Home Elevator Company in Costa Mesa, CA
Our Orange County Office Is Here
Your neighbors in Costa Mesa, with the technicians already in town
Our Orange County office is at 2942 Century Place, Suite 742, Costa Mesa, CA 92626. That makes Costa Mesa the one city where the truck leaves our lot and arrives at your door without a freeway in between. If your elevator stops or you want to talk about adding one, the people you reach at (714) 905-5092 work a few minutes from your house.
Costa Mesa is a different market from the coastal cities around it. It is a city of about 112,000 people, with a median age of 35.9, and only 38.9% of its 44,047 housing units are owner-occupied, according to Wikipedia. Most households rent. That shapes who calls us: owners of single-family homes who plan to stay, landlords and families managing a property for a relative, and owners who bought here decades ago and are now aging in place. Of residents, 12.6% are 65 or older.

Homes in Costa Mesa and what works
Costa Mesa’s neighborhoods have distinct personalities, and so do their houses.
Eastside and Westside. Mid-century single-story tract homes on the Eastside and Westside are the city’s backbone. Many owners have lived in them for decades. Most of these houses are single-story, so the stair problem is not inside the house. It is a step up at the front door, or a split entry, or a second story added in a remodel. A vertical platform lift or a short stairlift often solves it for far less than an elevator.
Newer small-lot infill. Two- and three-story homes built on lots that once held one cottage. Narrow footprints make closet-stacked elevators a natural fit. A Savaria Eclipse, which has no machine room, can tuck into a stacked closet. The Savaria Infinity needs a small machine space but suits a house with a garage-level utility area.
ADU and addition projects. Owners are adding second units and second floors across the city. If you are planning an addition with a second story for a parent, tell us before the framing starts. Adding the shaft during design is easier than cutting it in later.
Mesa Verde, College Park and Santa Ana Heights. A mix of tract, custom and equestrian-flavored properties. A larger home with multiple levels might call for a Savaria Zenith, and a house with a view might look at the Vuelift.
Renters, landlords and shared properties
Because so many Costa Mesa households rent, a number of our calls come from people who do not live in the house. A landlord with a tenant who uses a wheelchair. A family that owns a home where a parent lives. An owner who bought a property with an elevator already in it and wants to know whether it is safe.
If you are in one of those situations, here is how we work. We inspect the elevator and tell you in plain language what condition it is in. We provide a written quote before any repair. We can set up maintenance plans for the property and send service records to whoever manages it.
If the unit is a stairlift or platform lift, tell us the make if you know it. Our brand identification guide shows where nameplates hide.
Permits and approvals in Costa Mesa
A home elevator needs a building permit through your city’s building department. We coordinate the permit and inspections so you are not running between offices. We cannot promise a permit outcome, but we can supply the shaft dimensions, pit depth, overhead and electrical requirements for each model so your plans are complete the first time.
Costa Mesa has some HOA communities, mostly in newer developments. If you are in one, check your documents before work begins. Interior elevators rarely draw attention. Exterior changes can.
The city sits about a mile from the ocean at its southern edge, and elevation is around 98 feet. Coastal flooding is not a typical concern for most of the city, though a pit should still be designed with drainage in mind. We discuss that at the estimate.
Why a local office matters for service
An elevator is a machine that needs regular visits, and a company that is thirty miles away is a company you will wait for. Our Orange County technicians run from this office. For Costa Mesa, that means a call about a stalled car at night gets a technician moving fast.
The office is also where we keep common parts for the brands we service, including door interlocks, gate switches and relays. If your elevator needs a part we do not stock, we tell you the lead time and take the unit out of service safely in the meantime.
Visit us if you would like to see samples of cab finishes or talk through a plan face to face. Call ahead at (714) 905-5092. See also our maintenance plan for details.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is your Costa Mesa address a showroom?
It is our Orange County office. Call (714) 905-5092 before you visit so someone is there to meet you.
I own a home in Costa Mesa with one story. Do I need an elevator?
Probably not. If the issue is a step or a split entry, a platform lift or short stairlift usually costs far less. We quote after a free measure.
Can I add an elevator when I add a second story?
Yes, and it is the easiest time to do it. Tell your architect before framing so the shaft is in the drawings.
Do you service elevators in rental properties?
Yes. We inspect, quote and repair, and we can keep a maintenance plan on the property.
How fast can you reach a Costa Mesa home in an emergency?
Faster than anywhere else we serve, since our technicians dispatch from the office here. Emergency calls go out immediately.
