Frequently Asked Questions

Common Elevator Modernization Questions


How do I know if my elevator in Brooklyn needs modernization?

carret-right

Frequent breakdowns, outdated technology, slow performance, or noncompliance are key signs. We offer free inspections throughout Brooklyn to evaluate your system.

How long does a typical modernization take?

carret-right

It depends on the scope, but we provide a full schedule before starting and coordinate with Brooklyn building managers to reduce downtime.

Can I upgrade just the cab interior?

carret-right

Absolutely. If your mechanics are sound, a cab refresh can enhance the look and feel of your elevator without a full system upgrade.

Will the elevator be shut down during the upgrade?

carret-right

Most likely, yes — but we work efficiently to minimize elevator downtime and clearly communicate the timeline with all tenants.

What’s included in a full modernization?

carret-right

Usually includes new controllers, machines, wiring, door systems, and safety upgrades. We tailor each project to your building's specific needs.
