Every Stiltz home elevator install in Santa Barbara County follows the same process.
Traditional residential elevators require a shaft, a machine room, and major construction — often tens of thousands of dollars in renovation on top of the equipment. The Stiltz freestanding elevator was designed to avoid all of that.
The Stiltz sits freestanding in your home. No load-bearing wall changes, no separate mechanical room.
Roughly the size of a small closet — fits in almost any room without major structural changes.
Stiltz offers configurations that accommodate a wheelchair occupant plus a companion. We'll walk you through which model fits your needs.
Minimal disruption to your home. No weeks of construction — we coordinate the electrical and site prep as part of the install.
A home elevator is a bigger investment than a stairlift, and for many homeowners a stairlift solves the problem perfectly. But there are specific situations where an elevator is the right call. Here's an honest breakdown so you can decide.

A stairlift is a seat that rides along a rail attached to your existing stairs — you transfer onto it to go up or down. A home elevator is a cabin you enter (standing, seated, or in a wheelchair) that travels between floors through its own opening in the floor. Stairlifts are faster and less expensive; elevators are more versatile, carry more weight, and work with mobility equipment like wheelchairs and walkers.
No. The Stiltz freestanding home elevator was specifically designed to avoid that. It doesn't need a shaft, a machine room, or load-bearing wall changes. The only structural work is a small opening in the floor for the cabin to pass through.
Roughly the footprint of a small closet. Stiltz freestanding elevators are designed to fit in almost any room without major structural changes. During your in-home assessment we'll walk through possible locations with you.
Quick installs with minimal disruption to your home. There's a lead time of several weeks to order and prepare the unit, and we give you an accurate on-site timeline after the in-home assessment.
A Stiltz residential elevator is a serious investment, but because it's freestanding it avoids the shaft construction and machine-room costs that come with traditional elevators. Final pricing depends on model, finishes, and site specifics — accurate pricing comes from a free in-home assessment.
