Buildings in Romeoville, Plainfield, Bolingbrook and Orland Park span several generations of elevator technology — relay controls in older towers, early microprocessor systems from the 1990s and newer machine-room-less units. Our work starts by identifying which generation you have, because that decides what can be repaired and what should be replaced.
We also review existing maintenance contracts so the new equipment is looked after properly once it is installed.
Cold winters, road salt and grit wear door sills and tracks, and hydraulic cars slow down in unheated spaces.
