New Hampshire Elevator Contractor

Elevator Company - Whether you need work done on an existing elevator system or you need to have a new elevator system installed, an experienced elevator company is exactly what you need for the job. From elevator maintenance, repairs, erecting and installing elevator systems, an elevator contractor covers the complete array of elevator work in and out of the field. But no matter who you hire for the job, it’s up to you to do the research when finding a reputable elevator company to do your business.

Besides licensing and insurance requirements that elevator company has to comply to, experience and a keen knowledge for the job is a positive trait to look for when searching for a quality elevator company. Those elevator companies who have been in service for several years and have built up a good reputation will have plenty of contactable references for you to call or visit. Give the building manager or owner a quick call and find out for yourself if their work was done on time, professionally and without any hassles.

References that portray a long line of satisfied past customers, and proper licensing and insurance requirements are verified at the state or federal level, you can be sure your prospective elevator contractor is qualified and experienced enough to get the job done. But other factors like credentials and union memberships may appeal to your choice for hire. While joining a national union or claiming a membership in an elevator professional’s organization doesn’t necessarily denote quality work, it does show a level of commitment to the trade and an updated knowledge of industry practices and new technologies that might be a benefit to your job.

But it’s not just the elevator company owner who needs to be licensed to do work or installations on elevator systems. The workers who are subcontracted by the elevator contractor need to be licensed as well. Many state and local municipalities require any worker who services the elevator to have an elevator mechanics license or elevator contractor’s license to do any work. Always ask your prospective elevator contractor if they personally will be performing the work or will they be subcontracting the work out to someone else. Ask them to verify any additional workers licenses before you let them take on the job.
