Maintenance & Repair

At Independence Elevator Company, we understand the large investment that our customers make when installing elevators or purchasing buildings with them. One of the most critical factors in extending equipment life is preventative maintenance. We recommend a regular and systematic program for your elevators based on the age and condition of your equipment. For example, a 50 years old elevator will require much different maintenance than one that has just been installed. When we perform your survey, we take all of that into consideration and then recommend coverage.

Each maintenance contract is individual as well. We offer full maintenance programs as well as oil and grease contracts. We explain to our customers the difference in coverages and offer them choices based on their budgeting needs.

We know that flexibility is key to working with customers and giving them the right contract and program to fit the needs of their building.

Modernization

Even well maintained elevators have a life expectancy.  We are here to provide our customers with the planning and budgeting when that time comes. Whether the needs are mechanical or cosmetic, our team will work with our customer to plan the job from start to finish. There are many different types of modernizations, from complete replacement to smaller, cosmetic changes and repairs:

• Complete elevator replacement
• ADA compliance
• Cosmetic cab upgrades
• Hydraulic jack replacements
• Lighting upgrades
• Entrance recladding
• Door replacements
• Door equipment upgrades
• Fixture upgrades

From the design phase to completion, our team works with our customers to be sure of code compliance, quality installation and customer satisfaction.

New Installation

The key to a successful new installation is the planning phase of the project. Our project management is on each job from start to finish to ensure continuity.

We install only non-proprietary equipment of the highest quality.  Combined with our thorough maintenance program, your equipment will be safe and reliable for many years to come.

We work with our customers heavily on the front end to ensure an efficient and quality driven project completion. With our over 80 years of management experience, we have the knowledge and foresight to address any jobsite issues professionally and expeditiously.

The end result is a reliable elevator and customer peace of mind.

Violations & Inspections

Our customers know that in the event they receive a violation, it will be handled expeditiously and expertly. In the event that the violation is not covered, our team will quickly propose the item, with an explanation of what this means to our customers.

Inspections are scheduled directly with the State, at a time of their choosing. Once we make arrangements, we notify our customers of the date and time, so that they can also be prepared. If there is ever a conflict, we will reschedule and handle all correspondence.

Inspections on modernizations and new constructions jobs are included on all projects. We will take out the permits and set up all inspections with the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
