Hello all,
We are thinking about building a new house and have many concerns. We would like to build a ranch, but I never knew they are more expensive to build than 2 story homes. Soo, we are now considering the idea of a 2 story home with a home elevator. I've done a little research and it seems that if you design the elevator shaft into the blueprints, it saves a lot of money compared to remodeling an existing home. So I am thinking that since a 2 story is cheaper to build than a ranch, it might even out after the cost of the elevator and installation.
So, for anyone who has an elevator in their home, how much did it cost? What type of elevator and who installed it? We are in western Pennsylvania. Any recommendations for installers in that area? How do you like your elevator - any complaints or issues? Has anyone built their house with blueprints allowing for the elevator? If so, did this save you a lot of money?
I know a lot of questions but any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
