High Caliber Contracting recently finished a house lifting project on the direct waterfront in Milford, CT. This home had flooded many times, and the homeowners were so tired of the cleanup and worry during every storm season. Our answer was simple: lift the home high, build a stronger foundation, and make sure that it’s ready for whatever the water has in store next.
We used steel beams and a synchronized jack system to raise the house slowly and evenly. Once the house was at the desired location, the home was then put on top of its new, code-compliant foundation high above the recommended FEMA base flood elevation. That added elevation matters. It keeps water out, saves the structure, and even saves on flood insurance in the years ahead.
Every shoreline project is different, but the goal is always the same—get it done right and get it done safely. Through careful planning, neat permits, and regular communication, this Milford project transformed a problem site into a good, long-term success.
