that answers the phone.

01 · Monthly maintenance

Maintenance that shows up.

$150+/mo · $220+/mo

Standard and Premium plans. Preventative inspection, fire-service checks, machine-room housekeeping, and priority emergency dispatch — pricing scales with elevator count.

02 · Repair & emergency

24/7 callbacks by a technician.

Average arrival under 60 minutes inside the Beltway. Premium contracts get a 15-minute callback SLA — a human who can dispatch, not an answering service that takes a message.

03 · Modernization

Extend asset life 20+ years.

New controllers, door operators, cabs, fixtures. Meet current code without the capital spend of a full replacement — staged to keep the elevator in service through the upgrade.

04 · New installation

Turn-key installs,
from shaft to final inspection.

Hydraulic, traction, MRL — we spec what fits the building, not what's easiest to order. One contractor from shaft-draft review through state inspection sign-off.

What you just saw

Every part. Every brand.
One phone number.

You just watched us take an elevator apart. That's how we diagnose, service, and modernize every unit we touch — Otis, Schindler, Kone, ThyssenKrupp, and every brand in between. Houston-owned, owner-operated, licensed and insured.

"Houston building owners kept telling us the same story — the elevator doesn't need a rocket scientist, it needs a pro who'll pick up the phone. So that's what we do."

What property managers ask us

Straight answers, not sales theater.

We're already under contract — can we still talk?

Yes. Most of our new customers came to us mid-contract. Send us your current proposal and we'll tell you in writing whether you're overpaying, what's missing, and when you can switch without penalty.

Do you work on our brand?

Otis, Schindler, Kone, ThyssenKrupp, Fujitec, Mitsubishi, Dover, Westinghouse, plus most legacy controllers. OEM-trained on the majors, certified to work on the rest.

What does a maintenance contract actually cost?

Standard starts from $150 per elevator per month; Premium starts from $220. Pricing scales with equipment age, elevator count, and scope. You'll get a line-item proposal, not a number over the phone.

How fast do you show up in an emergency?

Average arrival inside the Beltway is under 60 minutes, day or night. Premium contracts get a 15-minute callback SLA — a technician, not an answering service.

Are you licensed and insured to Houston code?

Yes. Texas-licensed elevator contractor, $2M general liability, $1M auto, workers' comp on every tech. We'll attach COIs with any proposal on request.

What if Fares is on vacation?

Fair question. We're a two-technician shop with a documented on-call rotation. Calls are answered 24/7 by whoever is on, and the person who picks up has the authority to dispatch, adjust schedules, and authorize parts — no "I'll have to check with…" loop.
