MODERNIZATION
Elevator systems are built to last, but equipment, controls, technology, and building requirements continue to evolve. Noble Elevator provides modernization services designed to extend the life of existing systems while improving performance, reliability, safety, efficiency, and appearance.
Every modernization begins with an evaluation of the existing equipment and the needs of the building. Rather than approaching every project the same way, our team develops a scope that addresses aging or obsolete components while identifying equipment that can continue to perform reliably.
FULL MODERNIZATION
A comprehensive elevator modernization can include upgrades to controllers, machines, drives, fixtures, door equipment, wiring, and other major system components, as well as improvements necessary to meet current code and accessibility requirements.
Our team works with building owners, property managers, consultants, and other trades to develop a modernization plan appropriate for the building, equipment, budget, and long-term needs of the property.
COSMETIC MODERNIZATION & CAB RENOVATION
Not every elevator needs a complete mechanical modernization. Noble also provides cosmetic elevator upgrades and cab renovations for buildings looking to refresh the appearance of their elevators while retaining existing equipment that continues to perform reliably.
Cosmetic work can include new cab interiors, wall panels, flooring, ceilings, lighting, handrails, doors, entrances, and fixtures, allowing owners to update an outdated elevator or coordinate its appearance with a larger building renovation.
Whether your property requires a complete elevator modernization, targeted equipment upgrades, or simply a cosmetic refresh, Noble can develop a scope tailored to your building and budget.
Noble coordinates modernization work to minimize disruption and keep projects moving efficiently, with the goal of improving the elevator while making intelligent use of the building's existing infrastructure.

The scope depends on the existing system and the needs of the building.
A comprehensive modernization can include upgrades to controllers, machines, drives, door equipment, fixtures, wiring, operating systems, and other major elevator components, as well as improvements associated with current code and accessibility requirements.
Noble develops modernization scopes based on the condition of the existing equipment rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Not necessarily.
Depending on the condition of the equipment, some components may be suitable for continued use while others require replacement or upgrading. Noble can evaluate the existing system and develop a modernization scope appropriate for the building, equipment, budget, and long-term objectives.
Yes. Noble provides cosmetic elevator upgrades and cab renovations in addition to full mechanical and electrical modernizations.
Cab renovations can include new wall panels, flooring, ceilings, lighting, handrails, doors, entrances, fixtures, and other finishes.
This can be an effective option for a building with functioning elevator equipment but an outdated cab or interior.
