When it becomes clear that stairs are no longer a safe option, many people wrestle with installing an elevator due to the perceived cost. It can seem totally out of reach to get something seemingly so luxurious in your private home—but how much does it really cost to buy a residential elevator?
In this blog, we will dive into pricing and how RAM Elevators + Lifts works hard on our products to make the most affordable home elevators.
How Much Does a Residential Elevator Cost?
The most frequently asked question we get about our products is the cost. And in today’s economy, we get it! There is a lot of misinformation out there about how expensive an elevator is. Truly, the end cost depends on your customizations, stops, and a few other factors. Overall, we usually compare the cost of renovating your kitchen to the cost of installing a pitless elevator. In order to cut down the end cost for our clients, we have designed an elevator that does not take invasive—and often expensive—foundational construction to be safe and operational.
Explaining Pitless Elevators
A pitless elevator is an elevator that does not need a deep concrete foundation. Comparable lifts on the market require breaking concrete in your finished home to make a base, but our thoughtful engineering requires no such thing. If you want your elevator to have flush access with the entrance, we recommend either a 3” ramp or a 3” pit so that you can avoid unnecessary construction if desired. The concrete pad it will sit on is much more efficient than the standard 12” pit that other elevators will need.
Talk to our experts if you have any questions regarding your safety. Let us explain how this process does not compromise your safety in an elevator and will not affect load size or speed. We created these elevators to suit any person with mobility issues. A wheelchair can easily fit in the car without issue, as can canes, walkers, and more.
