Installed residential home elevator cost (equipment, cab, hoistway construction, electrical work and permits) by state (2026)

A typical complete residential elevator project, meaning the unit, cab, hoistway construction, electrical work and permits, commonly lands somewhere in this range as of 2026-09-08, but it varies widely with drive type, number of stops, door choice, finishes and whether the home is new or existing. Treat every figure here as a planning guide and rely on itemized local bids, not on an index. If you use our quote request form, note that its budget bands are broad tiers shared across our sites; a complete elevator project normally belongs in the highest band.
