South Jersey Elevator recently installed a new residential elevator in Longport, NJ. This residential elevator installation was done as a new construction project. The client was building a shore home and wanted to install an elevator to ensure lifelong mobility throughout the home. The installation process begins after contractors framed and completed the hoist way. We assist contractors to ensure the hoist way is built to the proper measurements for the pending elevator. After this process we begin our elevator installation process. All elevator materials at this stage are delivered to the home to being installation.
