The report also details the scope of work and the estimated budget required.

Every building is designed in its own unique way. Thus each elevator, escalator, handicap lift, freight, residential or dumbwaiter lift requires a written maintenance specification that is based from the manufacturer's recommendations and the building's needs. Lone Star Elevator Group can write your preventative maintenance specifications, renegotiate or place your existing contract out for bid. 

Maintenance Evaluations are conducted at the owner's or property manager's request. This is an in depth evaluation of the contractor's preventative maintenance program based on manufacturer's recommendations and the terms of the maintenance contract. The evaluation notates deficiencies or violations that is shared with both the building and the elevator contractor and should be corrected in a timely manner. This will prevent pre-mature failing of critical components all while prolonging the life span of the equipment. 

Lone Star Elevator Group's inspectors are trained and certified by a nationally accredited program. Inspections will range from acceptance tests to decommissioning of units, pre-inspection tests, temporary construction usage, lock-out / tag-out, annual and five year full load testing. Lone Star Elevator Group retains records of each unit inspected, provides the owner and contractor with a copy as well as submits a copy to the respective jurisdiction. Jurisdictions will vary by state and licensing requirements. Call today for more information!

When real estate investors are considering a purchase of an existing property, it's pertinent to have a visual inspection of the vertical transportation equipment to identify future capital expenditures. The report details the condition of the preventative maintenance program, code compliance issues and component longevity. 

Do you receive invoices that are inappropriate? Have excessively high parts and labor fees? Unsure what's covered in your contract? Or do you not fully understand elevator terminology and rely on your elevator contractor to interpret because that is their specialty? Or you may not have the time to properly dispute the invoice.  Not only does Lone Star Elevator Group educate their clientele, but we have the knowledge and background to review your contract and discuss with the contractor when invoices or proposals are inappropriate.

Broken water or fire suppression lines? Flooding or hurricane damage? Water Intrusion claims need a quick and well documented response once safe access is available. Lone Star Elevator Group works with Insurance Adjusters or building owners and management to ensure every component is documented and addressed for potential future related issues.
