Elevating Aesthetics and Performance

Modernizing your elevator system improves speed, energy efficiency, reliability, and property value. With one of the largest modernization departments in the region, we upgrade nearly 100 residential and commercial elevators each year.
We utilize the industry-leading non-proprietary equipment from trusted manufacturers, giving you long-term flexibility, more options, and complete control over your system.
Our experienced team manages everything from straightforward single-elevator upgrades to highly customized, multi-phase modernization projects. We’ve completed complex renovations in historic landmarks including the White House, the Old Executive Office Building, the Library of Congress, the U.S. Treasury, and the Department of the Interior—many requiring meticulous replication or preservation of original elevator systems.
“I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you what a pleasure it was to work with your organization on our elevator modernization. The team assembled for the project was truly top notch. The workmanship, as expected, was solid, but what really made an impression on us was the professionalism and genuine care for what we were trying to accomplish. All of us want to thank the Warfield & Sanford team for being such excellent partners.”
