Coastal & elevated homes
We start with the actual levels, entrances, stairs and landing areas—not a generic floor plan. The aim is a comfortable route between the ground-level arrival area and the living spaces above.
Serving all of Florida
Existing, coastal & elevated Florida homes.
Most Stiltz home lifts are thoughtfully installed in existing homes. For Florida homeowners, that can include a beach home, a raised residence or the house you already love and simply need to move through more comfortably.

Coastal home planning
When living space moves up, everyday access needs to move with it.
In many Florida coastal communities, the main living level sits above grade—whether the home was originally built that way, has been elevated as part of a renovation or is being rebuilt after flood damage. A home lift can make that change in level far easier to live with, especially when groceries, laundry, mobility needs or a changing household make multiple flights of stairs less practical.
That does not make a lift hurricane protection or an emergency evacuation device. It is an everyday access solution planned within a larger, code-compliant elevated-home project. During a storm, owners should always follow local emergency guidance and evacuation orders.
Plan around the flood zone
Flood-zone designation, design flood elevation, equipment location, structure and local permitting all affect the project. Your architect, engineer and local building officials determine the requirements for the individual property.
Keep the daily route usable
A well-planned lift can reduce the day-to-day burden of stairs while helping the home continue to work for owners, family and guests as needs change.
Florida-wide guidance
From existing inland homes to coastal renovations, Stiltz of Florida helps homeowners evaluate the lift, the route and the real project scope together.
For the home you already own
Existing homes are still the heart of the conversation.
Most homeowners are not starting with a blank set of plans. They are solving a practical problem in a finished home: a stair run that has become difficult, a parent moving in, a second floor that is no longer convenient or a desire to stay in a place that already holds the life they built.
We review potential locations in the context of the whole home—room size, structure, openings, electrical work, the approach to the lift and how each landing connects to the spaces around it. The goal is not simply to fit equipment in. It is to create a route that makes sense every day.
New construction & remodeling
Designed Into Your Home From the Start
Stiltz of Florida works directly with homeowners, builders, architects and designers on new construction and remodeling projects. Our experienced team reviews architectural plans, helps determine the best lift location and coordinates closely with everyone involved to ensure the home is properly designed for a smooth installation.
A Stiltz home lift is more than an accessibility solution—it is a modern architectural feature designed for everyday convenience and future-ready living. Its compact footprint requires less space and construction than a traditional residential elevator, allowing homeowners to preserve more room for the features they love.
From initial planning through final installation, Stiltz of Florida helps manage every detail so your lift fits beautifully and functions flawlessly within your home.
Important: A home lift is not an evacuation device and should not be used during a flood, hurricane or other emergency. Flood-zone suitability, equipment placement and all code requirements must be confirmed for the individual home.
