Find out what your elevator service company isn't telling you.
In 90 seconds, get a real 100-point health score on your elevator program — built from your live TDLR inspection record, your service contract terms, and the same diagnostic an OEM-trained mechanic would run on day one. Most building owners we audit are losing $4,000–$18,000 a year they don't know about. Find out what you're losing — before your next renewal.

No back-and-forth.
You stay in control.
If your service company is "fine," you'll be the first one we've audited where it actually is.
A Houston portfolio walkthrough almost always surfaces something material. The numbers below come from real audits we've run on offices, multifamily, hotels, and medical buildings across southeast Texas.
An expired or about-to-expire annual inspection. Texas fines start at $500–$3,000 per elevator per day per violation once it lapses. Most owners only find out when the state mails a notice.
Standard preventative maintenance benchmark is ~$150/elevator/month; priority-response premium is ~$220. A 4-elevator building paying $300/unit is leaving $7,200/year on the table — and that's before surprise parts invoices from a contract that bundles repairs into the monthly fee.
National providers default to 5-year terms with 90–180 day cancellation windows. Miss the window and you renew automatically, with built-in 4–6% annual escalators. We'll flag this in your report and tell you exactly when to opt out.
A diagnostic the OEMs would charge you a service-call fee to run.
We rebuilt the audit a 20-year mechanic does on a first walkthrough — minus the call-out fee, the sales pressure, and the wait for a return visit. You get answers in your inbox tonight.

A personal note from Fares
The owner reads every report before it ships. If something looks off in your answers, he'll flag it. If everything's fine, he'll tell you that too — and walk away. No upsell sequence. No "free strategy call."
We had been with the same national provider for nine years. Took the health check on a Wednesday afternoon — Fares emailed back the same day with screenshots from the TDLR site showing two of our four units had expired re-certs. The provider had been billing us for inspection coordination the whole time.
Built by an elevator mechanic, not a marketer.
We built this tool because we sat in too many meetings watching property managers nod along to OEM sales pitches they had no way to evaluate. So we built the evaluation.
Texas-licensed mechanic, in-house
Every report is reviewed before it sends. Not by a sales rep. By Fares — the owner — who's spent 20+ years OEM-trained on Otis, KONE, Schindler, and TKE equipment.

Informational only. This health check is a remote diagnostic based on your answers and public TDLR data. It is not a substitute for a physical inspection by a licensed mechanic. TDLR data is published with a lag and may not reflect changes from the last 30–60 days. Score thresholds reflect Arise's published benchmarks and may differ from other Houston-area providers.
Questions before you start.
Is this actually free, or is there a catch?
How accurate is the score?
Will I get hammered with sales calls?
What if my address isn't in your TDLR database?
I manage a portfolio. Can I check multiple buildings?
How is my data handled?
Still have questions? Take the check anyway.
