Back to Top Do you move commercial buildings? Yes. We have worked with some of the largest general contractors in the United States to relocate a variety of commercial structures. This includes office buildings, churches, hotels and warehouses, for example. References are available upon request. Back to Top Can a masonry structure, including brick, stone and cement block, be moved or raised? Yes. With over forty years of experience, we are experts in moving or raising masonry structures. We use specialized equipment, including unified hydraulic jacking systems and hydraulic dollies. We have experience working with brick, double brick, stone and solid masonry, which has given us the expert knowledge to get the job done safely and efficiently. Back to Top Can porches, additions, decks and attached garages be raised or moved with our home? Yes. To raise your house for a new foundation, we can lift all of the above with the main house. On a move however, depending on the travel route, it may be necessary to move some of these sections separately. Back to Top I was told that my home couldn’t be moved with the fireplace intact. Is this so? We can move your home with or without the fireplace intact. We will provide pricing both ways. Back to Top Is it possible to put in a new foundation on an existing home? Yes. Raising an existing home for a new foundation is very common. Homeowners choose to do this for several reasons. The house may be on a slab and the homeowner would like a full basement or lower level for additional living space. Other homeowners may simply want to replace an old stone foundation or they may want to change a crawl space to a more functional area. We maintain our own excavating equipment specifically to perform these types of jobs. Back to Top Can the foundation be poured prior to the house moving to the new site? Foundations (basements) can be poured ahead of time, however on most houses, the hole is dug prior to moving. The house is placed over the foundation area and raised to an acceptable height, so the concrete contractor can pour the new foundation. Approximately ten days after the foundation is poured the house is set atop of the new basement and all of our equipment is removed. Back to Top How far can a building be moved? As long as there is a good travel route, a building can be moved practically any distance. When moving a building over one-and-a-half stories high, utility wires become a factor. The wires may have to be raised along the travel route, which, depending on the number involved, increases the price of the move. Ranch-style buildings are typically low in height and can be moved in such a way that wires are not a factor. Back to Top Are there other moving options when utility wires come into play? Yes. A two-story house can be moved by separating the second floor from the first floor. Both sections can be moved at the same time, thus avoiding utility wire costs. The upper level is cut away and removed with a crane and is reattached at the new location. Additional costs include the crane rental, though this can often be more cost-effective than having to work with the utility wires. Back to Top Can we stay in our house while you’re prepping for a move or raising it for a new foundation? Yes. Owners often occupy their home while we work, especially when we are raising a house and excavating for a new foundation. We find ways to make this as easy as possible on the family. Back to Top My project location seems far away from where your house moving company is located. How would this affect the costs on my project? Location is not a factor in determining your project cost. Near or far, we base project costs on our company’s standard pricing structure. We are capable of moving our equipment to your site anywhere in the continental United Sates. In fact, our experienced crews love to travel!
