At High Caliber Contracting, one of the most common questions we get is, “How did you lift that house without cracking the walls or breaking the things inside?” The answer is simple — experience, the right tools, and taking our time. We’ve been doing house lifting in CT since 1993, and every project we do is handled with care from start to finish.
Planning is the first thing we do in any house lifting endeavor. We visit the home from top to bottom, inside and out. We check the foundation, the frame, and anything that is attached like porches or chimneys. This allows us to know where to put our steel beams so the house does not become lopsided during the lift. We also talk with the owner about any unique characteristics, like fireplaces or additions, so that they are not damaged.
When we’re ready, we place heavy-duty steel beams under the home and position our hydraulic jacks. The jacks all work together to lift the home level. It’s not quick — and that’s the best part. We lift the house incrementally, taking care that everything remains straight and stable. From a small cottage to a major building, our crew knows how to get a building lifted in CT safely.
As the house comes up, we keep an eye on everything — walls, windows, doors — to make sure nothing shifts. If something needs extra support, we handle it on the spot. That’s the difference between just lifting a house and doing it right. We also work closely with your contractor if you’re adding a new foundation, basement, or crawl space.
We’ve lifted homes with finished interiors, furniture inside, and even homes that have historical value. With the right crew and the right equipment, you don’t have to worry about damage. That’s why people trust us for house lifting CT — we treat every house like it’s our own.
