Residential homes can be difficult for those with mobility issues. One of the easiest and cost-effective solutions for those homes with extensive stairways is a stairlift. These affordable and simple-to-install devices provide a chair that an individual can use to move up a stairway while seated comfortably.
If circumstances arise that climbing stairs become difficult or even impossible to manage, a home elevator may be your solution. Residential elevators can be installed into new or existing construction. Regardless if you are building a new home, or would like to add the uncompromising inconvenience of an elevator James R Pitcairn elevators division has your solution.
PVE or pneumatic vacuum elevators are our most luxurious home elevator offering. Currently we have three versions of these futuristic air driven residential elevators, ranging from single to a three-passenger, wheelchair-accessible. These home lift systems manufactured by PVE are capable of a 50 foot (15m) maximum vertical rise over as many as five stops.
Our roped 1:2 hydraulic design provides the quietest and smoothest operation in the industry. This system utilizes components and devices that are tested and certified to the most stringent requirements and have been tried and proven on commercial midrise elevator applications subject to more frequent use.

My parents stairlift stopped working at the worst time! My step mom just came back home from being in the hospital for a few days so I contacted James R. Pitcairn to see about repairs. They responded immediately and serviced the stairlift which my parents totally depend on, especially right now. The service tech was also extremely courteous and professional. I strongly recommend, thank you.

We had James R. Pitcairn install an elevator for us eight years ago. Our trusting relationship has continued with their office and crews for many years. The men are always on time and polite. I would recommend to anyone requiring an elevator installation or service to first give J. R. Pitcairn a call. Randolph K. Milliron A. Folino Construction

We are so blessed to have our new 3-stop elevator from James R Pitcairn (JRP;) we can now remain in our 3-level home for many years to come. All the JRP staff (sales, support and installation) were polite, knowledgeable, friendly and very respectful. On scheduled days of installation the men were always prompt, and they took care to clean up their work areas at the end of the day.
It is such a pleasure to hop in the elevator cab and take a smooth ride up and down. We will be sharing our good experience with family and friends; and if you appreciate fair pricing, knowledgeable personnel and a project with no surprises, we recommend James R Pitcairn.

This company sells and installs home elevators. Home elevators are rated for less than 1000 pounds. For the last five (5) years they have provided both sales and service go me via their primary home elevator (the company has other divisions) I have found this company to be professional and they provide excellent service. I've had the same service technicians and they do very good work. Plus, they corrected a glitch with the manufacturer early on in the installation without any hesitation. I could find no evidence of any I've seen alleged in other reviews

I as well as others are currently in litigation with this individual. He never started my home elevator project and took the $15,500 deposit. I know the exact same thing happened with one other individual. The elevator company from ohio which stepped in to do the work he never started, tells me that the same has happened with dozens of other individuals in the pittsburgh area. I filed a complaint with the Attorney General's office and the BBB as well. This has been a nightmare for me and my family
