Price

What drives the cost of elevator modernization in Lathrup Village

  • Scope: controller only versus full modernization
  • Hydraulic cylinder or power unit replacement
  • Proprietary versus non-proprietary controller
  • Code upgrades triggered by the alteration
  • Cab interior, doors and fixture choices
  • How long the building can run without the elevator
  • Related electrical, fire alarm or machine room work
  • The age of the home: the typical Lathrup Village home was built around 1955, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Lathrup Village

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Lathrup Village was built around 1955. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

67% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Lathrup Village building department before work starts.
