We raise Jersey Shore houses onto engineered piling foundations that clear the flood line, keep the structure dead level through every inch of the lift, and can lower your flood insurance for decades. One crew, from the first jack to the last utility reconnection.
From a full elevation on new pilings to leveling a house that has settled, one crew handles the structural work — planned on paper before a single jack goes under your home.
We lift your whole home above the flood line and set it on a new engineered foundation — the core of every elevation project.

See detailsThis is the whole idea in one motion: your home comes off its old slab and rises on new pilings until its lowest floor clears the Base Flood Elevation — the line the flood maps draw for your property. Higher than that line means dry floors in a storm, and often a lower flood-insurance premium.
Every real project starts by finding that line for your address, then engineering the foundation to put you safely above it.
House raising is methodical, not dramatic. Here's the path from your first phone call to a home that's back together and up out of the flood zone.
We visit the home, check your foundation, size, access and flood zone, and lay out your elevation options with a plan and price you approve first.
Engineered elevation drawings are prepared and the township permits and survey work are put in place before anything is disconnected.
Utilities are safely disconnected and we cut in the steel beams and cribbing that will carry the house during the raise.
A unified hydraulic jacking system raises the whole home together, a controlled inch at a time, so the structure stays dead level the entire way up.
Pilings, piers, or block go in beneath the raised home, and the house is set down and secured onto its new, code-height foundation.
Utilities are reconnected, access stairs and grading are handled, and the elevation-certificate paperwork closes out the project.
Elevating a home on the barrier islands and back bays is its own trade — tidal soils, tight lots, coastal wind loads and township rules that change town to town. It's the work we do, up and down both shore counties.
A raised house is only as good as the foundation under it and the care taken on the way up. We plan both around your flood zone, your soil, and your lot before the first jack turns.
From the Monmouth County beaches down through Ocean County and out to Long Beach Island — the flood-zone towns where homes get raised.
Don't see your town? If it's on or near the water in Ocean or Monmouth County, call (732) 724-1714 — we probably cover it.
The homes that flood are the ones we raise: oceanfront and bayfront blocks, lagoon lots, and the low riverfront neighborhoods behind them. If the flood maps put you in a zone, we can talk elevation.
