When folks hear the words “house lifting,” they often picture a little one-story cottage getting raised. But here at High Caliber Contracting, we’ve lifted plenty of two- and even three-story homes all over Connecticut. House lifting isn’t just for small places—it’s for any structure that needs to get out of harm’s way or start fresh with a better foundation. And yes, that includes big houses too.
Lifting a multi-story home comes with a few more steps, but it’s nothing our crew can’t handle. We’ve done jobs where full-size homes, with porches, chimneys, and even additions, were raised safely and set back down like nothing ever happened. Whether it’s along the shoreline or tucked into a tight neighborhood, we’ve got the tools and experience to lift big buildings with care.
One of the biggest questions we get is: “Can my home be lifted if it has more than one floor?” The answer is yes. We’ve lifted two- and three-story homes in places like Milford, Westport, Old Saybrook and Branford. In each job, we take our time to plan things out, making sure every beam and jack is placed just right. We also work around porches, decks, garages—whatever is attached to your home, we know how to handle it.
House Lifting in CT isn’t just about getting higher—it’s about protecting your investment. Floods, old foundations, or building code changes are real concerns here in Connecticut. A building lifting CT project can help you meet FEMA guidelines, lower your flood insurance, and make your home safer for years to come. And no matter how tall your home is, we treat every job like it’s our own.
We’ve seen it all—cracked chimneys that stayed perfect through a lift, enclosed porches that didn’t shift an inch, and tight-lot homes that had to be lifted and moved at the same time. It’s not just about having strong equipment—it’s about having a team that knows how to use it. With over 30 years of lifting experience in CT, we’re proud to say we’ve never backed down from a challenge.
So if you’re wondering whether your multi-story house can be lifted, the answer is simple: Yes, it can. And High Caliber Contracting is the company to call. We know House Lifting, House Lifting CT, and Building Lifting CT inside and out. Ready to see what’s possible? Let’s talk about your home.
