When someone calls us about House Lifting in CT, utilities almost always come up right away. People worry about losing heat, lights, or water, and that makes sense. A home isn’t just sitting there empty — it’s tied into a lot of systems. At High Caliber Contracting, we take time to explain how this part […]
This Norwalk job is a good example of how House Moving in CT helps homeowners rebuild the right way. The house needed a brand-new foundation, but tearing it down wasn’t the answer. Instead, we planned a clean move so the home could be saved and set back on solid ground. At High Caliber Contracting, this […]
This job is a great example of what House Moving in CT is really about. We were called in to move this home that needed more room in the front yard and better placement on the property. The plan was for it to be moved approximately 8 feet further sideways and 35 feet further forward. […]
That CT Community News story about the Milford, CT storms hit home for us. Folks here have dealt with Irene, Sandy, Isaias and more over the last 15 years, with stronger winds, bigger waves, and power losses that stick in your head.

The call came in from Litchfield on a rough morning. A 35-foot, ~31,000-lb digester lid had jumped and landed crooked inside the concrete tank. A 90-ton crane tried to pick it and couldn’t move it an inch. Tight walls, bad angles, no room to swing. This is the kind of problem we’ve seen before, so […]

Lift-in-place means we raise your home straight up, then a crew comes in to fix or build the new foundation, then set it back down right where it was. It’s the quick, clean route […]
When a home sits by a marsh, river, or cove, the rules tighten—and that’s fine by us. Before any house lifting in CT, we walk the site with the owner, note wet spots and tide reach, and talk with the town’s wetlands agent. If permits are needed from the inland wetlands commission or CT DEEP, […]
When you finish lifting your CT home, the next smart step is getting a FEMA Elevation Certificate. Think of it like the official scorecard for your home’s new height. It records the finished floor elevation, the flood zone, and a few other details your town and insurer care about. We handle the lift; a licensed […]

There was snow on the ground the whole time. Even with winter weather, we kept the plan moving—no shortcuts, no damage, and zero issues at set-down. Winter work just […]
