Unfortunately, we struggled for years with Thyssenkrupp (TK Elevator). It often took weeks for them to respond to service calls, leaving our elderly residents stressed, frustrated, and in some cases unable to get where they needed to go. We received constant complaints from families and staff, and it created a real sense of urgency and helplessness in our building. Thankfully, we found Northern Elevator Company -- and the difference has been night and day. They came in and fully modernized our elevator with a brand-new control system, and since then, everything has been running smoothly. No more calls about a stuck elevator. No more worried residents or families. Just peace of mind knowing we can rely on our elevator when we need it most. Northern Elevator has been responsive, professional, and a true partner in keeping our community safe and mobile. We're so grateful to have made the switch and highly recommend them to any facility where elevator reliability isn't optional -- it's essential. --Ivy Park at Cathedral Hill

And even then, they weren't confident that the issue would be solved. I found Northern Elevator after searching online and reaching out. They came out, quickly diagnosed the real issue, and discovered it was simply a $20 relay. They fixed the elevator the same day and got everything back up and running. I worked with Kevin and Robert. Their honesty, professionalism, and expertise saved us thousands of dollars and a huge headache. We couldn't be happier with the service and highly recommend Northern Elevator.

From the very beginning, Austin has stood out as one of the most communicative, responsive, and reliable professionals I've worked with. He handles the maintenance of our two elevators here at Menlo Towers with a level of professionalism and attention to detail that gives us full confidence our equipment is always in excellent hands. Whenever a question or concern comes up, Austin is quick to respond, clear in his explanations, and proactive about finding solutions. That type of consistent, dependable service is invaluable to us as a community. Over the course of my management career, I've worked with several elevator service providers, and I can honestly say STAR Elevator, with Austin as our lead technician, has been the best by far. The expertise, reliability, and genuine customer care we've experienced are unmatched. Please extend our thanks to Austin and to the entire STAR Elevator team for delivering such exceptional service. We truly appreciate the partnership and look forward to working together for years to come.

Even before this incident, the elevator was breaking down at least once every few months. This is unsafe and their failure to treat this as the emergency it is has endangered me.
