House moving is more than just a trend; it’s the ultimate form of recycling. Recently, High Caliber, a company specializing in house lifting and relocation, was tasked with moving a beautifully finished house in Madison, CT. One neighbor had bought the property for the land and was planning to demolish the house, which was around 4,000 square feet. Another neighbor, who was about to build a new home, saw the potential in this house and asked if he could have it. The first neighbor graciously agreed, setting the stage for an impressive feat of entire house moving.
High Caliber’s team expertly jacked up the house and moved it approximately 100 feet to its new location, ensuring it was placed perfectly within the required setbacks. Remarkably, the house didn’t suffer a single crack during the process. This meticulous relocation involved leaving the house 14 feet high over a new basement hole, allowing for a new foundation with a chimney base to be constructed. Once the foundation was ready, High Caliber carefully lowered the house onto it, completing the house lifting and relocation with precision and skill.
Both neighbors were thrilled with the results. The homeowner who wanted to demolish the house was happy to see it was repurposed, and the neighbor who received the house was delighted they avoided the lengthy construction process. This story highlights the benefits of house relocation in CT, showcasing how an entire house moving project can bring satisfaction and sustainability, proving that sometimes the best way to build new is to move the old.
