WRAP IT.
Give existing commercial elevator interiors, doors and landings a new look with architectural film—a cost-effective alternative to full cosmetic replacement when the surfaces are suitable.

- Cost Savings30%-80% less compared to the traditional elevator renovation methods.
- Reduced DemolitionLess tear-out where existing surfaces are sound.
- Less DisruptionLess intrusive, quiet, and much quicker than a full interior replacement.

| Consideration | Architectural Film Resurfacing | Cosmetic Interior Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Cost factors | Starting around $5,000 per cab, with potential savings of 30–80% compared to replacement. Pricing depends on cab count, surface area, preparation, film selection, and site conditions. | Starting around $15,000 per cab. Costs depend on new materials, demolition, disposal, installation, and project requirements. |
| Existing surfaces | Suitable existing panels and surfaces are retained, prepared, and wrapped with architectural film. | Existing decorative panels and finishes are typically removed and replaced with new materials. |
| Demolition | Minimal demolition when existing surfaces are suitable, reducing removal, disposal, and associated labor. | Removal and disposal of existing panels and finishes are typically part of the project. |
| Materials | Hundreds of architectural film finishes, including wood grains, brushed metals, stone, marble, solid colors, and textures. | New metal, laminate, wood, glass, or custom decorative panels, depending on specifications. |
| Installation | Professional installation by Resurface Wraps, often completed in 1–2 working days per cab, depending on scope and site conditions. | Installation typically takes several days or longer, depending on demolition, materials, and complexity. |
| Disruption | Work may require temporarily taking the elevator out of service if installation cannot be performed while operating. Scheduling depends on the scope and property requirements. | Elevator shutdown is typically required during removal and installation, with duration depending on the replacement scope. |
Pricing represents illustrative starting benchmarks for cosmetic elevator interiors, not guaranteed quotes. The 30–80% potential savings range should be supported by comparable project pricing. Actual costs, schedules, and downtime vary by project.

Questions, answered
Ask a project question A few useful first answers.
What is commercial elevator resurfacing?
Resurfacing applies architectural film over suitable existing decorative surfaces, such as selected cab panels or landing door faces. The substrate must be reviewed and prepared; the finish is not a structural or mechanical repair.
Can every elevator be resurfaced?
Most can be. Suitability depends on existing material, condition, profile, compatibility and project requirements. A project-specific review is needed before a scope can be recommended.
How long does installation take?
Typically 1 working day . Timing depends on the number of surfaces, preparation, access, site readiness and other conditions. The elevator may need to be temporarily out of service while installation takes place; the project team coordinates logistics with the property.
How much does elevator resurfacing cost?
Usually $5,000-$10,000per cab and around $1500 per landing opening. Cost depends on cab count, areas included, substrate condition, finish selection, access and schedule. Share your project details for a site-specific conversation; there is no universal price.
How durable is architectural film?
When properly installed and maintained, architectural film can provide a durable, attractive finish for years. Like any decorative surface, it can be damaged by sharp objects or heavy impacts. Every property experiences different levels of traffic and wear, so additional value-engineering solutions, such as kickplates or wall protection, may be worth considering in high-impact areas. We help select the right film for your application and recommend protective measures when needed to keep your elevators looking their best.
What finishes are available?
Hundreds of finishes are available, including realistic wood grains, brushed metals, stainless steel looks, stone, marble, solid colors, and textured designs. Whether you're matching an existing lobby or completely changing the look of your elevators, we can help you find a finish that fits your property's design. Samples are available so you can see and feel the material before making a decision.
