Nationwide Lifts of North Carolina serves Wilmington and the Cape Fear coast, including Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Leland, Hampstead and Southport.
Along this coast, houses are raised. Flood rules and common sense put the living space a full story above the ground, with parking underneath, and many beach homes add two more floors on top. That means a long climb before you even reach the front door, and it is the reason home elevators are so widely used here.
An elevator from the ground level to each floor makes a raised home practical for owners of any age, for guests and for carrying a week of groceries. For a simpler need, an outdoor stair lift or a vertical platform lift gets you from the driveway to the main level.
Inland, in Wilmington’s older neighborhoods and newer communities, two-story homes are well served by a stair lift.
