Home Elevator Installation in Auburn, Washington

Auburn Home Elevators has been installing elevators for Auburn homeowners for over a decade. We plan each one around the rooms you use every day, with space on every floor to step or roll into the cab and back out comfortably.

We work on existing homes and on new builds still on the drawing board. Our prices are affordable and our results are guaranteed. Call today for a free quote.

Shaftless home elevator installation

In some two-floor homes, a through-floor lift can link the floors without a built shaft. It still needs a floor opening, solid framing and clear space at both landings. We measure the model’s travel, weight limit and cab size against who will ride, especially when a wheelchair or a second person has to fit.

Enclosed home elevator installation

A traditional elevator runs in its own shaft, with a cab chosen for your floors and the people who ride. Hydraulic, traction and other drives each need different space and equipment. We set the pit depth, overhead, door layout and service access from the chosen model’s drawings before the structure is final.

Glass home elevator installation

A glass elevator can become part of your home’s architecture. We look at the enclosure’s full size, where the doors go and how it ties into the structure, along with the glass. Glass models can use different drives, so we confirm the weight limit, wheelchair access and building work for each model.

Home elevator retrofit installation

Adding an elevator to the house you live in starts with a route through every floor. Stacked closets, a spot by the stairs or a new shaft each change the structure, the pipes and wires and the rooms you keep. We compare the building work and the finished landings, then recommend the most useful option.

Home elevator installation for new construction

In a new home we plan the elevator with the foundation, framing and room layout from the start. We help you choose the elevator early enough to reserve the right shaft, door openings and service space. If it will go in later, we size the space for a real model, not a generic closet.

Our process

01

Map the floors and users

We list every floor to serve, who will ride and any wheelchair or walker, then walk the route to each landing.

02

Match the elevator to the building

We match suitable models to the structure, wiring and permits, then use the chosen model’s drawings to settle the building work.

03

Install and walk you through it

We arrange the inspection, show you the controls and power-loss steps, and leave you the service and support papers.

Count the levels before choosing the stops

A split-level house can have half landings that are easy to miss on a first sketch. We measure the height of each finished floor and note the rooms each stop would serve. A simple two-level lift may not suit a route that needs more stops or longer travel.

Coordinate the elevator and building approvals

Washington L&I issues the elevator permit. We coordinate the elevator with the structural, building and electrical work, then arrange the state inspection and show you the controls before you start using it.

Frequently asked questions

Will a home elevator fit in a closet?

Sometimes. Closets that line up are a start, but the whole route between floors, the structure, the pit or overhead space, the door openings and the landing space all have to fit the model.

Are all home elevators wheelchair accessible?

No. Cab size, door width, weight limit and room at the door vary by model. If you use a wheelchair or scooter, we check the model against it and against everyone who rides.

What happens if the power goes out?

It depends on the model. We explain how yours lowers or runs on backup power and how its emergency phone works, and we leave those instructions with you.
