Freedom Elevators

Freedom elevators are our traditional models, driven by a traction or hydraulic system with a 950 lb. lifting capacity.

Vision elevators are panoramic, stand-alone models with no hoistway, a minimal footprint and a 360 degree view. They run on a winding drum system or pneumatic vacuum technology.

  • Up to 50 feet and 5 stops

Home Elevator Installation in Maryland and Virginia

Colonial townhouses in Annapolis, rowhouses in Baltimore and multi-level homes across Washington and Northern Virginia have one thing in common: a lot of stairs. Nationwide Lifts of Maryland designs and installs residential elevators that take those stairs out of the picture.

We explain every option at a free in-home visit. Request yours or call (202) 480-2921.

Elevators for Townhouses and Rowhouses

Narrow, tall houses are our most common project. Compact and pneumatic models have a small footprint, and stacked closets or a rear room often provide the space. Read home elevators for townhouses and rowhouses and, for older properties, adding an elevator to a historic home.

Cost and New Construction

Budget guidance is in home elevator cost in the DC area. If you are building, planning a home elevator in new construction shows what to ask your architect for. Waterfront owners should see home elevators for waterfront and elevated homes.

Is There a Simpler Option?

A stair lift covers a single staircase for far less, a platform lift handles a short rise, and a dumbwaiter carries the groceries. Request a free in-home visit.

Questions About Home Elevators

Can an elevator be added to a townhouse or rowhouse?

Often, yes. Compact and pneumatic elevators have a small footprint, and stacked closets or a rear room can provide the space. We assess each house individually.

How many floors can a home elevator serve?

Most home elevators serve between two and four levels, depending on the model. Tell us which floors you need to reach and we will recommend a suitable type.

Are home elevators only for people with disabilities?

No. Many owners install one for convenience, to plan ahead for later life, or simply to move luggage, laundry and groceries in a tall house.

Do you service elevators after installation?

Yes. Regular maintenance keeps an elevator safe and reliable, and we look after the equipment we install.
