Elevator modernization involves upgrading key components of your existing elevator system—such as controllers, drives, fixtures, and cab interiors—without replacing the entire elevator. This extends equipment life, improves performance, and ensures code compliance at a fraction of the cost of full replacement.

Consider modernization if your elevators are 15-20 years old, experiencing frequent breakdowns, have obsolete parts, fail to meet current codes, or have high energy consumption. Signs include long wait times, rough rides, and outdated appearance that impacts property value.

Modernization typically costs 20-40% of full replacement, ranging from $15,000 to $100,000+ per elevator depending on scope. Factors include building height, cab count, components being replaced, and aesthetic upgrades. We provide detailed quotes after assessment.

Most modernization projects take 1-3 weeks per elevator, depending on scope. We phase the work to keep some elevators operational. Simple controller upgrades may take just days, while complete overhauls including cab renovation can take several weeks.

Modernization offers 60-80% cost savings compared to replacement, faster completion (weeks vs. months), less building disruption, retention of existing infrastructure, and the ability to upgrade in phases. You get like-new performance without the expense and disruption of full replacement.

Yes, we offer flexible financing options including lease-to-own programs, phased modernization plans, and partnerships with commercial lenders. Many projects qualify for energy efficiency rebates that can offset 10-20% of costs.
