“When you build something with care and integrity, people notice.”
Born and raised in Brooklyn, Tommy Curran entered the elevator industry in 1981 as an apprentice, not knowing it would become a lifelong calling. He worked his way up from the bottom—learning the trade in the field, attending night school for electrical engineering, and eventually teaching classes at the elevator industry school. In 1989, with the support of a close friend and a lot of determination, he opened his first elevator company out of his mother’s second-floor apartment.
In 2004, he founded North American Elevator with a simple but powerful mission: to provide honest, professional service while building a team that feels like family. Today, the company is one of the few remaining privately owned elevator firms in New York City and New Jersey, trusted by developers, property managers, and institutions across the region.
“What a career,” Tommy says. “Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to help build thousands of elevators throughout NYC and NJ. But it’s the people I’ve worked with that matter most.”
Outside of work, Tommy lives a healthy, active lifestyle. He enjoys global motorcycle adventures—from the mountains of Canada to the coasts of Italy—and finds peace in the road ahead. Grounded, grateful, and always looking forward, Tommy continues to lead North American Elevator with heart and purpose.
Tommy’s motto: “Treat everyone with kindness.”
Tommy Curran, founder of North American Elevator, began his elevator career in 1981 as a summer job while putting himself through college at night.
What started as a summer job became a lifelong career. Tommy learned the elevator business from the ground up — working as an elevator mechanic, learning from experienced tradesmen, serving customers, and solving real problems in real buildings.
Over the years, Tommy came to believe that elevator service is about more than machines. It is about safety, trust, communication, and standing behind your word.
In 2004, Tommy founded North American Elevator with a simple purpose: to build a privately owned elevator company that does quality work, treats customers with respect, and gives building owners honest answers.
Today, North American Elevator maintains, repairs, modernizes, and installs elevators throughout New York City and New Jersey. The company services hundreds of elevators, from high-rise hotels and commercial buildings to residential properties, freight elevators, automobile elevators, truck elevators, and custom industrial applications.
With a 15,000-square-foot office and warehouse facility in Linden, New Jersey, and a sales office in New York City, North American Elevator has the people, space, equipment, and experience to support projects of all sizes.
Tommy remains closely involved in the company, but he is the first to say that North American Elevator’s strength comes from its dedicated staff — the mechanics, office team, salespeople, project managers, and field leaders who show up every day and take pride in the work.
