.entry-header --> <div class="entry-content"> <p>Let’s imagine that you have a 2-story home, or a 2-story home with a basement, and you would like to add an elevator to it. You might consider doing this because you or someone else in your household has recently started using a wheelchair, or because of age. Or you might be doing it simply because it is cool.</p> <p>If you are building a new house you can obviously design the space for the elevator shaft right into the house and it is no problem. You might install an elevator like this one in the shaft:</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe title="Home Lift" width="474" height="356" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Z_BCZX-wHSA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div></figure> <p><a href="http://www.signatureelevators.com/four.htm">This article</a> describes the four different drive mechanisms used to move residential elevators up and down. The one depicted above uses an electric motor, a chain drive and a counterweight. There are also pneumatic tube elevators that use a vacuum system to raise the elevator cab in a tube:</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe title="PVE Pneumatic Vacuum Elevator" width="474" height="356" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/y2_mbWPu_go?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div></figure> <figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGv16wREYD0 </div></figure> <p>But if you are not building a new house, then you have 3 options:</p> <p>1) Add an elevator shaft in available space inside the home. You might, for example, have room in or near the foyer or living room. You might make it a glass elevator, and when you get done it will look like this:</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe loading="lazy" title="Option 2 - How to install an elevator to a building without one?" width="474" height="267" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1yrSZ7SQJzk?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div></figure> <figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe loading="lazy" title="How to Install an Elevator in your Living Room!" width="474" height="267" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aqMZfQODJZo?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div></figure> <p>2) You can add a new elevator shaft outside the home. The following video shows what an exterior glass elevator might look like:</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe loading="lazy" title="How to Install a Home Elevator | Ask This Old House" width="474" height="267" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5rc_nzA2dSU?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div></figure> <p>It could also be an non-glass shaft that matches your existing siding.</p> <p>3) You can add an elevator shaft during a “gut/rehab” of the interior of your home, as described here:</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe loading="lazy" title="Adding An Elevator To Your Home" width="474" height="267" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ehzNzKiryow?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div></figure> <p>In the previous video, the topic of price comes up. He mentions $20,000, then moves to $30,000, then suggests that framing, finishing and wiring are additional expenses that push the cost toward $40,000 or $50,000.</p> <p>What if you don’t have $50K? Stair lifts are available from a number of companies and provide a lower-cost option. Here is one example:</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
