Do you need new supports or a full lift?
Settling in one spot can often be fixed with new supports there. Settling across the house usually calls for a full lift, and I'll say so when the smaller job will do.
New supports may be enough when:
- The settling is in one corner or side
- Floors are only off in one area
- Cracks have stopped growing
- The rest of the foundation is sound
- Doors stick only near the low spot
A full lift makes more sense when:
- Floors slope across several rooms
- Cracks keep opening around the house
- The whole foundation has settled or heaved
- Supports alone won't bring it level
- Earlier spot repairs haven't held
How a house lift works with us
You call us
Call or send the form, and we get back to you to set up a time for me to come see the house.
A visit booked
I look at the house
I come out myself, check how the house is built and where it has dropped, then write an estimate that lists what's included and what isn't.
A written estimate
We plan it together
If you go ahead, we set the schedule with you, including when you'll need to move out, so you can line up a place to stay.
A plan and schedule
The lift and the pour
The house goes up, and our own crew forms, pours and finishes the new concrete under it, with me on site on pour days to answer questions.
New support underneath
Clean-up and walk-through
We clean up the site and walk the house with you, so you see what was done before you move back in.
A clean site
What our foundation raising work covers
Marking the low spots
We measure across the floors to find which parts dropped and by how much before any work starts.
Picking the approach
We choose an approach that suits how your house is built and how far it has moved, and explain why.
Cutting where it's needed
When the work means opening up a slab or walkway, our concrete cutting crew makes clean cuts so the rest stays intact.
Lifting and supporting
The house is brought back toward level and set on new supports that reach firmer ground.
New concrete underneath
Our crew forms and pours any new footings or slab sections the raised house needs to sit on.
Driveway tie-ins
If the garage no longer meets the driveway after the lift, we can redo it with our concrete driveway building service.
What drives the cost of raising a house?
The house itself sets most of the price. A bigger home is more to lift and support, and the way it's built matters just as much. Masonry homes are harder to lift than framed ones because of how they're built and how much they weigh, though it can be done. How far the house has dropped, and how much new concrete it needs underneath, add to the work too.
The other big piece is how much of the job is in the contract. One bid might cover the lift and leave out the new concrete or the clean-up, so line up what each one includes before you choose. Ours lists what's included and what isn't.
Why Enterprise homeowners call us to raise a house
I've run this business since 2013, and I still come out to look at jobs myself. I learned concrete on a flatwork crew here in the valley, and I'd rather lose a bid than talk you into a full lift when new supports will do. You get straight answers about what your house needs.
I'm upfront about what a lift means for your household, including time living somewhere else and some drywall repair afterward. A licensed plumber and electrician have to disconnect every utility hookup for the lift, so we sort out with you early who books them and when. Call (702) 374-0991 and I'll come take a look.

(702) 374-0991Questions about raising a house
How is a house lifted off a settled foundation?
A house is usually lifted one of two ways, by raising it or by underpinning it with new supports under the old foundation. Supports called helical piles can add to or replace a foundation that has settled unevenly, cracked or heaved. A slab home can be lifted without its slab, which makes it lighter and is mostly done with wood frame and brick veneer homes, or with the slab attached, so ask us which suits yours.
How much does it cost to raise a house in Enterprise, NV?
Raising a house across the US usually costs about $10,000 to $80,000 per house, and that's the national picture, not our price. Where a home lands in that range depends on its size, how it's built and how much of the work the contract covers. I'll come out and put the figure for yours in writing.
How long does raising a house take, and will we have to move out?
A house raising usually runs about six to twelve weeks, and you'll be out of the house for part of that time. Temporary housing almost never shows up in a contractor's bid, so budget for a place to stay on its own. We'll tell you when you need to be out once the schedule is set.
Does the soil in Enterprise change a foundation raising job?
It can, because some ground in the Las Vegas Valley needs extra care. Clark County keeps maps of near-surface soil trends for engineers, and they mark areas where soil may swell, dissolve, corrode, hold gypsum salt or collapse when it gets wet. The county also says the soil on one lot can differ a lot from its map and advises getting site-specific advice from a design professional, so we plan around what that finds.
Will raising my house crack the drywall?
Yes, some cracked drywall is likely after a lift. Either method usually disturbs walls, floors and ceilings, so plan and set money aside for repairs inside once the lift is finished. We're licensed and fully insured and backed by our satisfaction guarantee, and I'll walk you through what to expect before we start.
How do I check a contractor's license to raise a house in Nevada?
Ask the contractor which license classification covers the foundation work on your home, since Nevada contractors are usually licensed by classification for the kind of work they can do. The Nevada State Contractors Board explains those classifications. You can ask me that question at the estimate.
