BUILT ON FIELD EXPERIENCE
Independent judgment.
Oklahoma knowledge.
Owner Matt Carpenter began working in the elevator industry as an apprentice in 2001. He founded Sooner Elevator Inspections in 2009 as independent elevator inspection became available under Oklahoma’s Elevator Safety Act and was among the state’s earliest independent inspectors.
More than two decades of elevator experience—from hands-on field work to independent inspection—covers everything from single-elevator properties to large, complex portfolios. Our purpose is straightforward: help owners meet state requirements, keep equipment safe, and make inspections easier to schedule, understand, and document.
