Access Elevator

What Access Elevator does

Access Elevator, Inc. is a Wisconsin-based, privately held accessibility equipment distributor and installer founded in 1994 by Jon Tevz and led by CEO Frank Wasilewski. The company sells, installs, and services a comprehensive range of mobility and accessibility products — stair lifts (straight, curved, outdoor, commercial), wheelchair ramps, ceiling lifts, inclined and vertical platform lifts, residential elevators, accessible bathroom modifications, home modifications (automatic door openers, grab bars, handrails), and mobility aids (scooters, power chairs, lift chairs) — drawing on its own installation labor and an authorized dealer relationship with 14+ manufacturers including Stannah, Bruno, Savaria, Golden Technologies, Pride Mobility, Residential Elevators, Bestbath, Ascension, National Ramp, and Human Care.

The business operates five showroom locations across Wisconsin and Illinois (Cudahy headquarters plus Neenah, La Crosse, Roselle, and Decatur) and serves customers throughout Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Minnesota via a direct field-sales model that delivers free on-site consultations including after-hours and weekend appointments. Revenue streams include one-time equipment sales and installation (the largest stream), short-term rentals of stair lifts and ramps, recurring service and protection plans, and financing referrals through partners such as DCU, CareCredit, Hearth, and Longbridge Financial.

Access Elevator's customer base spans residential homeowners aging in place or managing disabilities, commercial businesses and healthcare facilities requiring ADA compliance, and veterans qualifying for VA Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) and HISA grants — a specialty served by a dedicated VA Grant Specialist. Over 32 years the company claims 30,000+ completed projects and 32,000+ customers served, with licensing as both an ADA General Contractor and Elevator Contractor enabling self-permitting across jurisdictions. The operating model is field-sales-led, relationship-driven, and fundamentally service-intensive, with no disclosed AI capabilities, no patents, and no institutional funding rounds.
