Advanced Elevator is owned by a local group of individuals with extensive experience in the elevator industry. Locally owned and operated since 1983, we continue our rich tradition of providing our customers with the highest quality elevator products and services.

We provide the highest quality of preventative maintenance in order to minimize emergency repairs and untimely shutdowns. If an emergency repair is needed, our immediate response will drastically reduce the downtime of the elevator. In some cases, a full elevator modernization is needed. Technological advances in our industry allow us to replace older systems with new high efficiency elevator products, resulting in increased efficiency and a reduction in untimely shutdowns. Advanced Elevator installs non-proprietary equipment in all modernization and new installation projects. This gives building owners the freedom to choose any elevator service provider in the future.
