About Elevator Technology, Inc.

Elevator Technology, Inc. (ETI) was founded in the Sacramento area in 1991 by Peggy (President) and Leonard Bates (Vice President). Leonard was an Elevator Mechanic at that time for United States Elevator, and the couple decided to open their own firm. They have been signatory to the International Union of Elevator Constructors (IUEC Local 8 San Francisco) since inception, and have remained a certified Small Business (OSDS #4483) under California guidelines to the present. They are joined by their son Ryan Bates, also a CCCM-certified Elevator Mechanic, and his wife Kaylee Bates, who is the firm’s Office Manager and Compliance Specialist. In 2019, Paul Taormina joined the Bates family as General Manager, and the firm has over quadrupled in size since that time. Along the way, ETI has targeted and on-boarded a tremendous roster of experienced seasoned Field Mechanics and office personnel that have allowed this tremendous growth to become a reality.
 
ETI remains a proud, family-owned local firm that strongly believes in the empowerment and support of great employees, and a resolute commitment to our customers and the quality of our workmanship over short-term profits. We are not beholden to stockholders or any financial markets. We try to earn the business of our clients and solidify our reputation as a responsive, hard-working, honest, and determined Independent elevator full service provider – from service, repair, modernization and new installation. We have grown to be the largest Independent elevator company in the Sacramento Valley, stretching from Yreka to Merced, Napa to the Nevada border.
