Report
In the fall of 2020, Apex Elevator led my Strata Corporation through a full modernization of our 45 year old elevator. From our introductory phone call to the close-out meeting, their service, advice and organization was nothing short of superb. They explained every nuance of decisions I had to make and ensured I had the information necessary to make those decisions. Throughout the job, I felt like Apex was our partner in the modernization, not a third-party; it was clear that they wanted the modernization to be successful as much as our strata council did. I highly recommend Apex to other strata

Report
We have recently completed the modernization of two elevators in a heritage property we manage in New Westminster B.C., with the assistance of Apex Elevator Consulting Inc. They put together the work specification, over saw the tendering process, and the work. Not only was our elevator modernization project handled professionally, it was completed on time, at a lower cost, and was completed with minimal disruption to the daily operation of the property. I would recommend their services without hesitation.
