- We don't sell elevators
We make sure the one you buy is exactly right.
Most homeowners first meet their elevator through a salesperson. We think it should begin with someone who works only for you.
AboveAll Elevator Group is a consulting firm, not a dealer. We take no commissions from manufacturers or installers, which leaves us free to recommend the drive system, cab and contractor that genuinely suit your home, your family and Florida’s climate — then hold everyone accountable to it.
- Brand-agnostic advice across hydraulic, traction, cable-drum and vacuum systems
- One accountable point of contact from first sketch to final ride
- Fixed-fee engagements, disclosed up front — no hidden markups

- We don't sell elevators
Every floor, considered.
Six disciplines, one advisor. Engage us for a single feasibility study or for complete owner’s representation from concept to commissioning.
Feasibility & Site Study
Where the shaft lives, whether you need a pit, what your flood zone allows and what it will truly cost — answered before anyone sells you anything.
Design & Specification
Drive systems, glass hoistways, cab joinery, lighting and smart-home integration, specified to the same standard as your architecture.
Code & Permitting
ASME A17.1 §5.3, the Florida Building Code and state elevator permits — handled, filed and followed through to final inspection.
Bid & Procurement
We take your specification to licensed Florida installers, level every bid line by line and negotiate warranty terms in your favor.
Installation Oversight
Milestone site visits, hoistway checks and builder coordination so the elevator arrives on schedule — and exactly as specified.
Coastal Resilience
Salt air, storm surge and hurricane season are engineered for from day one: marine-grade metals, elevated controls, battery lowering.
- The AboveAll Method
Four stages. No surprises.
A clear path that keeps your architect, builder and installer moving in the same direction — and keeps you informed at every landing.
Week 1–2
Discover
On-site walkthrough, plan review, flood-zone and structural check. You receive a written feasibility report with options and honest budgets.
Week 3–6
Design
Drive, shaft, cab and finishes specified with your architect. Drawings and a performance specification ready for bidding.
Week 6–10
Deliver
Competitive bids, contract review, permits filed. Installation monitored at every milestone through to state acceptance testing.
For life
Endure
Owner training, documentation binder, hurricane protocol and an annual Care & Compliance check to keep every ride perfect.
An elevator is the only piece of a home you considered. . It should feel as considered as the architecture around it — and be built for the coast it lives on.

- Built for Florida
Designed for sunshine. Engineered for storms.
A residential elevator in Florida faces conditions most manufacturers’ brochures never mention. Our Coastal Resilience Standard answers each one.

Flood-zone planning
Pitless designs and controllers raised above Base Flood Elevation in FEMA AE and VE zones.
Outage-ready
Battery lowering and automatic door release so no one is ever stranded when the grid goes down.
Hurricane protocol
A written park-and-protect plan before every storm, and priority post-storm inspection afterwards.
