At High Caliber Contracting, we’ve been lifting homes and buildings in Connecticut since 1993. One part of the job that really means a lot to us is helping to save historic places. From old barns to family homes passed down for generations, building lifting in CT is one of the best ways to protect these structures without tearing them down.
A lot of folks think once an old building starts to sag or flood, it’s done for—but that’s not true. With the right equipment and experience, we can get the house lifted, fix the foundation, and set it back down stronger than before. This lets the building stay where it’s been for decades, still looking the same, but with a safer and better base underneath.
We’ve worked on barns from the 1800s, cottages on the shoreline, and even old brick homes with fireplaces and chimneys. Every job is different, but we take our time, plan it out, and lift the whole structure slow and steady. That way, nothing shifts, nothing cracks, and everything stays true to how it was built.
Sometimes, lifting a historic home isn’t just about fixing problems—it’s also about protecting it from future damage. Rising water and storms are becoming more common here in Connecticut. House lifting CT helps keep these one-of-a-kind places above the flood line, without losing what makes them special.
Another great part of lifting an older structure is that it opens the door for upgrades. Once lifted, you can add a basement, put in better insulation, or fix rotted supports without changing the way the house looks. We work with homeowners, towns, and preservation groups to make sure every detail is handled right.
If you’ve got a historic home, barn, or building you’re trying to save, give High Caliber Contracting a call. We believe that house lifting isn’t just construction—it’s a way to hold onto the past while making things stronger for the future.
