50 Year AnniversaryAbout Mid-American Elevator

Founded in 1974, family-owned and operated Mid-American Elevator Company, Inc. has become Chicago’s largest independent elevator company and an industry leader. Celebrating a history of quality for over 50 years. We are large enough to tackle almost any construction, renovation or maintenance project, but small enough to provide the personal attention that you deserve.

We now boast six locations, from which our expert, experienced professionals meet our clients’ needs — with safety, reliability and support always top-of-mind. Because we are not tied to any one manufacturer, we service and maintain non-proprietary elevator systems across all major brands. We look forward to working with you on your next elevator project. Isn't it time to raise your expectations and partner with Mid-American Elevator?

More About Us

Frequesntly Asked Questions

What is an independent elevator company?
An independent elevator company like Mid-American is not affiliated with any single manufacturer. This means we can service, repair, and maintain elevators from all major brands, including Otis, Kone, and Schindler, without locking clients into proprietary contracts or parts pricing.
What are the benefits of non-proprietary elevator systems?
Non-proprietary systems give building owners the freedom to choose their service provider. You're not restricted to one manufacturer's service team or pricing, which typically results in lower maintenance costs and faster response times.
What types of complex custom elevator installations do you specialize in?
We design and install explosion-proof elevators, outdoor and inclined elevators, transit elevators, automobile lifts, and parking machines, among many other specialty applications.Learn more about our custom elevator installation solutions.
Do you provide elevator services nationwide?
Our primary markets are Chicago and Seattle, with additional locations in New York, Washington D.C., Miami, and California. Contact us online or call 773-486-6900 to discuss service availability in your area.
How is Mid-American different from OEM elevator manufacturers?
OEM manufacturers (like Otis, Kone, or Schindler) primarily service their own equipment. As an independent commercial and industrial elevator contractor, Mid-American services all major brands, offers competitive pricing, and provides the personal attention that large corporations often can't match.
What industries do you serve?
We serve commercial property managers, industrial facilities, low, mid and high-rise buildings, healthcare facilities, transit authorities, and government agencies across multiple U.S. markets. If you don’t see your industry listed, contact us, and we’ll let you know how we may be able to be of service.
