Buildings in Somerville

In Somerville, most of our projects begin with an inspection order or a maintenance contract that no longer controls downtime. We survey the equipment, read the reports and build a modernization scope that fixes the cause.

Where a building in Somerville needs better accessibility, we combine modernization with upgraded signals, door timing and car controls.

Cold winters, road salt and grit wear door sills and tracks, and hydraulic cars slow down in unheated spaces.

Compliance

Elevator rules in USA

Elevators in Massachusetts are inspected and permitted under the Office of Public Safety and Inspections; most US jurisdictions adopt ASME A17.1 / A17.3 as the safety code.
Inspection intervals and permit requirements vary by city and county, so we confirm the authority having jurisdiction for every Somerville project.
Only licensed or registered elevator contractors and mechanics may install, alter or maintain elevators where the state requires it.
