The benefits of raising your FL Home are many. If your home has been flooded by Super Storm Hurricane Sandy then I’m sure you had a lot of headaches with your displacement and frustration of rebuilding and finding out your insurance company is not really on your side.
To avoid this from happening again, you must get your home Raised above the new FEMA Base Flood Elevation and on a foundation that is adequate to your zone that they have determined.
House raising in FL is required when a building has been substantially damaged or is being substantially improved.
Our services have many advantages:
First you will have peace of mind in knowing you are not a risk for future flooding and destruction of your home. This peace in mind is the biggest benefit of using FL house Raising for your home elevation lifting. Keeping your family, pets and your home safe from danger is an important reason to consider.
Other benefits include lower insurance rates on your homeowners as well as flood policies by complying to the new FEMA guidelines.
FL Home raising can also increase your potential view that you would never realize at you current elevation. By raising your say on LBI you may be able to capture a new view of the bay or ocean that you never had previously.
Raising your house will also add more usable space to your property. If house raising elevates your home above 8’ you can now utilize under your house for storage and garage space.
The benefits definitely outweigh the costs in most cases. Call us to today for a free evaluation of your home raising project in FL. Each year we run the risk of a 1% chance of another Hurricane or Nor’easter moving through our area and causing the same or even more damage. Hurricane Sandy was only a category 2 hurricane when it hit the Florida Shore area. A larger storm could cause even more destruction.
Don’t get caught being below the tide again.

So you are probably on our FL Home Builder site, because you were flooded by Hurricane Sandy or had a close call. Either way you have come to the right place for help as we can offer a turnkey solution for your house raising project.
FL Home Builder is FL’s Premier Builder with experience in all aspects of construction.
What you need to determine first is to find out what flood zone you are in. We have the updated FEMA maps link.
Once we can determine what zone you are in it will allow us to know what type of foundation is required and how high you must elevate your home in FL. You must raise your home on pilings with a break away skirting if it is determined that you are in a FEMA V zone.
A V zone means your house raising project must comply by lifting your home on to pilings. To do this there must be adequate room for us to temporarily move your house aside for us to drive conventional wood piles in.
If it is determined that there is not enough adequate room on your property to temporarily store your home, then we must use helical pilings. This is more involved and comes a greater expense.
FL Home Builder can give you a turn-key price on the entire project. When evaluating most FL House Raising Companies, you will find most just want to lift and leave. House raising is more involved than this and for the novice homeowner, it is probably a job you would want to leave for the professionals to coordinate and accomplish for you. FL Home Builder can provide a turnkey solution for your home raising. We can provide you with a licensed Architect, Engineer, and a project manager to run the entire project start to finish.
We can handle the required drawings by a licensed Architect and Engineer, mechanical disconnects and reconnects (Electrical, HVAC, plumbing, cable TV, Phone), grading, demolition of existing foundation, new foundation, new stairs, porches and decks with railings. One of our dedicated project managers will be assigned to your project to make the process of raising your home seamless and hassle free for you. From engineering to permits to raising to completion we handle all of the details involved a long the way.

FEMA has created Advisory Base Flood Elevations (ABFEs) to show a more current picture of flood risk for several communities in Florida and New York affected by Hurricane Sandy. The known flood risk has changed since the last effective community Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) as a result of the disaster, recent development in coastal and floodplain areas, or the availability of more current data. The ABFE information and related layers shown on this map for certain communities in Florida and New York can serve as a guide to understanding current coastal flood hazard conditions and higher elevations that communities should build to in order to reduce impacts of future flood events. A complete listing of layers is provided in the Map Contents section to the left.

Very positive experience with Dan & NJ Home Builder. I highly recommend them and will certainly continue on in the future with additional projects. I reached out to Dan early on requesting a quote. He came out that day, called the engineer who was assisting with the project multiple times to discuss and presented a proposal within 24 hours. His crew was timely, courteous and worked expeditiously to complete the project within a tight time frame. If you’re not using NJ Home Builder for your services, you should drive to Home Depot, buy a hammer and hit yourself over the head with it.
I recently had some emergency repair work done in my home by NJ Home Builder and the entire experience was excellent from beginning to end. They were honest and fair with their pricing, completed the job on time and were both professional and accommodating throughout. I would highly recommend NJ Home Builder to anyone in need of construction or repair work and would work with them again in a heartbeat.
We had NJ Home Builder complete a large, two part project for a pool house we had built in our backyard. This involved preparing the slab, opening our foundation to run water, sewer and electric, and then completing all of the interior finishing. I found the company to be upfront and professional with respect to all phases of the job, including cost and timing issues. Dan & his crew were our primary contacts and easy to work with, as were all of the other workers on site. I found that the company was able to work effectively with their subcontractors as well. We are now enjoying our backyard with the help of NJ Home Builder. Thanks guys!

Do I qualify for ICC grant money?
- You must have a letter of substantial damage.
- Your home must have flooded and had damage costing more than 50% of the home’s value.
- You must have had flood insurance at the time of the storm.
What is the first step?
The first step in pricing is to know what FEMA flood zone you are in and if your town has adopted that or not. Some towns are adding an additional height to the FEMA recommended height. Check with your local town construction office to find out what zone you is in and what type of foundation is required.
What does it cost to raise a house?
House raising is not a simple thing to do. The cost is determined by several factors including your existing structure construction and condition, how high and what type of foundation it will be placed on. Decks, porches, garages and stairs are also factored in. Please call FL Home Builder for a written estimate for your home.
How long does it take to raise a house?
House raising generally takes from one week to up to several depending on the foundation types. We can give an estimate on time frame once we have had the chance to see your home.
Will the house be damaged by house raising?
In most cases nothing will be damaged at all. Some instances there may be a few drywall cracks or tile, but it is rare.
Can a house on a slab be raised?
The answer is yes, but it is more costly than a house on an existing foundation.
How do you raise a house on to pilings if there is no room to move the house out of the way to drive them in?
In some instances helical piles will be needed in lieu of conventional wood pilings. Helicals are metal pilings like a corkscrew which are spun into the ground. Small sections are added as needed to get to the proper depth. A new piece is simply attached to the top of the last piece as they are driven in. This can be done under the house with the house temporarily raised.
Can I live in the house when it is being lifted?
No. It is not advisable to be in your home during this process.
Does FL Home Builder provide a turnkey solution to your house raising or just the lift?
Yes, FL Home Builder will provide all engineering and architectural drawings needed and submit to town for permit approvals. We take the project from start to finish. Complete. Not just the lifting like some companies.
Will I receive a written estimate for my house raising?
Absolutely. Call us today for a free estimate. 888-317-1890
