If you live near the water, you’ve probably worried about flooding at some point. At High Caliber Contracting, we’ve seen it all—especially along the Connecticut shoreline. That’s why house lifting is one of the smartest things you can do if your home is in a flood zone. We’ve been doing this kind of work since 1993, and we know how to do it safely and right the first time.
House lifting in CT is when we raise your home off its current foundation, usually to build a new one that’s higher and stronger. This helps keep your home above flood level and protects it from future storm damage. It’s not just for when something goes wrong either—many homeowners lift their houses before the next big storm hits, so they don’t have to deal with expensive repairs later on.
House lifting can look like a challenging task, but we have lifted hundreds of houses in our 30+ years. We use heavy steel beams and heavy-duty jacks to pick up the house in an even and secure manner. From a small cottage to a large building, we possess the equipment and experience to lift your building in CT without damage. We take pride in ensuring that all elements of your home are secure throughout the process.
One of the best things about house lifting is that it adds value and peace of mind. Not only are you protecting your investment, but you may also save money on flood insurance. Plus, you’ll be meeting the latest codes, especially if you’re near the coast. Many towns in Connecticut even encourage house lifting to help prevent future flood problems.

We’re here to make it simple, safe, and stress-free. Floods can’t be stopped—but with the right lift, your home can rise above them.
