structural relocation and house moving
Love your house but need to change locations?
Expert House Movers and Lifters reposition buildings on or off site. We assess the building, property, and transit route to the new location in order to determine a safe, efficient, and cost-effective way to relocate your structure intact. No matter the reason for moving your structure, you can trust the experienced and trained crew at Expert House Movers and Lifters to solve your specific needs.
If you're in a situation where your home is being compromised by the location, we can help. The vast majority of buildings are moved because they are in imminent danger of being destroyed – like in high risk flood zones or in the way of new construction.
House moving is the most environmentally friendly way to recycle the house you love and ensure it lives on for generations. Don't let your house get demolished - that's why home movers like Expert exist!

foundation repairs
Minor problems can lead to serious foundation issues
Foundation damage happens when soil shifts, expands, contracts, or causes drainage problems, all of which can cause your foundation to settle. House settling can result in visible issues like cracks in walls and ceilings, sloping floors, or windows that won't open. Settling can also cause serious issues under the surface that requires foundation repairs.
Expert House Movers and Lifters install helical and push piers to solve foundation settlement problems caused by unsuitable soil conditions. We provide strong and reliable systems for repairing heavy industrial, commercial, and residential foundations and foundation leveling. We are proud of our expertise and know that your property will benefit from our decades of experience.
