House Moving
Well known for our marine construction services, Shaffer Construction, also has a long history of house moving.  Whether for insurance reasons, or to relocate an existing house to another area on your property, or to replace aging and damaged foundations or pilings, our experience with house moving may be part of the solution your home needs.

House Leveling
Many home owners find that older houses built on footers or masonry pilings eventually go out of level as footers crack and old pilings sink at different rates over the years. If neglected, houses eventually go out of plumb and floors begin to sag, causing even further damage to the structure. Shaffer Construction, will gladly arrange to do an on-site assessment of your home to determine the extent of repairs needed.

House Raising
Coastal environments provide homeowners with unique challenges. Among these is the problem of flooding, or the threat of flooding.  Insurance policies for flood risk, if available, can be cost prohibitive. Shaffer Construction, can remediate the problem by raising your home to levels acceptable to your insurance underwriter.

Foundation Repair/Replacement
Water rot and insects, especially termites, are the enemy of a sound foundation and flooring system. Whether the damage to your residence is extensive or in its early stages, Shaffer construction, can repair or replace rotted or infested joists, sills, and foundations.
