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.

No permit page published by Dartmouth itself has been verified for this site, so what is below is what applies in Nova Scotia. If home elevator needs a permit, ask who is pulling it and whether it is in the price.
Our Nova Scotia guide has no rule written for this trade, so there is none below. That is not the same as nothing applying: ask for proof of insurance, and for anything that touches gas, wiring or drains, ask who is certified to do it.

Home elevator permits in Nova Scotia
Some home elevator work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
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.
