Hey everyone, I'm curious about whether it's possible to change the elevation of a house. Has anyone done this or know how it works? Looking for any advice or experiences!

Yeah, all things are feasible with enough funds! Just be prepared to shell out a lot of cash for this undertaking.
For sure! It's become more common, especially in areas prone to hurricanes or flooding. But, be ready for a big bill; I was quoted about $800k just for lifting a 3000 sqft concrete house! Sometimes it's cheaper to build new, especially if you have a slab foundation rather than a crawl space.
Definitely! You can find companies that specialize in raising houses. They basically jack it up and build a new foundation at your desired height. But keep in mind, this can be pretty pricey!
