These are not estimates or projections. These are documented outcomes from real AEP clients who stopped taking their contractor's word for it.
An isomeric buffer — a round rubber block — needed replacement. One contractor quoted $10,000. Another quoted $15,000. Watch how long it actually takes.

Your elevator contractor controls all the information. They write the proposal, they name the part, they set the price — and they assume you have no way to verify any of it. AEP exists to close that gap. A licensed inspector who has seen thousands of these repairs knows exactly what's involved. The part costs $100 and takes 15 seconds to swap — as the video shows. AEP sourced a qualified contractor to perform the work at 85% below the lowest original quote.
Every case is different. The pattern is not.
A building's long-time service provider submitted a $400,000 door replacement proposal. AEP sourced competitive bids. The original contractor — suddenly facing competition — cut their own price in half before a single competitor was awarded the job.
This building had one elevator — no stairs alternative for residents who needed it most. It had been out of service for over a month with no resolution in sight. AEP stepped in, cut through the contractor's delays, and restored service within days. No more climbing stairs, no more waiting. AEP also identified a $4,000 part that had been billed to the owner but never should have been — and recovered the full amount.
A condominium association had used the same elevator service provider for 35 years and had no frame of reference for what fair pricing looked like. AEP reviewed their contract, secured better service terms at over $500 savings per month, and identified $400,000 in proposed repairs that were not necessary — and were never performed.
After a routine inspection flagged violations, the building's contractor submitted a $300,000 proposal to address them. AEP reviewed the violations and the scope of work required. The necessary repairs were completed for $40,000 — $260,000 less than the original quote.
Let AEP read it before you do.
If we don't find savings, you don't pay us.
