House Moving CT – Precise, Professional, and Built to Move
At High Caliber Contracting, we’ve been moving houses in Connecticut since 1993. It might sound like a big task — and it is — but with the right crew, it’s completely doable. Whether you’re trying to save a structure, make space for new construction, or just shift a building to a better spot, we’ve got the tools, the team, and the experience to get it done safely.
We do every project like it was our own house — no cuts, no taking for granted. Every step starts with a sound plan, the right tools, and the right communication. From the first day on the site to the last walk-through, our team works side-by-side, keeping the building level, stable, and covered throughout the process. When we say we do the job right, we mean it.
Why Would Someone Move a House or Structure?
People move buildings for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes it’s to save a historic home. Other times, it’s to stay within new property lines or clear room for something new. We’ve even helped folks move a house just a few feet to get it out of a flood zone. The bottom line is, if the building is worth saving, moving it can be a smarter option than tearing it down and starting from scratch.
How the House Moving Process Works
We always start with a careful inspection. We look at the structure, the foundation, the land, and everything around it. Once we’ve got a plan, we slide steel beams under the home and slowly lift it with hydraulic jacks. After that, the building is rolled or slid to its new spot — usually right on the same property. Once it’s in place, we lower it onto a new foundation and secure it. We make sure it’s level, safe, and ready to last.
What Kinds of Buildings Can Be Moved?
We don’t just move houses. We’ve moved barns, garages, yacht clubs, and even church buildings. As long as the structure is sound and there’s space to work, we can likely move it. Every project is different, and we treat each one with the care it deserves.
Yes, we’ve done that plenty of times. In some cases, we move both together. In others, we rebuild the garage after the move. It depends on how it’s attached.
Do you move buildings across long distances?
No, we don’t do long hauls or out-of-state moves. We focus on local house and building moving in CT — typically on the same property or nearby.
Will anything break?
With our process, we lift the structure slowly and evenly. That helps prevent cracks or stress on the building. We take care every step of the way.
