Our team understands that coastal elevators face challenges that inland buildings never see -- salt air corrosion, hurricane exposure, and the heavy seasonal traffic that comes with resort communities. We built our service around these realities so property managers can focus on their residents, not their elevators.

Get in TouchWe specialize in elevator service for coastal condos, resorts, and managed properties. Every service we offer is designed around the unique demands of beachfront buildings.
Our preventive maintenance programs are built specifically for the coastal environment. Salt air accelerates corrosion on door tracks, electrical contacts, and mechanical components in ways that standard maintenance intervals do not account for. We adjust our schedules and methods accordingly.
Each visit includes a detailed checklist tailored to your equipment, and we provide written reports that are ready for your condo board or property management company. No surprises, no jargon -- just clear documentation of what was done and what to watch for.
Many coastal condominiums were built in the 1980s and 1990s, and their elevators are showing their age. Modernization does not always mean a full replacement. Often, targeted upgrades to the controller, door operator, or cab interior can extend the life of your equipment by a decade or more.
We work with your budget and timeline to phase upgrades when a full replacement is not feasible. Every project includes a scope document, timeline, and cost breakdown so your board can make informed decisions.
When an elevator goes down in a high-rise condo during peak season, every hour matters. Our emergency line is answered by a real person 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We dispatch a mechanic immediately and keep you informed until the job is done.
We carry common replacement parts on our trucks so many repairs can be completed in a single visit. For entrapments, we prioritize passenger safety and work with local fire departments when needed.
State law requires annual Category 1 inspections for all commercial elevators. We handle the entire process -- scheduling, testing, documentation, and follow-up with the state inspector. You get a complete inspection package ready for your files.
We also provide pre-inspection checks so there are no surprises on inspection day. If we find issues during the pre-check, we address them before the state inspector arrives.
Accessibility requirements apply to all public-use elevators, including condo common areas. Whether you are updating an older building to current standards or addressing a specific complaint, we can assess your equipment and recommend the most practical path to compliance.
We focus on practical solutions that meet the code without unnecessary expense. Many ADA upgrades can be completed during routine maintenance visits to minimize disruption to your residents.
Coastal properties face unique risks during hurricane season. Flooding, power surges, and salt-laden wind can cause serious damage to elevator equipment. We offer pre-storm preparation services that protect your investment and post-storm inspections that get your building back in service quickly.
Our hurricane protocol has been refined over years of working through storm seasons on the Carolina coast. We know which components are most vulnerable, how to protect them, and what to check first when the storm passes.
Built for the coast, focused on your building.
Coastal Elevator Service was founded to serve the unique needs of coastal properties. We saw that most elevator companies treat a beachfront high-rise the same way they treat an office building 50 miles inland -- and that approach leads to problems. Salt air, humidity, and storm exposure create challenges that require specialized knowledge and different maintenance practices.
Our team works exclusively with coastal properties. Every building we service is within a few miles of the water, which means we understand the environmental factors that affect your equipment. We have seen what salt fog does to door tracks, how humidity affects electrical contacts, and what happens to hydraulic systems in flood-prone buildings. That experience shapes everything we do.
We keep our operation lean and local. When you call us, you talk to someone who knows your building. When a mechanic shows up, it is someone who has been there before. We believe that consistency and familiarity are the foundation of good service, especially for condo associations and property managers who need a contractor they can rely on year after year.
