What Will it Cost to Raise my House?

Wondering how much raising your house will cost? Please share the estimates you have received to raise your house so that we can all get a better idea of what price range is reasonable.

If you have to raise your home due to being substantially damaged or because you do not want to pay the insanely high flood insurance premiums, chances are you may have received an estimate or are interested in knowing how much it might cost you.

For anyone who has gotten an estimate, please share how much you were quoted, and if this estimate is for a house on block or piles. If possible, try to list the cost of raising the house as a separate cost item from any other services you are getting (i.e., new deck, porch, etc.). This way we can really see the comparison.

We will take all responses from this site and the other disaster recovery sites we are active on and post the results on our Facebook page "Disaster Recovery Resources."
