Bobby Boeneke was a man who could spot a need. In the mid 90’s, his client and future business partner shared a story about waterfront condos not selling until he installed home elevators. Bobby had a strong background in banking, finance, and business. He also understood the real estate market, the needs of the baby boomer generation as they moved towards retirement and the increase in urban, multi-story housing. In 1996, he and his partner invested their savings into buying a small home elevator company in north Florida. Residential Elevators was born.

The company’s vision was to hire the best elevator talent and craftsmen to make home elevators that would become the standard in the industry. They invested in research and technology to utilize the same systems used in commercial high-rise elevators, to create quality elevator experiences for homeowners.

Today that vision is a reality. With two manufacturing plants, sales representatives accessible across the nation, and a team of employees who believe in quality and customer service, Residential Elevators is the nation’s leader in home elevators. We are the top choice of leaders in the construction and development community, as well as for individual homeowners.

The company remains family-owned and committed to providing customers with safe, innovative and quality elevators. Bobby’s adage to “Do the right thing” continues as our guiding force.
