At High Caliber Contracting, we recently finished a house lifting project on a small cottage right on Milford Harbor. This cozy shoreline home needed a new basement, and the only way to make that happen was to get the house raised off its old foundation. With water so close, working carefully was key — but we got the job done right.
The cottage had a partly enclosed porch, which we made sure stayed solid and undamaged during the lift. Our crew used heavy-duty steel beams and hydraulic jacks to slowly and safely get the home lifted, giving plenty of room underneath for the new basement to be poured. Being on the harbor means flood risk is real, so raising the home also helps protect it from future water damage.
