How it started
Founded on trust, built on experience
Sentry Elevator Inspections was founded more than 15 years ago by Larry Nelson with one clear mission: to deliver reliable, high-quality elevator inspections that owners can trust.
With over 60 years of hands-on experience in the elevator industry, Larry’s career began in installation, service, and repair — building deep technical knowledge and an unwavering commitment to customer service.
Today, Sentry Elevator Inspections is a leading provider of QEI inspections in Florida, having completed thousands of inspections ranging from small residential elevators to complex commercial systems.
