The Real Number
Same home elevator, very different quotes.
The spread is shaft or cylinder scope, stops, capacity, and finish. Compare written, itemized bids so you can see what you're actually buying.
Ask each contractor for a written, itemized quote before any work starts.
Free to request, no obligation. You choose who to hire.
Independent local contractors. Confirm license, insurance and references before you hire; see our Terms.
Ask for an itemized scope: shaft or cylinder, cab, drive, electrical, each on its own line rather than one lump-sum price.
Your request goes to independent contractors, who contact you directly.
Ask for a written start and completion window, with permit and state elevator safety filing dependencies listed as separate line items.
Ask for rated capacity and cab clearance to be confirmed in writing against your actual mobility equipment before you sign.

Good to Know
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is this service really free?
Yes. There is never a cost to submit a request or be matched. We may receive a referral fee from the contractor, which never affects your quoted price.
How much does a home elevator cost in St. Louis?
Cost depends on elevator type, number of stops, whether a shaft already exists, and finish level; compare written, itemized bids. See our cost breakdown for the factors.
Do I need a permit for a home elevator in Missouri?
Nearly every installation needs a local building and electrical permit, plus compliance with Missouri's statewide elevator safety inspection framework. See our Missouri permit guide.
How fast will I be contacted?
Your request is passed to independent local contractors, who contact you directly. Response times vary by contractor.
Elevator or stairlift — which do I need?
Stairlifts suit a single resident who can transfer independently and want a lower-cost, faster install. Elevators suit full-time wheelchair use, multiple residents, or a long-term aging-in-place plan. See our comparison guide.
Can an elevator be retrofitted into an existing home?
Often yes, using a vacuum elevator or a compact hydraulic cab routed through stacked closets, avoiding a full renovation. Feasibility depends on your floor plan — see our shaft retrofit guide.
