"We used Anton and his team for remodeling our basement and garage after we had water damage. They put up replacement pieces of sheetrock which looked amazing. Absolutely no lines just perfectly level walls. Their workmanship was outstanding. The owner was on site a lot of the time and his team worked very neatly. The painting was simply outstanding. The room looks like brand new. Pricing was extremely fair especially for such quality, high end work. Anton and European Craftsman will be our only call the next time we need work done. Thank you Anton!"

"Dave Nessel and his stellar company, Unique Construction NY Inc. are the BEST. Allow me tell you why- On May 15th 2022 at 5:45 p.m., my house was hit by, what electrical engineers later estimated, was at least 80,000 volts of lightning. That huge, direct surge of energy destroyed all the systems and contents that made my house more than four walls and a roof. In addition to the bolt of lightning destroying all the systems in the house, it caused a violent, destructive fire. Thankfully I was home at the time of the incident, or the house would have quickly burned down all the way down and my pets would have suffered a terrible fate. Still, after all was said and done what had been my home for seventeen years was reduced to nothing more than an outer shell. I was immediately forced into the position to find, hire, and organize tradesmen from all specialties, negotiate the endless complexities of homeowners insurance, all while trying to find a place to live and continuing my self-employed full-time work schedule. It quickly became clear I needed the services of a general contractor. I interviewed a couple, but as soon as I met Dave I knew he was the man for the job. Dave was always on time or early. He went through the house with a fine tooth comb for hours, noticing things and problems from the destruction I hadn't noticed. His expertise of every level of construction and understanding of all aspects of housing systems (electrical, plumbing, etc) was unmatched by anyone else I had interviewed. Additionally he had an understanding of the homeowner insurance protocols and was able to interject as a supporting role (only when needed, Dave never undermined me -I'm a single female homeowner-) with professional, easy to read, paperwork, accurately demonstrating all costs. I'm confident his detailed documentation made the long slog of negotiations with my insurance representatives a little easier. Under his expert guidance, his company gutted and rebuilt my old house to beautifully modern standards while maintaining its historical charm. The rebuild came in precisely on budget and two weeks early. Dave's company Unique Construction handled my complex situation with upstanding processional skill, old fashioned kindness, and outstanding forthrightness. Dave and his crew treated me with respect, rebuilt my home, and provided a little hand holding & TLC when it seemed I needed it and I'm eternally grateful. Anyone reading this should hire Unique Construction!"

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.
