Hello, my name is Al Birkenmeier, I am president of Birkenmeier and Sons, Inc.. So grateful for Angie's List and the Super Service Award 11 years in a row. I started my custom building and remodeling company in 1980 after 9 years in the commercial construction industry working with companies like McCarthy Bros., Hercules and Tarlton. I have pursued my love of providing the highest quality of construction while working hard at keeping my overhead down to keep it as affordable as possible. The proof is always in what my past has to offer so please don't hesitate to contact my past clients through a client reference list I would be happy to share with you as 99.9% are not Angie's List Members. Our quality of work and service is second to none so please let us offer you a no cost estimate and opinion for your next custom home or remodeling project. Thank you much, Al Birkenmeier
"Al is a true professional and we are so glad we chose Birkenmeier & Sons. First of all, Al brought his subcontractors with him to the initial meeting so he could provide an accurate proposal. Al also brought in a professional decorator to help design project and pick out fixtures and materials. Once we got started, they went to great lengths to put up plastic barriers and floor protection to protect the rest of the house from construction dust and debris. Demolition went quickly and the renovation process went smoothly. Al's carpenters and subs were all very professional and friendly. Al was on scene throughout the process to make sure job was done right. We are completely satisfied with the results, highly recommended!"

Yes, if accessibility is a priority, installing a home elevator is often a better choice than a stair lift. Elevators allow for the safe transport of people, items, and mobility equipment like walkers or wheelchairs between floors. While stair lifts are less expensive and easier to install, they don't accommodate mobility equipment, which can limit independence for those with reduced mobility.
Installing a home elevator takes between two and four weeks from the start of site preparation to the final inspection, depending on the complexity of your project and any specific modifications needed for your home. More complex installations that require significant structural adjustments can extend the timeline to several weeks or even months. Always consult with professional installers to get a detailed schedule tailored to your project requirements.
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure your elevator's safety and longevity. With proper care, your home elevator can remain operational for decades. Cable-driven models require cable replacement every five years to meet safety standards. Regular professional service and scheduled inspections address wear and tear, ensuring your elevator performs reliably over its lifespan.
Choosing an elevator type depends on your priorities. If you want to add a luxurious feature to your home, a glass, vacuum-powered, pneumatic elevator might be the right choice. If accessibility in a smaller home is a bigger concern, a simple vertical lift platform may be best. If you're retrofitting, a shaftless elevator or gearless traction elevator might be the best option.
Home elevators are safe when installed by licensed professionals who adhere to strict building codes and inspections. A comprehensive home inspection ensures that every component meets established safety standards. Incorporating additional safety overrides and advanced security devices further enhances operation, with some features costing an extra $2,500. These measures guarantee a reliable and secure system for your home.
Stair lifts cost between $2,000 and $20,000 and serve as an affordable alternative to home elevators, especially for individual mobility on stairs. However, stair lifts do not transport larger items or mobility equipment such as wheelchairs. Professional installation is required to ensure safe operation, and you should carefully assess your specific accessibility requirements before choosing between these options.
