Elevator Solutions for Homes & Commercial Buildings
Connecticut’s largest independent elevator contractor helps homeowners, builders, and property managers find, install, and maintain the right elevator for any project.
Custom Elevator Solutions for Your Project
At ESCO, we understand not every elevator project looks the same. A homeowner adding value and accessibility to a multi-story residence has different needs than a property manager bringing a commercial building up to code. ESCO installs and services a full range of elevator types, and our evaluation process helps you determine which one fits your space, your goals, and your budget.
Home Elevator Installation
Whether you’re building new, renovating, or looking for a compact option where space is tight, ESCO offers shafted and shaftless home elevator solutions for every layout. From luxury glass designs to classic closet-style systems, our team helps you choose the elevator that enhances your home, your mobility, and your property value.
Best For: Homeowners, custom home builders, architects, and renovation contractors.
Commercial Elevator Installation
ESCO installs commercial elevator systems for office buildings, mixed-use developments, healthcare facilities, and municipal properties across the Northeast. Our licensed team handles everything from initial planning through final inspection, working alongside your general contractor to deliver a system that meets code requirements and serves your building for decades.
Best For: Property managers, developers, general contractors, and building owners.
LULA Elevators
A Limited Use/Limited Application (LULA) elevator delivers the fully automated, push-button experience of a conventional elevator in a smaller footprint and at a lower cost. ESCO installs LULA systems in churches, schools, libraries, medical offices, and select residential properties that need ADA-compliant vertical access without the scope of a full commercial project.
Best For: Churches, schools, small commercial buildings, municipal facilities, and residences with specific accessibility needs.
Start Your Project With a Professional Evaluation
Every elevator project has variables that a brochure or website can’t account for: your building’s structure, your local code requirements, and the way your space actually gets used. That’s why every ESCO project starts with an on-site evaluation where our consultants assess your space in person and recommend the right solution for your specific situation.
Why Choose an Elevator From ESCO
Choosing the right elevator is only half the decision. The other half is choosing the right team to install and support it. ESCO is more than an elevator supplier that sells you equipment and walks away. We work side-by-side with the manufacturers and engineers who design your system, and then our own licensed mechanics install, maintain, and service it for the long term. When you buy an elevator from ESCO, you’re investing in a single relationship that covers the full lifecycle of your equipment.
That’s a distinction most elevator companies in the Northeast can’t offer. Many competitors install one brand, outsource their service, or lack the credentials to support what they sell. ESCO’s mechanics are trained through one of the elevator industry’s most rigorous safety and education programs, including thousands of hours of classroom instruction and hands-on field training. We’re licensed across Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts, and with 75+ years of experience, we have the depth that newer companies simply haven’t earned.
