Elevator Modernization and System Upgrade Solutions

From cosmetic changes to complete new systems, you can rest easy knowing Charter Elevator has the solution you need. We have professionals who are experienced in the modernization of elevators in residential, commercial, and industrial properties.

What Is an Elevator Cosmetic Upgrade?

Sometimes, you will need to enhance the cosmetics of your elevator to remain competitive in the real estate marketplace. This might mean adding new panels, improving a ceiling, or updating fixtures. Charter Elevator will work with you to explore the options available to you.

When Should You Upgrade Your Elevator’s Systems?

Just as a new lobby can enhance the value of your building, a modernization of your elevator is a good return on investment. At some stage in its lifecycle, an older elevator doesn’t have the performance and reliability of modern elevator equipment.

When that happens, it may be time to upgrade the systems and mechanical parts for newer solutions. Charter Elevator will consult with you to customize a modernization solution to fit your needs and budget.
