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 New York
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 New York
General contracting and renovation
Contractor licensing in New York is local, not statewide, so the rule depends on where you live. In New York City a Home Improvement Contractor licence is required for construction, repair, remodeling and other home improvement work, including basements, driveways, fences, garages, patios, porches, swimming pools and terraces. Buffalo issues its own contractor licences.

Consumer protection
Before you hire in New York City, check the contractor's licence status with the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, which licenses tens of thousands of businesses across dozens of industries.

General contracting and renovation
The Uniform Code and the Energy Code sit in Title 19 of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations, and the Code Council updates them: the 2025 editions of the Residential, Building, Plumbing, Mechanical, Fuel Gas, Fire, Property Maintenance and Existing Building Codes of New York State took effect on December 31, 2025.

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.
