At Dwan Elevator Company, we specialize in residential elevator installation throughout Southern California, delivering custom solutions that integrate seamlessly into your home while enhancing mobility, safety, and property value.
With a legacy that traces back to the earliest days of residential elevators in California, Dwan Elevator Company brings decades of proven experience, modern technology, and personalized service to every home elevator project.
The roots of Dwan Elevator Company date back to 1931, when J.E. Dwan founded Dwan Elevator, making it one of California’s original residential elevator and stairlift companies. Over time, the company evolved into what became known as The Inclinator Company of California (ICOC) , name long associated with craftsmanship, innovation, and reliability throughout Southern California.
Across decades of service, ICOC installed more than 8,000 residential elevators in the region, serving homeowners, architects, and builders across a wide range of residential properties. During its peak years, the company operated multiple installation crews and became a dominant force in the Southern California residential elevator market.
Today, that history and expertise continue through Dwan Elevator Company, combining a storied legacy with modern systems, current building standards, and a renewed focus on customized residential solutions.
