Charleston's House Raising & Home Elevation Experts.
Lift your home above flood level, cut your flood insurance 40–80%, and achieve full FEMA compliance — done by a licensed heavy-equipment crew that raises Lowcountry homes year-round.
What We Do
House Lifting
Synchronized hydraulic jacking lifts your home evenly and safely — slab or pier-and-beam, we raise them all without cracking walls or breaking plumbing.
About House Lifting →Home Elevation
We raise your home above Base Flood Elevation plus freeboard, then certify it — full FEMA compliance and the flood-insurance savings that come with it.
About Home Elevation →Foundation Replacement
New piers, driven pilings, or reinforced masonry built under your lifted home — engineered for coastal wind, surge, and Lowcountry soil.
About Foundations →Your Elevation May Already Be Funded.
Most Charleston homeowners we work with qualify for at least one federal or state program. We handle the paperwork.
Up to $30,000 from the NFIP flood policy you already have — Increased Cost of Compliance pays toward elevation after flood damage.
HMGP funding through SCEMD covers a major share of elevation costs after federally declared disasters.
Up to 100% federal cost share for severe repetitive loss homes through Flood Mitigation Assistance.
