Lakeshore Vertical

Lakeshore Vertical provides independent elevator consulting services for building owners in Buffalo, Niagara Falls and Rochester. Unlike contractors, they sell no maintenance, repairs or equipment, allowing them to advocate solely for the owner. Services include rewriting maintenance contracts to favor owners, bidding agreements among licensed contractors, conducting quarterly audits of contractor work, reviewing repair quotes, and issuing credits for missed visits. They also assist with long-term capital planning, including condition surveys and 5- and 10-year modernization plans, managing projects from specification through tender to completion. The company positions itself as a check on contractor practices rather than a seller of elevator services.
