Honoring Veterans: Promoting Independence Across New England

This Veterans Day, we take a moment to honor the heroes who have served our country with courage and dedication. At Elevator Service Co. (ESCO), serving Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts, we believe that one of the most meaningful ways to show our gratitude is by helping veterans live safely and independently at home. 
 
As part of the Cibes Symmetry family, we share a commitment to delivering thoughtful accessibility solutions that blend reliability, comfort, and design — empowering those who’ve served to enjoy full access to their homes and communities. 

The Challenge: Accessibility and Mobility After Service

For many veterans, returning home brings new challenges in mobility and accessibility. Everyday obstacles like stairs or raised entryways can limit comfort, safety, and confidence. Adapting a home or property with the right accessibility features can make a tremendous difference — restoring freedom, dignity, and peace of mind. 
 
At Elevator Service Company, we offer Cibes Symmetry’s complete line of accessibility products, including Vertical Platform Lifts and modern residential elevators designed for convenience and quality. 

Vertical Platform Lifts: Safe, Reliable Access Indoors or Out 

A Vertical Platform Lift (VPL) by Cibes Symmetry provides smooth, dependable movement for wheelchair users and anyone with limited mobility — both inside and outside the home. For veterans throughout New England, these lifts are a practical way to eliminate barriers and maintain independence.

A Cibes Symmetry Vertical Platform Lift can: 
– Provide safe access to porches, decks, or garages 
– Reduce strain and fall risk when using stairs 
– Offer full independence without extensive renovations 
– Operate dependably through every season 
 
Each lift is engineered with care, combining simplicity and strength — values that align with the dedication of the veterans we serve. 

Cibes Symmetry Elevators: Compact, Quiet, and Elegant 

When space is limited but accessibility is essential, the Cibes Symmetry Ascenda elevator offers a seamless solution. This through-floor residential elevator is compact, quiet, and energy-efficient — ideal for integrating into existing homes without extensive construction. 
 
Benefits for veterans include: 
– Quick installation and minimal renovation requirements 
– Energy-efficient and quiet operation 
– Custom design options to complement home interiors 
– Reliable performance that enhances comfort and safety 
 
With Cibes Symmetry elevators, veterans can remain in the homes they love without compromise.

A Message of Gratitude and Support 

At Elevator Service Co., we’re honored to support veterans and their families across Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. As part of the Cibes Symmetry family, we share a mission of making accessibility simple, dignified, and dependable. 
 
Every elevator or platform lift we install represents more than just mobility — it’s a symbol of freedom, comfort, and appreciation for those who have given so much.

2014 HBRA Charitable Foundation Dinner

/0 Comments/in , /by

Back in early September, we ran a post on how Elevator Service Co gives back to our community. We feel it’s unfair to just highlight the good we do, when many of the associations we are connected to, or are apart of, do so much.

Friday night, November 7th, 2014, The Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Central Connecticut is hosting the 2014 Dinner and Benefit Auction. Elevator Service Co will be there to not only partake in the Silent Auction, but we also had 3 items available to bid: a % off a residential elevator, VPL, and a full installation of a straight chair lift.

Previous years, significant donations have been made to Charities such as: The Jimmy Fund, Jonathan’s Dream, The Channel 3 Kids Camp, and The Salvation Army. There was envy and endowed fund established for the UConn Health Center for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

ESCO and the Center for Disability Rights

/0 Comments/in /by

With the 67th Connecticut Home & Remodeling Show wrapping up, we have even more news coming in. On March 1st, Elevator Service Companies own Paul Farnsworth, received an invite from the Center for Disabilities Rights (CDR) to serve on a Blue Ribbon Commission. This one time commission goal is to help identify, both individuals and organizations, to help the CDR grow and advocate its goals.

The CDR is a membership organization of individuals with disabilities. They operate a Center for Independent Living, which provides services to individuals and their families. Also the CDR provides information, technical assist and education to businesses, government, and members of the community. While advocating for people with disabilities and their issues, the CDR brings their issues from a local level all the way to the national stage.

Elevator Service Companies extensive understating of ADA compliance, and our products will be a key factor in the commission. We understand the difficulty many people face when their mobility becomes less than optimal, and Paul will bring his years of knowledge and experience to the table.

ConvertaStep Added to the ESCO Product Lineup

/0 Comments/in /by

Elevator Service Company is always on the search to bring the best products to you. Thats why we are excited and proud to announce we are now the exclusive Connecticut and New York dealer for ConvertaStep Platforms.

ConvertaStep Platforms, an Illinois based company, has 10 years of experience making mobility products. President Steve Kitchin is a wheelchair user himself, and has used his personal experience to design, manufacture and market “exceptional mobility and access products”.

Where ConvertaStep brakes from the pack, is how their products fit into the homestead. A traditional wheelchair ramp is costly, and takes up far too much space. ConvertaStep Platforms can be installed at a fraction of the cost, and they take up very little room. ConvertaStep Platforms also are available in different colors or materials, making sure it will blend in with any home exterior. They are adjustable from 11” up 33”, they can lift up to 700lbs, and offer accruements like: a seat, handrails, and section sensors.

ConvertaStep Platforms may seem like a small departure from Elevator Service Company’s wheelhouse of mobility products. But when a Residential Inclined Wheelchair Lift or a Residential Vertical Platform Lift, doesn’t quite fit the project spectrum, whether its pricing, space, or compromise of styling, a ConvertaStep Platform is the choice alternative. And with Elevator Service Company as the exclusive dealer, we are able to bring you the best pricing on a ConvertaStep Platform.
