FAQ
Cost depends on the number of cars and stops, whether the machine is replaced, door equipment and finishes. A condition survey produces an itemized scope and cost range; phasing spreads the spend.
Usually several weeks per car, depending on scope. We phase multi-car buildings so at least one elevator keeps running.
Sometimes. A partial modernization (controller and drive, or doors) can be the right first step if the machine and other components are in good condition.
Work follows the elevator safety code (ASME A17.1 / CSA B44) as adopted in Illinois, and devices are licensed and inspected by the Office of the State Fire Marshal (with the City of Chicago for Chicago buildings).
Yes — a capital plan lists each car, its condition and the recommended timing and cost range of work.
Chicago metro
Buildings in Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, Hoffman Estates and Wheeling 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.
Every project is closed out with test records and documentation ready for the Office of the State Fire Marshal (with the City of Chicago for Chicago buildings) acceptance.
Cold winters, road salt and grit wear door sills and tracks, and hydraulic cars slow down in unheated spaces.
