Five Signs It’s Time to
Upgrade Your Elevator Cab

An outdated elevator cab affects more than appearances — it impacts tenant experience, property value, and perceptions of safety.

When was the last time you really looked at your building’s elevators — not just its mechanics, but the cab interiors?

For tenants, visitors, and prospective clients, the elevator is often the first impression of your property.

If it’s worn, outdated, or poorly lit, it sends the wrong message.

Here are five signs it’s time for a cab upgrade:

  1. Visible wear and tear – Scratches, dents, peeling laminate, and scuffed floors signal neglect.
  2. Outdated style – Décor stuck in another decade undermines a modern building image.
  3. Poor lighting – Dim or harsh lighting can feel unsafe and uninviting.
  4. Mismatched standards – A renovated lobby paired with an outdated cab creates a jarring experience.
  5. Tenant feedback – Complaints or comments from tenants are a clear indicator it’s time.

Upgrading an elevator cab isn’t just cosmetic — it shows you care about safety, comfort, and the long-term value of your property.
