We purchased a rental property in the Salvo area in 2009. The property came equipped with an elevator. Because of frequent problems with the unit during the first rental season, we wanted to arrange a service contract with the installer’s representative in the area. Through many failed attempts to arrange contact, we elected to have Outer Banks Elevator come in and do an evaluation of the unit and give us some advice on what needed to be done to improve the reliability of the unit. Wayne came to the house and spent a considerable amount of time evaluating the current system and then sat down with us to give us his opinion and recommendations. He was extremely thorough in this evaluation and explanations and as a result of the confidence he inspired, we elected to do a major overhaul of the system and a changeover of the controls so that he could maintain it properly. His team came in and performed the work along with some additional enhancements which provided an added level of security. Not only did they complete the work very quickly and efficiently but I was extremely impressed with how neat and clean the work area was when they finished. We have now been through two rental seasons and to this date the elevator has performed flawlessly. We initiated the annual inspection which was recommended and as a result, we have experienced no major repairs during this time.
Following Hurricane Irene in 2011, we did have some significant damage which needed repair. Very soon after the storm, they were able to assess the damage and provided us with an estimate of the needed work. Not only did they provide quick service to get the unit running again, but also provided the insurance adjuster with the necessary information to enable us to receive our reimbursement in a timely fashion.
I have found the entire team at Outer Banks Elevator to be extremely helpful and courteous whenever I have dealt with them. Laurel is always very responsive whenever I have a question or need. I believe the professional approach they provide is role model behavior that other businesses in the area would do well to follow. Hats off to the entire team at Outer Banks Elevator.”
