Home Accessibility in Lakeville, MN

Lakeville borders our Farmington home base, so it is one of the communities we reach fastest. Just over 8,000 residents are 65 or older, in neighbourhoods running from the older streets near Lake Marion to the newer developments along Kenrick Avenue.

Lakeville is minutes from our Farmington shop

Lakeville sits directly next to Farmington, where we are based, which makes it one of the quickest communities for us to reach for both assessments and service calls. That matters more than it sounds: a lift is a piece of equipment, and being close by is the difference between a same-week service visit and a wait.

The city is the youngest of the nineteen in this group, with a median age of 36.8 and just 10.9% of residents aged 65 or over. But it is growing quickly and more than 3,000 people are already past 75. Most of the housing is newer two-storey construction, often with an unfinished or partly finished lower level, which leaves room to plan ahead.

What we install in Lakeville

  • Stair lifts: straight rails for Lakeville’s two-storey homes, usually a single-visit install.
  • Wheelchair lifts: vertical platform lifts for garage steps and raised entries.
  • Home elevators: residential elevators, easiest to plan while a lower level is still unfinished.
  • Wheelchair ramps: custom wood and aluminium modular ramps for front and garage entries.
  • Accessible bathrooms: roll-in showers, walk-in tubs and main-floor bathroom conversions.
  • Safety and access: grab bars, handrails, porch railings and automatic door openers.

Permitted, inspected, and done properly

Powered lifts and elevators are regulated equipment in Minnesota, not appliances you bolt down. Ocel Builders installs as a Minnesota Limited Elevator Contractor and holds a Minnesota Builders License, so the framing, the electrical coordination, the equipment and the inspection are handled by one accountable team in Dakota County.

Frequently asked

Questions about home accessibility in lakeville, mn

How quickly can you get to Lakeville?

Quickly. We are based next door in Farmington, so Lakeville is one of our closest service areas for both assessments and service calls.

Our lower level is unfinished. Should we plan for accessibility now?

It is the cheapest time to do it. Framing an elevator shaft or roughing in a future bathroom during a finish project costs a fraction of retrofitting it later. We are happy to advise even if the work is years away.

Do you offer financing in Lakeville?

Yes. Financing is available, and you get an itemised written quote before any work starts.
