As Sydney homeowners look for smarter, future-ready design solutions, home lift installations are becoming an increasingly popular feature — and they’re not limited to new builds.
At Steller Group Building & Carpentry, we specialise in retrofitting residential lifts into existing homes, combining functionality, design, and craftsmanship to create spaces that are as practical as they are luxurious.
Why Install a Residential Lift in Your Home
Whether you’re upgrading your lifestyle or planning for the years ahead, a residential lift retrofit offers multiple long-term advantages:
- Aging in place – Maintain independence and mobility in your home as you age.
- Everyday convenience – Move heavy items like groceries or laundry between floors effortlessly.
- Enhanced accessibility – Create an inclusive home for all family members and guests.
- Increased property value – A professional home lift installation adds both appeal and functionality.
- Architectural design integration – Today’s lift systems can be seamlessly integrated into modern or heritage homes alike.
Can a Lift Be Retrofitted Into an Existing Sydney Home?
Yes — with the right planning and expertise. Retrofitting a lift is about smart design and precise construction, not compromise.
Our experienced team at Steller Group works alongside structural engineers and lift suppliers to determine feasibility and the best approach for your space. We assess:
- Available space and structure – Ideal placement for minimal disruption, such as beside a stairwell or within an unused void.
- Lift type – From hydraulic and traction lifts to compact shaftless models, we’ll recommend the right solution for your layout and budget.
- Access and service requirements – Ensuring power supply, wiring, and maintenance access are integrated seamlessly.
- Design finishes – Tailoring the aesthetic with custom joinery, glazing, or materials to match your existing home.
Our Process for Retrofitting Home Lifts
We take a comprehensive, start-to-finish approach to ensure every lift installation is executed to the highest standard:
- Consultation & Feasibility Assessment – Evaluating your home’s layout, structure, and accessibility goals.
- Design Coordination – Collaborating with architects, engineers, and lift manufacturers for a cohesive plan.
- Construction & Structural Modifications – Managing all building and carpentry works required for lift integration.
- Installation Oversight – Ensuring compliance with Australian Standards and safety codes.
- Finishing Touches – Delivering a flawless final result that feels built-in, not added on.
