Are you thinking about installing an elevator in your home? The luxury and accessibility that home elevators provide come with many benefits that everyone in your home will enjoy.
Our clients often ask us how much a home elevator costs. Because every home elevator is designed and manufactured specifically for each home, there is no one-size-fits-all answer.
In short, the cost of a home elevator can vary tremendously. Most home elevators that Arrow Lift installs fall between $30,000 - $50,000. However, some basic systems can start under $30,000, while other custom applications can cost over $100,000.
Depending on the application, system, and desired level of finish and customization, we will work with you one-on-one to find the system that works best for your unique home and budget.
Design Options
Your elevator is custom-designed to fit seamlessly into your home. Our team of experts will work with you to meet the aesthetic of your home and your personal style preferences.

Secondly, fixtures can be customized to match your vision. Home elevator fixtures include car operating panels, phone boxes, hall stations, lighting fixtures, handrails, and specialty items. Whatever your finish preference, we can provide you with elevator fixtures that blend into your home’s decor.
Additionally, the door and gate mark the entrance to your elevator. Not only should they match your home’s design aesthetic, but they also need to be safely designed.
What Are Drive Systems and How Do They Impact Cost?
Drive systems are the heart of the electronic and mechanical operations of your home elevator. Arrow Lift offers three home elevator drive systems:
Roped hydraulic drive is a quiet, smooth drive system. It can be used in taller spaces without having to drill in the ground, as is done with direct hydraulic drive systems.
Inline gear drive is the most economical and space-saving option, being able to fit into compact overhead spaces.
Winding drum drive is a technology that has been used in several types of home elevators throughout the years. Recently, this includes many shaftless elevators, which are popular today.
Air-powered/pneumatic vacuum drive is a newer technology used in modern, luxury home elevators with round, transparent shafts, and cars.
The drive system you choose can impact the cost of your home elevator. Typically, the air-powered drive is the most expensive, and the inline gear drive or winding drum drive is the most cost-effective.

Construction and Cost
Whether you are building a new home or remodeling an existing one, there are construction costs to install an elevator in your home. Installation typically requires foundation work, a hoistway structure, electrical power, fixtures, trim carpentry, and finish work.
There are many factors that go into construction costs, such as:
- Number of stories in your home
- Type of drive system you choose
- Layout of your home
- Locations of your elevators doors (pass through, same side enter/exit, or 90 degree)
