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.

Home elevator permits in Ontario
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.
Licensing in Ontario
General contracting and renovation
Renovating an existing home generally doesn’t require an HCRA builder licence: HCRA says renovations or upgrades typically don’t make a home “new”. Ontario advises checking references, WSIB coverage and trade certificates before you hire.

New-home building and warranty
All new-home builders and sellers must be licensed by the HCRA, and new homes come with warranty coverage backed by Tarion.

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.
