I’ve been wondering off hand how much an elevator or lift was. Does anyone know what the range for a basic one is? --71.161.xxx.xxx

I don't know about price or mfg, but a oersonal elevator can fit in a 4 sf box. So if you frame that out when building its an easy upgrade in the future. --99.203.xx.xxx

If you start putting these in be prepared to spend a good amount on repairs and maintenance. --70.178.x.xx

There is a small development near me that put small elevators in the first 6 units. The elevators go from the basement garage to the first floor & onto the second floor. Since they have only been on the market less than a week there isn't any real feedback on them. I imagine that if there is enough interest they will be adding elevators to the rest of the units. These units are 2 1/2 bath, 3 bedrooms, hardwood floors duplexes starting at $699,000.00. --71.174.xxx.xx

Then there are the cargo lifts. We have looked into those too. It would be exterior, against our deck, and could take us to the second and even third story if we needed it to. That solution was less that 10k, I believe. So when time comes, that's the way we'll be going. --50.82.xxx.xxx

Add maintenance contract or yearly checkup and break/fix when it happens. --50.5.xxx.xx

JAC is right on the money, from what I see online the average cost is about 20K - 60K depending on what type of elevator 1 chooses, (chain driven, cable driven, hydraulic, or pneumatic) --174.196.xxx.xx

Elevators once installed may require monthly inspections where safety is important. Depending on the size of elevator then three phase 600 VAC maybe required. If possible where land is not at premium build on one floor where low maintenance. --147.194.xxx.xx

NE, 3 years ago a friend built a new house with an residential elevator. He selected a 3 person model with a wood paneled interior; I don't think that any option was deleted. He paid $30,000 installed. I believe a 1 person plain jane model ws priced at $12,000 installed.As JAC points out, the residential elevator is completely different from a commercial elevator. --67.43.xxx.xxx

I absolutely see the value in it. I would not hesitate to put one in my own home or a flip house. I don’t know if I would put one in a rental for the same reason I don’t like garbage disposals in a rental. --68.118.xxx.xx

Even the most basic wheelchair lift will be 15K - 20K installed. The price varies greatly based on height, from what I see to get a lift for a 2 story house your looking at 15K and up. The higher you go, the more it costs obviously. --174.196.xxx.xx

I hit submit to soon, installation cost will obviously vary based on whether it’s going in new construction, or being retrofitted. I’m looking at retrofitted prices. --174.196.xxx.xx

Got a friend who did a total renovation on their home, including adding a second story, and added what was needed for an elevator. At the time, 5 years ago, they planned to spend $20K for the elevator itself. The wheelchair person passed away before it was purchased, but after the support work was completed. --67.43.xxx.xxx

In a commercial building, I was getting a quote for as little as $98,000 --24.101.xxx.xx
