Top 3 Reasons to Consider a Home Elevator
Home elevators are no longer reserved for luxury estates or high-rise buildings, they’re becoming a smart, stylish, and highly practical addition to homes of all sizes. Whether you’re looking to enhance accessibility, prepare your home for aging in place, or increase its long-term value, a residential elevator can be a transformative investment.
At Glickman Design Build, we specialize in integrating elevators seamlessly into new and existing homes. Here are the top three reasons homeowners are choosing to elevate their spaces, literally and figuratively.
1. Accessibility for All Ages and Abilities
Perhaps the most common reason to install a home elevator is to improve accessibility. Whether you’re planning ahead for the future or accommodating a family member with mobility challenges, an elevator ensures that all levels of your home are reachable without relying on stairs or bulky stair-climber systems.
Glickman has decades of experience in accessible home design, and we take pride in customizing elevator installations to meet the unique needs of each family. From compact, shaftless models to fully enclosed elevators with sleek finishes and advanced technology, we ensure that functionality meets elegance.
Bonus Benefit: Elevators are not just for individuals with limited mobility, they also make everyday living easier by reducing strain when carrying groceries, laundry, or luggage between floors.
2. Increased Home Value and Market Appeal
Adding a home elevator can significantly boost your home’s value and broaden its market appeal. Buyers are increasingly looking for homes that support multigenerational living, aging in place, and long-term comfort. A professionally installed elevator is a standout feature that signals thoughtful design and future readiness.
In fact, studies show that homes with accessibility upgrades, including elevators, often sell faster and command higher prices, especially in competitive markets where high-end features make all the difference.
When Glickman installs an elevator, we ensure it’s seamlessly integrated into your home’s architecture, complementing its style rather than detracting from it. That design-forward approach helps ensure your investment is not only practical but beautiful.
3. Luxury and Convenience Every Day
Let’s face it, elevators also add a touch of luxury. Beyond accessibility, they offer daily convenience and a sense of modern sophistication that many homeowners appreciate. From polished metal finishes to wood-paneled interiors and soft lighting, today’s elevators can be designed to reflect your personal taste.
Whether you’re building a new custom home or renovating a cherished space, adding an elevator with Glickman is more than a practical upgrade, it’s a lifestyle enhancement. Our expert team handles everything from planning and permits to design and installation, making the process easy and stress-free.
