The owners were planning renovations, but the town’s new flood rules meant the home had to sit higher. Our job was to raise the structure safely, keep it level, and set it up for a clean remodel—without […]
We took on a house lifting job in Westport, CT where the owner wanted real headroom downstairs—not the duck-your-head kind. The plan was simple: raise the house, reset it on a new foundation, and finish with 9-foot ceilings in the basement.
