Foundation Raising and Structural Retrofitting in Monterey

Lifting a home to repair its foundation or add a lower level is specialized work. It’s also one of the smartest ways to add space where lot rules are strict.

When Foundation Raising Makes Sense

Older Monterey Peninsula homes often sit on foundations that are failing or no longer meet seismic standards. House lifting in Monterey lets us replace or repair the foundation and strengthen the structure.

It also adds usable square footage in areas with tight lot coverage rules, by creating a new lower level.
