Residential Elevator Services

Custom home elevators built to match any décor and fit any existing hoistway, whatever its size. If you can picture it, we can design it and build it — plus weather-rated outdoor elevators for decks and docks, all across the Carolina coast.

Built Around Your Home

If you can picture it, we can build it.

We don’t sell a catalog and hope it fits. Every Nereus elevator is designed around your home, your style, and the space you already have.

Matches any décor

Glass, hardwood, painted panels, stainless, brass, or a mix — cab finishes, lighting, rails, and gates chosen to match your home down to the trim.

Fits any existing hoistway

Odd size, tight shaft, or an old unit coming out — we adapt the elevator to the hoistway you already have instead of tearing your house apart to fit a standard box.

Designed from scratch

Bring us a sketch, a photo, or just an idea. Our in-house engineers design it with you, from the cab to the controls, until it’s exactly what you want.

Nereus Residential

Three series. One standard of craftsmanship.

Every home elevator we install falls into one of three series — a dependable standard-cab elevator, a fully custom elevator built to meet any interior design need, or a weather-rated elevator built for outdoor installation.

Standard Series

The standard home elevator.

Engineered wood cab, straightforward install, sized to fit standard residential shaftways — our dependable entry point into elevated living.

  • Engineered wood panel cab, hardwood finish upgrades available
  • Hydraulic, machine room-less hydraulic, or chain drive
  • 2–6 stops, up to 50 ft of travel
  • Three-year warranty on all parts Nereus installs and services
Custom Series

The custom elevator.

Fully custom cab design — glass, wood, metal, or any combination — built to match any décor rather than pulled from a catalog.

Through our in-house engineers, we can customize and replace virtually anything on your existing unit — talent is our middle name, and custom is the game.

  • Glass, wood, metal, or mixed-material cab — fully customizable
  • Built to fit any existing hoistway, whatever its size
  • Winding drum, hydraulic, or chain drive, variable-speed soft start/stop
  • 2–6 stops, up to 50 ft of travel
  • Three-year warranty on all parts Nereus installs and services
Outdoor Series

The outdoor elevator.

Attaches right to the outside of your deck or house, the same way our cargo lifts do — but built to carry people, with the added safety features a passenger elevator requires. Weather-sealed and made for salt air, rain, and coastal heat.

  • Mounts to your deck or exterior wall — no interior shaft needed
  • Passenger-rated, with added safety features beyond a cargo lift
  • Weather-resistant cab with corrosion-resistant hardware
  • Cable-driven (traction) or chain drive engineered for exterior installation
  • 2–3 stops, up to 50 ft of travel
  • Three-year warranty on all parts Nereus installs and services

Questions

Residential FAQ

How much space does a home elevator need?

It varies by model — some vacuum elevators need very little structural modification, while traditional hydraulic elevators need a dedicated shaft. We'll assess your home during the consultation.

Can a home elevator be added to an existing house, not just new construction?

Yes — retrofits are one of our most common residential projects.

How long does installation take?

Most residential installations take a few weeks from start to finish, depending on the equipment and any construction involved.

Do you offer financing?

Ask us about financing-friendly options during your consultation.

How often does a home elevator need maintenance?

We recommend an annual safety examination at minimum; some equipment benefits from more frequent service, and we'll tailor a plan to your unit.
