Whoever the elevator is for, we’ll match you with installers who can quote it

We’re an independent comparison service, not an installer. We match you with up to 3 licensed local installers and the quotes come from them, each priced for the way the elevator will actually be used: getting between floors on your own, or rolling straight in with a wheelchair.

Getting between floors on your own

A compact one or two-person cab that fits in a corner of a room you already have. Most take up about the footprint of an armchair, and the shaftless kind needs no machine room and no pit.

Rolling straight in, with room to turn

A wider cab with a level entry and no threshold to lift over, sized for a chair or scooter and a caregiver alongside. Ask the installers about ADA-referenced dimensions and controls when they survey.

Buying a home elevator in Colorado

No two homes price the same, so installers assess your property before they put a number on paper. Five things move the price, and comparing up to three written estimates is the fastest way to see what is fair for your house. Financing is available through our installer partners, so ask each one to price a monthly payment next to the cash price.

Four questions worth asking every installer

  • Who pulls the permit, and what inspection is required? Colorado regulates elevators through the Division of Oil and Public Safety. A good installer knows exactly what your county requires and handles the paperwork for you.
  • How is the drive specified for altitude and cold? Mountain and foothills homes see wide temperature swings. Hydraulic systems in particular should be rated for where you live, not for sea level.
  • Would a through-floor lift suit the house better than a full elevator? Split-level and tri-level homes are common along the Front Range. For two stops, a compact lift saves a lot of framing work.
  • Where is your nearest service technician based? Matters most outside the Denver metro. Ask what the maintenance plan covers and what a realistic service call time is for your address.

Colorado home elevator FAQs

Do I need a permit for a home elevator in Colorado?

Residential elevator installations generally require a permit and an inspection. Your installer confirms what applies to your home and county, and normally handles the paperwork as part of the job.

Can an elevator be added to a house that is already built?

Yes. Most Colorado installs are retrofits. A shaftless or through-floor elevator needs the least framing work; a traditional hoistway elevator needs more but gives you a larger cab and higher capacity.

Are the estimates really free?

Yes. Each installer visits your home, measures up and gives you a written estimate at no cost. You decide whether to move forward, and with whom.

Can I finance a home elevator in Colorado?

Yes. Our installer partners offer financing, so the cost can be spread over time rather than paid up front. Ask each installer to include a financed price alongside the cash price so you can compare both. Rates, terms and approval are set by the installer and their lender, not by us.

How long does installation take?

It depends on the model and how much framing and electrical work is needed. Your installers will give you a realistic timeline with their estimate.
