Five Reasons Why You Might Want To Lift A House

You Want More Space

When extending your home, you might want to consider adding a second story and raising your house. The process of raising your home could enable you to create a full basement from an existing crawl space, or make your basement ceiling higher. The methods above and others could help you reduce your home’s cost per square foot by doubling its size. First floors and basements can add 60 – 70 percent less square footage than adding them in other ways. You’ll also be able to keep your backyard if you raise your house rather than extend it. There isn’t much outdoor space in the city because typical residential lots are so small. Elevating your home leaves you with more space outdoors.

Smarter Than Moving

Every $1.00 invested in raising and improving a house increases its value by $1.50. Plus, you won’t have to worry about real estate fees, land transfer taxes, legal fees, and moving costs (such as those associated with buying and selling larger homes).

It is important that your home match your lifestyle, even if you like your current home and neighborhood. Perhaps your family is expanding and you are looking for a place that will serve your family for many years to come. You can also consider renting out a portion of your space. It might be helpful to rent a room if you need money for renovations.

Flood Protection

Many people live near water – in freshwater areas subject to flooding, in wetlands, or on low-bank properties along the ocean and sound shorelines. If the house is located near high-water zones, it may need to be moved back or raised. Whether you are taking preventative measures in case of future flooding due to flooding in your house, or if your house has been flooded and you need a lift for possible relief from further flooding, we can help. In addition to mitigating climate change impacts such as sea level rise, house lifting can also reduce flooding.
