What to know about Home elevators & lifts

Before anything else about home elevators: there is a gap inside many of them that has killed children. The Consumer Product Safety Commission describes the hazard plainly, warning that young children can become entrapped in the space between the exterior landing, or hoistway, door and the interior elevator car door or gate where there is a hazardous gap, and can suffer serious injuries or death when the elevator is then called to another floor. Three children were entrapped that way during the summer of 2021, and one seven-year-old boy suffered fatal injuries in an elevator at a vacation rental home in North Carolina.

Home elevator permits in Baltimore

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 Maryland

  • General contracting and renovation

    Only an MHIC licensed contractor may enter into a home improvement contract with a homeowner, so ask for the licence number and check it before you sign anything. Since 2016 a subcontractor working for a licensed contractor no longer needs a licence of their own, which means the licence to check is the one belonging to the firm you are contracting with.

  • Consumer protection

    Your contract must be in writing and legible, and it must carry the contractor's name, address and MHIC licence number, a description of the work and the materials, and the approximate dates when work will start and be substantially complete. You must be given a signed copy before the work starts.

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.
