Dumbwaiters for Southern California Homes

In a home with the garage on one level and the kitchen on another, or a roof deck three floors above the refrigerator, a dumbwaiter earns its keep every day. We install Jeeves dumbwaiters in houses, restaurants and other businesses in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego.

Residential units need a shaft about the size of a small closet. Commercial units are built for heavier, more frequent loads. Call (714) 228-9982 or request a quote for a site visit.

Garage Below, Kitchen Above

The most requested route in Southern California runs from a garage at street level to a kitchen on the floor above. We describe it in dumbwaiters for homes with the garage below the kitchen, and dumbwaiters in new homes and renovations explains why more builders are including them.

Pair a Dumbwaiter With an Elevator

A dumbwaiter carries goods only. In a multi-level home it pairs well with a home elevator or glass elevator for people, and a stair lift is the simpler choice where one staircase is the obstacle.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dumbwaiters

Can a dumbwaiter serve a roof deck?

Yes, provided the shaft can run in a straight line to that level. It is a popular feature in multi-story coastal homes.

How many stops can a dumbwaiter have?

Two is most common, and additional stops can be added where the openings line up.

Can a dumbwaiter be added to an existing house?

Often, yes. We look for a vertical route through closets, a pantry or an unused corner.

Are dumbwaiters used in restaurants?

Yes. Commercial dumbwaiters move food, dishes and supplies between a kitchen and dining areas on other floors.
