Home Elevators & Stair Lifts in Boston

Serving Boston, Cambridge, Brookline and Newton

Boston homes are tall, narrow and full of stairs. From brownstones in the Back Bay and South End to triple-deckers in Dorchester and Jamaica Plain, the staircase is often the one thing standing between a family and staying in the house they love. Nationwide Lifts of Massachusetts installs and services home elevators and stair lifts across Boston, Cambridge, Brookline, Newton and the surrounding towns.

We are a family business based in Wilmington, about 20 minutes north of the city, with licensed Massachusetts elevator mechanics on our own staff. Meet our team.

What We Install in Boston

Stair Lift and Home Elevator Installation

In a brownstone or row house, a compact residential elevator can often rise through a stack of closets or the rear of the building, and pneumatic models need no pit or machine room. In a triple-decker, the long straight stair to an upper unit suits a stair lift installation, usually completed in a few hours. Where a few steps at the front door are the barrier, a vertical platform lift is the answer, and a residential dumbwaiter takes over the carrying between floors.

Questions from Boston homeowners

Can a home elevator be added to a Boston brownstone?

Often, yes. Compact and pneumatic elevators have a small footprint. A structural review is part of the project, and exterior changes in a historic district may need approval.

Will a stair lift fit the narrow stairs in a triple-decker?

In most cases, yes. The Indy Pinnacle folds to 11 inches from the wall, and we measure the staircase before quoting.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes. Home elevators in Massachusetts are permitted and inspected, and our licensed team manages that process.

…thanks for staying on this because many others would have not. Customer service and follow up is actually more important than the original contract and I actually use you guys and this example with my own company when I speak about what makes a customer return.

Bob and Terry at Nationwide are very professional and made my purchase very easy and smooth. They kept me well informed of the delivery date of my lift and were very flexible with my schedule as to the install date as well. They keep me up to date as to when my service is due as well as my annual inspection. Anytime I have a question, Terry is very quick to get back to me in a timely manner.

Nationwide are truly professional. At the very beginning everything seemed difficult for us to wrap our minds around. They guided us through everything and gave our contractor detailed instructions on all the requirements needed to install our elevator. Our contractor wanted them to inspect his construction before the delivery was scheduled to make sure everything was exactly the way it was needed and they accommodated his wishes without hesitation. We have been enjoying our elevator and have service from them several times since installation. Everything happened just like they said it would happen, delivery, installation and service call have all been top shelf.

I really do not know how I can write my appreciation and positive feelings I have towards you and your company. When I installed this equipment, I told you that you were great handling everything for us. Now after more than one year, you and your company shown us again that you care about me and my family. It is very rare to see this type of support these days.i called you at 3 pm from Asia and you responded within 15 min and arranged people to come before 5 pm and resolved the issue before 6 pm. Unbelievable since I am always worry about my wife health. What you and your company showed me was there are still people who care about other people in this world

We needed to install an elevator for our handicapped son and we got several estimates from companies though out Massachusetts. Bob from Nationwide lifts of Mass gave us the most complete estimate including detailed information about the installation process and his experience with installing residential elevators. The service Nationwide lifts provided was excellent. Bob and his staff were very professional and completed the job as scheduled. Nationwide Lifts paid attention to every detail and made the whole process very easy and stress free. The maintenance and service provided by Bob after the installation has been extremely timely, reliable and dependable. I would recommend Nationwide Lifts of Mass to anyone looking to install and elevator or other lift.

Hi Terry, Well since we've moved and started using the dumb waiter, I have to say it was a smart decision picking Nationwide to install it for us! Plus you and Bob have been great to work with!
