Our Story
Coastal Lifts & Elevators is a family-owned company founded in 2024 by Doug and Amanda Banks, following the growth of their first business, Coastal Boat Lift, which has proudly served the marine construction industry since 2014.
​
As more homeowners began requesting lift solutions beyond the dock, Doug and Amanda saw the need for a dedicated service—and Coastal Lifts & Elevators was born. Amanda, who spent 17 years in public accounting before joining Doug full-time in 2018, brought her financial and business expertise to the helm. Together, they built a company rooted in responsive communication, quality craftsmanship, and personal service.
​
Their son Austin has worked alongside them since the early days, keeping the operation a true family effort.
​
Today, Coastal Lifts & Elevators proudly delivers custom lift installations and dependable maintenance to help homeowners navigate elevated living with ease and confidence.
