Stay in the home you love, on every floor.
A simple way to reach every floor of the home you already know.
Most people who ask us about an elevator are not looking for a new house. They want to stay in the one they have in Washington, with its familiar rooms and its neighbors. The trouble is the staircase between the kitchen and the bedroom, or between the main floor and the lower level.
An air-driven elevator from PVE solves that without a major rebuild. PVE designs and manufactures every model with patented pneumatic technology. Each one is self-supporting, which means it stands on your existing floor. In standard installations you need no pit, no hoistway and no separate machine room.
That matters for the mix of homes you find across Washington, whether yours is an older two-story house, a home with a lower level, a townhome or a new build still on paper. The cabin is round and see-through, so it feels like part of the room rather than a box in the corner. You choose the spot, and we help you check that it works.
The cleanest home elevator on the market.
All your Washington home has to give it is one dedicated household circuit and a warm indoor spot. There are no oils or lubricants to store or top up, and a solar panel package is available if you want one.
- 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.
- Pneumatic technology
- No shaft, pit or machine room
- Installed in 2 to 3 days
- Panoramic design
- Three sizes and a square
Four models. One for every home.
If your home has a tight corner and one person rides at a time, the PVE30 is the compact choice. The PVE37 and The Cube give room for two, and The Cube's square shape suits two-story and three-story homes. If someone in your family uses a wheelchair, start with the PVE52, and ride one at a dealer first to confirm your chair fits.

Safe, simple and made to be seen.
Here is what an air-driven elevator brings to a home in Washington, from the first day of work to the years you will ride it.
No pit, no hoistway
The elevator stands on your existing floor. In standard installations it needs no pit dug below it, no shaft framed around it and no room given up to machinery. For an older home, that means far less work on the structure you already have.
A safe way down if the power fails
If the power goes off during a ride, the cabin descends to the lowest floor at a controlled speed and the door unlocks. Nobody waits between floors for help to arrive.
Panoramic design
The cabin is see-through, with panoramic 360 degree visibility, so it feels open and light. It sits in the room like a piece of design, which suits a modern home and a traditional one alike.
A quick install
Once the site is ready, the elevator typically goes in within 2 to 3 days. You get your floors back fast, without months of builders in the house.
A model for each household
Choose a compact cabin for one rider, room for two, a square cabin for two- and three-story homes, or the PVE52 for wheelchair access. Your dealer helps you match the model to who will ride it.
Assembled in the USA, supported locally
Every elevator is assembled in the USA and factory-tested in Miami, Florida. PVE has served homeowners since 2002, and over 250 authorized dealers trained at the Miami facility handle installation and local 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 from Washington homeowners.
Is there a way to know if our Washington home can take an elevator before we spend anything?
Yes. The first step is a visit to your home, and it is free. A trained PVE dealer looks at the spot you have in mind, checks that the floor is level and sees how the elevator would pass through each floor. Homes across Washington vary a lot, from older houses to new builds, so seeing yours in person is the only honest way to confirm the fit. Request a free consultation and we will set up the visit.
Will the permit hold up our project in Washington?
It can add some time, but it rarely has to stall your plans. A home elevator usually needs a permit from the local office that handles building work, and each city or county in Washington sets its own pace. Your authorized dealer knows what the office tends to ask for and helps you prepare it. We cannot promise a date, so it helps to start the paperwork early while you choose your model and color.
Our living room is open to the floor above. Can the elevator stop at a loft or balcony?
Yes, in many homes it can. Besides going up through a floor, the elevator can rise beside a balcony, loft or walkway, with the landing built by your contractor. This suits a home with an open, two-story room, where the cabin can stand in plain view and still reach the floor above. Your dealer will check the height and the landing on the visit and tell you which way works best for your layout.
Will it bring my mother down safely during a power cut?
Yes. If the power fails during a ride, the cabin goes down on its own to the lowest floor at a safe, controlled speed, and the door unlocks so she can step out. She does not need to press anything or wait for help. For a family in Washington planning for a parent to age in place, this is often the feature that brings real peace of mind. Your dealer can show you how it works.
Can we get one that a wheelchair rolls into?
Yes, the PVE52 is the model made for wheelchair access. It has the widest door and the most room inside. It is not ADA compliant, and not every wheelchair fits, so we ask you to ride a PVE52 at an authorized dealer with the chair your family uses. If a wheelchair may come later rather than now, planning for the PVE52 from the start saves you a change down the road.
Will we have to move out while it goes in?
No, you can stay in your home the whole time. Most of the work is the site prep: the floor openings, the new circuit and any finish work, done by local trades. The elevator itself typically goes in within 2 to 3 days once that is complete. There is no pit to dig and no machine room to build, so the dust and noise stay in one area of your house.
How much looking after does it need each year?
Not much. The elevator is low maintenance and uses no harmful oils, gases or lubricants. It should still be inspected at least every 6 months, and your authorized dealer sets up that schedule with you. Having a dealer who serves your part of Washington means you know who to call for a check or a question. Ask about service during your free consultation so the plan is clear from day one.
Built for the way Washington lives.
- Typical homes
- Two- and three-story houses, homes with a lower level, new builds
- What it needs
- A level floor, a heated indoor spot and its own power circuit
- Permits
- Your local building office, with your dealer's guidance
- Install time
- Typically 2 to 3 days after site prep
The first question most families ask is where the elevator would go. In many homes the answer is a corner of the living room, a hallway landing, a large closet or a spot beside the stairs. Because the elevator stands on its own frame, it does not lean on your walls for support. What it does need is a floor that is completely level and a clear path through each floor above, which a carpenter cuts and finishes before the install.
If your home has a lower level, the elevator can start there. Three of the models can serve up to 5 stops, so a house with a basement, a main floor and one or two floors above is often a good match. The Cube serves two-story and three-story homes. On the visit, your dealer looks at where each stop would land and how you would step out on each floor.
Two practical checks come next. The elevator needs its own electrical circuit, which a licensed electrician usually adds near the spot you choose. It also needs to sit inside the heated part of your home, because it is not meant for a cold room. An unheated garage or a closed-off porch is usually not the place for it, while a warm interior corner often is.
Your stairs stay. Your rooms stay. The elevator simply joins them.
Before work starts, your project will likely need a permit from the local office that handles building work for your home. Rules and timing vary from place to place across Washington, so we never promise a date. Your authorized dealer knows the process, helps you prepare what the office asks for and can tell you which inspections usually follow.
Here is how a project usually runs. First, a visit to your home to look at the spot and the floors. Next, a written quote and your choice of model and color. Then the permit, followed by site prep: the floor openings, the circuit and any finish work. Once that is done, the elevator itself typically goes in within 2 to 3 days, and the final inspection follows.
If you are building or remodeling, add the elevator to your plans early. Your architect or builder can line up the floor openings, place the circuit and leave room for the cabin while the walls are still open. It is much simpler to plan it now than to change finished rooms later.
After the install, the same local network looks after your elevator. It is low maintenance and uses no harmful oils or lubricants, but it should be inspected at least every 6 months. Your authorized dealer sets that schedule with you, so you always know who to call when you have a question.
