Our Story
We believe safe and dependable operation of elevators is an essential necessity of every multi-story building.
We believe Building and Facility Managers expect their service company to provide knowledgeable, timely and cost effective service.
We believe the Owner of the Building should have access to all prints and manuals that will allow them to choose a service company that provides the best service. The manufacturer and the installer of the elevator must ensure that the Owner’s rights are protected.
We believe responses to emergencies and entrapments must be immediate and 24/7.
