House Raising and Restumping for home owners and builders
We often get asked if we can do house raising or restumping. This type of work is typically carried out on Queenslander-style homes and other similar buildings that are raised on timber or concrete stumps.
Whilst this type of work is carried out on the foundation of a house, like underpinning, repairing raised houses is not something we do. We specialise in buildings that have a concrete slab foundation (AKA slab on ground), providing repair and restoration of concrete foundation problems through underpinning.
Who we recommend for house raising and restumping
The second we then get asked is “can we recommend a reputable house raising and restumping business?”
And the answer to that question is “Yes!“.
The business is Raise My House and we’ve had the pleasure of working closely with them on a number of projects. They provide house raising and restumping services to builders and homeowners across the inner and outer suburbs of Brisbane and Ipswich.
We’re careful to only recommend businesses that we know of first hand, have seen the work they do and have heard from their customers as to their level of satisfaction with the work provided. Raise my House is one of these businesses.
100+ houses raised every year, since 2010
The right experience matters. A lot of house raising and restumping businesses in Brisbane & Ipswich talk about their experience based on the number of years that they have been in the industry. The reality is that many of these businesses are referring to their time in the building industry in general - but not their house raising experience specifically. As a result, most don’t do anywhere near the quantity of the work that Raise my House do, nor do they have the depth of experience in their team.
Raise My House employs over 25 staff plus a further 20 contractors at any given time. They often have 40 plus people working over half a dozen jobs on any one day. As a result, since 2010 they’ve raise over 100 houses each year!
