For the growing number of homeowners residing in 55+ communities, country clubs and neighborhoods throughout the state, purchasing a residential elevator in Florida has never been easier. Whether it be for a single-family home development in Cape Coral or a remodel project in Port St. Lucia, residential elevators are sold and installed through licensed and trained distributors. Once in contact with their local representative, a site-visit at the home is required for quoting. Architecture plans and drawings can also be reviewed for new construction builds. With roughly 9,865,350 individuals housing units as of 2020, most existing Florida homes were not designed with residential elevators in mind. Without a pre-construction pit, hoistway or dedicated machine room, these state-of-the-art home elevators offer more flexibility of installation and can be installed in a variety of locations. Whether a multi-story condominium or private residence, the local dealer will help locate where your desired home elevator could be installed. Due to Florida’s humid and tropical climate, these home lifts cannot be installed outside. With an average rainfall of 54” annually, installing an elevator outside in the sunshine state could impact the operation of the unit and it is recommended to install the lift inside the home or in a climate-controlled enclosure. Once a quotation is received, to purchase their home elevators each homeowner will submit their signed contract and formal deposit to their distributor.
