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.



Same Lot - New Foundation

• Look at any additions on the house and how it is constructed; additions, porches, chimneys
• Detach: Decks, Additions, Skirt Boards
• Excavation: get ready for beams and blocking
• Cutting holes in the foundation
• Set the beams and raise the house
• Hold it: Prepare new foundation under the house
• Roll onto the new foundation

If you are thinking about, raising or relocating your structure, the following are things to consider:

- Will the structure fit from point A to point B? Consider both the width and the height of the structure (i.e. trees, bridges, telephone poles, etc.)

- When a flood zone is involved you will need to know, elavations and have a foundation plan. Local engineers will be able to assist with this.

Please feel free to call or email us with any questions, concerns, or to make an appointment, for us to look at your project.

I guarantee satisfaction with the work we will perform for you.

That's our promise to you.
