, lined up from one level to the next. The house also needs the right electrical line and breaker, which a licensed electrician sets up. Your dealer will tell you exactly what applies to your home during the visit.
If your home has a basement, you have a choice to make. The elevator can start on the lower level and give you easy access to storage, a workshop or a guest suite. Or it can start on the main floor and serve only the levels you use most. Standard models handle up to 5 stops, so a home with a basement and two floors above is often well within reach. The Cube serves 2 or 3 stops, which suits many two-story and three-story houses.
Building a new home or planning a big renovation? That is the easiest time to add an elevator. Your builder or architect can plan the openings, the power and the space from the start. Even if you are not ready to buy yet, leaving room in the plan keeps the door open for later, and it can save work down the road.
Permits are part of most projects. Requirements for a residential elevator are set locally, and they can change over time. Your authorized dealer will look into what your project needs and guide you through it, so you are not left sorting out paperwork alone. Plan for that step in your timeline, since the review can take a while in some cases.
There is one more thing to keep in mind about the room itself. The elevator is not used below 65°F, so it belongs inside the heated and cooled part of your home. A conditioned hallway or living area is a good fit. An unheated garage, porch or attic space usually is not, unless it is made part of the living space first.
Once the prep is finished, the install itself is quick. The elevator typically goes in within 2 to 3 days. You can usually stay in your home while the crew works. After that, the dealer shows you how to use it and sets up your service schedule, and your stairs become a choice again, not a must.
