THE MECHANICS OF
OWNING A RESIDENTIAL
ELEVATOR — MADE EASY
Elevators can come in many sizes, from a one-person cab to 15 square feet, depending on your needs and space requirements.
The manufacturer is critical. Marchal/ Stevenson Elevator Co. works with Inclinator Company of America and
National Wheel-O-Vator, two of the major names in the industry.
Whether you use a winding drum unit or a hydraulic unit, the power source is one of the first crucial decisions. Rely on experts in the field, like Marchal/Stevenson.
A glass shaft outside the house? The wood species for the interior of the cab? A mural? “Endless custom options allow you to create a distinctive elevator suited to your lifestyle,” says Kristin Rivadeneira of Marchal/Stevenson.
Elevator companies should work closely with the builder and homeowner.
Marchal/Stevenson puts in double-time
to stay on top of their clients’ requests.
According to Inclinator Co. of America, at the national level, home values rise up to 10 percent with the addition of an
elevator.
While electrical usage varies, most residential elevators cost just pennies a day to operate.

Kristin Rivadeneira, sales representative,
Marchal/Stevenson Elevator Co.
“Elevators are surprisingly practical: They allow you to stay in your
multilevel home for your lifetime, plus you can easily accommodate aging
relatives and visitors. Elevators also provide everyday convenience.
“Elevators can serve as a focal point of the home, providing an
element that is both elegant and functional. At Marchal/Stevenson, we see
two major market sectors for elevators here in Houston. There is, of course,
the aging population. And there is also the upscale residential market. We
provide elevators for structures up to five floors, with the majority of our
business in two-floor to four-floor homes.
“When installing an elevator in a new or an existing home, you will
want to use someone who will be there from framing to finish out. Also,
keep in mind that a reputable service crew, like Marchal/Stevenson’s, is
key to ensuring the longevity of an elevator.”
