How to Put an Elevator in Your Home

August 15, 2024 by Arrow Lift

A sleek, modern, black elevator fits seamlessly into a contemporary home.

A home elevator can completely transform your living space, elevating your residence’s overall appeal, value, and functionality while redefining its accessibility. If you’re new to the fascinating world of home elevators, you might be curious about how to add one to your home.

Let’s start with some good news: adding an elevator to your home is likely more achievable than you think! With a wide array of customizable options, there’s a solution to fit nearly any space. Read on to explore your options for installing an elevator in your home.

Different Types of Elevators for Different Types of Homes

If you’ve ever entered a home with an elevator, you know the luxurious appeal a home elevator exudes! With endless customization options to fit any style and purpose, your home elevator can be perfectly tailored to suit your needs. Here are the different types of home elevator options available through Arrow Lift:

Traditional Home Elevators

Traditional home elevator with wooden interior

A traditional residential elevator is popular for homeowners who want functionality and a classic design. These elevators are high-quality, customizable, and available with natural wood interiors. Opt for unique door selections and a wide variety of trim options to match your home decor. Traditional home elevators offer a timeless, sophisticated look.


Glass Home Elevators

Looking for a ride with a view? Glass elevators are designed with glass or plexiglass panels that offer stunning views and contemporary style. These elevators add a sleek, modern aesthetic to your home and give you an open, airy feeling with natural light.

Pitless Home Elevators

This type of home elevator operates without requiring an elevator pit to be dug into your homeโ€™s foundation. Pitless home elevators provide a convenient and space-saving solution, making them an excellent choice for retrofitting existing homes.


Pneumatic Vacuum Elevators (PVE)

These beautiful home elevators feature a plexiglass tube powered by air pressure. They offer panoramic views as you move between floors and are space-efficient with a compact footprint.

Shaftless Home Elevators

Shaftless elevators are a popular, cost-effective choice for those with limited space. They can often be installed in more compact spaces where a traditional elevator may not fit.


When to Add an Elevator to Your Home

The best time to add an elevator to your home is usually during a new build or a remodel, when youโ€™re looking to add luxury or to create your forever home.  You should incorporate it into the construction plans as early as possible. 
Still, a home elevator is an investment you can make at any time, likely to pay off long-term. It can increase your resale potential and appeal to buyers who appreciate a stunning showpiece that also enhances in-home accessibility. Several types of residential elevators are smaller and require minimal construction, making them less disruptive to existing home floor plans.
