House Raising on Long Beach Island
House raising starts with a review of your home, foundation, utilities and required approvals. Shore Builders Group works with homeowners on Long Beach Island (LBI), including Long Beach Township, to plan the project.
Your questions, answered
Can my existing home be raised?
That requires a property-specific review. The existing structure, foundation, utilities and access all matter. A photograph alone cannot establish whether raising a particular home is suitable.
What information helps us get started?
Share any survey, elevation information and architectural or engineering plans you already have, along with your goals for the home. These help identify what needs further review.
What else needs to be considered?
A raising project can affect stairs, entrances, utility connections and the space below the home. These elements need to be considered with the structure and required approvals, not as isolated changes.
Does raising a home guarantee flood protection?
No project can guarantee that a home will never experience flood damage. Elevation, design and site conditions require professional review, and insurance questions should be addressed with your insurer.
