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.

What changes in Toronto

We list 4 areas inside Toronto on their own pages, because a service area is drawn by each pro and does not always reach the whole city. For home elevator, the part of town matters as much as the city.

Toronto is the principal city of a wider area we list under the name Greater Toronto Area, which takes in 27 other places. A pro's service area might be Toronto on its own or the whole of it — we match on the one they gave us.

Toronto publishes its own building-permit page, and it is linked below beside the rules that apply in Ontario. Whether home elevator needs a permit is answered there, not in a quote.

The rules we can source for this work in Ontario cover general contracting and renovation and new-home building and warranty. They are set out below with the page each one came from — the regulator's words, not ours.

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.

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.
