The reason our founders began First Coast Elevator is the abuses that they saw in the industry. Some of these were extremely high hourly rates, reduction in maintenance visits without a reduction in monthly pricing, poor response times, annual increases of 6% or more, long term contracts that automatically renewed without the customers knowledge, and many others. Oftentimes companies overload their elevator maintenance technicians with too many elevators on their route. This results in poor service and slow response times. We limit our maintenance mechanics to a manageable number of units and by growing responsibly without sacrificing the quality of service that we provide. Choose elevator service St Augustine FL from First Coast Elevator when you need responsive local maintenance and repair for your elevator equipment. Over the years we have found that these abuses have not changed and many times have gotten worse.

We meet regularly with condominium boards, building owners and property managers to help them understand the terminology of our industry so that they know what they are purchasing and what they really need. Our goal is to educate them to prevent the purchase or replacement of items that they do not need. When modernizing elevators, many times the elevator components will need to be brought up to today’s code requirements. This depends largely on the scope of work and how it is performed. Lack of planning in this area can cost the elevator owners significantly, if the items replaced are not done in a specific manner and are dependent on the specific project. We have helped many customers avoid costly ongoing monthly costs by knowing the code requirements.
