We took on a house lifting job in Westport, CT where the owner wanted real headroom downstairs—not the duck-your-head kind. The plan was simple: raise the house, reset it on a new foundation, and finish with 9-foot ceilings in the basement. We walked the lot, marked utilities, and talked through the sequence with the homeowner so there were no surprises.
On lift day, our crew slid in the steel, hooked up the jacks, and brought the house up slow—quarter turns, level checks, the whole deal. While the structure rested on cribbing, they handled drainage, poured the walls, and set proper egress so the space is legal and bright. This is House Lifting in CT done right: steady pace, clean site, clear updates.
Now the lower level actually works—room for a gym, a play space, or a workshop, without changing the footprint. If you’ve been thinking about more space or a stronger footing, a building lift can do both at once. We’ll look at your place, explain your options in plain English, and build a plan that fits your timeline.
