With over 24 years of service to our community ABE has grown to become a local force in the vertical transportation industry.  Our company was founded in 1996 on the principles that each client matters, has a valid point of view and should be treated with respect.  This overriding philosophy has lead to incredible growth over the last 10 years making us the largest locally owned and independently operated elevator service company in our market area.  This includes, Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Hampton, Newport News and Williamsburg Virginia, Elizabeth City, Edenton, Pasquotank, Perquimans Counties, and the Outer Banks of North Carolina as far south as Rodanthe.


Our goal is to provide the highest quality client service, the best overall value for your money and the most reliable products in our industry.  We strive each day to be a little better, more responsive and more client focused. Our current client list includes Federal, State and Local Governments, military installations, shipyards, hospitality groups, office buildings, condo complexes, property management firms and private homes.  We are equipped to handle any service situation whether industrial, commercial or residential as well as any handicapped application.


With 1087 elevators and escalators under maintenance and a growing list of modernization and construction projects ABE has become a "go to" provider in our service area.  Call today and discover the difference locally focused service can make for you.
