Passenger Elevators Invade Suburban HomesRhonda Fine's morning ritual generally goes like this: Get out of bed, throw on sweats and wake up the dog for a walk. Pretty standard stuff except for one more step: She pushes a button in her third-floor bedroom for an elevator to take them to the ground floor. Some house-hunters insist on gourmet kitchens, others on antique moldings or sprawling backyards. Now comes a new, even more ostentatious status symbol for the condo, townhouse and suburban home: the passenger elevator. Remodeling for AccessibilityMany remodeling projects today include removing barriers to accessibility within a person's home. The stairs are the most significant obstacle. When comparing the cost of an elevator to moving expenses and real estate commissions, remodeling for a home elevator is much more affordable and less stressful. Knowing how to incorporate elevators into project design and construction is becoming more important to remodeling contractors. Designing Home Elevators that Fit Your LifestyleSo you think the stairs in your multilevel home are about to force you out? Well, don't call the moving company just yet.
