What to know about Home elevators & lifts
A home elevator or lift lets someone keep using every floor of the house when stairs become hard, whether because of age, an injury, a progressive condition or a wheelchair. The options range from a stair lift, a seat that travels along a rail fixed to the stairs, to a vertical platform lift that raises a wheelchair from the driveway to the porch or between floors, to a residential elevator with its own shaft and cab.

Licensing in Alberta
Consumer protection
A contracting business that negotiates or concludes a contract with you in person away from its place of business and takes money before all the work on your home is done needs a prepaid contracting licence.

New-home building and warranty
All residential builders must have a licence to obtain permits for new homes, and the New Home Buyer Protection Act requires home warranty coverage on all new residential homes.

This type of work often has to be done by a licensed or certified trade. Ask to see licences and proof of insurance before work starts.

Common home elevator questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
