Building Moving Services

There are different components of building moving; moving the house to put on a new foundation on the same lot, moving the house to a new lot, and demolition.

Here are some broad steps in how we prepare for a move and execute it.

We use very specialized equipment that we own and have in-house, so we do not need to rent, borrow or buy to execute your project.

Please look through our Gallery for some detailed pictures of our work, as well as viewing a very large project; the Nauset Lighthouse Keeper's House move in 1998. View here.
