Raising your home is an intricate process that comes with many questions for the homeowner. When you choose Carpenter's Complete to raise your home you know you are in good hands because we use our proven process to guarantee success every time.

The Process:

Phase 1: We start with a complete inspection of your home which allows us to identify any special needs that might arise during elevation. Then we obtain the permits needed to begin elevation.

Phase II: The second phase of the project is preparing your home to be lifted. Then the elevation begins with the Unified Jacking System. At this phase you can decide the stucco color, style of steps and hand rails for the home.

Phase III: The third phase of the process is the installation of the pilings. These are what the house will rest on once the home has been lifted. The home will be attached to the pilings and all plumbing, AC, gas and electrical will be installed to meet code for the new elevation level of the home.

Phase IV: The footing is now poured around the perimeter of the home to lock the exterior pilings in place. Upon completion, concrete blocks will be placed to fill the space between the footing and the original foundation of the home. Stucco will then be placed on the base of the home.

Phase V: The fifth and final stage of the process includes install railings, site cleanup, and application for an elevation certificated. After which the site will pass a final inspection to be conducted by the parish. Once the process is complete, you can enjoy your newly elevated home.
