Family-owned. Independently operated. Union-trained. We design, install, modernize, and maintain elevators across Michigan — from single-family residences to high-rise commercial buildings.
From new construction to legacy modernization, our journeyperson mechanics handle every step in-house — fewer subcontractors, faster turnarounds, and a single point of accountability.
Traction and hydraulic elevators, dumbwaiters, stage lifts, material lifts, and custom hoisting systems for new commercial and residential construction.
Scheduled preventative maintenance, code-required testing, and emergency repairs. Properly maintained equipment is the difference between safe operation and a callback.
When controllers, motors, or fixtures reach end of life, we offer phased upgrade packages that extend equipment lifespan without replacing the entire system.
Our in-house digging equipment handles pit deepening and code upgrades that most local contractors must subcontract — keeping your project on schedule and on budget.
Whether you're building a new home or retrofitting an existing one, our residential program offers extensive cab and gate customization — wood veneers, aluminum systems, fixture finishes, and beyond.
Countless other custom options available — call (313) 568-1600 to discuss your project.
