Our Approach to Lift and Elevator Evaluations

Whether you’re purchasing a home with an existing elevator, approaching a state-mandated safety test, noticing something that doesn’t sound quite right, or ready to get a new construction project underway, the solution begins with a comprehensive evaluation from Elevator Service Company. ESCO’s licensed mechanics assess your equipment from top to bottom, walk you through exactly what they find, and give you a clear understanding of where things stand.

When Should You Schedule an Evaluation?

Not every elevator concern looks the same. Here are a few of the most common reasons homeowners, property managers, and building operators reach out to ESCO for an evaluation.

  • For Homeowners

    Buying or selling a home with an existing elevator or lift? A professional evaluation from ESCO ensures your equipment is safe, code-compliant, and ready for the next chapter before you close.

  • For Commercial Properties

    Elevators and lifts are subject to state-mandated inspections. We manage the scheduling, prepare your equipment, and ensure everything meets code, so you can focus on running your facility.

  • For Everyone

    Hearing an unfamiliar noise? Noticing a change in how your elevator rides? Our licensed mechanics diagnose the root cause, not just the symptoms, so you get an honest answer and a clear solution.

Evaluations for Planning a New Installation or Retrofit

Evaluations aren’t just for existing equipment. If you’re building a new home, renovating a commercial space, or adding accessibility to an older building, a professional site evaluation is the essential first step to getting your project right.

  • Homeowners & Residential Builders

    An on-site evaluation puts a face to a name and gives our team a real understanding of your space. Most homeowners don’t have finalized plans when they first reach out, and that’s perfectly fine. We assess your home, help define what’s possible within your footprint, and provide the elevator specifications your architect needs to complete the plans. The earlier we’re involved, the smoother the entire project runs.

  • Commercial Projects & Capital Improvements

    Many older commercial buildings are adding accessibility for the first time as part of capital improvement projects where ADA compliance becomes a requirement. Whether it’s new construction or a retrofit into an existing structure, our evaluation identifies the right solution for your building’s layout, code requirements, and budget. We work alongside general contractors and architects as a dedicated project partner instead of just another sub showing up at the end.

Find Out Exactly What Your Elevator Needs

Our licensed mechanics will inspect your system, walk you through their findings on-site, and provide a detailed report with a clear path forward, whether that’s a simple fix, a modernization plan, or the peace of mind that everything is running as it should.
