Home Elevation

Have you experienced any damage to your home in the last year or so, whether it be water damage or structural damage? Have you ever considered home elevation? Home elevation is when your house is raised from its foundation and placed upon a more elevated structure such as a heightened slab or upright pylons. Home elevation is a complex process, but the final outcome is always worth it.

There are a few reasons homeowners choose to elevate, or raise, their homes. The number one reason being to avoid the risk of flooding, especially here in Louisiana. New Orleans and its surrounding areas are extremely susceptible to flooding, so having your home raised helps reduce the chances of flooding significantly. Other reasons people want their homes elevated include giving their home a better support structure, adding a more striking visual attractiveness, and of course, safety precautions.

Elevating your home can be quite rewarding for you and your family. It gives your home a whole new aesthetic appeal that can’t be quite replicated with a new paint job or the like. Whether you would like to raise your home just a few inches, a foot, or a whole story, we will work with you every step of the way to make sure that you are receiving the elevated home of your dreams. If you have experienced the plethora of hurricanes and spells of flooding that have plagued the Greater New Orleans Region over the past few decades then you are aware of the many benefits that come along with having your home elevated. It has been proven to save you and your loved ones’ time, money, and heartache.
